Most irritating things in NBA 2k13

[sead94]

I believe many things are mentinoned here and there in the forum, so I would share my low moments with the game in rather concise manner:

-Skating is back for another year (even with minimal use of turbo). Footplanting improved minimally, but far from satisfactory. It kills you efforts on defense tremendously.
-Bumping stll excessive and mechanic, improved like 5% from NBA 2K12. A lot of unnecessary and unnatural movements in the game. NBA 2k13 is just another build of the last year game, with questionable improvements.
-Ball awarness by AI players is just horrible. Ball often lands on their head and they stll can't grab a rebound.
-Speaking about rebounds, AI offensive rebounding is basically broken. Its used by the AI to keep scores close or to differentiate dificulty levels in most irritating way possible, another proof of 2k12build not improved enough (boxing out not helping, if you were wondering whether I tried that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2hQ_WFSiaA&sns=em).
-Dunks impossible to block or change. If opponent beats you minimally for possition forget about blocking.
-Online on pro difficulty is basically an arcade mode.
-Online lag kills your timing for plethora of things, especially on defense. In general online remains the last place where they even try to improve anything.

Well, I hope they address in the patch at least some of things mentioned here, though I remain very sceptical about that. The game is far from trash, it has great positive sides, for e.g. breaking animations in the post, dribble moves are fantastic, but how can you enjoy the good sides when movement, rebounding and other core staff irritate you that often?

Agreed.

Only minimal improvements have been made, and it's actually worse in some regards.

NBA 2k12 2.0.

You are expecting 2K to address such things in the coming patch? Really?

Re: Most irritating things in NBA 2k13

How about that fact you can't get an assist if 2k thinks you threw a bad pass. I throw at least one every game that would, in real life, count as an assist, but I've never gotten credit for it in NBA 2k13.

Oh, and the MyCareer glitch where if freezes before the game starts. Might not be on everyone's list but it will when you encounter it.

Yes. Why not? If the workload's too much then I guess our money is too much as well.

There's no reason why at least half these issues shouldn't be mitigated with the upcoming patch. No one paid $65 for a broken game.

At least no one did with the intention for it to be.

Re: Most irritating things in NBA 2k13

The only thing that makes me rage hard in this version is that sometimes my guy shoots a freaking jumpshot when he is right under/around the basket...

That happened in 2k8 and shouldn't happen in 2k13 !!!

I guess modern Hip Hop isn't the only thing Jay Z has killed. He killed NBA 2k as well.

Shame on thee.

Re: Most irritating things in NBA 2k13

If i said that theres ways to play defense without skating around everywhere would you believe me? If i told you that playing proper defense and boxing out minimizes the CPUs offensive rebounding, would you believe me?

I kinda doubt it, but if you did i bet the game would be a lot more enjoyable to you

not seeing these like you are. only thing I agree about is online should be on all star instead of arcade pro. Your video just illustrates what user error is. Did you even see the trajectory of the ball? It was a long rebound + the dude Luol Deng rebounded over was a small guy. That video has 70 likes and 0 dislikes, yet people are so quick to blame the game instead of having some common sense.

1) It was a long rebound, Deng was in better position for the bounce off rim
2) Even if you were boxing out -- it was with a low rated rebounder. Deng should win that battle.

Rebounding could use a little tiny tiny tweak. But it's far from this "broken" crap you guys keep saying. I rebound fine in the game. The problem is you guys make big deals out of things that just need a littel bit of tweaking, calling it broken, etc. And then like we've seen, 2k overcompensates for you and it ends up dumbing the game down.

Yep, happens to me at least once a game, CPU cheating

WOW!
So explain to me why Ryan Anderson who is a solid rebounder stops boxing out and does a swim move to get behind Deng?

Boxing out and rebounding is 2 different things, maybe in real life it would have been a over the back called. The CPU will take you out of a box out animation to get the rebound.

I see this happen all the time with great rebounders.

Deng was boxed out twice and even if it was a long rebound the CPU knows where the ball will bounce after a rebound. It don't help your teammates get stuck in useless animations or just stand there looking.

Re: Most irritating things in NBA 2k13

for some reason people with shot creator have a higher chance of making a hop step three than a spot up three. its really weird considering how unrealistic that is. but i hope that can be fixed also

Re: Most irritating things in NBA 2k13

The things Im irritated by are mostly things that arent gameplay related. Like these ridiculous roster updates, no control over autosave in any mode and numerous of small glitches (Nike ID glitch, cant mix certain accessories glitch)
