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

Game play is great. Everything positive you've heard so far is true.

A few things I haven't seen mentioned outside of momentum, blocks, smoothness all that...

I really like that they pulled the broadcast cam (for those that use it) out a little. Makes the court look more spaced.

I also really like the player movement. Everyone is moving around, players don't get in your way while dribbling nearly as much as in 2k12.

Controls are cool, a little tough to grasp even for a former Live guy like myself (and by former, I mean 05...did get 10 though)

As far as player specific authenticity, I had a weakside block of the backboard with LeBron that literally smashed off of the glass. Westbrook is doing awesome layups. KD's shot looks really nice this year.

Great stuff so far, just made the week wait that much harder

Edit: Forgot to mention the way the CPU attacks the rim is so realistic, no more leaning pump fake, pivot up and under crap

Offline as well...noticeably after a catch and shoot scenario...

The graphics are always better on the demo. The smoothness on frame is always better on the DEMO!!! Sure theres no audio, but in some ways thats EVEN better. The demo made me never use play calling because it made everything less repetitive.....i think this is why people enjoy the demo so much but never themselves understand why....

just a thought..

Ok i may be a tad bit bias giving my history i've had with 2k, and how much i hate live. But i love the game so far as the demo. My only wish is i can switch the right stick around can i use the lt + rs for dribbling rather than shooting i just don't like the idea of what they have now but other than that i say honestly this is the best nba demo 2k has ever brought out

My biggest issue with the gameplay so far is definitely the catch and shoot speed. I've been harping on it for years, but it still seems the same. 2k players are simply terrible at shot preparation, and then even when they do set up well it's still just about impossible to get a smooth catch and release motion.

This is probably the last remaining area where Live 10 still wins.
