OS Roundtable: Where does NBA 2K13 Stand?

[thetalkofanation]

Oh my god man. When did the internet become something for a bunch of whiners and babies. People hating on Jay-Z. Crying about VC please man. You have to play the game to get VC and as you do that.. HOLY CRAP YOU GET BETTER. This game is clearly the best sports game of all time. Yes is the rebounding ridiculous sometimes.. absolutely. If you watch real basketball and know how to play it then the game is top notch. STOP CRYING ABOUT JAY-Z PLEEASSEEE. I actually wish he had picked out more songs. The only problem with the game really is online but that's because of cheesers.. not 2k. STOP WAITING AND CRYING FOR PATCHES. Once again if you played real basketball you'd realize that you don't always just play your position.. Jesus. This forum is worse than the romney forums.

Gameplay has taken a big step forward, I think some of the things that hold it back is the online aspect, the lack of stability,still with no lobbies and other options we need to have in this day in age. For example the game is greater than Madden13 but Madden 13 online interface, options, etc destroys NBA2k13. Also I think some of the annoying bugs and glitches in the game that we notice right away didnt get fixed. Also the option to turn off autosave not being present is just crazy, also I don't even think then NBA Today feature hasn't worked since release date. NBA2K13 took 3 big steps forward, but then it kind of stumbled back one step in a few things. I think what annoys people is the game is close to be perfection if it wasn't for a few things that 2K needs to address in a patch. So post patch, or patches, this should be brought up again.

The best basketball game ever and currently either 1 or 2 of all sports games either behind or ahead of Madden.

I think it stands as the best sports game of all time. I can't think of a game that represents a sport better, though I can't help but wonder what they would've done with football. Though the offensive rebounding & points in the paint can get out of hand, my experience improves when I spend more time with the coaching settings. I don't play online & have made slider adjustments.

There's always something though. My understanding is that adjustments & additions during programming can affect unintended areas, but there always seems to be a glaring issue that we have to look forward to being fixed next year. I'm starting to wonder how unintentional the annual issue is. The effectiveness of boxing out seems like something that could be addressed in a patch. My suspicion grows if it's not.

Man oh Man, It annoys me that some refuse to acknowledge many of the little things that 2k Basketball refuses to fix that make the game feel very annoying to sim players. Oh yeah, when did the internet become crowded with folks who don't understand what a quality product is? As long as the product cosmetically looks good, they're very satisfied with mediocrity. These people also complain about User's who simply expect a quality product when they spend $60 and scapegoat by calling knowledgeable consumers cry babies. They call a game great despite 101 bugs.

Is 2k13 a good basketball game...Yes but it also feels like like I'm playing a beta version.

I don't know why so many people here expect perfection or near-perfection from this game. As a complete effort, not just one piece of the game here or there to match up against other games, there doesn't seem to be another sports game that matches up with 2K13. Again, as a complete effort. I don't understand the whole "[this game] does something better" while ignoring the myriad other things 2K13 does better than that game. It's like some will overly criticize the game for not being perfect, when that shouldn't be the expectation in the first place. There's little to no perspective.

lol.. good response. Mediocrity??? Madden is mediocrity... You got the whole post all wrong. All I see here is cry baby after cry baby after cry baby. If you don't want to spend 60 dollars then don't buy the game dummy. nobody is making you buy it. Ridiculous. I am not a "CASUAL GAMER" either, it's just I don't cry and nitpick over little stuff that is really not a big deal such as yourself.

Me personally, I expected things like the allstar bug to be fix by now. I haven't touched "my player" in a while because despite leading the league in everything statistical category and awards, my players keeps getting Benched. Do you understand how annoying that is?

Now if someone is complaining about shoe designs or the crowd, I 100% agree with you.
