NBA 2K13 Hands-On Preview From Gamescom (JerzeyReign)

And from your description, it sounds like defense is a lot more fun and effective in 2K13. I'm big on double-teaming so that's great news that there is actually help defense when a player appears to be in their danger zone.

I really hope 2K13 is as good as what I'm seeing from these early builds, I bailed on 12 pretty quick.

Any word on fatigue?... is it still a non-factor? Will calling timeouts still allow you to play the same 5 energized players for the entire game?

Any word or the ability to save an online profile so we don't have to make a whole slew of adjustments before every game?

And, of course, any word on server improvements, if any?

Thanks.

Did you notice any off the ball fouls?

2K has done most of the things the fans asked for, glad they listen to us.

Dev's are very in tune with the fans and feedback. NBA 2K13 is a testament to that in my opinion.

I think I saw LeBron with the gatorade icon in one of those gamescom videos, so I guess that's at least a good sign?

Whoever went through the wishlist thread here. They picked up on a few key things I wanted just from the gameplay I have seen and the articles I read.

Im glad one of the things he didnt care for was the crowd. I dont really pay much attention to them anyways so if that's one of the low points, that's a good thing...to me

Thanks for the detailed preview.

I would like to hear about the post game. I'd like to hear about calling for picks, but I believe once again that has been disabled in the demo.

Great read here. Explained a lot of things more in-depth.

[Miguelito Kache305]

Question!!! From the videos I have seem, it looks like the passing game havent change much... The issue its still there for wat I seem, the only difference is the bounce pass... Do they still have that ugly over the head pass?? Tha rarely happends in the real nba??
Thank you it was a gread read but I still think the passing needs way more improvement than a bounce pass.....

Thanks for the preview.

Like what others have raised, have you tried the new post-up controls? How was it? How about the too much up-and-unders of mediocre players, is it still there?

And last one, how was the hop-step button? Could it be a source of cheesing again like NBA 2K11?
