The joystick overcompensates for small movements, and buttons for 'pass' and 'shoot' are unreliable at best. 'The virtual joystick controls in NBA 2K14 are still glitchy. He also elaborated upon the controls for the game this year in comparison to last year's game. 'This year, 2K Games comes closer to delivering a quality mobile basketball game, even if it fails to address many of the issues that worked against its predecessors,' Matthew Diener said in a review for Pocket Gamer.

One of the reasons for success with NBA 2K14 this year has been the way it has improved dramatically from NBA 2K13 - even the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions were a success. Sometimes, however, we are pleasantly surprised and this year was a big opportunity for 2K Sports to improve its basketball game since they had NBA 2K13 on the phone as well.

NBA 2K14 is now available on smartphones, but is the game as good on the phone as it is on next-gen platforms?
