OS Roundtable: Where does NBA 2K13 Stand?

[Boilerbuzz]

I don't know why people expect sports games to come out without quirks. Every year, they have to pack a ton of crap in enough to warrant a purchase, but they don't get the 4 to 6 month QA like or genres do. Never can a sport game say it'll be out "when it's ready". So, the game isn't perfect, but it's clearly taken step forward.

It really has taken a step forward in gameplay and 2k has to know this and keep plugging at it

the game is phenominal. Ive been playing since release and its getting better and better. the amount ou detail, variation, and depth of gameplay is outstanding. even for 2K/VC. presentation continues to be stellar. even with a few questionable asthetic choices, the implimentaion is top notch. its hard to imagine how they can wow us in next Gen (other than graphicaly ) we'll see

It stands upright, on it's base; as any other Xbox 360 videogame does.

Well I only play offline association & I haven't even started yet! Still mastering plays & tweaking sliders. I've enjoyed it so far though. Love the controls! I've had some decent games. Using sliders posted here I've gotten rid of some of the glaring issues. I do wish they put more work into the classic arenas.

It's early but no big complaints. Last year I practically reprogrammed the game I tweaked so much!

Add in Less in air contact animations, Faster recovery time on defense, Less Animations where we're stuck in if we do commit to a missed block or steal, and put in My Crew with fully customizable jerseys, stadiums, and you got yourself a deal.

Where does this 2k rank? I still believe 2k11 achieved more as far as game immersion. I've had more fun playing crew with my friends than i've had playing my team/my player blacktop....to be honest the best part of 2k13 is the right stick dribbling, the manual bounce passes, and my career mode, otherwise this game isnt all that as far as being able to play with your friends online. There's no defense in the paint online, no shot blocking. If you play a blacktop game, everyone can shoot three's, you can't alter anyones shot, the computer never misses a shot, the matchmaking is broken and takes forever to start up, it's only a half court game which blows, and there are too many ballhogs....oh yeah, this Virtual currency system stinks, why the hell don't you just stick with skill points? people buying blue diamonds for $20 bucks, buying overall 99's? gtfoh 2k...that's just too much.. in my honest opinion, 2k11 trumps this game because there was actual defense being played minus the constant bumping.

to reiterate...add crew, more blocks, better matchmaking, better clothes to choose from in the mp store, and you just might have yourself the greatest basketball game of all-time!

NBA 2K13 stands as a basketball game that is fun and it's hard to stop playing but disappoints me as a customer and Fan for not receiving the full game(for the second straight year). All I play is MyCAREER & MyPLAYER Blacktop here's my input.

MyCAREER is Perfect I see no Changes to it only improvements, my only problem with it is How much VC you get from drills and you don't receive a + on an attribute. Honestly, the next big thing for MyCAREER to me is making it online(MyCAREER Online). This is very similar to Madden's Connected Careers but this would be the next big thing for MyCAREER in NBA 2K14(imo).

MyPLAYER Blacktop is not perfect, there needs to be more courts(only 2) you can't block dunks, anklebreaker doesn't exist, the player checking the ball shouldn't be able to shoot only pass and this mode clearly could of been 5v5 Fullcourt, although I play this more than any other mode It's the only MyPlayer Online Mode and that is a major problem we need more "MyPLAYER Online Modes". Let me be Clear "WE NEED MORE MY PLAYER ONLINE MODES" since MyCAREER is the cornerstone of NBA 2K why do we get limited with the using our MyPLAYERS online? Either way I feel these problems can be patched even the 5v5 Fullcourt that'll be so F'in great and make so many people happy. 2K say their listening to us but clearly they're not.
