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

Finally played the demo - wow

The first thing that jumped out to me was how aggressive the CPU A.I. was with Lebron and D.Wade, these two just kept attacking my defense. Lebron grabbed nice rebound, then pushed the ball all the way up court saw a opening and went to the basket very aggressive. D.Wade was pulling up of the dribble in my face constantly, I've been wanting this in a 2K game for years,thank you. The paint contact is great, oh and the pick and roll - beautiful in this game, its nice to see the improvement, your teammates give you space now to perform this, even guarding the pick and roll is fun. I notice the CPU moves the ball around better and looks for your weakness on defense, it really felt like I was playing against another person. Boy the controls are going to take some getting use to, I'm going to need alot of practice with this. The game just feels so much more organic and responsive, it feels totally different than 2K12. There are so many moves you can pull off its crazy, and its nice seeing the CPU pull off alot of moves, also it was great to see alot of missed dunks because of contact in the paint area threw the player off balance. If the online mode is stable with less lag, and actual lobbies so we can pick and see who we are playing, 2K13 is going to knock it out the park.

My one complaint could be the onball defense seemed kind of stiff and not as responisve for some reason, it maybe my imagination and I need to play more games, but did anyone else feel like this?

After playing offline and online, I still feel like its impossible to play on ball defense online. Maybe its because people are playing all Willie nillie on the sticks right now, but the input lag plus herky jerky playstyle made it very difficult for me to play onball online. However, offline, its great, and that's where I spend the majority of my time anyway. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong, but I don't know. Seems unreliable, which would really bum me out as I was looking forward to playing MyTeam online.

Did they take out Pump Fake? That used to be a vital part of my game....

I'm really enjoying it, once I got the control stick down. That's what I loved about Live back in the day (like Live 03, Live 04). The crossovers are much smoother than last year. It looks beautiful when you string multiple moves together to breakdown your defender. If I could change the camera, I would have loved this demo.

oh yeah i forgot to say i could do the pick and roll on xbox but i couldn't do it on playstation i'm sure the final build will be the way it is on xbox and i'm really ready i'm bout to play a lil bit more now

It's condescending posts like this that lead to arguments. You couldn't just drop your opinion without accusing those that have a different view of "pretending"? Really? It really not very hard to give respectful and varied feedback.
