NBA 2K13 - What we know so far! FAQ/Q&A

That's ridiculous if it does end up being random. Again stripping control from the users.

Lets just pray it's implemented in some way.

It won't be implemented this year.

That's how it worked for the past 10 years so it's not that ridiculous. It will work like it did in past versions of 2K, which I don't think is that big of a deal.

That's how lobs worked for the last 10 years is what you are trying to say?
If so it's been manual for quite some time now..

But if it is random, that means when you have a good look the AI will just lob it up for you right? I don't like that, again if I'm controlling my team I don't want the AI making decisions for me in the passing game. I thought this why we got manual bounce passes etc.

But at the end of the day I could live with out, nothing to big.

What I mean by random is is that you can't choose manually to lob it to someone, like in the post. It will work like it has the past years. Sometimes it's a lob sometimes it's some other pass. It's contextual is what I'm saying, and it's always been like that.

Ohhhhh I miss understood. You're talking about just a regular lob pass, I thought you were referring to alley oops. My fault man.

I have no problem with post entry passes being random. I just usually make space to make sure I get off a clean pass.

Oh, I'm sorry if it was confusing. I thought you mean lob passes into the post.

Alley oops are still manual! You press the X and A button at the same time on 360. That's the shot button and pass button.

They're releasing at least one more insight, about shoes, and Ronnie said they're gonna try to do a written insight about Association and maybe one more.

Like you said, just one week left so they won't have time to release that much more info but there's a release party next Wednesday and they will broadcast live from it so they'll probably drop a few new tidbits there.

2k is being very shy when it comes to info about the game and now they are realizing they are running out of time to reveal everything they should.

I must have a 2k info overload the last week because I'm forgetting stuff that was mentioned lol (or dreaming that it was). Wasn't it stated somewhere that your MyPlayer could get selected for the Olympics every 4 years??? If so who would u play vs w/ no FIBA license in the game? Forgive me if I'm tripping....

ipodkingcarter, or someone who went to 2K, said in a video that he thought that maybe 2K had hinted at the Olympics being in the game but he wasn't sure. This has not come up since then.

Re: NBA 2K13 - What we know so far! FAQ/Q&A

A few questions:

Does anyone know if ASW will be implemented into Online Association? Also, can someone confirm that all My Team packs etc will be bought with virtual currency only and not real money?

Thanks.

Re: NBA 2K13 - What we know so far! FAQ/Q&A

I know much has not been said about Association mode but has any specifics about All-Star weekend (not DLC w/ pre-order) for Association mode been discussed?
I would love to see revolving All-Star venues for offline Association mode (with full contests integration), that would definitely add to the level of realism. Nothing kills my Association franchise like seeing the All-Star game in the same venue year-after-year.

This year has been weird for sure

I mean, 2k doesn't blow everything out in marketing anyway, but there is a general confusion and feeling of lack of info this year... the hype is just dry and although its only a week away I feel like, I can actually wait this year.

What is going on!

I'm as hype as ever but I agree with you that it feels like we haven't gotten that much information even though, of course, we have gotten alot, but it doesn't feel as in-depth this year.

Re: NBA 2K13 - What we know so far! FAQ/Q&A

The details have been weird or sparse, or spread in too many areas

Its definitely weird, but I didnt think about it til Czar brought it up on his show last week, and someone else mentioned it last night...

I want to play but I dont sense the craze that's usually here...

We did have the yearly obligatory, "i got the game early" dude who some people always believes has it and he ends up banned for lying

I'm feeling that too. Though for a moment this morning, when I saw that ios Greatest Games screenshot, I felt the magic return for a moment, until I later discovered that mode is not on the console (according to the Best Buy thread).
