I actually thought that was a nice little addition, I'd hate it if it wasn't on the PS3 version. I've only seen replays after dunks, no Dunk Meter. BTW: My first 2K13 points were a D-Wade Self-Oop. Words can't explain how happy I was, I've wanted this in the game for sooo long.

You mean the "Dunk Intensity" meter? I can confirm it's on PS3.

I like that they don't slide anymore.

It is more realistic to do what is necessary to gaurd the roll.

I love how the defense is and punishes those who abuse only two people. In the screenshot you can see the outcome of one guy using two players and trying to bully his way down low. I wish they showed the stats for blocks, could have been a 2k demo record. Good job, 2k I'm impressed.

Played on PS3 and its a WHOLE different feeling! Good Job 2k from the gameplay to the little things like Russell Westbrook 2 Pistols ritual after he hits a 3!!! The only thing that gets me frustrated is the new controls! It's going to take me a long time to get these controls down but once I do I'mma ball with my C's!!!

Yeah, the Dunk Intensity Meter. I have still yet to see it. I'm at the point of letting the CPU get in the paint and dunk at will just to see if it's there. I'll keep at it then. Thanks.

Edit: I got it to happen, I don't know the specs on when/why it pops up but I got an And-1 and used Square to dunk. I've been using the stick but to no avail, but got it the first time with square.

Played about 5 games so far. 3 against the CPU, which I enjoyed more than the 2 I played online. I gotta say, this game kind of blew me away with the "little things". All the small animations that happen. Bosh went up for a turnaround jumper and took some contact on the shot, he missed and no foul was called, then he turns to the ref and puts his hands up like "c'mon ref".

The contact animations look very smooth for the most part. I see players stumbling and reacting to contact like no basketball game I've seen to date. The controls will definitely take some getting used to. I sometimes feel lost playing on offense. But I'm sure the more I play I'll have a lot of moves down by then. I'll for sure be in practice mode next Tuesday.

Overall this game seems like something I'll be playing until 2K14. And that's just based off of playing the demo a few times. Can't wait to get my hands on it October 2nd.
