Re: NBA 2k13 Official Impressions Thread

Playing All Star does it feel like the CPU is cheating? Are they winning fair?

Maybe they want to force other people to make plays

Not a bad tactic really

Re: NBA 2k13 Official Impressions Thread

I said this on the Q&A Thread and I'll say it again just for good luck...

Can you please post a Roster via USB here? I want to know if we can hex edit and correct colors like the Knick Blue, Clipper Red, Alternate White/Black Team Colors. I know i sound impatient to wait 4 days (but MY copy comes in about 10 days) but I feel that if can have a roster up to play around with, multiple rosters of GREAT quality hex edits from multiple of Users will be accessible to people on Oct. 2nd

On a team with Nash and Howard as "other people"?

I don't think so.

Idk, the rest of the Lakers starting 5 is pretty potent. It might work for a bit but not for long.

That's extremely specific man. If I just got the game there's no way I'd spend time checking up on that stuff.

Not to backseat moderate or anything, but let them play some games and give us retail gameplay impressions, that's all I want to see here!

I'm at halftime now. Still getting killed in the paint. Knicks have 54 points and 40 are in the paint. A combination of alley-oops (Kidd has thrown 3 already) and the CPU with alot of passes to the interior. I have adjusted my defensive coaching focus to be on locking down the paint but it hasnt seemed to do much so far. I'm going to make a concerted effort to play good defense and challenge more with the shot stick and see what happens in the second half.

I will say this, you definitely feel the difference between a good perimeter defender and a bad one. With Deng on Carmelo, i really feel like I can get in his body and force him to work for tough contested jumpers. With Belinelli on him a couple of times, I felt absolutely helpless.

CPU really plays through their stars. They were trying to feed Melo early and often. Also JR Smith came into the game and just jacked two 3 pointers from like 3 feet behind the line.

Thanks for responding homie. You don't have to do none of this, but you are showing love.

If you get a chance I would be interested in knowing what carlos boozer's fadeaway, jumphook, and hop shot post ratings are. As well as derrick roses crossover, and hesitation ratings. This is the first year with number ratings for those specialty moves, and i am trying to get a gauge on what is what.

So you are playing on all star simulation level?

I don't think so.

They are teaming kobe and Howard. Making nash the primary scorer is not a bad plan.

I feel like discussing basketball strategy in this thread would be inappropriate.

So we'll have to agree to disagree and leave that discussion for somewhere else.

Re: NBA 2k13 Official Impressions Thread

I think I might have to take back what I said about offensive rebounding. It still feels like the CPU gets too many, and this is mostly attributed to the user team not boxing out properly. There have been maybe 5 or 6 instances where the CPU came down with the offensive board when they simply had no place grabbing it.

To whoever asked about Rose's jumper, its perfect. Looks just like his shot now.

I was one of those people that was having lots of trouble adjusting to the new controls, and I still am, but they are becoming more intuitive. There are still a few too many times when I pull up for a jumper while attacking the rim and attempting to initate a layup however.

Re: NBA 2k13 Official Impressions Thread

How is the box itself? Made of plastic or they upgraded it to some hi-tech material? Is there a click when you close the box, or is it silent?

Come on! Go play the game, enjoy it, breath it. OS can wait.

Re: NBA 2k13 Official Impressions Thread

The box itself is just a normal xbox 360 case that snaps when it clicks.

I'm playing on All-Star, simulation sliders 12 min quarters and no adjustments to any sliders.

I'll say one thing, the CPU loves to pass it inside, and I feel like my defenders in general arent aware enough of their position relative to the guy their guarding when he's in the paint. Its too early to call it cheesy, but the CPU is constantly looking to pass it inside, whether it be by a lead type of pass or an oop attempt. Gotta play more games to see if this is a trend or just a one game anomaly due to my bad defense.

Since that initial play where Deng made a play on Brewer, I havent seen that much interior contact to be honest.

For whoever it was that was asking to upload a roster using a USB, I'm not sure how I would even go about that. I dont even have a flash stick I dont think.

Getting ready to play another game, preferably with two low/mid tier teams. Any suggestions on matchup?

Re: NBA 2k13 Official Impressions Thread

Should of posted things sooner, but I I've been crazy busy today...since then I've in practice mode trying to lab up with these controls. So far, I really like the presentation, the animations are crazy but the control stick is still just ok to me. I was pretty nice with the iso over the years, so I just gotta snap out of it and move over to the dark side. Intro vid is dope if you like Hov (alot)...I'm starting to actually play exhibition games now...
