NBA Live 13 Gameplay Video - Miami Heat vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

[actuallybrown]

Problem: That's not the last NBA Street game, so I'm not sure where you pulled those metacritic scores from.

point taken. In 2007, I was busy playing 2K and other out-of-genre games, so I must've missed this.

Re: NBA Live 13 Gameplay Video - Miami Heat vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

My dude people are in the 2K forums right now talking about buying this game that we don't even know is going to be on shelves or online because of a missing feature from 2K that isn't a core feature. If that ain't over the top, I don't know what to tell you. 2K doesn't get a pass for anything especially not more than Live. I'm not even trying to come at you right now cause I see you're new here, but you need to do some research and read up on things before you say anything about it. EA has been sticking it to people with this franchise and just basketball in general going on about eight or nine years now and you see the posts in here that are defending it. We just talked about in here the double standard that goes on cause 2K's feet are to the fire for EVERY single issue they have with their game. 2K catches hell for being the 'same old stale game' around here despite the fact it's the premier simulation basketball experience while people defend hot garbage like what's in this video in question. To paraphrase Jay-Z 'do not bark up that who get's a pass tree, cause that tree will fall on you.'

Ok, not as new here as you think lol, and 2k does get more love than hate, but has all the same problems. Graphics,presentation comes down to personal taste,but both games have their problem's, rebounding, passing, off ball ai movement, fast break logic, help defense, blocking, rubber band effect, sliding, morphing, cheesing, clipping all problems and the list goes on. And I'll leave the controls alone, but the one place 2k shines are animations and sigs that's why people don't rip it as hard as live. Both games at the core have alot of the same problems, another example is the defender that recovers no matter what, pump fake, he goes airborne and somehow gets in front of you... it's in both games. At the core both games have had the same problems for years period.

Yea their priorities are all messed up if they were braging about 100 hours on faces lol.

I admit the faces do look good but too bad the models are way off.

Spend 100+ hours on gameplay and brag about that!

Lucky you, Homecourt was terrible in comparison to the previous games.

Dis Game look like **** wouldnt get it even if on 2k u still had to press R1 to do a crossover I mean u would think that if you 2 years 2 develop that u would make the shot look signature to the player and gameplay look real dudes was skatin whole vid don't get me wrong presentation looked great had me hype but when KD came on my screen he looked like meek mill wit da fade he had and LBJ look like the EA developers picked up a thug off the street I given it a 1/10

" 100 hours on each player’s face.” Yup a hundred hours.....

Edit: Why is 2k being brought up?

Every time anyone brings up a deficiency in Live, Live fans always bring up 2K. Instead of trying to have meaningful conversation about the problems and trying to think of a way to fix them they always deflect and blindly defend Live. This is the reason why Live is going downhill, true hardcore fans are to busy defending them instead of calling for action.

Re: NBA Live 13 Gameplay Video - Miami Heat vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

The video was bad no fight there , but I could make a long list on 2k that people over look because it animates well. AI, warping, sliding, fast break logic, rebounding,passing, and on and on, commentary adds little to live game action, it's good but more of a history lesson. Any way both should be held to the same standard. With that 2k13 looks to be really good this year but I'll wait for the demo.

lol, so i guess you forgot to make or check that list when you played live 10 cause it had poor poor animations, warping, crazy ai sliding, paint contact/ dribbling in paint was weird, passing was jacked after patch, and on on on on on that game as well my friend!

Stop bringing up 2K.

Re: NBA Live 13 Gameplay Video - Miami Heat vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

Exactly what he said, he means no competent basketball player would keep their dribble in their right hand while going to the left sideline.

Exactly!! so as a competent gamer with total control at your disposal flick the stick to the left. Very simple sounds pretty "Sim" to me. Elite was the first skill based game, you could bet money on that game, kinda like real life. If the person had a good understanding of basketball and a mastery of the total control it was a pretty deep and engaging experience. I played that demo religiously. I've also played a ton of NBA 2K.

Skill based at the detriment to sim basketball you mean. When all it takes is timing your shot to make a three with anyone a la the three-point contests in NBA 2K and NBA Live something is wrong here. "Pretty deep and engaging" you say? If the controls are unintuitive then depth means nothing in a video game. Elite tried too hard to be different when standardization was the better course of action. I played the Elite demo and watched the footage, I wasn't impressed. Deep down inside I bet EA wasn't either, and they shouldn't be.

e lite was based off of a hockey game and had everybody from boozer to bynum jumping from the freaking ft line

It wasn't a basketball sim

Some of you guys need to stop now because its clear you have no idea what youre taking about and you know who you are

Can you elaborate on what you mean by keeping the dribbling hand when going to the sidelines? I'm curious to know what kind of feedback you gave them for elite 11.

I was there and what he means is when players change direction, they usually cross the ball over to keep their body in between the ball and defender. It's a natural move that most players don't have to think about. It was something asked for back in 1998 and was in every single game until Elite 11 where they decided you had to use both sticks to perform this maneuver.

if you are referring to the shooting mechanics in Elite 11 vs. 2K you are sadly mistaken. The shooting in 2K leaves me baffled im not really sure what constitutes a miss or a make. Is it timing, ratings, momentum, hand in the face(Not being sarcastic, enlighten me)? Its hard to really say. In Elite there was the shooting gauge that was pretty spot on and if any of the above mentioned factors were applied the shot was affected accordingly. If the controls are so unintuitive how come they are being used in 2K13?

Need to stop what expressing an opinion? Last time I checked that was the purpose of a Forum. Dude build a bridge an get over yourself, I understand you feel burned by EA an all but you are not the only one that plays videogames other people perspectives and opinions matter it takes a bigger person to view something through another persons eyes and not your own. With that said you never played a complete version of Elite, if Bynum and Boozer did that in a Retail game then you got it otherwise you dont know what your talking about. Animations dont make a game sim it adds to the illusion of a real basketball game being broadcast on tv which translates better to a certain type of player but its not sim dont get it twisted. IMO Stats make a game sim, as well as graphics and attention to detail. For a creative player which Live leans toward, total control allows the freedom to perform those animations sort of how a real player performs dribble moves in rhythm in real life. Can this not be considered simulation(makes you wonder why 2K adopted this)? I guess it begs the question what is the definition of a Simulation. Give credit where credit is due, dont just tip the scales to 2K.
