Good to hear the footage showed last night was a very early build. All player movements were looking oddly similar to NBA Live.

The worrying thing is this is 8 months of work since last Oct. We got less in the way of patch fixes for 2k12 and we hoped that effort was at least focused on 2k13. I'm really not seeing much visible improvement other than a few tweaked animations. If anything, it actually looks worse than 2k12 and the sliding especially on off ball defense looks to be as bad as ever.

Hopefully this is an extremely old build-- or that they can work miracles in 3 months.

What's funny is that there is less sliding on the iPad version of the game.

If you're posting just for a response, especially a negative one then you should start reading the TOS now because alot of guys you see here now most likely wont be in the near future for making the same kind of mistake im describing to you now

I feel it'd make sense to assume NBA 2K's production cycle is not spent entirely on committing changes to gameplay one-by-one. I have to think there's pre-planning stages, planning stages, goals, tinkering, experimentation, and whatever else before finally reaching an implementation stage. I'm assuming that's why it's often easy to notice small things at this time of year (like the inclusion of a new layup animation) as opposed to the more sweeping alterations that were likely still a work in progress whenever this build was created.

Changing the color of Jordan's tongue (prior to 2K11), adding in a new cyber face 2K12), changing the color of a team's paint (Pistons)... those seem like one-to-one changes. As in, someone could likely pinpoint those problems and address them as they come. Something like altering the manner with which a defense reacts to a ball handler's dribble moves while reducing sliding, I'm thinking it's aspects like that which 2K is likely running through extensive planning and testing before implementing.

Granted, that doesn't mean they'll fix everything, just touching on what I feel the development process may encompass.

Let me just say it in a more direct way. Don't pay any attention to any video that is released this early. This build could have been from February. We don't know. But it is the same thing every year. Early videos and people complain only to find out that it. Honestly it is best if you ignore them.

But, I understand the issue some of you have since there were some glaring issues with 2K12.

2k12 was awful and 2k13 will be as well.

I'm waiting til next gen to get another basketball game, 2k has ran outta gas this gen. it's just a fact.
