Heck Yeah Buddy...!!!!1

LOL got my copy at 3 am this morning..LOL wife forgot to wake me up at midnight...lol

Well let me tell ya, I am so glad that we all get to judge the game for ourselves. Listening to some of the stuff year after year on this forum and you would think this game is crap....well let me tell ya NO Sirrrrr!!

The training camp is bananas with the moves you have at your disposal, can't wait to see what we are able to unlock..lol The fluidity of the moves and contact are off the chain..for real...and the pace of the game seems fine to me, I wiil admit when I first played the demo I was not for sure if I would like the new controls but after getting in some training camp, practice time and a game. controls will be the least of my worries...!

The DEMO is not the game at all..!!!! I want to just shout to the top of my lungs that this game is awesome!!!! ( I know I'm trippin..lol) But I can't help it, just from one game this morning I saw three things that make me know that I will be playin this game every freaken day!!

1. Bosh goes in for a layup and as he finishes the shot he looks up underneath the hoop to see if it went in and still as he's conitnuing to go away from the basket his head is still tracking the shot...till he sees that it went in...(just stupid....crazy stuff..lol)

2. I was playing heat against lakers and dwight puts down a hard slam on battier and after the dunk they walk up on each other like something is about to jump off, all the while jawin at each other back and forth, they walk away for a moment then come back at each other sayin something else while dwight goes to the free throw line...wow

3. Ray allen is guarding the out of bounds line and the whole time he is checking back and forth on both sids to see if some one is coming to pick him or something like that, he even turns all the way to the right to make sure nobody is coming up to get the in bounds pass...crazy...stuff..!!

People are gonna nit pick till their hearts content but for those who don't have the game yet..GET IT!!! I already know just from these few impressions I saw that this game is riduclous...!!! Game on baby !!!!

Points in the paint is sort of an issue. I can score at will in the paint with any decent PF or C. That's really the only negative I can see so far. As for the positives, I love the new slower speed, the animations are very fluid, and the star player play exactly like they do in real life.

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

If I had to complain about anything is there is some serious lag between the menus specifically when you click play now.

Here is my quick impression of this game after roughly 4 hours of gameplay:

Hell YES!!!


That is all

Impression - Not impressed...


Defense seems much better this year but the goofy offensive controls are horrible....

everything is so awkward feeling just like Live was....and before someone says u need to practice" I canactually score just fine i just hate the feel of it...


and for anyone wondering 2k12 controls are NOT in the game just and option to switch the sot isomotion to primary and secondary

Thanks for clearing that up eric.

I don't have the game yet (still at work) but there isn't a true "2k12" control scheme. Only the option to switch the shot/dribble stick ?

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

Ok, the game is awesome, but can anyone explain this to me?

It's completely unacceptable. If these are the physics 2k was talking about, man...

I noticed plenty of clipping while driving to the basket too... Seems like the physics only kick in when the contact is made on the air jumping for a rebound. The rest is just animations (really beautiful animations, though)

Oh, and I hate what they did in terms of shoes... I like having all these sneakers, but we need home and away shoes!!!

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

That has happened to me at least 5x also. On-ball defense and ball handling sliders should fix this though.

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

It definetly feels like 2k12 with a new control layout. It is very awkward but im sure it just takes a little time to get used to. And Gallo is a 71? For arguably being the nuggets best player? What?

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

There appears to be no "Turbo" camera in team up. It's the angle I prefer when playing player lock or my player

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

Playing the demo a bit more made me realize that I should buy this game. I'm glad I did...so far.

Played only one Pro (because I suck at this game) exhibition 12-minute quarter game. Celtics vs. Bulls.

Really enjoyed seeing the Bulls run plays I'm familiar seeing on television. As a guy who doesn't watch a bunch of Bulls games, I can't say for sure every play is in or that it's completely accurate, but I know that I saw plays I see the team run.

Same for the Celtics.

A couple of things that jumped out at me:

1. No point guard quick pass scores. Not sure how to explain this but it was incredibly frustrating (not to mention non-SIM) when the CPU PG would make a pass and the shooter - no matter their position - would suddenly shoot it and score. It always resulted in PGs picking up too many assists and it was impossible to defend.

I didn't see this at the Pro level. I used to see it at Pro and above in previous 2K games.

2. The 3rd Quarter felt like another quarter. This is really important. 2K for the past few years always made the 3rd Qtr feel vastly different from the others. The CPU always seemed to jump out at you and play at a level above the other quarters. No matter what I did, I always either lost a large lead or fell behind by large sums.

I didn't see that in my one game. In fact, I actually turned a three-point deficit into a one-point deficit. That was a rarity in 2K11-12.

Most importantly, I never felt incredibly stressed until the final minutes of the 4th Quarter where I started to blow any chance of winning the game. But, it never felt as if the CPU was "cheating." I can accept losses when I see the team just work harder and play better.

So far so good with this game. Impressed.

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

Played my first game as I blew out the Magic with the Bobcats by 20 points. Michael Kidd Gilchrist is amazingly fast.
