NBA 2K13: Pros and Cons Thus Far

[texasgmr]

I wish they did better with the presentation also, but it isn't going to take me away from the game. Just wish they would go for more of a tnt feel or something. BTW, great write-up.

I think this article should be titled pros and cons I found in a old build on NBA 2k13 and have no idea if they have been fixed, as for the dunk contest they said they were still working out how it would work the guitar hero type control was one they were experimenting with, and they claim that it is a lot of fun so I guess this con should be in titled we should wait and see. As for cross overs I believe you can control the speed, in the video they showed Beasley coming down with a down cross in order to sike the defensive player.

Don't be a 2K apologist, for their sake.

That just keeps making me mad: Things that have been totally correct and realistic have been removed now! Don't get it!

[Bulls321974]

The lack of realistic presentation is also something that I completely refuse. If there was a company that cared about presentation, it was 2K! What happened? Why does the game look so arcadish at times?

Great post. I 200% agree on this pros and cons.

And who is doing that, I don't agree with writing a pros and cons of a game we have yet to play and only based on 5 minute videos from a old build and the fact that we have people who have played a newer build and a another version exist beyond that , even the positives could be gone with tweaking going on at 2k studios, there are to many unknowns.

I have a problem with the presentation too. Feels so empty.... not only are you treated to a super cartoonish overlay with Mics and Bling everywhere but you cut to pregame rituals then straight to tipoff.

If 2K had the EA style of presentation and overlay including the ESPN license.

This game would literally be a GOTY candidate.

The article is merely about the author's pros and cons to what has been revealed about the game, not the pros and cons of the game itself. Its about what the author is excited about and not so excited about based on what has been revealed to this point. There is no matter of fact right now, only expectations based on information. We all have these things we are excited about and not so excited about; this author chose to speak about them.

I get that but if you look at some of the responses, some people are taking the article at face value, i have seen a few responses taking about how 2k did not fix this and that based on this article this is how mis-information get out.

Re: NBA 2K13: Pros and Cons Thus Far

I see what you're saying. Unfortunately that's how some people react to anything pertaining to 2K. I am sure that we will receive more than enough info over the next month to sufficiently satisfy all questions anyway.

[geisterhome]

great read! agree with almost everything.

I agree . I would love to have this , I know us the sim players would love it back , but it's the casual players who generally skip over it .

Let the casuals skip it. I mean 2K said the little things matter presentation needs this to have it a more realistic basketball game. Bring back the pa announcing home and away starting lineups is a big up to the presentation. 2K doesn't have to show this part of presentation every time, they could balance this out with other TNT integration. But having that in will make it simulation play

are you taking and getting all your evidence from videos you have seen, or have you actually played the game?

[TreyIM2]

Another con? Too many Gamescon vids. Yeck. I want a current build vid or 4 so I can more accurately judge but, the biggest con is no demo yet
I'm excited as hell about this game. Can't wait to check out the new controls. Tired of replaying Live 10 as prep. Lol...
