Re: NBA 2K13 Features 92 Dream Team & 2012 Olympic Team

LOL. No they wont. I will use the buttons to shoot like I always will and will learn the dribble stick by playing games. I'm not going to spend any time learning the new controls.

God, I swear for as many of you that complain about 2k's marketing...you guys have NO marketing or PR skills. "NBA 2K13 : NOW WITH NEW CONTROLS!!!"

NBA 2K13

Feature List

-Less Defensive Sliding! Defenders no longer slide back into place when you hit them with the ill crossover!
-Working Double Teams! Gone are the days where you can iso the CPU with stars and the stand helpless!
-More Working Features! MyPlayer mode no longer has alphabetic drafts; Player Updates work right this year; NBA Today updates won't corrupt anything!
-Online Modes Work Out of the Box! No longer will you need to wait 6-8 months for a website to show all your friends the many angles of that time you yammed on 'em!

Yeah.... this is why they don't market this stuff.

For whatever it's worth, I've used nothing but classic teams since April. And prior to that, it was just about an even split (between current and classics).

And for this reason, I am very confused about the exclusion of Pippen and the fact that Barkley will NOT appear on any classic teams, only the Dream Team.

I'm very satisfied with this announcement.

Re: NBA 2K13 Features 92 Dream Team & 2012 Olympic Team

The media is satisfied with the amount of info its getting. You arent. Its always a slow burn with 2k. We have 6 weeks til release. They will slowly release info like they always have,

I'm actually okay with not hearing that much about the heavier modes and gameplay that much till Sept and I don't care about crew.

I get that July to August is made up with "buzz announcements" for 2k and I liked the Jay Z announcement and see his value going forward even though 2K isn't saying to much about him.

I'm mostly just trying to comprehend what effect or value the dream team has in the game besides the one play lure of 2012 vs Dream Team. A mode where we could take on various past USA Olympic teams using the Dream team would be nice.

Well, the hex editors can just get his cyberface id and upload him on 2k share. Then, the roster makers could add him to the 92-93 Suns. But I hope people could still hex edit in 2k13.

Why r ppl assuming pippen wanted more and wasnt offered less?

Doesnt that effectively lead to the same point? He wanted more money, either it was from an ego thing or he thought he was low balled, it still comes down to more money.

Again I'll go back to what I posted earlier saying that when an announcement is "huge," people hope for something substantial.

And of course the Dream Team is the greatest team in the history of basketball, I'm not saying they aren't. BUT, 2K is USING THEM AS A GIMMICK to sell more copies to casual gamers.

Im not exactly sure how its not huge then

Re: NBA 2K13 Features 92 Dream Team (With Barkley, No Pippen) & 2012 Olympic Team

I'm happy to see the Dream Team in the game. They better put the Legends and Olympic teams in Teamup though!

Maybe everyone should tweet @ScottiePippen telling him how you would like to see him in the game. Twitter is a powerful tool, maybe he gets the point and gets a deal done!

Re: NBA 2K13 Features 92 Dream Team (With Barkley, No Pippen) & 2012 Olympic Team

Maybe he was low balled. My point was that dont drag his name in the dirty if you dont know what was offered

Re: NBA 2K13 Features 92 Dream Team (With Barkley, No Pippen) & 2012 Olympic Team

Who knows what Pippen wanted, I've met him before and he isn't the most likable and easy going guy.

Either way, here's to hoping he can be edited in.

That is what the Dream Team is supposed to look like. No generic shoes. Malone isn't ****-diesel. Ewing and Robinson have high-top fades. Larry is clean cut.

It looks like 2K put minimal effort into this "huge announcement". They just used old player faces from 2K11 and 12, same shoes from 12, only added Barkley (who looks way too muscular btw) while subtracting Pippen, and made some new jerseys. Whooptie-freaking-doo!

I am a harsh critic of NBA 2K because I love NBA 2K, kinda like a son. And so far, 2K, you have brought shame upon this family.

Yeah, I mentioned this a few pages back but to repeat, I thought 2K did a pretty solid job of taking classic players who initially looked inaccurate in early footage of 2K12 and shaping them up by release. This obviously doesn't mean it's a certainty they'll do the same this year, but I'm hopeful.

Meanwhile, I actually do think Karl Malone's pretty diesel. He was trimmer back then, but still a brick.



Lastly, I'm kind of curious how they'll handle the shoes. I imagine it'll be tough to outfit any of those guys unless 2K included each of their era-specific models. Even in retirement, I don't think it's free reign for 2K to place whatever sort of shoes they wish onto the feet of these players.

I'm sure they will be able to, but teams on 2K Share and teams included in the original game are quite different. Unless guys have figured out a way to add new courts as well as jerseys.

The PC version will be epic as it was this year but it usually takes half a season to pass before any big updates are released.

Really hope Pippen is on the classic bulls at least

Will be fun to try the dream team but I really liked playing as the real classic teams
