NBA 2K13 Patch 1.02 Released, Details Included, Post Your Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

[kt-od]

I got this game for $25 on Amazon. After reading through some of this, I'm kind of concerned with opening it. I have no idea what a euro step 3 pt is, and I'm basically an offline association player. I have bought they last 3 years of this game. Do some of you offline association players still have fun with this game, is it worth me opening?

Thanks in advance for your help.

No, you don't have to start a new one.

The 3 point hopstep is when you (on xbox) press the red B-button which makes you perform this move and then shoot a 3. This is only possible if your player (preferably a PG/SG) has the Acrobat signature skill.

So you hold your stick to the left, press B (twice? so you hopstep) and then press X. The CPU will never do this. It can only happen online.

Association is a fun mode to play so just open the game and enjoy it, no need to worry.

I have no idea what a eurostep 3 is either, but I think that issue existed already, and people upset that it wasn't fixed, not that it was newly created. I could be mistaken though, since again, I have no idea what that even means. Anyway I was literally prepared to go sell the game to Best Buy with how things were before the patch, but I'm pretty happy now, 3 games in. I'd go ahead and open it, especially if you only play offline.

Yes offline this game is good, online it is also good (with the right players).

The 3pt glitch really only affects online users (as the CPU does not do it). What it is, is doing a eurostep at the 3pt line with a player who has the acrobat sig skill and it will cause the player to make a very high % of 3's.

I play MyCareer..

- Glad they fixed reaching in, but frustrated for now until I get use to it lol.

- Still not happy with CPU Off Rebounding ridiculousness. Players on your team rarely attempt to go for the rebound.. or box out. But the CPU team... will box you out when you're out by the three point line lol. Hell boxing out for me doesn't seem as easy as it was in 2K12.. in my opinion.

- Was hoping they'd tone down some of the off-ball animations for certain things. Seems like its more animations than it was in the last 2K. Takes away from the game.. in my opinion. Quite annoying when your player automatically jumps into an animation.. leaving the player your guarding wide open.

- In bound passing is broken for me now.. so that sucks. I have to call a time out in order to fix it. Wasn't penalized for it though.. just hung there while I frantically hammered the X button while screaming obscenities for a good 10secs lol.

- Saved in the 2Qtr of the Rising Stars Challenge game, thinking I could come back to it like I've done with other games. NOT.. I came back to finish the game and it was finished lol. Never had that issue before.

Other than those few things it's all good. I do wish the good folks at 2k didn't seem to be such lazy dev's with some of the games features and graphics. The game play is still good regardless of the bugs and glitches. But some of the recycled graphics and things they continue to use since I started (2K11), could use some attention lol.

Gotta fix rotation issue...if I set cpu teams minutes it should be close to playing the same amount, but when I start season or association mode, cpu reset its minutes...how lame.

Thanks for the info guys. I will definitely open it up and start playing it then.

Realized something else..

Fouls.. the CPU won't take you out of the game. And if it does, you're back in the game in that same quarter. I did a little test.. I got 5 fouls by the start of the 2qrt.. and the CPU still didn't remove me from the game. I was calling timeouts and everything. Still kept me in the game.
