NBA 2K13 Gameplay Video - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat

[youvalss]

I've noticed that the swoosh (nothing but net) sound is so much better than 2K11/2K12's (check at 2:18 when Nash makes the 3). Finally it sounds like the real thing.

By the way, first time I see Nash fixing his hair (7:12). Did previous 2K's have it?

^^^ yes, with the finger licking animation as well.

Also, while some 2K camera players complain that it's harder to run their offenses when I force them to play on Broadcast, no one's been able to dispute that it's much easier to play defense from the Broadcast view.

The bounce pass on the break by Nash at around the 5:50 mark...WOW!!

I liked the different ways they walked the ball up the court and players were pointing out where other teammates should go etc...

Crowd still the same, hope they work on this!

I didn't like how the Lakers never tried to post up Howard deep in the post against Miami, who has no size for him. I only saw him grab one rebound too which was a shame. Nash grabbed most of the rebounds oddly enough. Overall, the dominant big men appear to be no factor again (on offense) in the game if the AI is using them which sucks. I saw many times where I as a player would have passed it to Howard as he cut to the paint for an easy dunk.

Was it just me, or did the ball look funny when it went in the basket? Like the net looked different...last year it looked great with the variety of ways the ball went in the rim, just looked funny to me on this video.

I liked how it appeared you can't cheese the crossovers with the right stick to get around anyone. The AI had very good on-ball defense, and help defense which was nice to see.

I like the new stat overlays for Lebron that basically showed how much he dominated last season lol

Oh, and one last thing...it's obvious the tendencies will be all screwed up as always, which is the main reason why Howard was a non-factor I'm sure. Sucks we have to do all the work to get these right for thee game to play better. I wish someone at 2k would really figure out how to use ratings and tendency stuff correctly!

I'm really impressed by this physics system. The way the game can recognize a weak player and a strong player is incredible, seeing the little things like Haslem losing his balance after jumping into the air, because kobe fell into him at 8:57 amazing, especially coming out of 2k12. Just seeing the little things like Gasol being knocked back when lebron goes up for the layup at 6:59. Things like that makes me hyped, someone said they think the engine has run it's course, I think that's far from the truth, with the new physics and new control stick, I think this has opened up new areas of gameplay that couldn't be done before. I kinda doubt 2k13, as it's just going to be 2k12 fixed, but it looks like a whole new monster. I just have to see how far the AI has come along. But I couldn't be more excited than I'm now.

Edit: Again the lack of warping FROM the cpu is really impressive, it looks like psychic defense is gone, but who knows. It's really hard playing 2k12 right now.

2k12 Physics system was one of major problems for me with the game.
2k12 had a lot of potential (post game was IMHO terrific a big jump from 2k11 in that area of the game. My biggest problem with it were:

• Passing
• Lack of CPU DT
• Lack of quality collision system between players

Now with 2k13 we can cleary see that:

• Contact/physics seems a lot better than last year
• Passing seems faster
• DT is fixed
• Spacing is improved too

as many I can't wait for october to come ^__^

I guess regardless how the game plays once it is finally out doesn't matter. It's either 2k13 or live. I don't know if you've seen the live13 video, but uh........
