OS Roundtable: Where does NBA 2K13 Stand?

Wait what, can we even play """"offline"""". We have to be connected to the servers at all time to even enjoy this game.

What are you talking about?

Very good game overall, with a few rather glaring issues surrounding rebounding/player positioning.

I don't know why people expect sports games to come out without quirks. Every year, they have to pack a ton of crap in enough to warrant a purchase, but they don't get the 4 to 6 month QA like or genres do. Never can a sport game say it'll be out "when it's ready". So, the game isn't perfect, but it's clearly taken step forward.

It really has taken a step forward in gameplay and 2k has to know this and keep plugging at it

Re: OS Roundtable: Where does NBA 2K13 Stand?

the game is phenominal. Ive been playing since release and its getting better and better. the amount ou detail, variation, and depth of gameplay is outstanding. even for 2K/VC. presentation continues to be stellar. even with a few questionable asthetic choices, the implimentaion is top notch. its hard to imagine how they can wow us in next Gen (other than graphicaly ) we'll see

It stands upright, on it's base; as any other Xbox 360 videogame does.

Well I only play offline association & I haven't even started yet! Still mastering plays & tweaking sliders. I've enjoyed it so far though. Love the controls! I've had some decent games. Using sliders posted here I've gotten rid of some of the glaring issues. I do wish they put more work into the classic arenas.

It's early but no big complaints. Last year I practically reprogrammed the game I tweaked so much!

Add in Less in air contact animations, Faster recovery time on defense, Less Animations where we're stuck in if we do commit to a missed block or steal, and put in My Crew with fully customizable jerseys, stadiums, and you got yourself a deal.

Where does this 2k rank? I still believe 2k11 achieved more as far as game immersion. I've had more fun playing crew with my friends than i've had playing my team/my player blacktop....to be honest the best part of 2k13 is the right stick dribbling, the manual bounce passes, and my career mode, otherwise this game isnt all that as far as being able to play with your friends online. There's no defense in the paint online, no shot blocking. If you play a blacktop game, everyone can shoot three's, you can't alter anyones shot, the computer never misses a shot, the matchmaking is broken and takes forever to start up, it's only a half court game which blows, and there are too many ballhogs....oh yeah, this Virtual currency system stinks, why the hell don't you just stick with skill points? people buying blue diamonds for $20 bucks, buying overall 99's? gtfoh 2k...that's just too much.. in my honest opinion, 2k11 trumps this game because there was actual defense being played minus the constant bumping.

to reiterate...add crew, more blocks, better matchmaking, better clothes to choose from in the mp store, and you just might have yourself the greatest basketball game of all-time!

NBA 2K13 stands as a basketball game that is fun and it's hard to stop playing but disappoints me as a customer and Fan for not receiving the full game(for the second straight year). All I play is MyCAREER & MyPLAYER Blacktop here's my input.

MyCAREER is Perfect I see no Changes to it only improvements, my only problem with it is How much VC you get from drills and you don't receive a + on an attribute. Honestly, the next big thing for MyCAREER to me is making it online(MyCAREER Online). This is very similar to Madden's Connected Careers but this would be the next big thing for MyCAREER in NBA 2K14(imo).

MyPLAYER Blacktop is not perfect, there needs to be more courts(only 2) you can't block dunks, anklebreaker doesn't exist, the player checking the ball shouldn't be able to shoot only pass and this mode clearly could of been 5v5 Fullcourt, although I play this more than any other mode It's the only MyPlayer Online Mode and that is a major problem we need more "MyPLAYER Online Modes". Let me be Clear "WE NEED MORE MY PLAYER ONLINE MODES" since MyCAREER is the cornerstone of NBA 2K why do we get limited with the using our MyPLAYERS online? Either way I feel these problems can be patched even the 5v5 Fullcourt that'll be so F'in great and make so many people happy. 2K say their listening to us but clearly they're not.
NBA 2K13 - 6/10 before the patch

Oh my god man. When did the internet become something for a bunch of whiners and babies. People hating on Jay-Z. Crying about VC please man. You have to play the game to get VC and as you do that.. HOLY CRAP YOU GET BETTER. This game is clearly the best sports game of all time. Yes is the rebounding ridiculous sometimes.. absolutely. If you watch real basketball and know how to play it then the game is top notch. STOP CRYING ABOUT JAY-Z PLEEASSEEE. I actually wish he had picked out more songs. The only problem with the game really is online but that's because of cheesers.. not 2k. STOP WAITING AND CRYING FOR PATCHES. Once again if you played real basketball you'd realize that you don't always just play your position.. Jesus. This forum is worse than the romney forums.

Re: OS Roundtable: Where does NBA 2K13 Stand?

Gameplay has taken a big step forward, I think some of the things that hold it back is the online aspect, the lack of stability,still with no lobbies and other options we need to have in this day in age. For example the game is greater than Madden13 but Madden 13 online interface, options, etc destroys NBA2k13. Also I think some of the annoying bugs and glitches in the game that we notice right away didnt get fixed. Also the option to turn off autosave not being present is just crazy, also I don't even think then NBA Today feature hasn't worked since release date. NBA2K13 took 3 big steps forward, but then it kind of stumbled back one step in a few things. I think what annoys people is the game is close to be perfection if it wasn't for a few things that 2K needs to address in a patch. So post patch, or patches, this should be brought up again.

The best basketball game ever and currently either 1 or 2 of all sports games either behind or ahead of Madden.

Re: OS Roundtable: Where does NBA 2K13 Stand?

I think it stands as the best sports game of all time. I can't think of a game that represents a sport better, though I can't help but wonder what they would've done with football. Though the offensive rebounding & points in the paint can get out of hand, my experience improves when I spend more time with the coaching settings. I don't play online & have made slider adjustments.

There's always something though. My understanding is that adjustments & additions during programming can affect unintended areas, but there always seems to be a glaring issue that we have to look forward to being fixed next year. I'm starting to wonder how unintentional the annual issue is. The effectiveness of boxing out seems like something that could be addressed in a patch. My suspicion grows if it's not.

Man oh Man, It annoys me that some refuse to acknowledge many of the little things that 2k Basketball refuses to fix that make the game feel very annoying to sim players. Oh yeah, when did the internet become crowded with folks who don't understand what a quality product is? As long as the product cosmetically looks good, they're very satisfied with mediocrity. These people also complain about User's who simply expect a quality product when they spend $60 and scapegoat by calling knowledgeable consumers cry babies. They call a game great despite 101 bugs.

Is 2k13 a good basketball game...Yes but it also feels like like I'm playing a beta version.
