It may have, but that's not how the development of sports games works. You are expected to put out a product every year. You are also then expected to add 1 or 2 NEW features to said product.

Once KUSH got canned this series really never had a chance. Many of us including myself thought VC would save the series because of their track record with the NBA Series.

Personally, I think VC did a great job with the gameplay in this series. There is still some dropped balls, but overall, it provides deep strategy and realistic results.

I get that graphics are important to some people, but think we knew they were never going to get where the competition was. It bums me out some that it prevented a lot of people from seeing what they did do.

Last year they had a great series of blogs detailing what they did, and they nailed the new features. But all anyone talked about was the graphics.

As for this year, I think OS did a disservice by capturing low res video and putting them out as screenshots. We can blame 2K for not providing them, but then, we have last year's game to look at, and people are fooling themselves if they think it will be different.

I know I'm in the minority here but the great pitching mechanics and (I assume) updated commentary are enough to make this an immediate purchase but ONLY if the framerate/stuttering that was so prevalent in 2K12 has been fixed. That completely ruined it for me last year.

For what system? I had no frame rate issues on the 360, minus a pop here and there on foul balls that had no bearing on gameplay at all.

I doubt they invested time in cleaning that up.

EA was and is disappointing enough. Compared to the screen shots of the show this is grainy and just bad looking.

Still waiting for another roster update NHL. NBA2k has come up with three since your last one.

I realize there is a high probability the game is the same as 2K12 but I am still holding out hope some work was done. Mt Oread, I don't need many changes to give 2k13 a buy but the one thing (big I realize) I want changed is the bat off the ball physics and excessive opposite field homers improved.

Point taken, I'm not saying 2k is a bad game, it's quite fun to play, I just don't isee improvements from the early videos. I sat on the fence for the past few years on it mainly cause I can't stand Matt Vascursion's voiceovers! but this year it looks as if SD studios really listened to their fan base and pumped out a winner, if 2k does improve I will get it but not for $60, anyway it was more of a suggestion than an assumption, enjoy your season whatever game you buy!

I am a huge 2K fan. I would and have happily plopped down my credit card each year for incremental updates. However, if 2K13 is nothing more than a $60 roster update at the behest of the MLB, as some have speculated, then I will have a hard time buying in this year. I am all well and fine if they want to do a 'roster' update but I am not ok if they want to insist that such a game is a game deserving of $60 price tag. I'll go drop $60 on lottery tickets and have a better chance of winning something and get my roster updates online for free. Shame on you 2K if this is the case.
