NBA 2K13 Video - Another Quick Clip From Gamescom

[brza37]

No real new info in the video's commentary. But here's what he said anyway.

Teh guy playing said he usually only plays the PC version and that the PS3 version that he's playing looks a lot better than 2k12's PC version. He also mentions the Dribble Stick is good but will probably take getting used. He says its a must-buy for him.

Then at about 1:23 he says that other sports games could learn something about presentation from 2k. He says the overlays, cutaways and commentary is phenomenal.

Then at the end the guy with the mic talks about how the game has already gotten great reviews according to the huge layout on the booth and finds it funny that the game has already gotten so many reviews when it doesn't come out for over 2 months.

yeah, it's still hard to tell from such a small sampling, but the movements still seem to have that sluggish feel from 2k12...slow acceleration, slow directional changes, lack of explosiveness. but, like i said, it's still a small sampling so i'm not jumping to any conclusions yet.

i was hoping in 2k13 they'd bring back those quick, responsive movements from 2k11, but it's looking closer to 2k12 in terms of the slow-feeling movement. the problem i had with 2k12 was that none of the movements seemed to have a sense of urgency. the players always moved at this medium pace like they were doing practice drills rather than playing a full-speed nba game. it seems like the process of trying to smooth out the movement in 2k12 forced the game to have that slower feel.

That was the user controlling him and he took him out of bounds before switching to Bosh

Oh lol. my bad.

Anyway, I like the switching in defense. Can really see the improvements in defense. Still a bit awkward with the blocking animation but the game really looks good.

I believe the guy moved DWade on his own by accident.
Other than that, the first thing that jumped at me are the improvement in the graphics. I like.
Also, I noticed Westbrook was pointing things out like calling a play or something while he was bringing up the ball. Pretty sure that wasn't here the past 2 games.
Oh btw new Durant sigshot at 1:08

The CPU actually missed some shots?!?!?! That will be a pleasant surprise if this sample is consistent.

It's the guy playing that does it.

Looking at the bench, it appears James Harden got a much needed graphical update.
