OS Roundtable: Where does NBA 2K13 Stand?

[JuGod72]

How can this be the " Best Sports Game Ever " when there's no defense in the game?

[Zeppelin8]

2k13 stands where wasted potential is.

On the court the game got a great base, significantly improved this year. all they need is to have better contact mechanics. Some post moves needs a polish too from a defensive stand point. Also maybe tie the moves to low post rating? I mean guys like Fab Melo or Hasheem Thabeet should not be able to execute some of the moves.

Besides the general polish and little tweaks, it is time to improve Association/Rosters/Sim Engine etc. Those departments are showing their age. We have basically the same offline association with almost same issues for countless years. More interaction (with players & coaches) and give us something better then fixed potentials. Maybe the potential rating could drop or maybe rise depending on the performance and other stuff. My player has the press conference, assoc. not having the same feature bugs me out. Should I also add that we should have better playbooks and rosters? The things we are constantly asking are so much easier/cheaper to fix then adding new animations and other stuff into game.

If those things were to make in the game, it would be a sim gamers wet dream. Not that it will happen. We probably end up having one more dunk animation with Justin Bieber on the cover.

Too many flaws to be considered the greatest sports game this year.

The roster updates leave a lot to be desired. Too many missing players, and players in FA's that should be on teams. If they could correct that, then I'd be happy.

Looks like you guys need to change your pictures.

I wish they would have made a game where defense was important and fouls were more realistic.

I dislike these games where the score always goes to 120+

Y'know, I gotta ask...
Have any of you guys seen a little game known as "the Show"?
Stop the nonsense !!

As offline gamer (only), after tweaking some coaching sliders (to make teams call more plays etc.) and editing sliders/tendencies, the game plays much better. I only play 12-min quarter games, and most games I've been playing recently didn't get to 100. I even had some games in the high 80's (could have been low 80's, but I played bad D the last minute).

It's possible, though I do agree that we shouldn't make so many changes to get the game to play more realistically (at least what I think is realistic).
