Where do you start at... I love the contextual emotions oozing from the players. This will take the gameplay to another level! The animations are out of this world!!!! That Rudy Gay dunk was just NASTY!!! That Paul George dunk was FILTHY!!! The emotions of Paul Pierce, The Jet doing his signature... etc. Looks like they redeemed Stephan Curry from getting his ankles broke to breaking some ankles himself! I am all over the place. That trailer I think was by far the best one yet! It is clear that the animation dept. went nuts during the development cycle. The hype machine has run off the track!! Damn u Oct. 2nd... damn u

Good point. My post was just pointing out the silliness in deacon21206's reply on why the Jordan reference was bleeped. It wouldn't bump the music up to a Teen rating.

The game looks clean. The job that the animation team did this year is top-notch in terms of cleaning up the transitions between animations.

Kudos to the 2K dev team for what appears to be a job well done once again. Basketball gaming is finally stepping up to the level of other sports.

2k's basketball game was actually the leader IMO, right up there with The Show and NHL in all the important areas.

I guess 2K cant show any Nets highlights cause the uni's are not allowed to be shown until Jay-Z unveils it at his concert at Barclay.

if only they could give attention and perfect the animations for passing this game would be perfect

I was hoping for a sneak peek but when I saw the Knicks with the retro I realized 2k knew better than to spoil any more uniforms.

I said that is the only thing that I can find fault in from the trailers.

Ofcourse it's subjective and I don't think it's a "game killer" or anything over board like that. Once again if the A.I. is on point this game could be the best sports game to date.

Basketball games (even 2K11) felt arcade-like compared to baseball, soccer, and hockey games for the past couple of years. I think 2K13 could be the first basketball game to really challenge their level of realism as far as animations are concerned.

The NBA 2K games sold well but that's another topic entirely.

For some reason I think when 2K showed that in the trailer of the Knicks new uni's that was not suppose to happen but it got swept under the rug

Guys it's ok

October 2nd is almost here.

# 116 SwagDoc101 @ 09/10/12 01:03 PM

looks amazing...not here to complain but i have a feeling that we are going to lose too many dribble animations with the new control stick...the trailer only had one sequense of dribble moves which looked amazing with curry...im just thinking that everyone will look exactly the same if they performed the same set of moves from a lack of signature style and 2k eliminating dribble packs.guess well have to wait and see. overall the game looks outstanding tho

Ehh... I see your point but don't agree fully.

I still saw some problems with the AI I don't like from their gameplay video release. I think as a whole though, when played competitively with the right people, 2K has had a high bar for a while. I think The Show has been the standard against the AI but (believe it or not) 2k hasn't been TOO far behind (especially once sliders and such are modified).

The tools are all there though for the most part. These games have come a long way in the past 5 years or so.

Gameplay seems to be considerably more fluid/smoother this year. Big step up from last year. All the newly added animations are cool too. My expectations have been exceeded once again. Nice job 2k. Obviously this game won't be perfect, but every year what impresses me is that it improves considerably EVERY year.

Actually the crowd is always that lively and that's a problem...
