Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread
Where do I start?
First off, the gameplay is AMAZING! So life-like and so fluid. The demo does not do the retail version any justice. The computer AI is so smart that it leaves me speechless at times. At one moment, I was the Bulls playing against the Nets, and Deron had succesfully run this pick and roll to perfection against me by hitting the roll man at the right time. When he tried to run it again, I was going to cheese and jump the play since I thought i knew he was going to hit Kris Humphries on the roll. So i played under the screen and Deron gathered as if he was about to pull up so i ran out to contest the shot. He jumped into a shooting motion and PASSED the ball in mid air to humphries underneath the goal who i had just left unattended. It was BEAUTIFUL!!
There is no way to cheese. Not one way. In fact, it almost seems like cheesers get penalized. Most flops either leave you playing 4 on 5 or with a blocking foul being called against the flopper. Hop step into the lane if you want to! You will lose the ball or badly miss the shot. Same goes for the spin dunk. No insane speed bursts by the defense on fast breaks. Reaching fouls are called so frequently that you almost just want to play D with just your feet. Over-dribble and the ball will get ripped.
As for controls, i know i stated that i hated them during the demo. But you guys were right. Once i went to training camp and thoroughly learned the controls, i shook my head at how easy everything really was as opposed to just wiggling the right stick. The shot stick makes so much sense now and i love it. I would recommend every to complete the training camp. you also unlock a pair of shoes upon completion.
Speaking of shoes, i know we all checked out the dev insight on the shoes. But i don't think it did any justice to how great the shoe creator really is. Sneakerheads went from pennies to hitting the jackpot with this feature. I've spent hours recreating my favorite shoes. Such a tease that i couldn't put them on my myplayer (since i didn't have a sponsor yet. So realistic)
MyCareer is amazing. You start out with nothing. No accessories, no good looking shoes (you start out with some ugly 2k brand shoes that would have the Shaqs looking like gold lol) The fact that you have to work for everything adds to the longevity. The only drawback to this mode is that the CAP feature is completely untouched. In fact, the player models in the whole game as a whole seem like they took a step down even though some players were completely upgraded.
I could go on and on about this game because it is that good. Definitely the best bball game ever made. Until you play, you just wont have an idea. Its such a different feel that it almost feels like a completely brand new game.
I've been in the dog house with my girlfriend for the last 2 days and i couldn't be any happier. Trying to stay in the dog house is my goal lol
