NBA 2K13 Hands-On Preview From 2K Sports Team Up (vannwolfhawk)


2K Sports Team Up and OS Forum member, vannwolfhawk has just posted his NBA 2K13 hands-on preview.

Quote:
The driving animations and contact in the paint and on drives is awesome! LeBron feels like LeBron now. He can outmuscle a Kevin Durant in different situations as well it should be, but it was balanced where Durant could still body up and stay with him if played correctly. I would see Durant getting knocked back at times, but not the other way around when facing each other. When LeBron would attack the rim you could feel his strength in getting to the hole. I saw some great animations with fouls that still ended up with players getting shots up. This was balanced well to as I did not see many, if any of them go in. You felt like LBJ when playing with him. There are also some great triple threat animations and bumping on the perimeter game between defender and ball handler before a dribble has been used. It is another risk/reward situation for a defender playing to close depending on skill and quickness of the player he is guarding.

I forgot to add and for me this was a big one!

http://www.operationsports.com/forum...endencies.html

The CPU AI when a lane opens will and should attack without the hesitation dribbles allowing a defender to recover. The CPU AI now has an attack to it when it comes off of picks and ball screens. So, less AND 1 stuff. I did discuss the changes that could be made in fixing this through the editing of tendencies and dribble moves and they were aware of it. So, you should see more simple drives and or all dribble moves used in all the correct situations this year.

Very good read Vannwolfhawk! Its good to know that the devs at least look at what we are saying and take them seriously, even if somethings are unachieveable. Its also nice to see the different reactions to various parts about what was seen and played. Its not like everything is all lollypops and sunshine like some other (who shall not be named lol) "insiders" say about other sports games.

Im excited!

Incredible write-up.

My favorite addition might be the players able to get hot. It's been missing in bball games since forever.

Question:
Did you see any issues with rebounding. Guys jumping straight up and bending their arms toward the ball instead of having their entire body jump towards the ball for rebounds? I've seen it in several videos and hoping to get an answer on it if any of you there noticed it as well.
