NBA 2K13 Gameplay Video - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat

[Saturnis]

TELL ME WHATS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS GAMEPLAY, GET OFF THE 2K HYPE TRAIN THE PLAYERS ARE CHUNKY, IT LOOKS CLUNKY, THE LIGHTING IS POOR THE COMMENTRY IS THE SAME
PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME WHATS SO SPECIAL?

man this is pre-alpha watch when it comes out man. Its going to be so much better. /live sarcasm/

Here are a few things I noticed:
[LIST]

• 02:17, 03:55- Shot clock cheese? Although there was plenty of instances where the A.I had missed buzzer beaters, so I'll give the benefit of the doubt here.

Time to put that stupid rumor to rest. As in the video you see Nash make it and metta miss it. They both would have been 1 for 1 if that "cheese" exisited.

Love how ign comes through with game play before 2k lol. I like how the contact is implemented this year. Also like that Kobe dribbles like Kobe and same with lebron and Nash. They look and act like there real self.

Looks exactly the same to me. Same comentary and same dumb crowd that don't know when to cheer. The lack of atmosphere kills the whole experience as it always has.

Will pass.

I must say that I could stand to hear some new voices in the booth. These are the elements that cause the game to feel the same from year to year. The in-stadium immersion needs some freshness added to it....

Why IS IT that 2k doesn't fix up the crowd and atmosphere? They seem to listen to everything else the audience asks for..

Wade didnt ANIMATE THROUGH, thats his avoidance Euro Step, he step in between defenders

Now that I've watched it a few times it doesn't look that bad...just, at first glance, the transition between animations was a little jarring/slight disconnect. Again minor details, as the game in its entirety is looking sweet!

My dream is one day all sports games incorporate multiple announcing teams imagine having our current crew then add an option for the other TNT team

Looking like next week.

Is an association insight possibly written still on the agenda for latter this month?

The one thing I did notice that I really like and should strongly increase the realism is the lack of suction and what that freedom does for spacing in the game.

That would be pretty interesting and would definitely add variety. I wonder if they'd ever consider doing that....

It's funny that people are using the fact that Ron Artest gets shook on a move from LeBron is somehow a negative. I mean would you rather he suddenly BAMF in front of LeBron like he has the X-gene when he's clearly beaten? What's the point of going in triple threat or isomotion if the CPU can block any move at any time? I loved that play. Artest ain't gonna be able to guard him all the time even if he does have the lockdown sig skill.

I'd settle for the end of the commentary version of Madlibs *insert player name* has just scored *insert number* points and *insert number* *insert non-point stat* so far. But that's something pretty much every sports game has. Only way that'll end is if there's some AI type audio blending tech that smooths out the inflection differences between words to make it all seem like one big recorded sequence.

Artest is still a great defender, but he can't guard fast players anymore. His lateral quickness is shot. Durant proved that dozens of times throughout last year. But for your Jared Dudley's, Gallinari's, and Luol Dengs of the world, they still are going to have a bad night when Ron Ron comes to town.

Also, people talking about when LeBron got behind Artest and and he reached out to block it? That was a thing of beauty. In 2K12 he would've actually stood a solid chance of blocking the shot in that situation. In this one, because he's facing the wrong friggin' way, he just sticks a hand out and hopes the ball runs into it. Doesn't even jump cuz he knows he's beat.

LOVE that. Gonna be fun getting into the paint now.

Gasol really dove t the rim on on pick and roll opportunity.

All I need is to see how manually controlling bigs off ball and how off ball movement is controlled, namely, whether you can get through the paint without being bumped into a standstill and whether you can sprint through screens or just kinda briskly jog like before?

Gasol stayed step for step with LeBron. Thats is bad!!

Given the hype built by 2k, I'd expect that the leap from 2k12 was much more evident. I mean, it clearly looks good and there are some improvements but no any revolution or significant evolution. Most of what I saw was already in 2k12.
And the AI offense was really disappointing (just look the play at 3:30 or the missed exploitation of the mismatch Gasol/DH12 vs battier)
