What a mess, guys... You are never satisfied with anything. Next year you`ll all complain about the gameplay once again. I enjoyed 2K12 a lot. For me this is the best game in the series. Haven`t tried 2k13 yet, but I`ll in the coming days.

People on the internet complained last year so it must be the same people complaining now. Perfect logic. The gameplay has a few glaring issues right now. There's no way around it.

But there is HARDLY ANY contact at all during dunks or layups under the rim. This is the biggest flaw in the entire game to me. Shot blockers and great defensive big man are just about useless because no matter how good they are at blocking shots, once the dunk Animation has started, it no longer matters what the defender does. I have dunked all over guys like Javelle McGee and Tyson Chandler with PGs like Ty Lawson or Jeff Teague. This needs to be fixed immediately. Even if they have to go back to the canned animation blocks that were in 2k12; some contact is better than none! Also, why are players with mediocre inside ratings that are undersized, able to go in and make every single layup underneath the rim. There should never be a time where I can go up at the same time with a 6 FT point guard against a 7 footer and get an easy bucket with no contact at all. Cheap buckets like this truly take the competition out of online play.

Yes my thoughts exactly! I cant Block anything I play offline on HOF cpu just gets in the paint and goes to work everytime its crazy.....I pride myself on defense and just cant seem to stop anything this year.

I guess it depends on the game mode you prefer and if your a MyCareer guy and play on any difficulty with casual or simulation when both teams are shooting over 50% throughout the entire game and end up with triple digit scores EVERY GAME I think it's pretty obvious there's a problem here. And for me anyway it is a MAJOR issue.

and this could be done with a patch or we need to wait next year?

Actually, defensively the demo is much better than the retail game. The contact was better, fouls called was better, stealing wasn't as easy as it is now and threes didn't fall with defenders in your face at an alarming rate. As of now ill take the demo over the retail.

I am thinking about picking up NBA 2K11 or 2K12 on the PC, see if any mods can update those games a bit. NBA 2K13 has been an epic fail so far.

I can understand players hitting shots in your face, even though they dialed it down this year it's still an issue....but not being able to stay in front of your man is user error.

Going back to 2k12 of all games because you can't stay in front of your man is hilarious...

Man, you complainers just want a game to your liking. Won't happen. Unless you make it yourself. Start enjoying this game.

Playing defense in this game is just fun to me. Oh and I can do it.

Online ruins the experience for you. Different ppl online have different skills. Instead of having fun you complain when you lose.

Seriously, it's just user. I've been playing this game for a while and haven't had issues you're talking about.
