NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #3: Animations

[return.specialist]

Could've told me that TFB capped dunks are in this, and i'da bought it. I knew it was Darlington's double-up in the earlier all-star video.

Man us 2k fans are lucky, we could have zero info like the NBA live fans. It's September and there is little to no information on the game besides the launch details.

Nice! You can easily look at A TFB dunk video on Youtube too see what dunks would be in the dunk contest next year

Maybe my eyes are deceiving me but I could've sworn I saw some sweat on the player models in that video. I haven't seen that since NBA 2K11.

I cant believe they just spent time trying to tell us, gamers, about what motion capture is and how it works. They act like this is new technology or something. That was a waste.

Ive been on board with pretty much everything they have shown so far this year though.

Speaking of animations, there are two things that they really need to work on.

1. The crowd. Look at that portion where Griffen is dunking. NOBODY IS LOOKING!!! Not one person in the crowd looks at him. They should have their heads turned toward him and some fans should point. During a game, the crowd should track the ball as they go up and down the court. They all just look straight ahead. Not very realistic. It would really give the impression that the crowd is into the game.

2. The players eyes. They have always looked dead to me. I think i know why. A real persons eyes are always moving, even slightly, kinda darting around. The players eyes should do this too, kinda dart back and forth to all the things going on around the court, like they are actually observing it

He figured out the code that the developers left in bits in pieces on the forum, combined that answer with clues from commercials, then he submitted an email with his deductions, and was rewarded with early info.


...either that or he works for 2ks marketing. either way...
