OS Roundtable: Where does NBA 2K13 Stand?

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

I dont think people understand how hard it is to develop these games. Nor do they understand the constant pressure put under developers to get games out earlier and earlier and earlier..

If I had a nickle for every time this excuse is used to defend 2k. This seems to be the excuse for even the simplest bugs......it very hard, would break the game blah blah blah..... . One of the easiest ways to meet a deadline goal is to start early.


I can bet you any aspects of the game involving VC are tweak to perfection. Never heard of anyone complaining about getting 10,000VC from a key game. And if one exploit is found, it's magically fixed without breaking the game.

I'm not saying its as complicated as supposedly fixing the allstar bug but come on man, these bugs aren't rocket science.

You seriously can not block dunks, you get the magical push out the air trick ever time.

Better blocking sure 2k.......

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

This 2k is up there with the greats without question..It's right on par with 2k11 for me as of right now.

I basically have one big complaint about the game, and that's the rebounding....and this is something that the devs already have there sights on for a patch. Everything else is minor for me.

Just a fantastic game.

I wouldn't call the my player minutes bug minor.

Well he did say minor for HIM.

The greatest overall sports simulation ever made to date. There have been other great games that have done some things really well but nothing as complete a game as NBA 2K13.

Who has the best 2k share rosters?

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

I wish they would let you edit rotations for online games, playing with 3 guards and 87 bigs just doesn't cut it

[Frizzz24]

I just don't understand why 2k gets rid of aspects of the game that worked/people liked.

1. Player introductions before games.
2. Player sweat.
3. Manual save.
4. SLIDER share....this one to me is HUGE!

Not digging the ghetto looking menus either. Just looks cheesy.

The gameplay once I get the right sliders will be great though. Looking forward to the court patches too!

[tril]

for me it would rank 2nd, for best basketball simulation. The first would be CH2k8.
So far, IveI only played association, so I cant comment on all the other modes.
but as far as on court gameplay, yup there is no denying that the 2k team knocked it out the park. As usual, Its all about learning the gameplay mechanics and all the oncourt features that are available. Once you do this, the game really then becomes a thing of beauty, close to a master piece.

Why can't ppl have an opinion without speculation of "you've been paid to say this," or "you're a Fan boy!" ??
I don't understand it.

Anyways with that said, 2K is absolutely awesome at attention to details in their sports titles. Real recognize real and 2K recognizes the game of basketball and football, tennis too (TopSpin 4 is awesome). Is it perfect...No. Is it the greatest thing next to going outside and playing ball...Yes. Mission accomplished.

I'll comment after they add defense into the game...

You have to use a controller to play defense...maybe that will help.

The game is awesome. Anyone can nitpick , but there is not a sports game on the market that offers a better overall experience than 2k13. I don't really get all the whining about the defense, either. It is difficult to defend, that I'll concede, but if you take time to learn the game then the defense becomes rewarding. Same with the rebounding, it just takes a lot of focus to switch guys EVERY time a shot goes up and box your man out. Sure there are funny bounces here and there, but if I can rebound effectively in this game, anyone can. Best sports game ever.....sorry PES (i'll still play you later).

thank you dbmcgee.. looks like people who understand basketball games are finally coming on this topic. Earlier it was ridiculous.

I'm sorry but we need to clear something up here. Nitpicking is when someone is talking about a tattoo missing or about what shoes a player is wearing. Nitpicking is not freezing, my player minute bug, allstar weekend glitch that sims you to the end of season, Not being given full VC amount earned in my player etc. I just want us to be clear.

Yes x1000 the game is good but us consumers have a right to complain about legit problems.

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

It's natural for us to come and nitpick and complain because....this is a forum. That's why I post here, to discuss likes/dislikes, tactics and strategies and to see what kind of innovative things other people are using.

In real life I don't go to my friends who also play 2k and say "Dude the shot tendency is too high for the CPU!" or something like that, I just enjoy the game. Criticizing is apart of this forum and at the end of the day most of us just want 2k to hear us out and either improve the game with a patch or to keep it in mind for future installments. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of "dude wtf my teammates are stupid in myplayer i want my money back", but not every complaint is as unhelpful.

At the end of the day I love playing 2k13 and I will continue to play until 2k14 comes it, it's an awesome game and easily the best sports game out there in my opinion, but there's always room for improvement.
