NBA 2K13: Top Five New Controls

[TreyIM2]

GREATEST sports game of all time, period, imo. I can't say it enough of how 2K13 has me addicted like crack. NEVER felt that way about ANY of the previous NBA2K's, point blank and numbers 1-4, especially, 1, help me feel this way.

That being said, only minor probs I have with one and two is that #1, the right stick dribble control is not the only way to control your dribble which makes for some wonky dribbles and dribbling not going exactly as planned. I spoke on this before in the Advanced Controls forum that Mike Wang posted. I hope he read it and REMOVES dribble control from the left stick. That should be for moving your feet ONLY.

The prob with #2 is that the CPU will randomly select bounce pass when you DON'T want a bounce pass. Again, the bounce pass should be ONLY when you call for it and NOT when choosing to do a regular pass. No bueno.

At any rate, I've gotten used to these niggling things, and like I keep telling my boyz, I think 2K sprinkled a little crack on this game because I CAN'T STOP PLAYING THIS GAME. It's messing up my life. Heh...

2k having NBA live's freestyle dribble controls is a dream come true for me also the alley-oop pass can double as a lob pass if you pass in right situations. The game is simply great!

YEZZIR! Fastbreaks are too damn fun, now, especially since they go the speed and flow of it correct. That bounce pass during those breaks are a thing of beauty.

Maaaaaaannnnnn. ALL of it!

I didn't think they could top 2K11. But they did.

This one......is basketball. Period.

I give 2K13 a 7/10.
I dropped 0.75 points because there's way too much jay-zee on the set list and another 0.75 because I saw bieber in the game. Other than that, game is playable with new controls.

I enjoy the new dribbling controls as well and part of the fun (and frustration) was getting ready to go for a dunk or a shot and being so conditioned to using the right stick that when I went for a power jam I ended up making some dribble move instead and screwed everything up. I was both mad and laughed. I'm almost at the point of being able to play without having to think so much about what controls to use. It's made the game better and more fun.

Correction, when I went up for a shot or layup I screwed it up.

I still don't believe this game is better than 2K11. Sorry. It's ok but overall there is just something in 2K11 that feels more fun to play. The right analog controls to shot transition seem a tad bit to long and out of control. It's like you have to wait to gain control of the player while they do there juke move. Perhaps in 2K11 it was the Jordan factor of it? I skipped 2K12 so I can't compare but I believe people when they say it's very similar to 2k12 (2K13). Good game but not the best. Plays A LOT like EA Live.
