NBA 2K13 Demo Available Now For 360 and PS3, Post Impressions Here

[Nodima]

Is the online match not working for anyone else with a PS3? I keep pressing X and nothing happens other than a little laser sound effect.

Alley-oop on the Ps3 is Square + X.

On a side note, does anyone else think the new scoreboard/menu layout is horrible? Seems like a Mardi-gras/New Orleans/Harley Davidson theme. It also seems like Jay-Z cut off a chunk of his album cover "Watch the Throne" and slapped it on the layout on 2k13. Too much gold, looks too "theme-ish". It also makes the game look more arcade-like, when it should be realistic.

Although EA Basketball games suck these days, I wouldn't mind trading scoreboards with them...

What is up with Wade and Lebron's faces? Last year they got them down pretty good. Lebron looks like he has swollen lips lol Wish I have the PC version so they can be changed.

The animations are pretty fast and smooth this year. I did not feel any lag.

I tried that but it just passes the ball. Am I suppose to hold both buttons together or hold onto L2 while performing this? All I did was simply tap square then X.

Sigh, this is the one thing that annoys me every year; the controls. There is no consistency throughout the years. I remember when alley-oop was L2+O, then L2+X, now its supposedly square + x. And every year they say the controls were re-designed for the better of it .. they said the same thing about 2k12 and look how that turned out ...

Square and X at the same time. (If you wheren't doing that)

I've tried Square + X but it just attempts to shoot the ball instead

I notice this.

When I box out I rarely get the board. I don't know if I'm missing timing my jump or what.

Agreed.

Me being a hip hop head and knowing majority of the songs the heavy censors does kill me.

Rebounding being a jump off is due to the settings according to Mike earlier in this thread....

X + A for alley oops....haven't had issues with this whatsoever....have to make sure players are in the position to do one though...

And yeah the soundtrack is absolutely gutted...Listening to 'Mercy' is painful lol
