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

i just had an odd call and-one call.

Westbrook(cpu) drives the lane then goes up for a two-handed jam. Battier(user) goes up right in front of the basket to contest the dunk. this results in Westbrook posterizing Battier right on the rim. however it looked like the ball bounced around the rim after the slam before it went through the net. (no replay, rats!)
Battier gets called for goaltending and Westbrook goes to the line for one. yikes!

i think the virtual ref thought Battier touched the ball as it was bouncing on the rim, explaining the goaltending call.
but at risk of sounding stupid, a big fear, why did Westbrook get the free throw? they called goaltending, not a shooting foul.
anyone have any ideas or thoughts?

It was a double call. A shooting foul can be combined with a goaltend.

Yeah it's NBA Live 2k. Which is good for me. It's like they finally figured it out. I've been talking about a dribble stick for a long time. It's too bad 2k can't just listen to me when I say things originally.

The only thing they need to do is make it so the dribble stick causes you to lose the ball when you try to do something that doesn't work so people can't just jerk the stick.

Control sticky thread helped me out a lot. Can't wait to use the absolute control option! Overall I like it and it is an improvement over 2k12

Anyone notice they pushed Lebron's headband down his forehead? Can that be changed?

How do you change to 2K cam without Kinect?

You dont. Kinect Exclusive.

That bug from last year where you miss a shot and your teammate tips it in, and it's credited to you, is in this demo.

My only complaint is the rebounding. Guys are still stuck on stupid and almost never in position. I don't think there are enough fouls being called. Otherwise I like the game.

Also, did anyone notice that when you finish an alley-oop, the backboard get's cloudy? WTH is that about?

Demo is set to Pro diff, default game style -- which leans more toward the casual audience.

When you get the retail version, change the game style to Simulation and play on All Star or above for a more OS-friendly experience.

The new defensive animations are perfectly tuned, IMO. You can get consistent contact without knocking the dribbler back 3 feet on every bump. Love all the new animations.

Hate the presentation, hate the free-style stick. Im not feeling the arcadish, overly-quick dribble moves as a replacement for easy control over shot types, but I understand we can change it back, right?

I don't get that decision, honestly. How much more easy And-1 dribbling can we possibly need? Now pulling off certain shot types on command can take up to 4 different inputs (Hold trigger, press B, then double tap shoot?), while any decent ball handler can whip out Hotsauce moves by wiggling the stick around randomly?

Overall, I love it though...as always.

Go to "Search" and type in "NBA 2K13 demo". That worked for me earlier, then they showed the demo in New Releases.

I find it hard to rebound in the demo. Even if my guy is in-position and boxing out an opponent at the back, the opponent behind my guy will still be able to get the rebound. My guy was Chris Bosh and the opponent was Perkins.

Do you have suggestions on how to rebound properly?
