NBA 2K13 Gameplay Video - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat

[TreyIM2]

Going off the looks of this, it pretty much still LOOKS like 12 aside from some contact physics but even then, it's hard to discern. I just want this game in my hands with the controls cuz that will make me a happy man but some of the passing especially the players' proximity being ridiculously close yet no reaction from the D when those passes are being attempted made me cringe a bit.

I want to see more hand swipes involved by the D when checking players or a player gets past his defender and another player defending someone else sees this such then swipes at the ball, especially in those close proximity passing moments.

Fadeaways and stepbacks still look meh.

Everything else looked solid. Just want to get my hands on it to see how responsive it really is.

Re: NBA 2K13 Gameplay Video - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat

So far from what im seeing, is that this game 2k13 plays almost exactly like the UNPATCH version of 2k12. I swear man some of the moves that im seeing in this video are already in 2k12, but are in the DAY 1 no patch version of 2k12. The smoothness and the players feel like they have weight onthem just like 2k12 without the patch.

Also let me say that im not impressed. Yes im happy its another nba 2k game and im sure once i play it i will notice the differences,but this game is 2k12 all over again. You people were givin a patch that made2k12 play stiff, and certain animations were taken out to adjust to the newstiff patch version.

Since most of you play with the PATCHED version of this game you wouldn’t understand

i will be getting the game, but probly later during christmas. So ill stay focused on 2k12 till then

Ok...

I think it looks good! It definetly looks smoother and I'm also loving the physics bumping.
After some tendency and ratings tweaks by our amazing gurus here on this forum it looks like the game is gonna play great!

Really like how the camera pans out and then zooms back in as the ball is being walked up court. Very subtle, yet nice presentation touch.

User was able to "force field" his way into the paint more than I would like with spins, although there were also some encouraging moments where the user was met with apporpriate resistance like at 1:50. I felt like there was appropriate contact with Wade driving into the paint and then forcing up a tough shot that went in.

Overall, feels like game speed is a tad too fast as somebody had mentioned, maybe a few clicks down from default should be fine.

When the ball was tipped around 4:40 and led to the Miami break, I feel like in real life LeBron would have had the speed to get past, or at least get into the hip of Gasol. He seemed a bit slower than I would have liked there.

the cam pans in & out in 2k12..

Seriously we saw 1 shot made of 3 with the clock at 1, and it was by a guy that has been know to make that type of shot his whole career, relax.

Re: NBA 2K13 Gameplay Video - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat

Wow, I just watched the gameplay again, and I missed a lot of stuff...Kobe goes up for the block but is knocked back by Lebron. Love it.

I just went through the video and caught that. I really liked how natural it looked.

It's 2012. How are you still playing on the side view. They have a 2k camera.

You say that like the 2K camera is new. It's not.

Re: NBA 2K13 Gameplay Video - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat

Eh, still reserving judgment. Looks ok so far. The wade missed alley isn't very realistic though. Also kobe's missed dunk was kind of questionable. I don't have a problem with him missing dunks, but he shouldn't of been trying to dunk like that in the first place. He doesn't do that as much anymore, when will 2k learn that? I'd rather see him doing simple 2 hand dunks around traffic, and OCCASIONALLY throwing down a hard nasty dunk. So far the game looks decent though. I also wish it was a sim head playing as well.

The 2k camera is ugly to me. Broadcast view makes it look like a whole different game...much better looking and reminds me of real life basketball.

Re: NBA 2K13 Gameplay Video - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat

Really don't like how Wade just causes both Kobe and Nash to slide out of the way on the drive at 10:26. Looks a lot like the Manu sliding we saw in the first gameplay video. I thought that was fixed already but we're seeing something similar here.

Also some of the passing animations look a bit jerky. Like they don't take into account what the players were doing or how they were moving previously. And like others have mentioned, the passing animation often doesn't match the speed of the pass or the distance of the pass. It'd also be nice if the close passing animation actually looked like they were trying to wrap around defenders if they're close or in the way.

Nitpicking the hell out the footage lol..if you don't like it that much you might as well pass on this years game.

Game looks ALOT better than 2k12 so I can't knock it too much.

Its a video game..everything is not going to look 100% realistic..especially when non-nba players are controlling them. I expect a few unrealistic moments in videogames...overall the game looks great and I think it will be the best b ball game ever as far as the balance of realistic and fun. The controls alone will make this game a blast if it is good as it looks.

I am continually baffled by people who take offence to people merely pointing out what they don't like about the game. It wasn't nickpicking. It was a mere description of things that stood out to me. Trust me, if I was nitpicking, my post would be much longer.

Can you actually dispute any of the things I have pointed out or are you just a guy who's excited for a new car he's about to buy and attacking anyone who's pointing obvious flaws in it?

I don't think anyone expects a video game to be 100% realistic but I don't think it's nitpicking to expect the game to be realistic as it can be on the system it is currently on, and with the few problems I have noted (which fixing wouldn't require power beyond the current-gen systems) to be fixed.

Game looks great to me. I was slightly disappointed in some of the collision animations, but the dribbling looks really awesome and it seems like the FG%s are actually pretty realistic, which is normally not the case on default sliders. Can't wait baby!

Re: NBA 2K13 Gameplay Video - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat

I think it's safe to say this engine and version of consoles have run their coarse, I think after watching this vid over and over, yea it might be a fun game but then I ask my self will I have more fun than I do with 2k8...

People still think that game is fun? That's a surprise.

Well Optik....to me It doesn't look that bad at all....to answer to your question:

>Passing is worse than in the gamescon videos, looks exactly like 2K12, still too much floating passing, >unrealistic passing motion, you don't see any wrist-snapping.
I've played 2k12 a lot.....passing seems improved, there are less floaty pass than 2k12. Also manual bounce pass is a must for me. They assigned one engineer just for this aspect of the game...can't be worse than 2k12. Let's wait the DEMO at least....I'm sure retail 2k13 passing will be awesome.

>Battier doesn't shoot like that, 2K when are you going to get it right?
You can assign a new sig shot but I'm sure you know that ^^
