    Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

    one Minor Complaint.

    Played against a friend who was using the knicks and he basically had a track meet against me with shumpert and smith. Everytime I tried to cut him off I would slide back and he'd have a dunk. Hopefully this will be patched

      I've released my shot in what looks like a nice and smooth release, only for it to be 'early' and the actual shot release they want looks off..a little glitch in the release... a bit.
      yeah, what the game considers to be the "correct" shot release is actually way too late. it feels like you almost have to release the ball on your way down in order to get a "green release".

        2k removed sliders for private matches was a bad idea. Game styles dont give desired results like user determined sliders. Big men provide no help defense, inside scoring and midrange shots way to easy, ice skating on defense yet again,delayed jumping while trying to contest shots,cant stop certain layup/dunk animations because cant cause contact,all of these obvious flaws should have been fixed before game released! Hope these are patched

          Hello, I just want to vent my feelings here.

          I... just ... love ... this game!

          I haven't been this excited with NBA since NBA on Showtime in the 90s LOL. Everything about nba2k13 is just amazing. I can't believe how much fun I am having in MyCareer, Yes I am benchwarming, yes I am terrible at times so I spend more time looking from the courtside but the ambiance and surroundings and the commentary and the animations and the sound effects and the improved crowd and well, I can go on and on! It just makes me feel like I wish there were more reviews for this terrific game!

          Sometimes I will even put the controller aside and watch games play by themselves full 12 minutes simulation right before I go to sleep because its THAT good! I haven't done that since NBA Live 95' LOL ^_^

          I think I am addicted because just the other day I spent at least 8 hours in MyCareer and I didnt even realize I wasted my whole morning and early afternoon until I was starving...

          Anyways, even if I spend most of my time learning the control stick moves, there's still so many more to do and learn and figure out from all the upgrade -able stats and sheesh it's like being happy from my childhood again! What a great game! I guess there aren't enough words to express how much 2k13 is to me. I think it's the greatest!

          Hehe well that is what I wanted to say... ~Cheers.

              Not happy with MyPlayer atm...

              First, I'm a scoring PG and they decided to play me at PF for about 4 minutes of my game against the Blazers where I had to defend LaMarcus Aldridge!!! Obviously they went to him every time, and he scored on me like 4 times in a row and I lost a whole teamate grade rating! I tried to call a timeout to get subbed out and they left me in!

              I said last year that we need a "request substitution" option for MyPlayer, and this is definite proof that we do.

              Also, I gave an answer in the press conference 2 games in a row that looked sensible on the surface and then when he went through his speech he turned a 180 in what he was saying and I ended up earning negative teammate/fan ratings!

              It's like someone asked me "what do you think of the team" and the option said "i love this team" but then when i selected it he says "yeah, i love this team man, but its a shame its run by a bunch of ***holes"!!! He just went a complete 180 and it screwed me over!!!

              Also, I earned 3VC 2 games ago! 3vc for a whole game, where i only got to play like 5 minutes. And last game I scored 20VC. This mode is getting annoying quick lol...

                Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

                so far the game is ok. this title hasnt grwon on me as quickly as the past versions. it could eb becasue Im still trying to figure out the new features.
                here are some qucik impressions from quick games.

                -I like the combo dribble stick and shot stick its very fluid.
                -I like the new presentation package
                -game play is solid but Im still getting used to.
                -Bounce pass is nice
                -AI is solid

                negatives so far
                -rebounding looks awkward as usual, had to lower vertcial sliders to 0 to remedy this. now rebounding feels and looks mroe natural.
                -I dont like that little fake pass that is done way to often especially when Im trying to pass the ball. Let me pass the ball if I want to pass the ball. I dont know if this is settings fetaure or a control feature that Im using wrong.
                -AI temas dont run enough offensive sets, its mostly run and gun. I think its something Im doing run. Cause the AI in this years version really explots break downs in defense,a dn that includes transitiond efense. so practive may remedy this, not sure.
                -the signature shots. are they in the game this year. alot fo the shots using the shot stick look and feel the same, except for the elite players. last yera their seemed to be more variety. Im tryingt o figure out if they just toned the animations down.
                -responsiveness is a bit laggy.
                - the players have weight, but their seems to be a sluggishness in player movement

                  I've been bricking everything because of this. I don't actually play with the release indicator, but this needs to be fixed. Where I am actually releasing the form looks fantastic, but where they 'want' it to be released, is weird.

                      Played another game with default sliders. Knicks vs Nets. Game was close. 102-96 for Nets(using 10 min quarters). The amount of shots were good, but I didn't like how both teams had over 50%FG shooting

                      Free throws for both teams seemed way too easy. Knicks were 7/7, I was 13/14.

                      1 thing I really didn't like...Carmelo with 38 points(28FG attempts,2nd highest was Smith with 19,then the other highest was 8 attempts...). Seemed like he always got the ball.

                      Have you ever watched the Knicks play or checked the boxscore after one of their games?

                        yeah, but what other way is there to control it? i love that the hop step button is back, so i don't want to give that up. it's great for doing drifting jumpers, and works more reliably for hopsteps. maybe they should just get rid of fake pass if it's too much of an annoyance...or better yet - they could just offer the ability to turn off the double-tap function in the options.

                            Just go the game today and played about three and a half Q's of a QP game before I had to go out. I have to say I think this is the best 2k yet the animations are brilliant, theres still some cheesy stuff but not nearly enough as last year.In my game I was Brooklyn against New York and Melo played like Melo he didnt disappear as he would in past titles he had the scoring threat just as he has in real life and he led the game in points. So far from what ive played I would give it a 9/10 and Im waiting for some rosters to start a MP and Association.

                              I am having a blast with the game. i was 4-0 with the Spurs and winning by 5-10 a game. The computer was competitive, but I noticed some things on the default settings:

                              Too many offensive rebound by the CPU.
                              Shooting percentages were too high for both teams.
                              Not enough fouls were getting called.

                              So out of the box the game is fun and you can score and it feels good to play defense.
                              Funny thing is when you go into settings. Basically when you change it from Default to Simulation, nearly all of these things are corrected. I am not a big "sliders guy" mostly because I think that every game is different and plays out differently. That being said, I looked at the sliders to see what changed and it as all of these things except for the rebounding which you can sort of change yourself with the sliders. They move most of the shooting sliders down and up the contact so more fouls were called.

                              I think this is all more of a gameplay thing because I think that they want the game to be accessible out of the box. Once you change to simulation, the game plays different. I still love it, but then I got thumped. The Clippers went "Lob City" on me. It was pretty embarrassing, but I must adjust
