Ignore the trolls. Just one extra copy for someone who actually wants to play it.

At first look, I thought it was very similar to 2k11, and still see a lot (which is expected) but that isn't necessarily a negative. After multiple views, the game looks great as I see more needed improvements . Too early to judge so we won't go there.

this is a old build was already stated by Ronnie which stilled showed improvements over 2k11, but do what you want, one last person taking my copy on release day.

Here's my take on the video:

These types of "spy videos" are more important to 2K enthusiasts and not the casual 2K player. I've skimmed through this thread and noticed people complaining about graphics. Graphics? Not the actual gameplay. We talkin' 'bout graphics, man. Not the gameplay that 2K goes out there and works their asses off to give us, but graphics.

I'm not sure what you'd expect from a low quality video taken from a few feet away from the tv, but take all things into consideration:

1.) This probably isn't anywhere near final build.
2.) It's a low quality video of casual, if not, new players of 2K.
3.) Any graphical changes probably won't be noticeable in this video (see #1 and #2)

Personally, I liked the video for what it is. Namely, Dirk's shot from what I see. Da_Czar's breakdown hit the nail on the head for this video.

People jump the gun with the "Looks like (insert previous 2K year), not buying it" comments, when time after time, retail is damn near a different game from the official demo release.
Be patient.

Ronnie2k all ready said its no where near final build

Noticed everything mentioned by Da Czar. Looking forward to this year's breakdown vids.

They need to replace some of the bump animations with ride animations when the angle is appropriate. And the defender should get bumped back a little when appropriate. I hope they get this right as it was one of my big issues with '11.

This and FIFA are the only games I'm looking forward to this year. Can't wait for this one!

Bold prediction, when 2K13's first gameplay vids come out...someone will say it looks like 2K12.

Typical.

No matter. Dirk's shot looks on point. When Butler went from the dribble to the shot it looked like one continuous animation...just the way it should. Very fluid and together.

Can't wait to see how it all feels.

Also, looks like you'll be allowed to dribble around a bit without your defender magically sliding in front of you and making you go in that unbreakable bumping animation.
