2K Sports Expecting to Make a Big NBA 2K13 Announcement in the Next Couple of Weeks

It does get a bit frustrating when the loudest voices in the community are always going on and on about accessories...it gives 2k the vibe that that's what the majority of the fanbase cares about.

No it doesn't. 2K's employees are more intelligent than that.

The announcement will have nothing to do with shoes, but geez I wish people would realize that improving/adding on shoes and legends does not affect nor take away from gameplay--there are separate people in separate departments for this. You don't have to, but look at the credits in a video game and you'll understand.

If a director wants to improve on the cinematography of a movie sequel, it doesn't affect the casting of the movie because the cinematographer doesn't work on the casting--it's quite a simple concept. That's why many schools across America focus on English Language Arts without taking away from Math--your Calculus teacher shouldn't be teaching your English Lit class.

I'm hoping they bring back the crew games and make it so that you can play pick up games with your friends.

I'm intrigued by their possible announcement for 2K13. A lot of people were disappointed in 2K12, while I personally enjoyed the game and hope they make plenty of improvements ( passing, interior scoring, rebounding, etc. ). Live being back and this being their only yearly title also brings added pressure and they can't afford to drop the ball.

Off-topic: Sucks to think that MLB, NHL & NFL 2K have all gone the way of the Dodo bird. Sports gaming is shrinking more and more as a genre.

Don't tell me it's going to be another 'legends' type of mode. I'm really getting sick of it. I hope it has something to do with online and what they're going to do there because everyone knows 2K servers is always garbage.

They're going to introduce a "brand new" Crew Mode but it will be a paid DLC. Then we find out that all along it was on the disk already and they just sold us what we already bought

Hopefully they changed the passing to make it more sensible and not so mercurial. You never know how the pass is going to be thrown, nor do you know where it's going. Trying to convert a simple 3-2, 2-1 fastbreak is a nightmare in this game.

You guys seriously care about shoes?

Hahahaha I know. How about fixing the game of basketball first of all.

The 2k marketing hype begins with an announcement about a future announcement, nice LOL.

[Saviour]

If the announcement is anything other than a new basketball engine with Real Time Physics then its not a major announcement. Im done with the gimmicks, legends, and addtional canned animations (which btw have ruined the game). All the world knows that NBA Live will scrap the 2 player animations and canned animations, and the rumors are that Madden is going to a RTP engine so 2K has to step up and scrap this engine. They have gone as far as they could go with it in 2k11 and even that beauty showed the limitations of a animation heavy sports game.

Last 2k told us that they got the right for NBA Brand

maybe this year it will be ok and Barkley will be in 2k13, or All Star Week End, Dream Team, Miller.

Maybe phil Jackson and 96 Bulls team will be to the E3 because everything since 2 years have been about Jordan, when we see the success of NBA 2k11 and 2k12, it could be normal to see that.
A new mode Jordan with great playoffs and season game, maybe several game of a series (between Suns and Bulls in 93)
A explanation of the real triangle system with Jordan and Phil Jackson
and trust me i think i'm a hardcore gamer

Re: 2K Sports Expecting to Make a Big NBA 2K13 Announcement in the Next Couple of Wee

Honestly I hope its about gameplay. Cover athletes/celebrities/kinect controls/whatever don't interest me. Show me that you improved the subtleties of the gameplay and you'll get me excited.

That's sad they haven't added that.
