The development team at 2K Games working on NBA 2K14 is delivering a new television commercial for the coming basketball simulation that shows off the cover star LeBron James and reveals a short look at the next-gen gameplay that's created for the franchise.

The footage is heavy on atmosphere, but there's a limited look at gameplay because the publisher is more interested in showing the involvement of the most important players in the NBA than in revealing new mechanics.

NBA 2K14 will be launched on the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3 and the PC on October 1 in North America and three days later in Europe.

Versions of the basketball sim for the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 will arrive when the next-gen devices are available in November.

NBA 2K14 will introduce more physics to the simulation and more options for player creation and career management.
