The game does not have the "sense of urgency" of other games at the moment. If you played and liked 11 for the fast-paced, always too much to do gaming, then you might be let down with 14. This game for the summer is awesome though. You can easily walk away when you friends say "Hey dude let's go to the pool". Because the only real action is NM's at the moment, you don't have to sign your life away to a linkshell. The direction seemed to be ultra casual when I first started and as time goes on it's starting to veer to more action and group orientation. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing but I'm along for the ride.
