Pretty good online record right now, threw a full court pass to LeBron from Wade for a dunk, the animation flowed smooth

I'm pretty sure when Kevin Durant learned to play basketball he didn't learn to cross over the first 3 times he tried. I'm pretty sure it took persistence and alot of practice.

Lol, did you really just compare learning the controls on a video game to kevin durant ACTUALLY learning dribble moves in real life? Look, i agree that some people need to calm down and give the controls a chance(to me they feel unnatural but i attribute that to me being used to previous control schemes), and that it will take some time. But you should calm down a bit as well man.

Man, the learning curve is WAY steeper than I would've thought. Playing in broadcast cam is throwing me, but I'm getting used to it.

I keep doing dribble moves when I try to score. I'll probably default to pressing square this year.

Change it to the 2k cam. Just say "switch camera" with kinnect sensor and mic on

It's a decent comparison.

When you try something the first few times you don't automatically get the hang of it after trying it for 5 minutes. Don't matter what it is.

I'm not frustrated with the game. It's just the fact that I'm pissed about what this forum has turn into. A bitching fest smh.

i wonder if in a 12 min quarter, the final game stat would be realistic. too much/easy to block? easy to score but the defense improved much?i don't see the logic.

The pacing in the demo feels right....I hated playing 2k12 on 12 minute quarters as the first quarter would end up in 30 points lol

Going to d/l the ps3 version when I get home...going by history the controls for the ps3 version always felt tighter for me ....

Remember, there are no sliders, it's probably on rookie or pro and on casual sliders. Plus, it's not the retail version so don't worry about it.

On another note:
- There are still no replays after fouls if the ball doesn't go in
- No stats overlays during free throws. Hope they didn't take that out of the game.

Took me forever to get this to work, someone else posted with wrong commands....but with kinnect on(mic on) after the kinnect is listening comes on, you can say "switch camera" and change between broadcast and 2k cam.

2k cam is in the demo!

Changed the whole demo for me... Cant play on Broadcast camera as good as it looks...

Loving the presentation, player interaction, kinect controls, and smoothness of animations so far. Disliking the momentum of player control, and sluggish movement.

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

Loving the demo.

Im not going to waste my time trying to master the controls. I hate "camera relative". Broadcast camera doesn't help either. It makes it to hard to learn the controls when every time you want to do a crossover, or spin, you have to move the r-stick in a different direction. I will have to get use to using a face button again for hop step.

Does this happen to anyone else? Sometimes when I spin, my player will do a small step back after spinning. He wont crossover, he will just do a step back.

Post game is once again awesome. I feel this aspect of 2k basketball does not get enough love. If you learn the post game, you will be almost unbeatable.

Some things I have seen from the A.I. Is beautiful. Player movement is awesome. Playing with MIA, players are constantly moving. Im also seeing players being where they are suppose to be. Ray Allen, and Chalmers is staying at the 3pt and never goes into the paint. Durant also stays on the perimeter.

How in the world do you do the protect the ball stance? I know how to jab step, and step over, but when I push the R-stick back with no dribble used, my player starts to dribble. Is hitting Y to go into the post up stance now used as the protect the ball stance? I know you can rotate the R-stick out of the post to do a quick spin, so maybe that how you do it now? If so I will also have to practice that more to make it look smooth. Also have to practice how to launch after taking a jab step, or step over.

I found my go to move. In the post while holding the ball move LS toward basket + Y for faceup drive, Hold R2 + double tap O for spin dunk. I tried and tried to do this all last year but it was nearly impossible due to the fact that after spinning in the post, you had to rotate the stick to spin. The controls was just to clustered to do this. Also with the faceup drive, it makes it look so beautiful. Its the move players like Dwight, and Amare always do where they faceup out of the post, jab step one way, spin another way, then finish with a dunk. Unstoppable with the right player.

This is what im talking about, except Dwight does not take a jab step after facing up in this vid.
Hmmmmm.....I smell cheese from Dwight...

Complaining does not equal bitching. If some people have a problem with something, they have a right to say so. If nobody complained about anything, nothing would get fixed.
