guys, have they said anything about any audio improvements in any of the interviews or previews? there were some instances in a few gameplay clips when I thought it seemed to be improved

Completely 1000% agree with you. GTFO with the "all or nothing" propaganda.

We are very excited for NBA 2K13! We were huge supporters of NBA 2K12 even with the online league issues, it sounds like 2K13 will be the greatest basketball video game of all time!!! Can't wait!! Happy Online Gaming!

I like the way they game 'flows' overall. But i wouldve liked some footage of the a.i. Being a bit more agressive.

I love 2K logic: contested 3's and midrange jumpers are cool, but uncontested layups and dunks? No can do. I lost count of how many dunks bounced out and layups hit the bottom of the rim in 2K12.

Kobe's missed dunk was in traffic crossing between 2 defenders. And wade missed a oop that was contested as well. I didn't see any wide open dunks missed, but dunks in traffic were missed.

Same.

The crowd is really dead in 2K games. You could hit a game winner of a double OT game and the crowd will react like you just got a rebound.

I think 2K10 and onwards is when the game really started to play well and take into account real momentum. Yes, 2K went with long, canned animations at first as a stop gap, but they've been trying to make them more responsive *and* realistic with every subsequent release. 2K10 had lock on defense which was loathed (though I didn't mind it). 2K11 and 12 went back to twitchy user defense but we're seeing some of the shading controls and contextual animations brought back to strike a nice balance between control and realism in 2K13.

2K9 was the worst release after 2K8 not because it was overly realistic, but because it played nothing like real basketball while exacerbating all the twitchy, arcade movement of earlier games. 2K13 didn't get where it is without all the experiments with momentum, canned animations and adding realism and keeping what worked and tweaking what didn't in 2K10, 11, and 12.
