    Re: NBA 2K13 Impressions Thread

    One issue I'am having theses days is with the pick'n'fade. Sometimes the screener fades all the way to the baseline into the traffic. Anyone else getting this? Am I lead passing the screener to the baseline by mistake?

    Can't figure it out.

      Okay so 2k really needs to calm down with this cheese.... I mean really.
      First thing- I steal the ball from the CPU and MY OWN ((TEAMMATE)) reaches and steals the ball away from me and just stares at it and the CPU retrieves it and scores. Then as I'm playing now and I've just air balled a wide open lay-up. Then a guy makes like 3 rainbow shots from like behind the backboard and the ref didn't call an out even though the ball hit the top of the backboard. Much more happened but I'm not going to blame 2k to much because it was my In-Process NCAA roster so I didn't expect perfect but it was some crazy stuff going on. I used North Carolina and play'd Indiana and won 91-64 on superstar so I'm not even mad though! :wink:

        Played MyCareer for a while now, in the playoffs of my first season.

        I noticed a few things: Isomotion is very stamina expensive. 2 iso moves + 0.5 seconds turbo and a dunk and I use about as much stamina as 2 fast breaks.

        Next up, rebounds. Again this year rebounding is atrocious. I can get my own rebounds no problem, averaging about 6 rebounds a game. However, my teammates can't get defensive rebounds. I rarely see box outs, and players jump way too low on rebounds, even with max verts.

        In addition to the rebound woes is the lack of contact in mid-air. I've seen Steve Nash sprint to the bucket and get an offensive rebound over ME by bumping into me and glide me away from the ball. I'm a 6"9 athletic SG with maxed Strength and vertical. And no foul calls there either. I think it should be a personal/over the back foul.

        Next up is CPU defense awareness. It's cheesy when I make a pretty nice pass to my teammates cutting towards the basket with the defenders looking at him, and the defender somehow knows when to make the steal. That's not realistic.

        On top of that, when I'm playing on ball D, there's a distinct lack of contact, as opposed to when I'm going 1-on-1 with the CPU defender. I've seen occasions where the CPU player would turbo INTO ME for 2 seconds straight, no bump. He then does a crossover and score, without any bumping or defending from me. This happens way too often. But when it's me driving, I get bumped EVERY CHANCE THEY CAN GET.

        Oh and again this year I feel the shot timing is way too late. I play basketball myself and I don't wait until I'm just about to fall to release. I release when I'm near the top of my jump, so that when the ball leaves my hand I'm at the highest point of my jump.

        Another thing is shot ratings. I don't understand how a defender who is literally below my waist when i'm shooting, attempting a steal can drop my shot rating from A+ to B? I have 97 in Shot in Traffic btw.

        I'm really bummed about the defense problems, since on the offense it's actually very enjoyable to play as is. However, you'll get pissed off having to score 50 in games where the opposing team gets more offensive rebounds than your team defensive rebounds. In addition, I feel very helpless on D because I can't defend effectively.

        The positives:
        Isomotion is slick and very sweet this year. I get a huge boost to my ego when I manages to Ankle Break someone, using good timing and physics. Can't wait for 2k14.

        CPU defense is pretty good this year, though they still can't defend spins and up-and-unders very well.

        Overall a nice and slick feel as you play the game, much better than 2k12, but still plagued by the same problems 2k12 had.

          I think I'm going back to NBA 2K12 this game is just crazy and they release a patch that makes the game even worse ...... Man oh man oh man
          Seems like all they did is make the D stop bumping but added a new style of bumping. This game isn't sim at all 12 was and 11, 10 man..

            I've come to the realization that 2k is a game you have to put a lot into it to get what you want out of it. I already know every year after purchase the next 2-4 weeks I'm not gonna get the best experience the game has to offer. But honestly the effort *for me* is well worth it, because I know for the next year I'm going to have some of the best video game hoops possible.

            Tbh, I'm not experiencing nearly ANY of the problems mentioned around here. My PIP, blocks, off rebs are all pretty much spot on. It may be because I play CPU vs CPU . I'm seriously thinking about posting up my FULL setup: roster, sliders, everything just to see if it's just me. The only problems I experience are minor annoyances.

            A BIG thanks to those who spend their time making this game great for the community. You guys know who you are.

              I'm really getting sick of my three point percentage online. I know that somebody probably thinks oh get the timing down and you will be ok. Honestly that is really annoying and corny I'd rather just have it done by how good of a three point shooter they are. I just went 1/21 in two games combined online. No way that should happen I don't care how bad my release is. Makes it way too hard to just pick up and play a fair game based on smart tactics. I'm actually going to practice to make it bearable but now I won't pick different teams and it's still unfair to anybody that doesn't want to go through the trouble when you know there are real life stats that give you a realistic idea how often it should go in. Really just would be surprised if nobody agreed cuz these aren't the first two games it happened. Also remember 2/10.

                Honestly the more I play this game...the more pissed off I get about Interior defence...Its non exsitant! Its hard enough gettin the CPU into a contested layup animation...but try and jump to block a shot...FOUL! Put your hands up to play D...get pushed back! Sure all the bells and whistles went into the offensive side of the ball..but when you wanna play DEFENCE this game is a total let down. Just once...JUST once I would like 2K to focus on the defencive side of the ball ....

                  I feel your pain. In 2k 11 the defense was good. Not great but better than 2k 13. I am tired of my guys just standing around while guys on the cpu just run by them. I'm tired of the floating balls even with the bounce pass. I'm tired of the cpu having super speed. When I pass it to a open team mate who was open he is no longer open because the cpu will warp to him.. Im tired of the cpu making 100% contested shots. I'm tired of not having control of my player.

                  In my career I'm tired of not being able to control the playbook. I play point guard and when i set the d-fence to 2-3 zone it seems the coach likes to sub me in a SG and leave the d-fence at 2-3 zone which leaves me with mindless team mates who don't play d-fence.


                  What erks me the most is how the human player animation will go in super slo-mo , but the cpu animation will not. When I go to contest a shot it feels like my guy is in the air for 5 sec.

                  The game is good don't get me wrong it's just I feel like I have no control and the game pushes me in the wrong direction on purpose.I think i am done with 2k 13 B-ball. 2k 11 here I come.

                    Lol @ "fixing" the offensive rebounds. My oh my. With that and the still horrendous points in the paint ratio I remember why I took a break from this game in the first place.

                      After playing this game since release day ... honestly, it makes NBA 2K12 look that much better. As much as I hated 2K12, I can say that I would appreciate it more. I am tired of Steph Curry sprinting up the floor on a fast break every possession. This game is geared toward Casual users. NBA 2K12 although was a step behind 2K11, is better than this. This game is just terrible. Where is the CPU logic? Steph Curry drives into the lane with 3 defenders for an easy layup. Ridiculous.

                      NBA 2K12 baby!

                          The focus towards casuals started with 2K12, though.

                              Man i REALLY have a love hate relationship with this game. I feel like a battered woman because i keep coming back for more. Just fix the interior defense and blocking and ill be in gaming heaven. This game is SO CLOSE to topping 2k11

                                question is, 2k11 or 2k12? which one is better?
