NBA 2K13 Demo Available Now For 360 and PS3, Post Impressions Here

[poloelite]

Good job 2k. Gameplay is on point and I actually have a reason to start Thabo in the game over Harden... And I will be the first to eat crow on the Jay-Z involvement. Still not a "big" announcement, but the menu screens look epic and they pack more info. Even though I could've done it myself, hearing "The World Is Yours" by Nas on the intro screen is exciting. Wish there were some videos on the other modes, or practice/blacktop was enable to give us more to do until next week lol.

+ Love the longer "live" video flyover intro to Miami's arena

+/- Not sure how I feel about the new control scheme, going to take a decent amount of practice/playing before it becomes second nature. Will give it a chance of course

+ Great, great animations all around. Lots of incidental contact

+ Not sure why people here tripped on the soundtrack. I've downloaded two songs to my mp3 player already just from listening in the menus

+ Blocks seem to be very well done

+ Can really explode off the dribble, speed differential is much more noticeable between players

Even with my inability to easily adopt the control stick it's an extremely fun to play demo imo

Pretty sure the demo is Gold Exclusive for at least a week. If you don't have Gold it won't show up in the Marketplace for you.

I had OKC Nick Collsion jumping for rebound but ball went right through his hand and he kicked ball. (He didn't close his hand or arm together to catch the ball is what I mean)

It happened again with somebody else while playing online. Both situations looked catchable to me. Not sure if this is meant to be like this.

I like this year's ball physics though.

Thx in advance

I got doubled a couple times, Lebron had 11 points so rightfully so.

I did see one hard double but after Battier made a few open shots they weren't as hard.

New Passing is awesome, I had a very nice bounce pass to lebron from wade that looked like someone that would happen in real life

Loving the controls, I believed it was easy to adapt to due to playing an old basketball game that had a somewhat similar control scheme back on the PS2. The gameplay feels good for the most part from what I seen from the 10+ games I played.

Still has that imput lag online :/ feels really slow in terms of actions and reactions like it did last year online which is too bad, but I love the gameplay overall!

I'm pretty easily amused. I like some of the new full-court shot animations:
