Good to hear the footage showed last night was a very early build. All player movements were looking oddly similar to NBA Live.

It is June people. It is June people. It is June people.

The game is 3 months+ away from being finalized.

This video probably isn't even from yesterday's most recent build.

The worrying thing is this is 8 months of work since last Oct. We got less in the way of patch fixes for 2k12 and we hoped that effort was at least focused on 2k13. I'm really not seeing much visible improvement other than a few tweaked animations. If anything, it actually looks worse than 2k12 and the sliding especially on off ball defense looks to be as bad as ever.

Hopefully this is an extremely old build-- or that they can work miracles in 3 months.

What's funny is that there is less sliding on the iPad version of the game.

So I can't comment on something unless I'm planning on PURCHASING it?

Brilliant.

If you're posting just for a response, especially a negative one then you should start reading the TOS now because alot of guys you see here now most likely wont be in the near future for making the same kind of mistake im describing to you now

I feel it'd make sense to assume NBA 2K's production cycle is not spent entirely on committing changes to gameplay one-by-one. I have to think there's pre-planning stages, planning stages, goals, tinkering, experimentation, and whatever else before finally reaching an implementation stage. I'm assuming that's why it's often easy to notice small things at this time of year (like the inclusion of a new layup animation) as opposed to the more sweeping alterations that were likely still a work in progress whenever this build was created.

Changing the color of Jordan's tongue (prior to 2K11), adding in a new cyber face 2K12), changing the color of a team's paint (Pistons)... those seem like one-to-one changes. As in, someone could likely pinpoint those problems and address them as they come. Something like altering the manner with which a defense reacts to a ball handler's dribble moves while reducing sliding, I'm thinking it's aspects like that which 2K is likely running through extensive planning and testing before implementing.

Granted, that doesn't mean they'll fix everything, just touching on what I feel the development process may encompass.

Let me just say it in a more direct way. Don't pay any attention to any video that is released this early. This build could have been from February. We don't know. But it is the same thing every year. Early videos and people complain only to find out that it. Honestly it is best if you ignore them.

But, I understand the issue some of you have since there were some glaring issues with 2K12.

Re: NBA 2K13 Gameplay Video Featuring Spurs vs. Thunder & All Star Weekend - 6/4 10PM

2k12 was awful and 2k13 will be as well.

I'm waiting til next gen to get another basketball game, 2k has ran outta gas this gen. it's just a fact.

Well you' re right, but 2K12 out of the box was very sloppy, full of glitches and very unpolished. So I guess people lost a bit of trust in 2K.

Not sure if you are serious or not but 2K12 was not terrible. It was a frustrating game but there are rosters out there that make the game light years better.

Check out HyperBaller's roster he does great work.

That is more because of the default rosters than the actual game engine.

its all gameplay mechanics cause no hex rosters can be used online. 2k slipped off and hopefully what we see in that video no way reps the final verson of the game.

Re: NBA 2K13 Gameplay Video Featuring Spurs vs. Thunder & All Star Weekend - 6/4 10PM

every year its the same thing people come on the '2k' forum to rip 2k. honestly 2k12 is a great game definitely not horrible. the same people complaining about the game are the same people upset that its not as offensively friendly as other basketball games. yeah theres cheesing and yeah theres gonna be things that need to be fixed(spin dunk, sliding, steals etc.) but theres not a better basketball game thats gonna come out other than 2k so live with it or grab the other game.

on another note ... im not too sure how i feel about that dunk contest guitar hero thing lol. they shouldve stole a page from live's playbook on that

Re: NBA 2K13 Gameplay Video Featuring Spurs vs. Thunder & All Star Weekend - 6/4 10PM

I just read that Live 13 preview and I feel like 2k spoils us now. Smh I'm passing on Live 13, just unacceptable that your 60% finished build is runs like that. I know there are going to be more people complaining about that 2k13 video but I want to say thank you to 2k for giving us a sim experience.

You have been here since 2009 so I am a bit disappointed that you clearly don't understand that there will be multiple builds before the final, to get a game ready to present this early they probably uses one of the first builds, Mike Wang already came on here to confirm this but just ignore him.

Trust me I know how the game is played that does not mean I have to agree with how they are doing it.

So what I have been in OS since 2009, what does that prove? Nothing!

I have been playing 2K since the 1st one, I have listened to all (Mike and Ronnie) of them for years and I know there will be many changes to the game.

Let me let you in on a lil secret; all the great gaming companies bring their games to E3 to show how great the game is or will be. 2K has been working on 2K13 at least 3 months and the unrealistic animations that many complained about are still there.

I said the same thing, but we are the bad guys. The fact is your skill level will determine how well you enjoy the game. Not saying you have to play on hof or superstar, but if a person its good at something they usually don't like it.

Once again you proved me right, did you just say they have been working on the game for 3 months and you were expecting more seriously, 3 months go read Steves live preview then talk, most of the other games at E3 have been in deveplopment for years so of course they will look more polished at this point, and like I said before 2k will have multiple builds like every other game before ie goes gold that the way the gaming industry works.
