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

[Skmatic]

Loving the demo so far, they are taking a huge step forward with this years game.

I'm sure they will fix the few bugs the game has at release with a patch/update.

So far the only problems I've found are:

1) Missed wide-open dunks and alley-oops happen way too frequently.

2) With the games speed being slowed a bit, the fake pass & pump fake animations are too fast making it look awkward and unrealistic.

3) No foul is called when players are pushed out of bounds.

4) The turbo animation where the player throws ball in front of him still dribbles off players feet without a kick-ball violation being called. Resulting in too many unnecessary turnovers.

5) Pressing LT+A to do a bounce pass does not always result in a bounce pass.

6) Pressing X+A to do a alley-oop does not always result in an alley-oop, instead having the player do an unnecessary fake pass, pass, or pump fake.

.........................

Thats all I really have for now, the game has yet to be released so there are bugs no doubt, but im sure with a few tweaks post-release all these minor issues will be resolved. Great year for 2K.

Seriously??? smh

7) oh yea, and bounce passes result in too many turnovers without kick-ball violating being called.

Just watched some XBOX 360 gameplay of the demo (I'm a PS3 user). All I'm worried about is the the possibility of people overusing the self alley-opp and turning a the match into a streetball game.

Yea that too, but that's just an easy tweak to fix. Hopefully 2K reads this forum so they could tone down how frequent self-alley oops successfully happen.

I like the demo and I like the controls; however, I feel as though it may take some time to master them.

Does anyone know if there will be an option to revert back to last year's controls in the full version?

The give and go plays are just lovely. And Westbrook is just a beast. I can see that athletic point guards are going to be a problem if you don't have a lock down defender on them.

It's about match ups now! Match-ups Match-ups Match-ups!
