2ks Demo's are always different than the retail games, scaled down graphics, not much audio, no play calling, tons of features missing like playcalling, and the overall feel

getting used to the controls is a work in progress....but so far it seems to be for the better

the contact animations and mid air in the paint are amazing

the shot animations near the rim are very believable.... gone are the awkward looking finishes

speed is right on point and is refreshing to watch

dunks and layups....incredible animations so far

Yup and which is why I usually just use it for the controls(with whats available in the demo) and getting acclimated to them. I don't pay attention to the score or anything. Pretty sure I lost like 75% of my games but its whatever.

Game play is great. Everything positive you've heard so far is true.

A few things I haven't seen mentioned outside of momentum, blocks, smoothness all that...

I really like that they pulled the broadcast cam (for those that use it) out a little. Makes the court look more spaced.

I also really like the player movement. Everyone is moving around, players don't get in your way while dribbling nearly as much as in 2k12.

Controls are cool, a little tough to grasp even for a former Live guy like myself (and by former, I mean 05...did get 10 though)

As far as player specific authenticity, I had a weakside block of the backboard with LeBron that literally smashed off of the glass. Westbrook is doing awesome layups. KD's shot looks really nice this year.

Great stuff so far, just made the week wait that much harder

Edit: Forgot to mention the way the CPU attacks the rim is so realistic, no more leaning pump fake, pivot up and under crap

Offline as well...noticeably after a catch and shoot scenario...

The graphics are always better on the demo. The smoothness on frame is always better on the DEMO!!! Sure theres no audio, but in some ways thats EVEN better. The demo made me never use play calling because it made everything less repetitive.....i think this is why people enjoy the demo so much but never themselves understand why....

just a thought..

Ok i may be a tad bit bias giving my history i've had with 2k, and how much i hate live. But i love the game so far as the demo. My only wish is i can switch the right stick around can i use the lt + rs for dribbling rather than shooting i just don't like the idea of what they have now but other than that i say honestly this is the best nba demo 2k has ever brought out

Re: NBA 2K13 Demo Available Now For 360, Later Today For PS3, Post Impressions Here

My biggest issue with the gameplay so far is definitely the catch and shoot speed. I've been harping on it for years, but it still seems the same. 2k players are simply terrible at shot preparation, and then even when they do set up well it's still just about impossible to get a smooth catch and release motion.

This is probably the last remaining area where Live 10 still wins.

Pro: Shooting is goo

Dribbling good

Paint defense is better

Passing is alot better

Game feels alot better then 2k12


Cons:

Spin dunk is to easy to pull off, defense doesnt matter.Offline and Online. How often does an NBA Player Spin dunk? Blake maybe once or twice a season and lebron maybe once. So Y can we continue to abuse it with 95% success rate. That is the problem the success rate of Spin dunks Online is bad.

Rebounding is still poor

Hop Step and spin layups Is easy

Self alleys are to cheesy

I like the demo. However, I hope that they fix the up and unders on the retail version. The up and unders looked like they were overpowered in earlier gameplay snippets of 2k13, and in the demo the Up and under move is sightly "cheesey." I am confident that they will fix it though. I doubt they have advanced the game in every single aspect, just to drop the ball on the up and under moves. That is the only issue I had with the demo. If 2k fixes the up and under, then this edition could be the best yet.

Enjoying the demo. Good job 2k.
