Looks the same just new scoreboard

When passing the ball, players are not doing unnecessary movements to catch it. They makes me so mad when I pass the ball they become wide receivers and try to catch the ball behind their head with one head.

It's sort of like unveiling a new highway after asphalt has been layed down on part of one lane.

My guess is that the layup animation (the stick was moved to shoot) started at the top of the key. Nothing branched off from it.

Maybe it's expectations from seeing all of the other E3 videos. But I just feel like that shouldn't happen at this point with such a good game.

We're not talking for them to bring in something groundbreaking here.

But I saw enough of that (especially from the CPU) in 2K12.

I respectfully dispute the quoted. There's a reason 2K has historically refused to release footage of their "new" game this early in the year. It's because they're right in the middle of production. The bits and pieces we've seen at this time of year in seasons past very frequently look nothing like the eventual game itself.

Also, while I agree the Slam Dunk Contest controls are nothing less than startling, customers will not have to five dollars from it. They're just have to put five dollars down toward their eventual purchase.

I didn't see the presentation, so I have no clue what you guys are talking about. What's up with the dunk contest controls?

I'm trying to figure out the whole Guitar Hero corollary.

I'm sorry, but I AM noticing some minor improvements in the gameplay. I'm about to watch the clip again after watching it about 20+ times already. I don't care all that much about the AI reactions, because I'll adjust (like I do every year) the sliders to make the AI play like I want them to play.

To be fair, most of the other E3 videos came from games who do not have a yearly October 4th release date. Most non-sports games have extended development cycles that likely extend beyond that of a yearly sports game. I feel like the 2K13 footage could have barely been over halfway complete. For reference, here's what "2K12" looked like last year:

Quick question...I notice on the Westbrook fastbreak, that the players starting walking backwards to get back on defense after Westbrook made the layup. Do they do now?
