I don't care what anyone says, I like the menus and the music, lol.

That said, about 10 min in, the game looks fantastic on PS3 this year, sounds great, and plays buttery smooth. I was I could use 2K Cam, but other than that, this demo is golden......

..... See what I did there?

Nice job again 2K!

I agree I'm diggin the soundtrack as I expected. Very fluid on PS3. Can't wait to try the control stick w/ other premiere ball handlers.

There was no collision because Bosh stepped back/back peddled and there is no suction 2 man animations there

How could you not love this

Bosh was definitely not back peddling and actually had forward momentum when contact was made. He instantly starts moving backwards at the point of contact when he should have ended in some sort of collision animation. His feet might have been moving as he was pushed away but that looks more like the game "animating" the sliding rather than Bosh really responding in a realistic way. It definitely looks wrong and seems to be a mild case of the sliding we saw repeatedly in other videos. I haven't encountered anything that bad in my playthroughs so I hope it's rare.


I kind of have to chuckle and wonder how you *could* love this. Seems like this is what the collision system was supposed to address.

Ok, lets just say it is alittle different holding the LT to use shot stick, however it is something like alot of people said I can work around, depending on the situation I find myself using both the button and stick just depends on what type of shot I take... whoever wrote that the graphics look like 2k12 should look again, the graphics are more defined and crisp and a bit more tighter than last year .. the Dev video did not lie when they talked about detail on fingers with shooting and dunking, I thought they did good job last yr with that but it is more defined, the players do help more on defence, also they do a good job of filling lanes and cutting to the basket .. it is a pretty real game experience .. would like to check out other teams though .. have thrown a few alley opps that were nice .. I do like the the more TV style presentation over the one that they have this yr .. seems al ittle to AND 1nish meaning over the top a little, tracks are nice though and I really like the opening showing Miami .. really liked that in 2k12 hope they do that more this yr. overall though great gameplay once ou get used to it took me bout a hr

I have seen some horrible help defense.They are not even reacting when someone is driving right at them.

Pros:

- Slick presentation.
- Faces, nice.
- Shooting form is spot on.
- Animations are the best ever in a basketball video game.
- Dunking is pretty nice.
- 3PT shots seem harder.

Cons:

- Defense is weird.
- The pass button (PS3, X) seems rather unresponsive. Tried it on 2 controllers.
- Some crossovers are a ineffective.
- Lack of foul calls.

Overall, great. Not as all around as 2K11, but it is surely close.

AI seems much more decisive this year. I had Durant size me up and take me to the rim for the slam, which was kinda awesome.

The new controls will take some getting used to, though. I've had a number of offensive boards under the hoop that I have failed to go straight back up on because I didn't remember to hold L2.

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

Im liking the demo thus far, but I really need to get that control scheme down. I find myself reverting back to the older layout but when I remember the new system it works very well. I feel like I have no clue how to do any of the dribble moves.

I would like to try the new system where the dribbling is uses the L2 modifier and the shot stick remains the same. That one might work best for me as I tend to naturally go to it.

One thing that kinda bugged me, they have a Kanye West song in the demo but half of it is silent due to censoring....I hope the final version has the full song and not just the nice beat lol

Overall it is very very smooth and ill enjoy it for sure this year. Steep learning curve thats for sure but not a bad thing

Pressing the shoot button feels easier to me in that situation.

Glad to see the AI take some 'tough' shots....hope this is still the case in the retail...

It seems to easy to steal the CPU

ive gotten a lot of steals by just tapping square and they drop the ball

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

You know, honestly, I'm not seeing much advantage to the control stick right now. I don't seem to be able to do anything I wasn't able to before, and it doesn't seem that much more responsive. Maybe I make a few less mistakes with the spin moves, but the penalty seems to be a new learning curve (which I don't mind), less smoothness than 2K12, and weirdly animated carries all the time (which I do mind).

Maybe I just need more practice but it looks a bit laggy and glitchy unless you get the timing right whereas that wasn't quite the case in 2K12.
