NBA 2K13's Keys to Victory

[Slava Medvadenko]

Great article. I agree with pretty much everything, especially bringing back combines and training camp in MP and your points about player movement.

So true about offensive rebounding. Just for fun, I put in a lineup of two Centers, and a PF and the computer still got 13 off. rebounds to my 1. Now that's crazy.

There are rosters/sliders that really help on that department. Try Tomba roster/sliders set and the Sim World's project's ones.

I would but I'm in too deep with my association, going into year 6. But, I'll be downloading rosters in 2k13.

So what am I looking for exactly? Here's my list of things that NBA 2K13 will have to do in order to 'win' this season for me...

"Win" what? In the competition vs. an EA Sports NBA release? If so, it won't even be close.

I agree with almost everything except, I hated the "live ball" concept at times the ball was knocked loose too easily and you still had to screw around with the settings and things too much.

[Joobieo]

All very good ideas, I hope they actually follow through in the game with these changes.

Again, sliders has nothing to do with the AI's ability to rebound. It's an AI issue. If the AI is programmed to go after the boards, it will.

Nice write up here.

Rosters & sliders combo do help a lot in the rebound department. I'am not making stuff up, I just talk by experience.

[TheLetterZ]

It's a good list of suggestions, but does NBA 2K13 REALLY have to do those things to "win?"

Come on. They'd win without doing any of those things.

[thetalkofanation]

Can not wait to get this game and straight own people. Be on virgingaming gettin that money baby.

Re: NBA 2K13's Keys to Victory

VERY GOOD post i must say the gameplay, new controls, online from the gate no lagging glaring issues from online.Online has to be on point. We need the online leagues,tournaments,and i hate to say this but for the ppl who likes crew mode besides me to work properly for online, the CLASSIC MODE most definitely they givin us the USA teams this game will put LIVE 13 or watever EA is duin concerning BASKETBALL in the GRAVE

2k12 needs to be put in the grave. I'm thinking 2k13 will bury every other basketball game for good.

I can't lie I don't agree with the issues reported in the article:

SPACING (The court is too jammed)
PASSING (Floaty passes + exagerrated momentum)

these are most glaring weaknesses for me

Spacing was bad but if you told your team to spread the floor they did a reasonable job. As far as passing goes I don't remember a game in the last 5 years where it was worse so they can only go up from here.

I think EA is going to get slaughtered this year.

I'm kind of doubting whether there will even be a "this year" for NBA Live.

With 2k, you know we'll get an improvement to gameplay somehow, someway -- they've never let us down there for the most part. But online... not the game... but online.... online needs to be fixed. Strengthen up the servers like every other game out there and give commish controls in OA and they'd be set. Online leagues is the future (which is pretty much NOW) and in order to grasp the large numbers of gamers who love leagues, those two things need to be fixed.

Other than that, I agree with everything else. NIce article.
