NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #2 - Gameplay: Part 2

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #1 - Gameplay: Part 2

I can't tell for sure, but Boozer's dunk looks like a dunk animation that's been in 2K for a few years that I've never been a fan of, though in a way I think it looks different. The one I'm thinking of just felt clunky, and the force with which the player wound up for the two hand flush was not represented with the response from the rim (i.e. no breakaway but still clangy dunk noise). I am hopeful the one I'm thinking of is not present.

I was thinking this also. I don't mind the dunk itself. But as you said, the overall physics not matching up with the sound or vice versa kind of bugged me a bit in past 2Ks.
I'm not sure, but I'd like to see a fast break dunk that isn't so emphatic. Sometimes, players just do a regular 2-handed dunk to make sure they score (if a defender is near on a fast break) as opposed to a fancier dunk. Hopefully this one is a bit different.

My issue with this and the Melo gif is both of them finishing with their wrong hand.

I know it's an and-one and they're being hit...but at least let the animation continue through with their shooting hand. Too many lefty finishers in 2K for years.

Why is that?

Yeah, I didn't want to say anything because I already kind of picked on the Carlos Boozer dunk animation but I was thinking the same thing you are. If 2K didn't have a history of very strong lefty usage for right-handed players from very difficult distances and angles (drifting lefty hook-pushes were a real thing in 2K12), I probably wouldn't have had an issue. But seeing the lefty and-1 attempt two times in a two minute clip drew my attention.

Do we know anything concrete about Home/Away equipment in 2k13?

umm guys in the NBA can finish with both hands. Its not like kobe and carmelo were in jumpshot shooting form where they obviously shoot with their right hand , but their just trying to draw contact and throw the ball up and if the right hand isn't available they can still get a shot up with their left. its the NBA

The problem is how often they put up shots with their left hand, there was one shot selection type in 2k12 where the only way to finish was with the left no matter the players dominate hand or situation.

Melo has a legit reason to not to shoot with his right hand in that instance.

He has Metta World Peace and Hair Grease's huge *** sitting on it!

I'd like to think it's a context animation. I doubt they'll be finishing with their left on every And-One situation/animation. But maybe the devs were just trying to show different types of animations given the context of the foul(s) in the video.

You guys gotta love Kellogg after KD's dunk. "Hangtime and bangtime!"

I'm just glad to finally be able to get very excited to play a 2K without trying to force the feeling. Analog dribbling is the underlying feeling for this. Everything else is just icing, for me. Thx again, MW....and crew

awesome! the only thing that pushes me away from this series are the graphics. not realistic at all and the player models look like zombies

Perhaps this is more your taste :

After watching that Kevin Love up and under I'm a little bit scared, that move was OVERPOWERED in 2k12, it was basically the go to move for a lot of people (specially cheesers) in the post. I hope it's not the same like 2k12, where even Jeff Foster could become Hakeem Olajuwon for one night. Those up and under aren't an easy thing to do in real life.
