NBA 2K13: Demo Roundtable

Re: NBA 2K13: Demo Roundtable

Some things I noticed already

-Spin move and up and under moves are way overpowered...
-Self alleyoops need to be drastically toned down (I personally would even remove them from the entire game)
-Lack of contact when an offensive player is close/under the rim (maybe a slider thing?), combined with poor shot blocking/too slow contest animations for the defenders. Lead passes could be the cheesers' favorite weapon this year

Everything else feels GREAT, having a lot of fun with the demo

Im with you their, the defense gives up to many easy layups and dunks. Their needs to be more contact, more effort to block shots, or if they can't block shots put them on the line with a hard foul. I hope we can adjust this with sliders also. And hopefully some of this is due to the low skill level.

I noticed this too. It's a little strange because he's SO loud and he's SO frequent. Almost rhythmic.

Anyway, I've let a couple of games play out CPU vs. CPU, and it looks pretty arcade-like, lots of fastbreaks and lots of turnovers from bad passes. Not an abnormal amount, but a real-life preseason amount. I'm guessing the play style is set to 'Regular' and the difficulty is 'Pro'. The CPU's generally score around 8-11 per simulated quarter.

Noticed that too. It's like they have a crowd soundtrack for demos and a separate one for retail. Retail has that weird background fan(?) that goes MEEEEOOOOWW every once in awhile instead of the demo's WHOOHOOHOO. I got flashbacks from last year when I first ran the demo.

I think the demo is nice. I'll wait to grade the game after tuesday. I do have few concerns though. The rebounding seems kinda off. Even if you're in position for a defensive rebound, a lone offensive player will grab it in the mist of 3 defenders in position for it. Secondly I'm praying that the momentum bs that was in 12 is in 13. I would hope that the better player is rewarded vs a free bee handed to the less skillfull player. I guess we'll see whats up tues.

I don't like the fake ball pass. I try to pass it and it stays glued to the players hands. Pass the ball already!!!

This demo is a dunk fest all u have to do sprint down court n dunk on the defense help defense is pointless blocks are impossible. If u don't believe me use westbrook or lebron get passed the first defender n press the shoot button n watch the unstoppable. I hope this just happens in the demo
