What a difference a year makes. For this basketball fan, last summer was painful. The NBA was in the midst of a lockout, the summer league was cancelled, free-agency was on hold and the prospect of missing a full season was all too real. By stark contrast, the Nike-penned motto "basketball never stops" which was conceived during that lockout, seems to be the theme this summer. Less than a month after the 2012 season ended, summer league began and then Olympic basketball shortly thereafter. With the Olympics now over, what has often been one of my favorite times of the year now begins: NBA 2K season.

The NBA 2K franchise currently stands at the pinnacle of video game basketball and, until NBA Live returns, has only itself for competition. This is a challenge the games’ developers seem to acknowledge, as they have repeatedly communicated a refusal to rest on their laurels but rather to push the envelope with each consecutive release. So what type of a difference has a year made for NBA 2K13? We are slowly finding out the details and they seem pretty legit.

So what am I looking for exactly? Here's my list of things that NBA 2K13 will have to do in order to 'win' this season for me...

I'd like for the tendencies to be redone. There were a lot of possessions where the AI would seem to wait until there's 5 seconds on the shot clock before launching a shot.

I think EA is going to get slaughtered this year.

Good stuff there Chris.

I can't lie I don't agree with the issues reported in the article:

SPACING (The court is too jammed)
PASSING (Floaty passes + exagerrated momentum)

these are most glaring weaknesses for me
