NBA 2K13 Video - Impressions From 2K Sports Team Up Event (KspadeTheProspect)

[sham242]

Thanks for the information shared. Really good stuff. I know you guys only got an slice of the whole pie but just wondering did any convo come up about online play and the servers? I would play any 2K game put out. I've been playing 2k since dreamcast days. That's all i would like to know. Are they aware of the online issues and doing anything about it? I know it may be too early for this question but still asking. Thanks in advance

passing was a little slow, and Shake found a issue with pump faking. It would make you inch forward

As long as you aren't traveling I don't see the issue lol , just kidding. Glad to see there aren't any major issues besides the easy alley opps and the turbo speed thing, one of which I hear is fixed already.

One thing I will say is that Vannwolfhawk really seems to have repped himself and OS by extension to the fullest. Most of the other invitees have commented on how great he was to interact with and how he really knew his stuff. Thats a good look. Good on you Vann.

With the clutch rating gone those last second 24 second clock shots and the magical 12-0 3rd quarter run should be gone?!

Nice, I thought I caught a glimpse of that in some of the Germany footage, so I'm glad that was brought up. I feel like the "inching pumpfake" used to be an issue on older 2K's as well.

the slow passing disturbs me....i should be able to whip the ball around considering 2k has always been passing lane steal friendly, and iffy on the spacing.

We all said it and talked to devs about passing speed. It was improved though and so was spacing! Spacing was 100x better. But the passing speed ties into more than just turning up the pass speed, it effects the receiver of the pass and those animations along with other aspects that could cause problems in other areas. We are hoping for a small improvement in polishing 13 and then hopefully it's 100% fixed in 14 with a pressure sensitive passing scheme? :-)

vannwolfhawk, did any of you ask the devs if there's a good reason why they don't roll out patches more frequently? There were lots of things in 2K12 that could've been fixed by rolling out more than one, two patches for a full year?

M$ only allows two patches and anything beyond that it will be out of 2k's pocket. If I remember patches are expensive....

Yeah, I read something about that, that's why some companies might hide patches in DLCs or not release any further at all.

How come alot of other companies release more patches then? Do they spring for them themselves?

You do realize that patches take time and doing multiple patches would affect development for the next game.

And then you throw the lockout in last year along with no competition with ea. I would almost guarantee 2 patches this year.

Yes I realize that but 2K have been very hesitant to answer to issues that still remain after a patch has been released. They should be able to push out at least 3-4 patches during the year in order to fix some problems, imo.

But, like someone else said, it costs money to release patches and i don't know all the politics behind it all but it usually feels like they don't bother to listen to problems in gameplay after December each year.
