[mdoud10]

the shot stick is still there... you have to use the left trigger to initiate a shot i guess. read it in this article:

Wow, this video has definitely amped up my interest in 2K13. I really like the ability to change your stance on defense to shade the ball handler. I had some issues with on-ball defense last year, so I'm curious to see how much better it feels this time around. Keep these videos coming.

Looks good as always. The shading controls are a real nice addition.

I like the idea of right stick dribbling just because it's much more accurate and easier to control than the old Isomotion control scheme, but I'm just curious how the shooting is going to work now.

Maybe Mike is bringing back Live 10's shooting controls? I prefer the shot stick but I thought that was a really good control scheme as well.

Another thing to take note guys is that the player models got a huge upgrade! The huge shoulders from the past 2k games are gone and it looks like it's more player specific....the calves looked skinnier to to give the player that much needed taller/lanky look...

Yup, I'll just be happy if the physics portion on the defensive end is cleaned up. Interesting to see a few of these new features, as on the surface they seem to be re-introductions of what they offered previously. For instance, shading the ballhandler was present in. . . I want to say. . . 2K8 (with the red meter below the defender). And right-stick dribbling is a return to the original Iso-Motion.

Of course, my presumption is each of these re-introductions provides an entirely new level of refinement and awesomeness.

So far, so good. We'll have to see how smooth the adjusted system feels, but they're saying the right things and I'm encouraged by the very brief footage.

"Why is this guy catching up when physics tells us he's already beaten?"

That's pretty much 2K12 in a nutshell and I'm glad this was recognized by those in the know.

That's what I'm saying I'm glad the developers aren't as blind as some of the people that thought the 2k12 defense was realistic.

OMG! That other basketball game has NO CHANCE for a comeback.

I only have two items on my wishlist for NBA2k13:
1. That we can play the game, unranked online, with custom settings.
2. That we can play unranked, online with classic teams.

Please 2K, I beg you. Been asking for this for the last two years now.

holding a trigger to initiate the shot stick is a bad thing. Right stick dribble (a la nba live) is already in game is you change control configs i think. Anyways, i hope we dont have to hold a trigger just to turn the right stick from dribbling to shooting. thats a chore i rather not have

I hope that playing on ball defense is not only fun, as they say, but rewarded as well.

I'm actually ok with this..

For players who developed muscle reflexes for the Shot Stick, getting used to the Control Stick is going to require an adjustment period. In my short time with the game, I was still accidentally making a dribbling move instead of hoisting up the rock when I saw an opportunity to shoot. Visual Concepts producer Rob Jones says that after playing a handful of games you should get the hang of it.

he's right...it will take probably just a few games to get used to it and the demo will be just for that! Holding down the L-trigger is already hardwired to you anyway thanks to the isomotion...you just need to adjust it from shooting instead of dribbling

Wow this is a huge upgrade. I was surprised that the first developer insight already focused on gameplay. Props to 2K devs!

Very very happy to see this, this might be the year I actually start winning!

player models look toned down which is a plus, but the uniforms look extra baggy. I love the implement of defensive stance control. So happy they put some effort into the defensive side especially on ball.

Wasn't Mike Wang the last guy to help put out NBA Live 2010?

Tbh that's one of the things that I like with NBA 2K. Getting used to new stuff practice and learn. Especially if it's an improvement just like the post game last year for example.
