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

[d23x]

I would like for them to add in the 13 man rotation that the NBA has allowed this year in a future patch. I like the current one just put out though.

I need to experiment some with run plays as they were originally set. I'm not sure about it needing to be zero anymore.

don't waste your time, i experimented it for you, it's still backwards.
The thing I do not understand is how did they make a mistake so obvious and serious and, after a patch, leave it as is.... Donald Duck is their beta tester.

I like that the offensive rebounding issues was addressed, along with the much higher reach-in fouls being called now for people who use the steal button too much. Game is less sloppy/frustrating on offense now playing against other people and not having to worry so much about the ball getting knocked loose/stolen after a rebound, post-up/protect ball stance, or even just dribbling the ball and setting up plays.

I wish they would of addressed the pass/catching system some though. There are too many passes that get thrown off defenders bodies, bounce passes thrown in traffic leading to kick balls/turnovers, very close passes that never reach the recipients hands, and cpu defenders that tip the ball still a little bit too much.

Also, off-ball the bumping animation when you run into someone is very annoying this year. Trying to move around the court and play defense or trying to cut or move off-ball on offense is a pain. Inside the paint on defense if you bump into anyone and try to jump to contest/block the shot your jump is often very delayed or your player simply won't jump at all. This really needs to be toned down.

On pump fakes, the defender if jumping can still block the ball and knock it out of the ball handlers hands. That needs to be addressed.

It seems like dunks in traffic frequency/success might of been toned down just a little bit which is good. However, they really need to work on the contact/collision physics alot more for 2k14 so that on defense you can draw contact/collision animations on dunks with the possiblity of sometimes blocking the ball. Defenders hands morphing through balls on blocks needs to get worked on. There also needs to be less sliding on the court on contact and better footplanting. Defense inside the paint needs to mimic the way it was in 2k11.
