NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

For those who say it is too easy to iso into the paint - I feel like when I watch NBA games, anyone with good dribbling skills can get into the paint. Maybe that is just me, idk.

My problem isn't necessarily w/ the ease of ability to get to the paint, its with the lack of contact animations that occur in the paint/near the basket. I know 2K said they wanted to cut down on those animations with the new physics, but it just seems like too often guys are just not initiating contact to deter shots where it would occur in real life.

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

these new cotrols are driving me nuts - i can't get used to them for the life of me. my teammates don't box out for rebounds and if you miss a shot in the paint the cpu is unstoppable on the other end... same ish as last year i dunno what you guys are so thrilled about.

sorry... i need to think positive lol.

That's because this game has no real time physics at all. I just recorded a video of LBJ body going thru Tyson CHandler body and in the same play the ball warped to Carmelo hand.

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

Yea I have to agree with everyone else, these offensive rebounds that the cpu are getting are ridiculous. It seems that even when boxed out they some how get the rebound and that leads to an easy bucket. I hope someone can determine what adjustments to the sliders might help this, because it is very irritating. But other than that I am enjoying the game.

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

The game feels great, except for the ridiculous rebounding. I played as the Kings and Cousins and Thompson couldn't grab a defensive board to save their lives. I played as the Lakers and Dwight was getting beat by smaller guys on the boards.

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

Can't lie though besides those issues I named this is one of the 1st 2k's I've played this much in one day..definitely G.O.T.Y...I might be the odd one out But the dunk contest is fun to me it can be difficult thats what I like. I just wish the players weren't just standing there waiting there turn lol.

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

I love the game offline, but online is another story...everyone picks heat or lakers..sigh..

You're actually surprised by this dude?

Online will never change. It's not the game that's the issue - it's the players.

Anyhow, loving reading all the positive comments on here, can't wait to recieve my copy on Friday!!!

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

okay just played 3 full 10 minute games in association

for everybody having trouble with getting outrebounded, i suggest you turn up the over the back foul both for user and cpu, its in no way a perfect fix but alot of these super jumping offensive rebounders will get called for over the back I PROMISE, also i suggest u turn down the cpu 3pt shooting (way too many 3pt'ers busted in defenders face) and setting down the success on contested shots doesnt seem to work for it, u could also turn down their tendencies to take 3 pointers, it might make the computer take more appropriate 3pt shots, and everybody that is complaining about scoring% being way too high online...omg somebody just shoot me...because this is ridiculous...i played a guy who was a carmelo NUT and all he had to do was shoot the ball...went in 95% of the time...they need to fix that IMMEDIATELY!!!

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

it would make so much sense to have the option to play just a normal quick match online or a RANKED quick match where the sliders are set to simulation or something...(even though 2k's slider set for simulation is laughable) online is gonna be terrible this year if it stays this way

Exactly! And this is my problem. I dunno how people are saying GOTY when you got players coming into your paint and doing whatever they want and on top of that rebounding is just bad. If I can't play interior D OR rebound then I have major problems. I just had Mozgov (my friends team) kill Tim Duncan (me) down low because I couldn't box out, would inexplicably miss the rebound and then couldn't get contact on the put back. That frustrates me. I'm not down on the other things in the game but unfortunately (for me anyway) this is a MAJOR problem that I hope can be tuned a bit. If I could just find a way to get more contact down there...ugh.

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

Offensive rebounding is getting a little annoying. Had Joakim Noah super jump over D. Howard several times.

Also, the Shoot button (B) on xbox 360 seems to have a slight delay. It just seems a little off.

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

I'm not seeing the rebounding issue everyone is talking about, I'm grabbing board just fine so far. Only issue right now is the cpu sub patterns is a little off.

As for the 3pt contest, my first go around the controls felt kinda unresponsive but I think I figured it out now. You basically have to pick the ball up and press the shot button all in the same motion. Before I was grabbing the ball and waiting then hitting the shot button and that was slowing me down.

All Star/Sim is lovely

It doesn't fix the rebounding issue but it helps a lot, after 5 games I've out rebounded the CPU 4 times. It DEFINITELY needs to be patched though...like I've said multiple times, it's just a jumping contest.

Agree All Star/Sim is a good starting point
