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

[TheKasmar]

Played another round of games and I'm still impressed.


My only negatives are:

• Self-Alley and regular alleys shouldnt be the same button input(X +A) imo. The user should have to make a choice.
• With momemtum, the unblockable contact dunks still occur, but thankfully less often due to contact.
• Inbounding the ball still appears to be slightly delayed which encourages spam steal inbounders.

You do chose where you want the lob pass to go,you have to press the direction at the same time.

The point of the dribble stick is to make it EASIER to pull of moves and in the case of 2k13, pulling of hard moves in just a flick of a button and therefore removed that 'feel' for the user actually making the dribble. The 'creative' factor you mentioned was also the same for the old style... But it's different for everyone else. It's good that they have given the option to go with either way of dribbling.

Where did I give what I think is the point of the dribble stick?

But at the end of the day there's options that everyone will be comfortable with.

I will be the first to admit I am a complete 2K basketball rookie and have a steep learning curve to get through. I am trying to play as real to life as possible and not trying to just spam slam dunks the whole game. I just wish I was at least decent with the game right now but I just have to keep learning and try to improve as I go.

Hang in there you'll learn eventually.

You seen any czar videos?

Oh how I wish there was the option to lob pass whenever we wanted. Maybe next year.

Can't stand the controls...I need my 2K12 controls back...

Like the physics and collision detection. The graphics aren't impressive, but it's a demo, so I don't expect much.

My only real "gripe" is the new control stick. I don't know if it's just because I got so used to 2K12's controls or what, but I don't like it.

I liked when the left stick controlled the dribbling moves because you use that same stick to direct your player, so it made perfect sense that you used it to crossover and spin and all that, as well. I don't like having to move 2 sticks to move my guy.

Other than that, I like the demo. I've never been thrilled with the "one 5 minute quarter" demo from 2K, but what are you gonna do? They could at least allow a "Start Over" thing at the end, instead of having to go all the way back to the main menu.

[JasonMartin]

All the way back? Dude it's quit-start - A and you're in.

with 2K11/12 demo's, it would take you 2 mins to restart a game and now it's within seconds (<5 if you keep ramming the A button).

I think it's great and really fast so you can keep on playing without getting frustrated
