Speaking of 2k12, are dribble pull-ups back like 2k12, or is it the same slow pullups from 2k13?

You mean momentum shots/ leaners?

Like the one two pull up shots, in 2k12 you held the LT or L2 and pushed the right stick the direction you want to pull up from. Think of the dirk signature one foot shots.

Hello DaWolf:

How is the post game? Are Post Fadeaways and Post Hooks usable like in NBA 2K12? Also did anyone get any new jumpshots? I know LeBron got his mo capped and all but did wade, bosh, parker duncan get anything new? Thanks for sharing

They are "useable " in 2k13! They are ratings based and have specific release points like jumpshots

What do we know about the next-gen version? Is it supposed to be a completely different game (presentation, modes, etc.)?

I mean what should make us by the next gen vs. the current gen one?

Sucks that we keep getting preset quick release jumpers instead of the fully controlled ones we had in 2k8. Seems like they want to keep jumpshots "accessible " also like in 2k12 and 13. SMH

I want Crew info so I can know if I'll cancel or keep my preorder. That is all.

Man playing defense sounds like you don't have to catch a bullet with your teeth anymore LOL

What about signature dribbling?

Catching bullets with your teeth..Man that ain't nothing Jersez

playing D in 2k13 was much harder

Thanks for the impressions DaWolf- In your short play sessions did 2k14 feel like a neccessary pick up if you already have 2k13? I think the defense alone may justify it..

If u like bball you should get 2k regardless if created players can be online unless u casual player of course

Got to say although I was disappointed at first that there didn't seem to be much new in presentation, the fact that the gameplay has been improved is really starting to grow on me. Still in heavy debate about whether to get this gen or next.

Two part question.
Did the dribbling on the pro stick flow better? I felt it was a little stiff and slow just to switch hands back and forth while standing still. Was there anything signature about the dribbling unlike last year where everyone did the same animations.

That's how I'm feeling, people are saying it's a patched 2k13 and I really can't argue that, but 2k13 if you add defense and make finishing in the paint harder, that sounds nice.

And I'm not saying I'm okay with minimal fixes and devs not creating a different experience. I'm just saying I like some things from 2k13.

I usually find that even minor improvements in NBA 2K feel like major improvements compared to other more stagnant sports franchises. Presentation is already amazing so I can forgive them if it feels the same.

Hearing that defense and passing speed feels noticeably better makes me happy. Making spacing adjustable sounds like a very good idea that I hope they follow through with.

That's what I'm saying, I think part of the problem is the lack of graphical improvements and presentation improvements as well, if 2k14 looked noticeably better than 2k13 people wouldn't have a problem with what some are calling a "patch".

The devs fix huge issues we don't pat them on the back we call it a patch, passing has been terrible forever in 2k basketball games lol, contact has never been realistic or without canned-animations. To me when the demo drops and people experience it for themselves is when their opinions will change.

Am all in for having as many options as possible to adapt the game, so it fits each of our own unique views on how the videogame should simulate the NBA experience, for online and offline modes.

Here is to hope for that (being able to alter: the recovery on the perimeter and on the paint, the amount of offball movement, to run or walk when bringing the ball up, etc).
