3pt contest is awkward. Pressing LT and then X? Sometimes you'll be pressing X and your player won't do ANYTHING..

Press LT and the shot stick (or X) at the same time, not LT, then X

If you misuse the bounce pass, it will get stripped. I tried being reckless with it to see how much I can use it, and I learned quickly that you can't just abuse it.

Have to use it in realistic situations. I've had many a nice bounce pass to a lead player that the CPU couldn't get their hands on.

Agreed. I think ppl just need to understand basketball as well as how it applies to this game AND the levels they are playing on then adjusting accordingly. I have progressed to All Star after starting off on Pro adjusting sliders to increase the challenge and steadily applying my bball knowledge to the actual gameplay and controls. BEASTING!! and THAT'S with my Nets!!!

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

Just got the All Star package -- the 3 point contest is horrible -- laggy controls and terrible looking players -- I actually had to check to see if my HDMI cable was in after looking at that.

I'm normally very positive when it comes to 2k but that is just....

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

Is it just me, but for being the 5th best team overall last season, the Pacers seem like they were "overlooked" in NBA 2K13. They only have one player in the 80's and not a lot of assigned signature skills. The Pacers would have probably been one of the better teams to use this sesason, but the implemented SS abilities negated a LOT of their strengths even over bench players.

My biggest beef is with Roy Hibbert though. Although he's rated properly, he doesn't play like he should in the game. In the game, he's a VERY PASSIVE center...I have played some games where he pulled down only ONE rebound for the entire game, yet he's 7'2". I have played some games where it seems he doesn't contest shots like he should, although I have opponents who CONSTANTLY drive into the lane. Honestly, I REALLY hope they make some changes to his ratings with the next update, so he plays like he should. Right now, he's just taking up space on the floor, and my opponents are not scared to drive into the paint against him.

End rant.

It's not laggy, I'll repost what I posted above to a similar complaint,

You'll begin to see there is a rhythm..

Not sure why that is, as I found Pacers to be a major annoyance in a quick ranked game I just played. I was the Celtics and Hibbert was just getting so many offensive rebounds, I had to put Milicic on him, but it was too late in the end. Also, I was getting rushed in the paint constantly. Seems like it's a bad idea to manually control a center or PF when your opponent lead passes into the paint. Offensive rebounding is far less realistic than in MyTeam.

Sutton, this is like your 4th time posting that bro, lol

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

Just played my first two games online
so first game Raptors(me) vs Chicago
63-58 Drose has 35 points off just spin move in the paint every single time even after running 2-3 same thing over 3 people and convert a solid 70% of the time. He would have people open under the basket for a lay-up and would still just pound the rock then drive and spin

He only made 2 mid range jumpers the entire game which were of course spin jumpers from Rose

and was 3 of like 17 from 3 (all were terrible contested 3's minus like 2 of them he made)

Guy played no D I either got a lay-up or a wide open jumpshot every time just walking the ball up the court.

For some reason if you get a perfect release your more likely to miss I had make sure I was releasing early to start knocking down jumpers

My team wouldn't foul at the end of the game when Noah had the ball which resulted in a perfect on point football pass over Derozan for a Carlos Boozer dunk

My second game GSW (me) vs Knicks
17 for 29 from 3
Carmelo drop 28
Amare has 9 offensive rebounds
Tyson Chandler is now Dikembe Mutumbo (5 blocks)

Guy had 15 offensive rebounds, Amare was grabbing every miss which led to a kick out to a 3, I don't think he had any points with Amare even though he had wide open dunks, Carmelo has hitting everything mid range, contested mid range, fading 30 footers you name it he was hitting it

Once again guy played no defense constantly had guys open but once again the whole have to release before perfect releases messed me up so missed a ton of jumpers

tl;dr: Online for me is a 3 point contest with no defense and a ton of offensive rebounds

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

The game seems it has too many issues, here are mine. There is too much pre-determined cheesing in sim mode for my career games, If im playing a team and the ai is determined the game should be close know matter how im doing, the ai will play on god mode, while my whole team goes ice cold, I cant hit a shot in the 4th qtr for some reason, my player is always gassed in 4th, no play vision, I get picked by own players, moving pick is never called, animations sometimes wont allow me to shoot??? Ill be open on an outlet break and I call for pass and he wont pass (on court coach equipped), i cant crack the starting lineup while leading the league in scoring after about 30 games (started once, scored 44) went back to bench. Im on the celtics as a pg but ill play sg to start if it would allow it.

My big men seem to think position for reb is behind the opposition, fouls are overly called for contact in paint for computer, but rarely called for me, it just seems like NBA Jam, too arcade-like, where if they feel like the game should be close, no matter what you do they will keep it that way, Thats not the true definition of sim mode to me. I'll accept having a bad game, but too many instances occur where it seems it doesnt matter how i play. I hope a patch is released soon, because I do like many things about the game, but right now it s several broken issues are constant major annoyances.

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

I love the fact that you can't just alley-oop with ease anymore online. If the receiver isn't wide open or if you're using a big man or a player with low pass ratings, the ball will just fly into the stands.

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

Gonna leave MyCareer alone until a patch is confirmed to fix the CPU OFF REB issue. It just slowly, little by little, kills the enjoyment seeing Jarrett Jack boxed out by two defenders only to snag the board with an *instant* 50' turbo vertical.

But in most other modes, sliders can be adjusted, and with some appropriate tweaks, this game nears perfection. Nothing is sweeter than catching a mismatch off a screen w/a C on your DRose or DWill. They have 0 chance at staying in front of you.

Yeah the 3PT contest/ASW stuff just screams "half-baked" to me. It could really benefit from a steady high frame rate for one. They shoulda just copied Live 05's version of this mode, it was awesome.

Still loving what Hov did here. As a fan it gets no sweeter. That Nas "World Is Yours" intro where the ball is a globe is so ill. Rakim.... I'm in heaven.

I actually found the groove but if I miss it by a millisecond my player will stand there frozen for a second. But even with the groove the shot isn't as smooth as it is in game. Release points change (or just look different)

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

I really LOVE the new trade logic in Association, it feels nice knowing that a future playoff team's 1st round pick isn't worth the same as the Bobcats's pick

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

Has anyone else had a problem with 3 seconds call in the paint as soon as u get there. 2k has a lot of glitches and bugs to fix in this one

[BigAsianLlama]

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

Is anyone getting the rotation glitch? I go from being a starter to a sixth man no matter how well I play. It's really frustrating after you drop 30 pts and 17 asissts. I tried whining about it to my GM but that did nothing.
