^ yup when certain players drive you get sucked into a riding/close guarded animation. I won't even talk about when dunk animations trigger, there is no stopping that.

Defense is still hard for me, any tips? Durant and Westbrook has a counter for EVERYTHING. I understand they're tremendous players but every time? Why is Shane Battier starting at the 4? W.E. Fake pass looks like a fake shot, I don't like it. Don't understand why we never got a developer insight for play running, one of the most important factors of basketball. I have a feeling play running in 2K13 will be atrocious.

Durant - I think the same too, but I rarely sprint with him to stop a fast break unless its late in the game and hes tired so not sure.

Dunks - I seem to rarely get them...I just may be use to 2k12's unrealistic dunks when two people would be in the lane but you could still dunk but in this doing the same I only get layups, which get contacted and I miss a ton, w/o fouls the whole game.

Spacing - is pretty good, hated trying to do things in 2k12 with a center trying to do a pick even though I didn't call one.

Defense - Sort of the same but hey, not sure.

Battier on the 4 maybe a bug, but didn't he play some of that during the playoffs last year?

Or the you bite on a pumpfake animation when you didn't even do anything. One guy did that 5 times to me iwith Lebron James n a 5 minutes quarter. I hope this is just a slider setting.

if a guy drives on you and your afraid he'll get away you can try to foul him, press steal. which is why most perimeter fouls happen other than gambling at least gives you a chance to reset

Played about 6 games so far and I know this is what everyone has said but WOW! These animations are beautiful to watch.

Still very rusty with the new controls, having a little trouble figuring out how to use the right stick properly, will have to look at the advanced controls.

Very much lookin' forward to the full game so I can jump into practise mode and sit there for a good hour to learn all these moves!

I still have post-dramatic stress from 2k12, where even if the offensive player blows by you and you foul, their driving animation will still continue and they sometimes get and 1's.

So I'm reluctant to foul on a blow by.

I am liking that you have to pick your poison on d ... you either defend the J and get murdered by drives or the opposite ... position matters more than ever, since speed matters this year ...

There are still some instances where your player gets pushed back unnaturaly (sliding due to a force field ?) ... but D seems way better than 2k12 ... also, the teammates seem to react a bit better on d too ...

Liking the spacing, on O am still struggling with new controls but will get better ... passing, post, everything looks promising, thus the FG%s seem a bit inflated, if only we could see stats at the end of the qtr.

October 2 cant come soon enough ... just waiting for the association insight before the release of the game !
