NBA 2K13 Has Pre-Game Rituals

[Gramps91]

This is cool, but I still prefer starting lineup announcements at the beginning of games. Also, like some others are here I'm more of an association guy so I really hope we get some news on that soon.

Tsk. There's no absolute truth to what matters in a basketball game. It's relative. What you think is "useless" and "not needed" another may think it's important. Like I said before, "I think you meant 'Mr my opinions'".

Why does NBA Live have to be brought up whenever someone "complains" about something 2K does?

What you are saying is just as bad as saying why do grown ups play videogames.
What you see as important may not be important for fans as a whole. I'm a grown man who wants a deep experience and 2K is doing it every year.

...because EA NBA LIVE fans come to these forums to complain and cause confusion with their post. The wonder amongst us, we have to point them out so they do drag us down.

As a MyPlayer fan, these might be little additions but they add SOOO much to the overall feel of how you relate to the game. You can never have too much customization in a mode intended to be, essentially, a fantasy. Add to the fact that they improved the core game itself, MyPlayer/MyCareer will be a very addicting mode, hopefully like it was in 2k11.

Apparently, you guys missed the insight where Mike Wang was saying how they wanted to work on gameplay, CPU team management A.I., on-line servers, and improve association mode as priorities in 2k13. But due to limited resources and time restraints they were not able to work on any of those things and instead chose to focus on adding pre-game rituals and wardrobe selection because once you do a headstand right in front of your opponents bench before game 7 of the finals and make the away crowd jump on your jock, you won't even care about teammate a.i., association, etc..
Some of you guys are hilarious!

Here's the thing, I've played some tremendously fun games on my iPhone that have the most basic interface and graphics. So 2K can include outfits and hand stands and whatever they want, but if the gameplay isn't up to scratch then the gimmicks and 'extra' features will become old real quick.

When it comes to basketball, there are still people playing College Hoops 2K8 and football with NFL 2K5. Why? Because those games nailed the gameplay and immersion factors. They become great and extend their life.

Games these days are more and more leaving me behind with their focus on online and trophies/achievements and 'crews' and all this stuff. And I'm only bloody 33 years old!

Lame....just fix the online servers and game play
