Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

I honestly love this game. It kind of revolutionized gameplay in a similar way that 2K11 did. 2K12 was great but nothing game-changing. 2K13 IMO is pretty game-changing.

I agree. But the bumping in 11 was a huge turn off. But this game has nothing I don't like. I even drove through 2 defenders with Kobe a couple hours ago. I could've never done that with all the bumping in 2K11. And it looked and felt completely real. He just wiggled his way through and slammed it. And the fast breaks are great, too. At first, I thought it was still broken. But once I realized how to do it properly, they are perfect. And really fun to pull off. The addition of the bounce pass really helps in that area as well.




If you are hating this game, go suffer through a game of Madden. Then maybe you'll appreciate how great this game really is.

Lol. I just went to a quick game and did random on both sides. Came out with Heat @ Knicks and I'll never use the Knicks so......OMG Lebron is a glitch. He's a ******* cheat code.

I damn near had a quintuple double with the man. Cheap bastard. Lol

Whenever I play with LeBron vs the CPU I always have to pause and make sure the game is on the right difficulty...lol

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

I'm finding that MyPlayer games get broken sometimes out of nowhere. It's like the coach is doing everything backwards.

When I am having a good game and performing well, I will be benched often. Say 6-7 times a game.

When I am having a bad game, I literally end up playing the entire game. Most of the 3rd and 4th quarter with NO ENERGY WHAT SO EVER. And what's worse is that I am a PG being swapped over to SF and PF. I was having a bad game against the Heat. My coach is basically trashing me talking about how I am about to be benched. Yet he doesn't do it. And I have no energy. Trying to guard Bosh who is a foot taller than me and Lebron in my 10th game in the league just automatically buried my teammate grade.

I find it disgusting that I can't get bench and get a rest. This is ridiculous. Are they planning on patching this??

Purchase the Gatorade attribute and raise your stamina attribute to at least 92.

I've experienced the freezing issue in MyPlayer Blacktop. Before it shows BallerZ vs RingerS, it sometimes freeze and I have to reset PS3. Also, when I play Blacktop games I win the game but still credit a loss on my record. It's odd and hopefully it'll be resolved soon.

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

Was there a hidden update with the court updates?
I played all 82 games with Mycareer PF and learned my craft as a post player, after the court updates the post moves don't work. I could get by my man and dunk, shoot, or even sky hook but now all I do is a one inch jump of the ground and throw the ball up. The shot contact seems out of control now.

Have we ever had evidence of this actually happen in the past? Isn't the content they add and send to microsoft and psn has to be approved by theses before going through?

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

One big problem I have with this game and that's player movement. Often it's unnatural and clunky. Moving around the court is a hassle even with players with quickness and speed ratings. Your man can be 4 feet away from you and instead of being able to walk over to him you will start sidestepping toward him. Sometimes the ball can be right in front of you yet you will randomly turn around and be facing the opposite direction. When trying to jump for a rebound or jumping to defend an alley oop or something it seems like there is a magnetic force holding you to the ground.

Trying to explain some of the odd ways players move or some of the weird things players do while moving through text is kinda hard, I wish I had a PVR so I could get some video of this stuff.

Maybe it's out of the question for this gen cycle, but being that we may be looking at a new gen next year, I'm really hoping they take a new approach to movement:

*CPU initiated movement of a human- controlled player (should rarely happen if ever during play. Acceptable for and-1 celebrations, dead-ball reactions, etc of course).

*Restriction of "desired" movement of a human-controlled player. For ex, I'm controlling CP3. I press LS straight down to go cover my man who's open behind the arc. Simply I'm standing stationary at the top of the key, then LS down. Out of 10 times, maybe 3 or 4 times he'll just jog in the intended direction. Too many times he'll pivot, turn, maybe take a step in another direction, let up and almost lazily walk, and it's frustrating.

*2K basketball for years has had this sort of "nudging" you to go where you should. For ex, while inbounding after a make, you don't have to touch your controller, your player will begin to approach the inbounder. Not a huge problem, but it's not initiated by the user.

I always wondered if this is a "design decision" or a "limitation" of some sort that they have to live with to get the extraordinary animation realism they have.

Besides that though, they've finally nailed running the break. There's nothing like having numbers and knowing you can't be defended if you run it right

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

I'm getting ready to go into "Oh my god this game is trash" mode. There is so much wrong, that I don't think I'll be able to spend another week playing it. I'm not seeing the o. reb. problems, the scoreboard glitch, the CP3 going to the Cavs problem or anything like that.

I'm seeing the CPU abuse alleys with no way to stop them, players huddled together like homeless men around a fire not trying to space the floor, ridiculous amounts of off ball contact and suction for human controlled players, the same ridiculous contact and suction that the CPU seem impervious to, the same ridiculous contact that they swore they got rid of. Fouls not being called fouls on the CPU, the suction and contact creating foul that would not have been if it weren't there, the inability for a player without the finisher sig skill to make a layup if someone even breathes on them, if a player gets knocked down no matter how much hustle they have they will stay there while the play goes on around them, the constant need for players to unnecessarily change there shot, the CPU will not use screens you set for them, the cpu will constantly set unnecessary screen and picks, the cpu will follow you around like a lost puppy trying to get the ball back from you instead of working to get open for a shot, tons of unnecessary animations that trigger far too often.

That's it for now, I could continue on for 5 pages but I'll stop right now.

Way too many glitches in MyCAREER mode and Online Blacktop. It is very frustrating.

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

Well looks like 2k is pretty lazy in association. Apparently Terry Stotts is the head coach of the Blazers AND the assistant coach for the Mavs lol

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

AI teammates need to be address. their IQ on defense is horrible. long passes from full court also need to address. also steal spam online need to be addressed with more reach in fouls
