NBA Playoffs

The best time of the year in sports has arrived:  the NBA Playoffs.This year, we will all be witnesses to  have some of the greatest first round match-ups in the NBA, especially in the West. The most exciting series will predicted will be the Clippers vs. the Warriors, the Portland TrailBlazers vs. the Houston Rockets, and the Brooklyn Nets vs. the Toronto Raptors. Look for these exciting series, as these will probably be the most exciting ones. The West clearly has more very good teams this year. The Dallas Mavericks( the 8th and final seed in the West) had 49 wins in the regular season. The 3rd seed in the East (Toronto Raptors) had 48 wins. Those stats say enough.

From the gamer standpoint, most will be playing NBA 2K to celebrate the playoffs. Others may play NBA Live, or another good basketball game. Look for special playoff apps that celebrate particular teams, players, and cities. As a basketball fan , there is nothing like the NBA Playoffs.

NBA 2K 14 Mobile

After great reviews that  NBA 2K14 received, they released an ios version of the game in order to satisfy all of the public. I was able to see it on the Apple Store ,and I downloaded  it. For $4.99 ($7.99 for Android), I must say that it was a really good mobile game.

Mobile developers at visual concepts did a stupendous job at making the game very similar to the game. The introduction, music, and flow of the game is the same as on game consoles. The gameplay is very smooth for being a mobile game. The graphics on a mobile device is just as good as a 90's basketball game on game consoles. That is a huge step as mobile games continue to grow. With that being said , there are a few suggestions that I think could  be improved.

The first thing that could be improved is the controls. When playing, the left side is used to move the players. One the right side, their are 3 buttons on the right to do different things. The problem with that is that the buttons are small, therefore it is quite easy to press the wrong buttons. That can become very irritable, especially in crucial situations. 

While it is not the same as playing the game on a regular console (Playstation or XBox) , the mobile game will suffice as a game to play anywhere. NBA2K 14 is available for ios and Android.
