OS Roundtable: Where does NBA 2K13 Stand?

[Sausage]

For me NBA 2K13 is not just the best basketball game I have played, but is one of the better games of any genre.

I can't say enough how "amazing happens" when I play this game. It may be the only game I play for the next year.

The fun factor and experience were better in 2k8 and 2k11 for me over 2k13. I preferred the online league over the association and having more options online to play at higher difficulty levels with the lobbies. The offense this year is much more overpowering then the defense capabilities as well.

Modes like myteam and myplayer could of been much better but 2k is more concerned with users buying vc, and catering to casuals then optimizing the modes with logic and diversity.

I thnk the game is great and fun as hell once you get the hang out the dribbling stick which is just awesome imo. the only problem that i encounter is that the their are wayyy tooo many offensive rebounds. that aspect needs to be fixed. otherwise 2k13 renders all other versions of nba 2k obsolete. awesome game. oh one more thing get the full rosters fixed. i want allll the rookies on their teams, rasheed etc..

This 2k is up there with the greats without question..It's right on par with 2k11 for me as of right now.

I basically have one big complaint about the game, and that's the rebounding....and this is something that the devs already have there sights on for a patch. Everything else is minor for me.

Just a fantastic game.

If I had a nickle for every time this excuse is used to defend 2k. This seems to be the excuse for even the simplest bugs......it very hard, would break the game blah blah blah..... . One of the easiest ways to meet a deadline goal is to start early.


I can bet you any aspects of the game involving VC are tweak to perfection. Never heard of anyone complaining about getting 10,000VC from a key game. And if one exploit is found, it's magically fixed without breaking the game.

I'm not saying its as complicated as supposedly fixing the allstar bug but come on man, these bugs aren't rocket science.

You seriously can not block dunks, you get the magical push out the air trick ever time.

Better blocking sure 2k.......

I wouldn't call the my player minutes bug minor.

Well he did say minor for HIM.
