Just made a buzzer beater online and the refs checked the replay if I released the shot in time. Nice.

Wish I had Kinect so I could switch the cams.

There are some guys that just want simple, the guys that want to be able to just drive to the hoop and dunk at will without having to put any creative effort into it.

I see it all the time when I attempt to get a good game online. Hesistation, step backs, cross overs and such don't apply to these guys. They're turbo turbo turbo, dunk dunk dunk all day.

They're not happy that they actually have to work and learn something new, that would in the end benefit them. I don't understand how one can be upset that they have FULL control of the moves their player does on the court.

This is so true! When you play randoms online they just turbo and dunk. Nothing difficult, nothing to make them sweat and use strategy nothing. That's why I keep my random playing to a minimal on retail versions.

Can't wait till you switch back over to the 360 to get some games in.

Well, we can't all agree or it'd be one hell of a boring discussion forum dude!

I just can't stand the new controls. And I so wanted to like them, but I shouldn't have to have two sticks mapped out for movement and dribbling, I see no sense in that whatsoever. After a couple of crossovers/spins/hez on the demo I was just left feeling empty. No excitement at all, just a cumbersome, awkward experience. No-one should have to double tap a shot stick to pull off a stepback jumper, there's nothing smooth about that, I was expecting my player to pull off a hadouken fireball with some of the control actions.....

I'm glad you guys are digging the new stick, wish I was there with you.

Great post defending your argument.

I understand what you're saying, my first few games also I was like damn maybe I won't get the hang of it. But I'm pretty good at the dribble moves right now. Also I don't see why people iso every time down the court. NBA palyers dont iso everytime down the court. Isolation is used in moderation. When a play breaksdown and they go in scramble mode. Or when you have a mismatch of course, or when you see could make a quick move for a score instead of running the full play.

I lol'ed at the hadouken line tho

Why couldn't they do it like this?


Default:
1. Shooting stick stayed the same like 2K12
2. Press LT and you can use the iso-motion stick

So you just switch it around.

I wish I could change the cam to 2K-cam but I can't so I'll have to wait until the full game is out and I'll practice with the stick. The demo also feels slow, when passing to a player with the stick and when you want a defender to shove in.

But besides that: I DON'T NEED TO DO 100 ISO MOTIONS IN 1 MINUTE RIGHT? I'm feeling the focus is too hard on these moves. I'm not someone that just presses turbo constantly and goes for lame dunks with Lebron over and over again.

I do play the game the right way, as sim as possible, I do use plays, I do try to play as realistic as possible.





Rofl just want simple? Get real.

Like I said: I'm no cheeser, I try to play as realistic as possible, I'm not someone who guns and runs and tries to dunk over 5 people with Lebron and cheese my way in. I just want that the controls allow me to shoot first and press LT to let me use the Iso motions. It feels better.


I don't see CP3 doing 10 of these moves during 1 possession. I see people doing tons of spin moves in one play, that's not the purpose right? That's ridiculous.


I'm definitely going to try and learn to play with the right stick, but if I don't like it that automatically makes me someone who likes it the easy way and don't want to learn.

Talk about being obnoxious.

Good that you're not a cheeser and you play sim ball. But who does 100 iso moves a game? I emulate the NBA to every little detail I can. The only time iso moves are used in the NBA is when plays breakdown, mismatches, mismatches on switches and a quick move in transition, or when you run off a screen and you have a chance to attack.

So you don't use 100 moves a isolation, but it's good to have a 100 moves at your disposal when you do isolate to switch it up, keep it fresh, to entertain your self and just flat out make the defender and your opponent look stupid.

Ahhh, the never-ending 2k version of the chicken or egg argument. It's really just preference. I feel more simheads like the broadcast cam because it looks like what you see on TV. Whereas others like 2k cam because you see the whole floor, you can see lanes better, and it's like you're actually playing. I like broadcast personally, but 2k isn't terrible.

I agree 100% with this post.

We could run some real basketball when the retail version releases.

I'm really liking the demo. A lot. I was not a fan of 2K12. Most of my issues with that game appear to be ironed out.

Only negatives I see so far is that there's still a little too much sliding off of defenders. Too little contact. Or contact having too little of an effect. Also, too many crossovers are happening when really close to the defender.

Only other gripe is the Perkins seems to be a little too graceful. Some of his finishes were a little too finesse and too pretty for Perk. Need to be more deliberate and slow.

You think so? When I try to do a basic crossover when I don't have a realistic amount of space the ball is usually stripped, I'm forced to pickup my dribble or the defender just makes strong contact forcing me to stepback.

I am slowly (very slowly) getting the hang of the demo. I started using the Kinect commands and it has helped a bit. I will be the first to admit I am a complete 2K basketball rookie and have a steep learning curve to get through. I am trying to play as real to life as possible and not trying to just spam slam dunks the whole game. I just wish I was at least decent with the game right now but I just have to keep learning and try to improve as I go.

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

loving the demo this game is going to be much better than 2k12. I dont see the crazy nonsense that I see in 2k12. way less crazy in traffic dunks from people who cant even dunk in real life, loving the animations my favorite is when you see players get heated about the no foul calls.

Is it me or online it seems too easy for someone to spam moves with a star and get into the paint. How do I stop someone from just doing a bunch of spin moves to get into the paint??? Why dont they ever lose the ball when they doing all that nonsense???

Also the 3 pointers and the close range needs to be toned down but im sure it is suppose to be like that cause of the demo to show off the offense and will be tweaked soon after release.

I am really loving the way the players move they feel like they do have some weight to em....I will change the game speed tho because it's just a little to fast for my liking...But other than that I think anyone who likes 2k basketball will spend a lot of hours on this one just because of the gameplay alone.

The heat will be hard to beat this year if the CPU plays anything like the real players Bron is a beast and D Wade still has some mean skills.

What has worked for me so far against move spammers is to give them a little extra space. Often times they are using moves with no real plan or intention. if you push up on them or go for a steal, youre often going to leave yourself exposed. give them a little space. at some point if they want to drive, they have to come to you, (you can even shade them to funnel them towards traffic or your help defender), or they have to take a jumper off a crazy dribble move, which for most players reduces shooting percentage. just something to try.

I love the feel of this game, damnnnnnnnnn it' so good. 2K11 only better, oh boy did I miss that game.


Also, the AI has become smart for once. The moves they do/pull off, spotting wide open guys and immediately passing.

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

My only complaint is that their is not enough HARD FOULS! Players are getting to many easy layups and dunks. I hope their is a slider to adjust the cpu hard fouls.

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

I like the demo, I only have one complaint:

The fake pass. I'm on the ps3 so it seems the fake pass is associated with the same button as the pass button(x). I've had multiple instances where I've had wide open teammates and pass faked instead of just passed when I wanted to pass. Is the fake pass just tapping x lightly? Or am I accidentally holding R2 by accident causing the fake pass?

I haven't tried any games online but I suck at the demo as well...lol

[Sim_Head]

First i wanna say, i dont even play 2k12 anymore since this demo came out....now thats saying something!

I'm loving so many things about this game i dont even know where to begin! seriously.....

What i DONT like is all of these people online doing 3 million iso crossover, spin between the legs dribbles in one possession..i'm sittin' there on defense like "okay dude". ...thats the only problem i knew the dribble stick would present in this game. Other than that, i'm loving it.

For the PS3 users out there that dont harrass the controls and want to play a real game minus the and 1 streetball crap. HIT ME UP.

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

Somebody tell me why they put in the pass off the backboard to yourself alley in there? That is just gonna be cheesed to death online. It's so easy to pull off its ridiculous.

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

I played a good amount of games. Gameplay is really nice. I still haven't gotten an explanation as to why big men like perkins have the same running styles as guys like magic johnson, carmelo anthony. This was very noticeable in the live stream from last night. It's been like this since I can remember. I like to call it the "grandma running style" It's not really realistic, and I can understand using it for sluggish 7 footers, but for small forwards and guys like blake griffin? FIX IT! I'm sure it would be pretty easy considering in nba 2k11 some one was able to edit the running styles on PC.

Fake pass is done by double tapping the pass button.
