No... Highly doubt it... We need like iOS hackers, PC hackers to see what we can do. If the PS3 couldn't be modded, highly doubt the PS4 will and XBOX One since they would probably wanna stop with the mods... (Or not.)

How old are you? Besides, you completely miss the point. Self alleys are unstoppable because there is no animation in the game to counter the move after the player starts gathering. Defenders get pushed out of the way regardless of what you do. The same with spin dunks and up/unders in the post.
Then there is the ankle breaker sig skill...which means stumbling animations aren't triggered by the defender overreacting, but by the ballhandler spamming moves until the game decides to let the defender fall down. It's a dumbed down game of chance that way, and not related to skill at all.

So even though 2k13 is a solid game, it's pretty simple minded to assume that criticism on the defensive end is actually a result of "Y'all garbage. Play sum d on ya own doe. Aint nuthin wrong with 2k13, u sux".
I mean seriously? It doesn't matter how "good" you defend, if your opponent knows what he's doing, with a smart combination of sig skill stacking and using animations without proper counters, you'll get torched more often than not.

I'd rather buy a kind of 2k13 with next gen gameplay than 2k14 with insane graphics and the same dumbed down mechanics we've got right now. Now next gen is exciting and there should at least be a foundation for more complex gameplay this year. It can't be perfectly tuned, and nobody should expect that. But there should definitely be significant improvements regarding gameplay mechanics.

About the trailer...am I the only one not really impressed with Lebron's facial texture? I mean the player animations look great, especially Ray Allen in the background was damn close to reality. But the facial animations of Lebron didn't look particularly realistic to me.

No, you're definitely not the only one. That threw me for an immediate loop. I struggled to recover and appreciate the rest of the sneak peek because I couldn't get that facial weirdness out of my mind. And I think there's a reason the top comment for the video on YouTube right now is, "1:01 Dat mouth". It was a little scary.

I liked the clips though. I've relented posting in this thread up to now because I was kind of afraid to be "that guy", I just wasn't left speechless with my jaw on the floor or anything. I mean that in the best way possible.

I suppose the interview with 2k Lebron was kinda created in a hurry for the trailer, why should a sports game engine be able to handle players talking random stuff? It's simply a way to get real life Lebron more attached to the brand and its followers. And this worked perfectly looking at people already knowing what they'll spend their money on in 4 months regardless of how the product turns out. Don't think they'll implement these overblown expressions in the full game.
But still, with all the hype surrounding "next gen", default faces should really be better than stuff some chinese kids do at home. Looking at 2k13 PC, this has not exactly been the case.
So I hope at least with the next gen versions, 2k will deliver game art beyond things some random dudes provide for free. If you look at globals/courts/faces provided by the community, 2k should really step up their game.

I'm more impressed with Kobe's face. Looks pretty spot on. The skin texture looks real too. Lebron's model looks really sleepy though. I think they need to open his eyes up a little more.
