      Very early impressions:

      As someone that wasn't a fan of the control stick in the demo, after fooling around in training camp/2K cam I can get used to it. The moves you can pull off and accessibility definitely seem pretty nice.

      My only negative so far is the insane Jay Z overload. Not that I'm a ha ter of him, I'm kinda indifferent on him TBH. But it's def a bit much for a basketball game to have so much of one guy that has nothing to do w/ b-ball. But hey, if it means Barkley and other gameplay improvements, I'm all for it.

        So mad!

        Just ran out to the midnight launch to pick up my XB and PC pre-orders. They have the XB version, but NOT the PC version (Rep: "We'll probably have it tomorrow, but no one plays games on PC's really, so we always get stuff late for it" even though two days ago he assured me they'd have both at midnight).

        So I take home the XB version... with no Xbox to play it on. My Xbox is in the shop until later this week. The "Xbox 360 Pros" in L.I. have had my Xbox for almost a month, don't know what's taking them so long, SMH.

        But yeah, as for impressions, the box is so fresh. Liking the cover art. Also, the screenshots on the back look crispy. Nice pic of Hov on there too. A+ so far.

        lol I guess I'll be enjoying you guys' impressions a lil bit longer.
        NOW PLAYING:
        NBA 2K16, MGS5

        WAITING FOR:
        Fallout 4

        Wife: "Of course he's going out to get his 2K game at 12am, like he can't wait til tomorrow."
        Wife's mom: "Be grateful that's what he's running out at midnight for."

          When editing a player's vitals, at the very bottom is an option called play initiator.

          It reads : Choose Whether the player can bring the ball up and call a play for the offense
          Ignorance of evidence is evidence of ignorance...

            Ok, guys practice and it'll click

            You don't have to force ankle breakers or crossovers...take your time and you'll see strike points w hen the defense is vulnerable and you can chew them alive

            Trust me..it happens fast ..nba pace fast but once you realize what I'm explaining it'll be like the matrix and you'll end up pounding your chest watch lol

            Take your time...pass the ball..check belubas tips...do training camp call plays, and watch how the sig skills come home to roost on both ends

              Alright so I just got the game, and I'm only 4 minutes into this first quarter of an online game but...


              the COLORS are terrible. I've never bitched about art before, but the blues are terrible. It's Knicks vs. Nets and the Barclays Center logo is ugly. The Knicks' uniforms are AWFUL. What the hell? For why?

                That said if you have any semblance of understanding of the game, online games will be weird for a while. I am blowing this guy out mainly because he doesn't understand the physics or the shooting.

                  as a Knick fan, this hurts me.

                    Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

                    The key to impressions is that they are just that, 1st impressions Wait till all the new toy stuff wears off then and only the will your true opinion matter.

                    I love the game so far but rebounding is horrendous, hopelufy that's the only glaring issue.

                    Just don't get your hopes up to much guys for your and 2Ks sake. If the game is great to its core it will be just that and will not wear off over time.

                    Just a thought.

                      I have to say huge shout out for 2K for making it so we can change the FRONT and BACK number colors in Create a Team. I hated having to have the same number colors for home and away jerseys. Such a tiny detail that means so much lol

                        I LOVE THIS GAME. THE NETS HAVE THEIR NEW JERSEY UNIFORMS IN THE GAME.

                        Cons:
                        Nets practice uniforms need to be updated
                        Bobcats aswell

                          Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

                          Alright so the game finished with about a minute leftt in the 3rd, Nets guy came back on me but never got closer than 5 (there was a long moment where it was 4-2, and then I went on a run to 11-2 and never looked back).

                          My main bullet points:

                          --- Yes, offensive rebounds are overpowered, but I always have felt that way, so I blame it on what shots I take (even though it's a lot of mid-range). People I play against just get offensive boards on me.

                          --- Colors are easy to get used to, but compared to 2K12 these blues are SO FAR OFF COLOR it's crazy. I can't even believe it. Again, I never comment on art because I really care more about the game, but damn...

                          --- Interior defense can really matter if your opponent isn't creative. I'm not sure how 2K12 played with good sliders against the CPU because the CPU annoyed me to no end for the first time in 2K12, but online having badass interior defenders is a major plus. They CROWD people, like triple teaming Gerald Wallace under the hoop crowd people. And for Knicks fans, no reason to worry about Camby's age since in this game, he's just THEE MARCUS CAMBY lol.

                          Anyway, I'm a mark for posting box scores on this forum so here's 3/4s of an online game played between two people that obviously were touching the sticks for the first time on this edition:

                          NETS
                          Williams - 9pts, 5ast, 3/7 (3/6)
                          Wallace - 8pts, 1rb, 1stl, 4/11 (0/3)
                          Hump - 7pts, 3rb, 2ast, 1stl, 3/4

                          KNICKS
                          Anthony - 18pts, 2rb, 1ast, 8/13 (1/2)
                          Shump - 7, 1, 1, 2/2 (1/1)
                          Smith - 7, 4, 1, 3/5 (1/1)
                          Novak - 6, 2, 2/4 (2/3)
                          Kidd - 3, 2ast, (1/2)

                          TEAMS (Nets/Knicks)
                          36/50
                          47%/66%
                          27%/66%
                          7 dunks / 1 dunk (this is a really cool stat to add IMO)
                          4 break pts / 5
                          24 PITP / 18
                          4 2nd / 6
                          6 bench / 16
                          10 assists / 11
                          4 ORB / 2
                          7 DRB / 12
                          3 stl / 0
                          0 block / 3
                          5 fouls / 1
                          biggest lead: 0 / 11 (another awesome stat)


                          as you can see, I pretty much crushed him on all relevant categories, and it was mainly because I was working the ball around and running plays. His assists came off dishes to guys under the basket that triggered dunks. That said, I won 50 to 36 for a reason. Obviously once people get a handle on the game and start going wild with the Heat, Lakers and Thunder it'll be a different ball game, but for now I like what the game offers. The cheesers can only get better, but so can the sim heads.

                              They dropped it, so I copped it. I Hit gamestop for midnight release and felt like a crackhead on The Wire lining up on the brick wall waiting for my fix. Got the game home and popped it in. Intro was nice.
                              Hit the practice court, still not feeling the control stick. I was rather nice with the sticks in 2k11 and 12 now it just feels wrong. 2k11 and 2k12 I felt like I had real control of dribble moves and shot selection. Now it seem like I have control for a second and then the player is doing is own thing the next.
                              Sidenote: I for the life of me cannot find where you create a profile in the game.
                              So after practice I take my Nets on the court against the Wolves. Brooklyn intro was sick!!!! Set it to all-star and quickly find out that the CPU aint no punk this year. from tip to finish they had me by at least 4pt and at most 14pts.
                              No more inbound steal cheese to catch up either. I did not feel cheated by the CPU unlike previous years. They just played better.
                              Wont comment to much on the gameplay, I have to play more before that. But the presentation was nice. I really like that they have at least 3 different styles of replays. The 2k, sprite and nike+ replays. The nike one is sick!!!
                              Got to get some sleep. Will see tommorow if I can warm up to the control stick.
                              One thing I did not like is the fact that they took out( or I could not find) the sig. highlight. That and the game tracker did not have any of the plays from the first quarter at the end of the game.

                                Game is incredible! The small pg's are a problem this year! Blurs! That's a good thing. Just played online, lag free. I can't wait for the weekend to delve into this game!
