One thing i noticed is when somebody's taking it to the basket (either lay-ups or dunks) is that they don't get sucked into a 2-player animation anymore which is really nice to see.

Also those bounce passes ld2k let fly look really sweet. Those contact shots under the basket are a thing of beauty too. When Lebron spun baseline and made a lay up against collison and collisson went down

And of course the highlight was the westbrook spin move and the harden and-1 play with the reaction. Really nice! On ball d looked tighter than what I've seen from the other vids too, though I'm not sure if it was a result of a conscious effort by both guys to not force it too much. Still, it looked good though.

Blocks looked more natural (cuz there were no armpit blocks), but looked a bit stiff. And when going up for rebounds sometimes guys were too floaty. I can live with those though.

I know right? From what I can see, Kevin Durant's mole on his right ear is missing too. The level of realism in this game can be sooooo much better. :banghead:

I'm even more serious

As I'm watching this for the third time today I'm just noticing more stuff, wow that cross-over that Dwade put on harden at around 2:10 in the 4th quarter was crazy good.

Ld2k jacking up some bad shots though. LOL

Hopefully there are sliders to up the # of off the ball fouls as well. When we talk about all the little things in the game, I would like to see fouls like these happen every once in a while

I expected such meaningless comments. Just tells me there are plenty of people out there having no clue what authenticity and realism really means. Getting the basic stuff correctly is something that should be taken for granted. If you don't see that, it's not my problem. And don't start to argue "it's only a video game!"

Really? Even though 2 out the 3 were definitely valid calls, with the one on LeBron being debatable, off-ball calls are made so randomly in the NBA that they reek of refs manipulating the game.

Moving screens like Garnett's should of course be called, but on any given play there is probably at least one that isn't, and then most of the calls made are rewarding floppers on legit, well set screens. Same goes for players fighting for position, they almost always call the 2nd or 3rd foul, it's completely selective. Charging calls aren't much better, maybe 1 in 3 is a good call, even many that you could argue are technically correct are partial flops or just too soft to have any place in basketball.

In NBA2k it'd feel like the game was straight-up cheating. It already feels like the CPU already gets way softer calls than the player.

What I would love to see is an occasional replay of a foul or out of bounds call on key plays, with the commentary discussing the call or the refs reviewing who should have possession, especially since there are already animations with players asking for calls or disagreeing with them. I've had times where I stripped a player going to the basket and thought the ball went off their leg, but they retained possession. I'd love to have the refs seem somewhat fallible, but not to the point of real NBA refs.

Early NBA live games had very similar contact animations from like NBA live 2004 all the way to 07 (don't know about after because I stopped buying NBA live after 07)...I remember one of the old gen systems NBA live had the perimetetlr/midrange "ride" contact animations on ball handlers...it looked pretty similar to the new ones in 2k13.

As far as play calling..NBA live 10 had great play calling.
