Guys have they added more co-op modes online this year? Can you play a co-op season online?

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

Sorry, trying to keep the topic to my impressions and my impressions are that the music is not appropriate for an "E for Everyone" game.

Again, I am not easily offended! I grew up on Eminem, Jay, Big, Pac and still love mainstream and underground hip-hop to this day. Always will.

I just like to be able to separate the two. When I'm playing NBA 2K, I shouldn't be uncomfortable playing it with my sons.

That is all.

The next person that posts about any sort of religious topic will be banned instantly.

No more warnings.

Give your impression about the game or don't post. If your impression is about some religious topic, find another forum to express it in.

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

I actually don't mind the presentation at all. The only thing that bothers me is all of the gold swirly things around all the overlays and the tribal tattoo shapes around everything. all the swirly graphic shapes just aren't very "nba". it's almost like a rapper designed it...:wink:.

other than those swirlies around everything, i like the rest of the presentation - the overall gold color scheme and flashiness to the presentation looks pretty cool to me. I like how the bars on the screen light up to match the beat of the music. I like the fatter, chunkier fonts they used for the lettering and numbers in the overlays. makes everything more readable. Overall, pretty cool presentation if you ask me.

I must say I hate Jay-Z being all over the game. I didn't know I disliked him until this game. He is everywhere. In my intro, in my menu's (I find myself going back to the previous menu just so Jay-Z doesn't pop up).

But all I have done since last night is training camp and practice mode. The controls are great to me now. I loved the fact that I can look and see how my moves compare to the shot button in training mode. But I found it weird that they tell you use the modified shot stick for post moves but don't encourage it for jump shooting, layups and dunks.

I want to see if you can still get the intro's to games if you use your own custom soundtrack (Brooklyn We Go Hard should be the Nets intro video song).

I'm trying to figure out how to save settings because I added some hustle, scrapper and charge card sig skills to people that should have had them.

And of course I'm a 360 guy and can't use my Allstar code which sucks.

The alternate controls work fantastic if you want to stick with the shot stick @ RS.

This game is amazing. My issues stop at rebounding and occasional lack of contact inside....and I haven't even looked at sliders yet. Other than that man, wow.

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

Thanks, Pared, for cleaning this thread up.

The presentation has a very "Watch the Throne" quality to it, but it's fine to me and not really distracting at all. I wouldn't say I prefer it to a more "traditional" presentation system like we had in 2K12, but I like it well enough.

Which is a relief because from some of the initial impressions where people hate the menus and such, they made it seem like Jay-Z himself was popping on the screen every 10 minutes yelling "Chea!" or something.

Overall, very impressed with 2K13, and it was worth me almost falling asleep at my desk right now just for the chance to play a few hours, although I spent most of the time getting down the new controls.

Like I said in the Demo impression thread, the game just feels "right".

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

Nitpick, but didnt like that I cant select the players I want active for online games. Would much rather have the rookie Tony Wroten than Haddadi

Re: NBA 2k13 Impressions Thread

Love the game so far.

Presentation isn't bad, it just isn't sports-like. Would have rather had it like a traditional sports game, but meh.

The smoothness of the game is what I'm in love with, it just feels so good.

The game ain't perfect, there are issues. But we on the right path. Good job 2k!

**The 24th Letter** · 10-02-2012, 09:08 AM

Also, the Kinect integration is bawse....straight bawse...

I've actually gotten pretty used to the shot button at this point. Once i got better at dribbling with the right stick, i got kind of attached to the default control scheme. i'm never going to like L2 + RS for shooting - it just creates too much of a delay for me to hit L2 before every shot...so i'm pretty committed to the shot button at this point. After a while I found it to be about as effective as the shot stick anyway. with the button, i might give up a tiny bit of control, but I gain quicker response time on shooting, which is crucial to me.

Yeah I hear you...

This game is designed to put your left index finger to work...mine is seriously sore at this point.

Blues, as far as the button, is it pretty responsive as far as finishing at a certain angle?

It seems pretty good to me so far. i find that with the shot button, your player usually picks the correct animation anyway - he will usually do his best to angle away from the defender as much as possible...but, i also don't really attack the rim unless i have a pretty open lane anyway.

i still might try out the alternate scheme eventually, but if i don't like it, at least i'll know the shot button will be adequate. I was worried that using the shot button would just give up too much control on shooting, but I find it works good enough that i don't feel like i need the shot stick.
