	The controls have been changed. He was very impressed with the presentation, he wished EA would do the same. He was having trouble speaking and playing at the same time. You now have to do the trick moves with the right stick. He was playing the console version. PC looks better, as always. The game is very fluid. He would recommend us to buy the game. He was very pleased with the commentaries. At the end, the commentator spoke about the fact that the game will get great reviews... That's it folks.

Looking at the bench, it appears James Harden got a much needed graphical update.

I hate that pass...why does he have to come to a stop just to make that pass? They need more passes where you keep your momentum and keep running.

No one noticed the CPU controlled signature gather into jumper?

THIS. this is something i've hated about the passing in 2k games for a while...all of the stopping pass animations and stopping catch animations...when players are stopping every time they throw and catch passes, it ruins that feeling of fluidity and explosiveness that the nba has. please give us more moving/momentum passes and catches. i've always wanted the ability to catch a pass and smoothly transition into dribbling without having to wait for the catch animation to finish. i don't know why 2k always makes you stop to catch a pass (except on fast breaks).

These guys obviously wasn't there when I was draggin' folks thru the mud, lol. Lost my first game 16-15 and then just went off on everybody else I played. The game I'm going to send to Steve is actually me playing the CPU because nobody wanted to pick up the sticks lol.

# 27 Goffs @ 08/16/12 02:28 PM

Jake Gyllenhaal sighting at 1:40

Anyway I like how smooth it is and anybody see Westbrook doing some hand motions while dribbling up the court? nice touch

I'm going to type something formal up like DaWolf. A quick impression though? 2k11 will be dethroned. But I literally just walked into the house -- my first priority is to message LD2k about a bug I seen though. Video will be uploaded within the next 10 minutes -- full thoughts will be typed up after I relax a little -- it was a 2 and half hour drive going almost 100 mph the whole time

Good footage or did you have to ninja it? As in be sneaky and stuff....any footage would be good right now

# 32 WizardJay @ 08/16/12 02:42 PM

GOD!!! those contest shot animations still look horrible!!

# 33 SouthBeach @ 08/16/12 02:47 PM

Maybe it's just me, but the camera angle looks improved.

At a glance, the fluid movements tied in with the camera made it look like a real broadcast to me.

Agreed. That was indeed nice to see. I sort of saw it coming, after a big thread about it last year, where a guy at OS brought the idea up, but worded it horribly, was subsequently roasted by everyone here, then had a 2K developer step into the thread and state the original thread starter's thoughts had given him a great idea for 2K13 (thus swiftly quieting all detractors).

Added translation to OP.

I was really hoping for the same thing lol. That was my biggest gripe with 2k12 was the horrible player movement and all the sliding and unresponsiveness of players as they moved around on the court and tried to change directions. It looks like its improved in 2k13, but still doesn't look to be as explosive or responsive of foot movement like what 2k11 had.

Hey Steve, why didn't you use my translation? Not to knock guylian but I think mine's a bit more accurate.

# 38 Eman5805 @ 08/16/12 03:41 PM

LIl' thin I just noticed, Thabo catches the ball in his left hand then starts dribbling immediately without touching the ball with his right. Almost all in one motion.

*strokes chin*

Alright nah, 2K. I wonder, there any chance of this kinda thing happening, hm?
.

Chance of implementing touch passing, perhaps? Lil' give and go magic? Eh? Tryin' to increase fluidity of ball movement? A lil' change of passing on a dime to take advantage of a gap in the defense?

Or was that in last year's game I just never noticed?

# 39 Vni @ 08/16/12 03:45 PM

Maybe there a skill attribute for sharp passers like nash, Paul & co?

I am hopeful they added SOME of the balance your wanted to the defense. Where the moves may not appear as explosive as your wanting if the defense has been slowed in the form of weight and not magi-sliding into position the moves when used properly will be able to get you open.

That is what I talked to them about when I was there. We spend a good deal of time and they even put in some new code to regulate defensive reaction time based on the player vs player matchup.

My hope is that in the end product that even though you don't explode as your wanting... In the right matchup's the moves are still effective.
