    Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

    Unplayable is extreme.

    Every game with draft classes has followed this logic.

    I see what you're saying but it really isn't a deal breaker.

      If 2K can fix the offensive Rebounds and few other small things.. (through a patch hopefully) then we have best basketball/sport simulation game EVER !

        Finally played a game of 2k13. To me 2k12 is better. My issue is the sound of the arena's, they don't sound anything like a NBA game. The net barely makes a swish sound, the crowd doesn't react on made baskets at home, and the commentary is stale. It feels like I'm playing in a half filled arena, and that Zapps all the fun out of the game for me.

          The greatest compliment I can give NBA 2K13 is it's gotten me back into gaming. The instant I played my first game I was hooked. The realism and fun factor is through the rough and this is coming from a harsh critic who bought 2K12 and played all but a handful of games and thought the gameplay was lacking something. I haven't felt this instant gratification since NFL 2K5! NBA 2K13 is truly a masterpiece and should be enjoyed by all. This game will be the one that truly etches the series in the upper echelon of not just sports games but videogames period!

            Finally somebody recognizes this! I was just complaining about this very same thing. The crowd is aweful and barely reacts to baskets of importance during an intence game. Hit a big 3 to gain the lead in a comeback and.............*crickets*

              Yeah for some people atmophere plays a pretty big roll in fun factor. Live 10 win in this area still, and that's a shame.

                    Sure, EA makes one heck of a crowd reaction simulation....

                      What platform?

                      360/PS3 I've never experienced any of these issues.. crowd is BOOMING, atmosphere is huge, sfx and on court chatter are very present.. crowd varies from quiet when getting blown out to explosive at exciting times.

                      Live 10 crowd doesn't sound good - it's almost the same sound the entire game and they have about 1% of the arena specific music and arena specific sound effects that 2K does.. the only thing good in it was Staples Center stuff. Overrated.

                      Also there's no game with better commentary.. period..

                      The sound quality could be better though, it's probably highly compressed to fit on a disc unfortunately.

                        I think I am going to remove some of the signature skills, they're just too much - until 2K patches it and tone it down.

                        Has anyone played the game without (or with far less) signature skills?

                          The thing i love about this game the most is that every team is different. Usually I have a favorite team and stick to playing with just them, but in this game I find myself constantly playing with other teams because they all feel and play so different. I cannot stand playing the heat in this game for the same reasons I can't stand them in real life. They're too damn good!

                            Yea I agree. I wish we could take them off players but we can't, we can only change them. I think the posteriezer one is complete cheese.

                              I like the game . Hype up my career which eventually gets boring then make a cool game with 100 flaws. I'm into an online association of a friends. Its on superstar nd its basically the same thing as last year, make the CPU mistake free, and make sure they do just enough to win. Not just this is making the game not fun, I'm getting out offensive rebounded 15to 3 EVERY GAME. If I have a chance for a buzzer beater the CPU makes it impossible OJ Mayo just stole the ball about 5 feet away from me right before an easy game winning shot. And you can't bloçk dunks unless ur the CPU.. I'm talking missing layups down by 1 that people never miss.. go ahead try it yourself..

                                I've played about 100 games, the majority in MC, so keep that in mind but...

                                I'm starting to not like sig skills, it make players with them play a little too good and it makes players without them unable to make elementary plays far too often.

                                If a player doesn't have the finisher sig skill they are way too likely to miss a contact layup or dunk with even the slightest of contact.

                                I'm also not liking some of the animations, they trigger far too often, they seem like the rule rather than the exception. Double clutches on layups, spin jumpers, leaning jumpers when they are not necessary.

                                The suction is still heavy in the game, teammate ai is still idiotic, defense is lacking, floor spacing is huge problem. On defense too often teammates try to force their way between you and your defensive assignment and if you try to switch and let them guard your man they won't. On offense if you get the ball as a non pg if you don't immediately shoot the pg will follow you around the court trying to get the ball back, players set unnecessary screen, crowd the lane on isos and clear out, instead of clearing out or allowing you to iso they will come to you causing a double team.
                                Say "No" to railroaded MC modes.
