Do you guys think Jay-Z had anything to do with all the golden user interface stuff?

I'm pretty sure he did because it looks like the Watch the Throne album cover, just not the same gold color though. As big a Jay-Z fan i am, I really dislike it and they should've kept it the same way from last year.

Yes.

For those wondering, as the vid was in Polish, my native language, they didn't say anything new and, to say it lightly, weren't very knowledgeable.

To the vid: there is still some skating and floating in air, but the game will flourish in the hands of competent bball gamer.

Looks good. Will look and play better once Rondo is God hex's the heck out of the roster and I can get some good sliders

The passing on the move looks to be improved. Those chest passes looked better than 2k12. The AI looked most impressive in this video. In particular, Harden used a nice triple threat move along with a stepback shot.

The annoying "live ball", cpu up/unders, and unrealistic bumping from 2k12 looks to have almost vanished form these videos shown. The new animations for on-ball defense look very realistic also.

Argh. Knew it. *facepalm*

Having game presentation elements look more like a rap album cover than a TNT broadcast just doesn't make sense, given the progress 2K had made the last couple of years.

Take a look at Madden 2K13 for presentation that looks eerily like a broadcast-- that's what we need more of, not less because of compromises that serve marketing cross promotionals. I would take authentic presentation and mediocre tunes to inauthentic presentation and a few good rap tracks anyday.

No one does authentic commentary like 2K though, especially with the addition of Kerr.
