Re: 2K13 MEM vs. OKC gameplay sequences

That's actually not true. Configuration of coach profiles dictated the CPU's transition attack on offense.

Well it didn't work well. I bagged single player after a week do to the CPU always pulling back and running a long winded play that eventually ended in a last second forced shot.

Unless I didn't give it enough time, it did not play well single player last year in my mind.

But hay, maybe you messed with the sliders and setting for 15 hours and made something work.

Re: 2K13 MEM vs. OKC gameplay sequences

And people wonder why these companies limit showing off their game. After a while, people just start to nitpick the hell out of the game. 40 inches dude? Really? Height wasn't the problem. Facing and trajectory? Maybe. But you said it yourself, the more you see, the more you find to complain about. You should take a break from viewing the game, or you'll convince yourself to hate the game before you even play it. Unless you were already convinced, of course.

2K12 had similar rebounding animations where the player went off a launch pad regardless of vertical rating. The number 40 was obvious sarcasm which I guess you didn't get.

I like 2K12 while most of the community hates it irrationally, so why would I "hate" 2K13? Stop being defensive and put your guard down.

And just because there is a setting or slider for something, that doesn't mean it actually works in-game. See: MADDEN

Can anybody translate the "NEW" feature on the paused screen @5:21

It says "Habilidades Personales". which means Personal Skills. Most likely, the Signature Skills menu.

No, what you didn't get is that I clearly recognized it as an exaggeration, and said height wasn't the issue with that rebound.

And as for you not liking the game, I didn't say that either. I was just covering the bases of my last statement just in case. Read it again.

All I'm saying is that these videos are put out to enjoy and to evaluate. This is obvious. But it gets to a point where "evaluate" to some becomes only "critiquing". And that's a buzz kill frankly.

What you said about rebounding is important. We've seen a LOT of videos so far. Have we really seen the old vertical issue that often? I don't think so. Does that mean its gone for good. I doubt it. But the issue seems to have been addressed noticeably and that's a good thing, right?

And I agree about the irrational hate of 2k12. That game was a victim of expectations.

I really hope excessive dribbling like that gets penalized.

Totally agree. But how do you fairly penalize it?

Re: 2K13 MEM vs. OKC gameplay sequences

I'm glad we can easily sub again!! peep @2:33

That really is wonderful news. I always wondered what could have possibly possessed 2K to switch to the system they implemented in 2K12.

someone stated that they noticed in one of the videos that over dribbling drains stamina, so maybe thats how they countered, guy will burn out more quickly!

Overdribbling in 2k12 drains stamina and i think stamina is a bigger factor this year so they'll probably lose all the juice

lose the ball and it was obvioius his fatigue meter depleted before that first rudy gay score. He should have lost the ability to do AND 1 moves at that point

Re: 2K13 MEM vs. OKC gameplay sequences

I'm more concerned on how easy it is to spin dribble to the basket...hopefully in higher difficulties there would be more contact initiated.

I disagree with you on multiple points;
First of all, he can decide for himself if he can watch videos and doesn't need your advice. Second of all, he can critique the game all he want, if YOU get a buzzkill from that, then don't read it. Just because you don't like people not being positive about a game, doesn't mean everyone has to adjust so that you feel well. Third, yes we haven't seen this kind of rebounding a lot, but a lot of the videos we saw were distributed by 2K (not all, I know, Gamescom) so they will make sure (and I don't blame them) to make the game look as fine as they can in those videos. So when you see in a video like this, which is made to promote the game, and you notice an issue from last year that certainly means something. It's as if you watch a movie trailer and see a camera through a mirror, what must that mean for the real movie?

Finally, I myself am very psyched for this game, I like the gameplay and gamemode improvements so far, and overall I'm very positive and think this can be a better game than NBA 2K11 (to me, the best NBA 2K game so far). But that doesn't mean people can't critique certain issues that were there in previous installments of the game.
