The Official NBA 2K13 Thread

[your flyness]

I posted this in Cheap Seats NBA@K thread also:

*First Impressions* (based off demo)

Graphics seem more polish, like the turn up the contrast or something

Gameplay feels more fluid

Notice new animation, like they were tweaked nothing too extravagant

You can tell they edited the character models, they seem "taller" in a good way though

Aww Shit Hop Step button is back, also Alley Oops have been remapped

Tried to do an head to head online match but it just kept searching. Hopefully thats not a sign that the servers still suck. They need to bring back unranked lobbies

what about fast breaks? inhuman defense? cheese? crazy 4th quarter come backs?

Cant really answer those from the Demo. Fast Breaks and Defense seem normal though. Expect hop step cheese to be back since its mapped to a single button again.

Good looks on the control layouts, I call myself tossing D.Wade an alley, didn't know they switched it and threw it right to Russell "I can't dress shit" Westbrook". Sometimes 2K unnecessarily switches the controls but I heard you have the option to play with last year's controls so we'll see.

One thing I will say this soundtrack is poppin' probably my favorite since 2K9 or 2K8 with those Dilla tracks.

[infamous118]

[kanggoodie]

Can we get a mod to merge the two.. cuz the 2k in cheap seats got a lot of views and posts already

[playmaker88]

The new control scheme .. wack.. i hope we can use the traditional joint

 

[Cutler 26 INT's LOL!]

It sure is...I was on a Fast Break wit LeBron and i normally used the shot stick to slam it home...nigga did a crossover dribble...

 

[VulcanRaven]

Just played the full game in BB but it was the 360 version and I could not get into it.The game feels horrible with that controller

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

Lol wtf with the wack ass controller set up.

 

[your flyness]

It sure is...I was on a Fast Break wit LeBron and i normally used the shot stick to slam it home...nigga did a crossover dribble...

If you hold L2 (Left trigger) it turns the dribble stick back into the shot stick.

Im going to use legacy configuration also though

Lol. Same shit with me. Ball in the paint wide open and Bosh or Ibaka or whoever are hesitate dribbling smh

 

[Cigarello Slim]

While playing online I noticed when dudes try that wack "take-a-charge-as-he-takes-the-ball-up-court" crap, they penalize it a bit. Everytime he went for it homeboy took a spill as I hit him with the hesitation move.

 

[infamous118]

Yeah I don't think i'm gonna be using the control stick. I kept fucking up and trying to shoot with the joystick. How do you do alley oops now? They changed it
