Re: NBA 2k13 Official Impressions Thread

Offensive rebounds are ridiculous!

Re: NBA 2k13 Official Impressions Thread

As of right now I would give this game a perfect 10, so hear me out. The defensive rebounding is bad, very bad. In an online game just now there was 22 offensive rebounds amongst both teams. I mean, defensive rebounders dont box out or go towards the area the ball is coming down at. I cant believe how many rebounds hit the floor before being got. Is anybody else experiencing this?

Re: NBA 2k13 Official Impressions Thread

Game is super smooth, the defensive rebounding has to be addressed by sliders/tuning and I'd recommend manual subs because your coach could care less. If you don't watch your players and call timeouts accordingly...you're done. Every player has their own identity more than ever this year. Speed, size and strength mean a hell of a lot in every possession. You can explode off of the triple threat with speedy guards and beat people off of the first step. You can also bully people in the paint with strong slashers and crafty big men.

The control stick has grown on me. The setups and isolation moves are endless and realistic. I've only made one guy fall so far in 6 exhibition games and that was off of a lightning quick step back after an explosive first step. Looked authentic.

The sig. skills real really come into play with your matchups. Of course people will use cheeser teams at first, but the sig skills give a lot of other teams a shot to compete and that's all we can ask for. Nuggets, Knicks, Nets, Pacers, Grizz, Warriors, etc. are all competitive against the best teams in the game.

AI will attack your defense often. They know where you're weak and they will expose you if you don't strategize. OKC vs. LAL, Russell kept going at Nash until I put the double/switch on him. When I changed my lineup then KD began picking on MWP. The game has definitely improved on all levels.

I'm a huge Jay-Z fan, but most of you guys are gonna skip these music video intros. A little too much MTV and it gets redundant QUICK. Soundtrack is cool, but it's limited. Regardless, a little tuning is needed, but this is one hell of a game.

Gonna try and rest now.

Guys - if you don't have the game you shouldn't be posting in this thread.

Re: NBA 2k13 Official Impressions Thread

Ok i played the game all morning and i can say that off. rebounding is just bad. Even CPU vs. CPU is ridiculus.

Overall the game is great. I played OKC vs. Lakers and he thing i noticed was that teams shoot too high of a FG%.

The right stick dribble is deadly. Once you get the timing right you can go to the paint as much as you can.

I killed OKC with Nash and Kobe.

Sometimes I get the feeling the shot clock cheese is back…

Offensive rebounds in my first game seemed to be a problem but this morning using the lakers vs the clippers i totally dominated on the offensive boards.

I really don't think there it's an issue as of yet. Gotta get more games in. At work for the next 5-7 hours or so

Sorry if i shouldn't be posting this here. Delete if need be.........

Flight, or anyone else that has the game, can you check custom arena music for us. We want to get the music together so everyone can d/l, and put their playlist together, so that by the time the game comes out all everyone has to do is enter it into the game. But we need to know what are the options that you can choose to put the playlist in?

For example; Home up, Timeout, POTG, Chant defense, etc. What are all the options we can choose.

Also, if anyone doesn't mind, if you have any music on your system, can you plug into one of the options and listen for it in a game? Last year there was a problem with the all the music cutting off during the game while using custom music.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can test this out. For anyone that has used custom music in the past, they know that this adds so much immersion to the game.

Re: NBA 2k13 Official Impressions Thread

Dont think I will be getting much (read: any) sleep tonight. This game is good. Very damn good. 2k fans are in for a real treat. Right out of the box, it plays a very complete game of ball on all-star, simulation. Stats look spot on. The only thing that I've noticed after two games that definitely need to be tweaked are fouls. Not seeing enough. in the two games Ive played, neither side has had more than 15 fouls. This last game I only allowed 7 offensive boards, so I wont even say that that needs adjusting yet.

Some notes on the last game I played, Blazers (CPU) @ Suns (me).

-Goran Dragic is very fun to play with. His craftiness in real-life comes through in this game as well, he's a slick ball handler and can weave his way to the cup to score. You can tell hes not the best athlete out there, but he is very skilled.

-The double high-screen is so fun to execute. You can really see which way the defense is leaning and attacking with the control stick off the side the defense is weakest on is nice. Once you get the hang of the controls, you are going to feel like you have a ton of moves at your disposal to pick apart the D.

-Plays in general still have the same 2k feel you are used to, but like everything else in this game, they are soooo much smoother to run this year. There are a lot of subtle contact animations occuring on the court at all times and they really help plays seem more organic and functional.

-Havent seen any shot clock cheese through 2 games

-Fatigue seems to be well done.

-When you body up the offensive player and crowd him with a stronger player, you can feel it. I really think thats the theme of what I'm seeing so far with my playtime, you can "feel" the weight and physics of the players for the most part, particularly on the perimeter. Positioning, angles and momentum play more of a factor than ever before if you want to be successful on either side of the ball.



I think I'm going to mess around with association or my player for a bit. I'm also thinking about live streaming, if enough people are interested. Just have to figure out the best way to do it as I'm not that savvy when it comes to that type of stuff.

im very interested in a association live stream

Getting the arena sounds right would be dope. The game needs a lot more music/sounds in it during the game.

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

Could someone post a picture of the wizards court, I want to see if it's untouched from last year aka completely wrong color scheme. And is the Suns court updated to this:

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

I must be blind, because it seems like they took out signature highlights for every player that played during the post game menu.
