Other than that, i'm loving it. For the PS3 users out there that dont harrass the controls and want to play a real game minus the and 1 streetball crap. HIT ME UP.

Those guys are gonna get crushed when they lose all their stamina in the first quarter. Stamina is tied to the control stick, the more you use it the more stamina you use.

still saw a lot of bad in this demo.

- your AI teammates dont boxout , allowing way to many offensive rebounds

- still a lot of instances where i absolutely CANNOT break down bigs withs guards or quicker players. i should almost always make them pay for the mismatch

- still some sliding, had an instance just now where i hit KD with a mean left to right crossover that dropped him, drove to the basket in a wide open lane only to have serge ibaka slide infront of me and force an unwanted jumpshot

-stepbacks out of contact are WAY to easy. hoping this is at least toned way down on HOF difficulty.

-on ball defense is still a little tough to play when guarding the cpu. KD gets by me way to easy and in turn locks me down like he has the lockdown signature skill. a lot easier to guard human players imo, which leads me to think cpu will once again dominate you. even players who are scrubs.

overall, this game is much improved over 2k12 and with the numerous new animations and control stick, fixed speed, and improved player faces, this can easily dethrone 2k11 in my opinion.

Gotta get a PS3 son... it's all free over here.

also forgot to add that ld2k and i spoke last night on xbox and he told me, without even asking that a lot of the things in need of fixing in this demo are already done in the retail build like boxing out, players jumping to high, over the back rebounding to name a few. So with that said.. tuesday cant come soon enough!

I'm pretty stoked on this game. I've been reading alot of comments and I agree with some of what's being said but i've got a few points to make.

New Controls - After 5 years of playing 2k it's a big change to switch to an iso stick; but we all knew this was coming and those that don't like it have the chance to change it or they just have to suck it up. Give it a week and i'm not too worried about it.

Graphics/Details - Remember it's a demo people. Does anyone remember the demo for 2K12? It looked like sh*t and the game looked way better. Case in point, did you see Kobe's shoes in the new developers video on Shoe Creator? Dope! Maybe it's just me but i don't care about how the crowd looks or that Westbrook has a mustache.

I can't believe that people would say that based on this demo they'r'e not buying the game. Are you kidding me?! After playing this demo i'm going to go and bury my copy of 2K12 in the backyard.

Online - I don't really play online but this is one thing i would be worried about if i did. If 2K had revamped their online and servers they would be trumpeting it from the mountaintops and we haven't heard anything. They might even be waiting for the game release before we hear anything, which would be pretty bad.

Crew - Don't get me started. Get over it Crew heads, it's gone... make your peace with it.

Lastly, let''s just remember that there's only a year between game releases and minus the rest of this year when they're doing patches and updates, that leaves roughly 7 months to put out a new game. Incremental changes people. Doesn't everyone complain when 2K puts out a halfbaked mode in the game? Compare 2k13 to 2K11 and that's a fair comparison.

Peace.

Well after playing the demo a bit more today

Rebounding

Has

To

Be

Fixed

I can deal with minor BS, but this has to be fixed, my AI teammate collison LOOKs at the ball before wade a second or 2 later got in front of him to snatch the ball

I know it's not because of small ball from heat, because it doesnt matter which team im controlling thunder/heat, this nonsense where I or my opponent get 4-5 off rebs in a row happens way too often.

Rebounding is flawed plain and simple and boxing out is almost non existent

Youre definitely not alone on that, I have been banging Illmatic since Tuesday.
