The video actually shows NBA 2K12 footage, but Chris Smoove talks about the improvements to NBA 2K13.

Just an FYI the gameplay in the vid is from 2K12 w/ updated rosters, not 2K13. Impressions are of 2K13.

Just watched the video and I liked most of what he said. That NBA 2K12 Brooklyn Nets mod is very nice too.

love how shot blocking is specific to shot blockers

layups get more respect in the paint and u can used it as a tool to attack non shot blockers

mashing turbo/aggressor plays out effectively on stamina

its seems they address a lot more than the jump from 2k10 to 2k11 in this installment from 2k12 to 2k13:headbang2

Hm. Don't think anyone else had that moment when they were sucked into that Mayo/Augustin animation without even touching the stick that mentioned it. Wonder if it was just a one time thing. Either way, hope it was. Don't want the game deciding to make me move one way or the other on its own. Rather get blown by standing still than have that happen.

Smoove is great, good video.



Also, something I would love to see changed (which you can see in this video). Is that when you own a team (CPU) and the point difference is +10-20 they start to play fullcourt defense but I just blast by them and score easy lay-ups/dunks or wide open shots.

I hope the defense is/has been improved. Because that just makes it too easy. And when I play association (12 min quarters) and I have a few blowouts vs several teams I don't want to play like that. I want a team to actually try and play decent defense. Maybe let a guard defend me full court but not every player.
