Sounds like NBA 2K13 is going to be a super duper classic like NBA 2K11 was....#Can'twait!

I mean my controller is pretty responsive....so all i would do is just use my thumb....

Wow, this is pretty much everything I wanted. Now waiting for some news regarding improvements to online association, association, and MyPlayer.

I see it is going to be an extremely long wait until October.

In past games Visual Concepts felt that after the whistle blew the presentation would often break the sense of immersion with flaws in the way players acted and reacted. The transition of seeing LeBron James make one of his signature dunks, but then stumble aimlessly around the court like a zombie as a quarter came to a close was jarring. In NBA 2K13, the team made an effort to seamlessly integrate ambient actions to make sure that players are doing things they would actually do in real life during dead ball situations.

Does this mean we will see Blake Griffen stare down his opponents every time he dunks on them? Will we see D Wade and Lebron laughing at opponents on the bench when they are up by 20? Will we see that horrible celebration from Kobe when he makes at least 3 threes from the olympics?

These are the questions I need answered....

I want to try this demo soon to get these changes down before the full game is released Im very curious to see how this is implemented

All this is telling me is that i'll have to learn how to work in the post....for the third installment straight. It changed in 2k11, then again in 2k12, now here for 2k13....it changes...

I thnk they're talking about when you call time out and everyone starts shuffling around dead legged and stiff. My favorite comes when two players meet do that awkward pat on the head thing and the other guy clenches his fist all weird at the same time a defender literally walks between them like they aren't there.

Just trying to keep the realistic motions up even when quarters end, for time outs and fouls, and, I'm assuming, when someone gets hurt.

"Visual Concepts also changed the alley-oop controls. This year when you see an opportunity for a quick basket at the rim, you can mash the A and X buttons to throw it up."

i think they meant that if theres like 1-3 seconds left on the shot clock and you got to throw it up real quick , you can just mash A and X together to throw up a quick lob to your big man.

Man, if this is their last year dedicated to current gen platforms then 2K went all out. Game is going to be awesome!!!!
