NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

I've earned almost 18k VC points...havent really bought anything been saving for My player attributes. Now that I have the roster I want playing MyCareer and trying to upgrade my player and what do you know? transactions not complete, not saved to 2k server...2k having all this crap linked to their servers with the history of their servers being horrible is totally stupid to me. Very frustrating ...as I have said before he game play is top notch..other things are sadly bringing the overall enjoyment down.

Servers are much better this year. I'm thinking the reason it's all auto-saved + VC is linked to their servers is cuz of the my player hacks we've seen the past few years.

The level of detail with the audio commentary has been awesome, I must say. So much depth.

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

Anyone think there's a problem with the pick and roll game?

Look at the video below:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xb0fsbUVSRw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Durant fights through the pick before LeBron has even moved, so when LeBron finally decides to go it's like he might as well not have called for a pick in the first place, because he's going one on one with Durant. Shouldn't Bosh be setting the pick when LeBron decides to go?

I guess I'm indecisive. I haven't looked at video like that to really say, but I can't say pick and rolls are bad just because of one clip.

LeBron might have been slow to move and Bosh a bit early to set the pick.

Maybe the point of that play was to see if Bosh's man would commit as well.

There's too many ifs. I can run the pick and roll just fine and I see the CPU run it against me so I don't know, I'm indecisive on saying there's something wrong with it especially if you're trying to base it on one action from one clip.

Why were full timeouts included in Teamup mode this year?

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

At this point, I'm like screw the roster updates and give some info on a gameplay update. Even the greatest rosters mean nothing with busted gameplay.

Where do we post pronunciation fixes?

Jonas Valanciunas needs fixing.

The PA announcer pronounces the J, but in real life the J sounds like a Y(so instead of sounding like he's a Jonas brother, they should pronounce it like "Yonas")

The commentators call him Val-en-ci-unas, when in real life, they call him Val-en-chu-nis

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

The honeymoon is over and I'm getting very frustrated. The game is pretty good, but two of the most important things in sports gaming are missing/off.

Physics
-Player interaction is off.
-Collisions don't happen enough in the paint.
-THE BALL STILL MORPHS!!! Through players and even the rim at times.

User Control
-Animations still control the game!
-I'm forced into crossovers, bumping, and shot contest animations against my will far too often,

There are more issues worth talking about, but those are my biggest disappointments thus far.

For someone who doesn't know heaps about basketball the highlighted shooting hot spots for each player is a great touch.

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

I think one of the most important thing to be adjusted in this game by the patch is to increase fouls called when it involves contact between the user and the cpu across every difficulty.

I don't know how many times when I drive to the basket, I get contact and no foul called or I get mauled & blocked with no foul called. But on the other end the same is done but the cpu gets the foul call.

It's so frustrating and makes me rather jump shoot instead of wasting the possession on a drive that'll end in no points because of no calls. I'm not saying it should be called every time but it to be consistent and fair compared to the cpu.

Turn up your Layup Strength sliders ~5-6pts, not the CPUs. This will help you get better contact animations on defense.

When those drawn out animations happen, pressing buttons on defense will result in fouls. RS defense is a lot better and won't create so many fouls. On offense, RS into the defender during the contact will result in more fouls. Adjusting the shot manually will also create more fouls, assuming that you have the fouls turned up around 88-92 for shooting.

If you are speaking in the area of online, yeah it sucks the only way you can do this is through OA. Ranked, you can't expect much, its geared for the kiddies. I do think they need to bump the fouls in the sim slider set higher.

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

I'm tired of 2k releasing these half-*** games. There are too many things wrong with this game for me to list. I don't feel like it. I feel the most important one that list is the lack of physical collision at the rim, offensive rebounding and lack of defense completely.

Yeah that would most definitely fix it but sadly it doesn't carry over to My Career mode.

I was mostly speaking of My Career but thanks for the suggestion.

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

This game sucks ... Well I won't put it like that but as soon as I learn more it'll be better but right now it's terrible it's impossible to play OBD, I make every layup:-), and CPU cherry picks successfully each time they see a player

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

Well to sum it up, 2k13 is one of the best videogames available this year but it failed to simulate BASKETBALL. It succeeded as a videogame but not as a BASKETBALL SIMULATOR.

Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

Raptors "pound the rock" story is actually in NBA 2K. Crazy how updated the commentary is. Real stories too, not generic "(Insert city)s coach told us that he noticed rebounding was a problem last game and wants to improve it".

It was an actual story about the Raptors with the big boulder and all that.
