Also that Westbrook dunk was a thing of beauty

No, what I said and the way I meant to be interpreted was that when Love pulls his up and under for some reason Randolph runs off screen and is never seen again.

Not going to nit pick this vid, but some things I didn't like.

The left handed finishes as others have already mentioned.

Also that Boozer dunk is horrible. Been around way too long. No one ever dunks like that and it just looks bad.

The more this game evolves, the more I hate the player modes. Why does Arron Afflalo have no neck?

loved the Westbrook drive and dunk in the updated video. sequences like that almost never happened in 2k12...first his crossover and first step felt more explosive than 2k12...second, the dunk animation was quick with no stopping gather. third, he kept the ball above his head to avoid getting it blocked. good, appropriate contextual animations in that sequence.

in 2k12, the crossover and first step would've been sluggish, and then the dunk animation would've caused him to stop and do a two-footed gather and he would've attempted a windmill which would've been blocked from behind or something. when dunking in traffic, the player should ALWAYS keep the ball ABOVE HIS HEAD to avoid getting it blocked. for the most part i have seen 2k follow this rule in the 2k13 footage i've seen. the Durant dunk in this same video is another example of an appropriate dunk animation - quick and explosive, and he kept the ball above his head...none of that stopping gather and crazy windmill garbage.

proper and effective animations are crucial. incorrect or ineffective animations can take a game from enjoyable to infuriating. i hope they got it right this year.

Looks like they scrapped the Knicks (Tyson and Melo vs Artest) footage. Perhaps they accidentally revealed the new NYK jerseys, then someone from the league requested to put them down.
