Jus going by watching the video. I must say I dnt see much. I didn't really see what I wanted to see on the defensive end. Also maybe it was jus user error but I didn't see any break off animations when the defense cuts you off and rides you through the animation. Didn't really see any real speed difference. However with that said everyone says that the feel is diffferent so I will judge for myself with the demo. I'm also hoping to see more space on the offensive end, players cutting to the hole kinda worries me cause thats what messed up the spacing last yr. Now the two players from 2k that were playing were terrible, so hopefully thats all user error, since I didn't see them run any plays. But overall jus going by the vid I must say I'm unimpressed. So we shall see.

Man some of you guys are way too hard on the game. They are only given one year to improve the game. Having said that nba 2k13 looks a lot better than 2k12. what more do you want?

[piccolomair]

my thoughts
Positives-
-Animations (smooth)
-Pace(you could tell they wanted to push the ball, but the a.i. defense did a good job of getting back to a position to stop those plays. In fact the only time it really worked was when it was a guy like wade pushing the break).
-Physical play (lots of nice collisions, didnt see any warps or animations forcing guys to drive past defenders)

Negatives
-Passing (Not a lot of regular chest passes or bullet passes. Not sure if the latter is even possible. Bounce passes might be a cheese as well. Passes generally looked floaty and slow. At least they seemed more accurate)
-Defense (there were a few plays where ronnie or ld2k would play off ball defense as opposed to onball defense. I thought one of the points was to have players WANT to play ON-BALL defense more.
-Unstoppable up and under moves cheese (i utterly utterly hated them in 2k12, and i saw guards doing the same moves here.....if its a foul or basket every time then im gonna hate it)

I dont care much about accessories and stuff like that cuz they can literally change that whenever they want in the year (they talked about part of the new game systems perks are that they can now implement changes to the game and accessories seamlessly through updates, something they lacked in previous games).

Gonna have to play the demo to really see how many of the positives and negatives are real....just a few more days

[EarlDAPearl85]

alot of positives but one area that stood out the most from the vid was the new collision system crazy
and the negative part that stood out was sum of the players cyberfaces Durant, Ibaka, Wade SMH super ugly!

Yep those were the two that I hated the most. With on ball d being the most important to me.

When the NBA releases warp passing technology it will fix this issue in NBA 2K5,003

I have no problem with people freelancing against me. I try to play like what ever team I'm playing with, I had a stretch in 2K12 were I was playing with the Warriors. I pushed it alot, even off some makes that's how they play. I would push the ball up the court if I had a look take it, if not then I ran my offense.

Being a Warriors fan is not conducive to improving overall on court basketball knowledge. lol.

After watching how the game was played in the 4th quarter, I now understand why the game was meant for casual players who force the paint instead of playing sim ball.

Now I'm getting Scared, this is the 2nd demo I've seen with multiple missed dunks, first demo was the Lakers vs. Heat, Wade missed a basic ally-oop and Kobe missed a dunk all by himself.


Please tell me uncontested dunks are in an equation of shot difficulty, if you can get up there it isn't that difficult to execute.

This can probably be easily fixed with sliders so don't worry about it.

I just love seeing the game! Hope can get one more full game video before release! Preferably before the demo!

Agreed. Blown dunks aren't very common in the NBA, kinda like broken ankles. There are maybe a dozen or two a season, and they always wind up on blooper reels and SportsCenter's Not Top 10.

I love 2K logic: contested 3's and midrange jumpers are cool, but uncontested layups and dunks? No can do. I lost count of how many dunks bounced out and layups hit the bottom of the rim in 2K12.

Id argue that blown dunks arent very common because most players dont just try to dunk every single time. Stamina does play a lot into whether or not you can get up there. In essence, if in the game the blown dunks are happening because the user is holding down the turbo button to finish aggressively (activating the dunk command) and then blowing the dunk, i feel that is accurate. Smarter players would learn not to abuse the turbo button or try to dunk the ball every time unless you are on of the special players who can (lebron, blake griffin, dwight howard).

Not all 7 footers are capable of dunking every single time, just like not all athletic freaks (derrick rose for example) dunk every time.

I guess 2k could have just designed it so that if your stamina wasnt high enough you do a layup automatically, but i feel this method might be better suited for users to adapt a reward/punishment concept when constantly just attacking the rim.

cmon man, having bounce passes is awesome because it adds a fundamental element to the game. But no one is gonna want to have the ability to throw 100% accurate passes every single damn time. Westbrook shouldnt be throwing dimes like hes steve nash. We love having the bounce pass ability, we just want to make sure its not going to turn into a chesse mechanism (and vice versa; no one wants a completely innacurate bounce pass system that simply cant be used)

I think its better to complain and mention it now, especially considering how much 2k loves community feedback, because that way they can do some quick tune ups before the game is officially released.

Its not like people have been crying that they should take bounce passes out....if that happened then you would be right with peoples reactions...

You know it COULD be a function of fatigue and dunk difficulty.
