CNN Article: Giant Leap Forward

[ZoneBlitz]

So, towards the end of this article, there is mention of a giant leap forward.

Any idea what it is?

meaning they are trying to make the game better than 2k11 was , this could possible be the best 2k bball game released considering they used 2k12 as framework and just edited and polished it for a year

I wonder if they will have real time physics and animation.

I doubt it's much except a smoother game, and re-worked controls because Beluba said he didn't like the isomotion controls as they stood.

The article makes it sound gameplay-related, but I wouldn't look too much into it.

Isn't that just standard marketing? I'd imagine there are changes like every year but you can't derive any specifics from that.

I personally hope they keep the standing dribbles. Being able to rock the ball back and forth and create combos, was a great addition.

I would say let's no drive ourselves crazy thinking about all the possibilities or new gameplay features 2k13 will have, but I'll probably start doing that as soon as a gameplay video hits.

Hmm they did mention better crowd reactions. This is definitely needed.

Quote:

The megastar, whose real name is Shawn Carter, has been focusing his efforts on the game's presentation and entertainment elements away from the ball -- the music, crowd reactions and interactive in-game menus. He is part owner of the Brooklyn Nets, so his involvement is one that is personally appealing, he said.

Jay sits front row at games and knows how the crowd interaction is not what it should be in 2K basketball. I just thought of this they should have OKC crowd stand up until they make the first shot of the game. I know that this is a small detail but that is the type of crowd detail/presentation that might get overlooked.
