Im satisfied, now Lets get some info on the gamplay enhancements..61 days to go..

There's so much mad in this thread lol



I don't about some of you guys but I'm ready for some vids and the dev info. Just as long they don't mention anything about updating player art this year it should be some good reading material.

Im expecting the insights to start being released by the week of the 13th of August(with the small chance next week). I like how they dont release the info too early. Mainly because there isnt big gaps between info being released like Madden does.


I am not disappointed because I wasnt expecting something monumental. I wasnt expecting a NFL/College football game because the license isnt up yet. Wasnt expecting CHOOPs because I dont think there is a big market for College BBall. I dont care for Legends/Dream Team or Olympics modes It is too early(in 2k terms)to release any gameplay/mode info.

I am good with it because as the first real info on the game being released it is good. I like that this wasnt just for his name to be on the game/marketing and soundtrack. From reading the ESPN article, Jay Z wants/ed to be involved in the game other than just soundtrack. I didnt know he was a gamer like that.

Folks I was let down by this big announcement as well but I really think there is SOMETHING MORE to this announcement, if you read between the lines you will notice that Jay-Z will have an big impact to NBA 2K13 whether it be from an marketing aspect or a game play aspect. The cows haven't left the barn yet.

No, that is one point that I actually disagree on. They need to explain that situation from last year, especially when it was a main "back of the box" feature in 2K12. I'd like to see that addressed, recitified and included in 2K13. That way I'm not stuck with a crappy looking CP3 and dread-headed Michael Beasley for 12 months.

Sorry for going off topic..................

Yeah I'm not going to hold my breath for that one...lol

If they were to do it I'd rather them not mention it at all and just let the updates happen and let US see it for ourselves. I have always enjoyed coming into the forums and see a thread saying "Was this player always skinny, I could've sworn he had a different body type"

I want a similar thread like that pop only saying something like "did this guy have tats before" or "hey they added a beard to this player"

It's a nice surprise kind of thing where you're prompted to get off the comp to check it out yourself.

From reading the insight last year, I was expecting them to update players(looks) since they said that try to make players look who they currently are.

That is why I like PC, though.

A little shocked this would be considered the big announcement 2K has been advertising. However, this does look to be a very nice soundtrack.

you can shake your head all you want but it's true. If you think video games are concerned about trying to hook in hardcore gamers then you are clueless. The reason they are called hardcore gamers is because they buy the game year after year and basically will buy the game no matter what. Casual gamers are people who don't do that but will buy the game if something they see interests them.

I think you're looking at casual gamer wrong. For instance, I am a hardcore NCAA player. Editing, re rates, long dynasty. For Madden I was hardcore till editing is gone this year whine I will take a break unless season pass blows me away. To me they are hooking the casual gamer, but re hooking the jaded hardcore with RTP. Giving both genres the best of both worlds. Now we get to 2K. I'm an extremely casual gamer. I check here from time to time to see what will happen, but overall don't go too in depth. My friends are even more casual on 2K.

Now if I read today the big announcement was real time physics or something great I'd be paying attention till release. For instance Jordan modes in 2K11 I picked it up in December, but had been checking it out since the review just out of curiosity. Before ever coming here I was going to ign games to check things occasionally. The announcement of Jay Z does nothing for me or my friends. Especially because we like country lol. At this point I'll check out how demo plays and reviews, but following news of the game is gone for me. If the news would have been physics based on being hardcore in other games I would have been very excited.

I feel like so many people on OS are either supposed to be casual or hardcore... There's several on here who are mixed and because of other series, have a general knowledge of what physics, progressive lighting, sliders etc... are. They really dropped the ball IMO of even a casual gamer following on twitter, ign or here. Only reason I made it this far was to ask the question wasn't Kanye West Amazin on a previous 2K?

Okay you guys have to get off of this already, his evolvement goes beyond the sound track they said the had a huge impact on the overall look and feel of the game, I don't know what is so difficult for some of you to understand, if 2k is not showing gameplay we wont be able to see his actual effect on the game at this time, this is just 2k teasing which they do every year around this time,and every year the same people complain, when Jordan was announce they complained, when other legends were announced they complained, accept it some of you will never be happy.
