Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

Can anyone confirm that they still have the post game photo book and the highlight package at the end? Player sig skills videos too?

Edit:

I mean the:

Jordan brand player of the game highlights
Pressbook
Signature Highlights
game reel

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

After being addicted to this game like it's sugar, which, admittedly, I am horribly addicted to but have come a loooong way in beating (sup with these damn Dubble Bubbles, tho???), I can't say enough about how GREAT the overall game is. Sick ish in here but I have to admit, I really didn't play much of 2K11 or 12 and that's mainly cuz I never liked isomotion then grew to all out hate it. Just never felt "natural" and intuitive.

I did play a great deal of one of the previous years versions which I forget which one it was because I know I skipped a couple separate years. I say this because I don't know all the lil things that were there before good, bad, and ugly and I'm going to dig into some of the things I like and dislike in this demo. But, I do know IT IS JUST A DEMOOOOOO....

Likes:

- ANALOG DRIBBLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but this is more of a LOVE than a like. THIS, single-handedly, has shook up the game for me and THIS is what has me so addicted to the game, now, where I am obsessed with the game and actually have a hard time putting it down once I start playing. I could NEVER say that about ANY previous NBA2K, point blank. This is the engine that makes the car run for me, PERIOD, end of that story.

- Animations. Never ceases to amaze me what 2K can do with these but WOW! I even drove to the hole with Wade, got the hoop and the harm that caused Wade to hit the deck and he got up and limped a bit to the foul line -WTF!!!!!!!???? AMAZING!! A lil tear started to well up when I seen that. Wow, just wow.

- Player chatter/grumbling - Wow, the lip service in this game is unbelievable. Westbrook got called for one particular foul and he would NOT stop jacking his jaw about it even after initially barking toward the ref while I went to the line to shoot a pair. The grunts, yelling and reactions to plays is AMAZING!! Overall. Even seen Spoelstra yelling at a ref from his seat after one call, with head tracking and all dat. BEAUTIFUL!! What so great about it all too, is that it's randomly done. Not a constant repetition of the same things. I can't say enough about that.

- New (real time) physics- Love the banging and physical contact. Wooo! Nice stuff.

- DEFENSE!! Had to get used to guarding folks again but now that I have -WHOA!!

- FAST BREAK!! Feels like there is finally a true break through with fast breaks now. Lebron and Wade get out QUICK and the overall flow of the break is pretty wonderful.

That's the short of that. Tryna keep it brief - OH, the demo actually looks "shiny" on the PS3, for once!!! Lol. Previous years demos have looked "ashy" or lacked luster. I wonder if it gets even better looking in the retail version.

Dislikes:

- CROWD NOISE!!!! C'MON, 2K!!!! Get that ish together. Lol. The crowd does NOT react properly to plays. Many a time, they sound like they're just chattering when a big play happens, even for the home team. The immersion gets a bit disconnected because of this. This has ALWAYS been a prob even when they had claimed to improve it years ago. Whatever the Live team has done for their game crowd noise, go get that ish. They don't need it no-mo'. Heh.

- Steal/jump button lag - Nothing more to say about that. It's a problem sometimes.

- Double team button - IT NO WORK!!

- Uhh, that's all the dislikes, that I remember, that I really have with this demo. I could talk about some of the player/crowd faces, "coach neck" and crowd animations but that's whatever. I think this is as good as it's gunna get with this gen. Can't complain about that, really. Next gen should be a beast especially with crowds actually head tracking gameplay.


Again, 2K, thanks. This is looking GREAT. Can't wait til Tuesday to see if some things were fixed/improved.

Didn't realize this was the.retail impressions thread. Pasted it over to the demo impressions thread...but will keep this here, anywayz. Lol.

Rebounding is terrible. Hope they tune it for the full game.

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.

Wouldn't be surprised if they did. I noticed, at least in the demo, how they changed the screen that shows who was being subbed in/out on both screens - Stripped down. Unfortunately at this point of current gen, they can't keep everything in these games when introducing new and improved things. Next gen is round da corner, my friend, so u KNOW there will be no need for removal for features as things are added...at least early on. Lol. Just enjoy what's there.

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

Respectfully all these dam questions are killing the impressions thread. 3 pages(40 per page for me) and most of them are questions or conjecture LOL

Yeah this thread really needs to be deleted and started over. I'm actually shocked that it has gone on this long...maybe the MOD is practicing his ISO moves and the new shot stick?

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

Crowd Reactions and Atmosphere needs to be fixed...we complain about this every year 2k!
