yeah, but only if the game doesn't give you a crappy pass animation out of the double team. seems like half the passes out of double teams get tipped because your player throws the ball right into one of the two defenders, even if there was plenty of room to make a different type of pass. i hope they improve passing out of double teams to make the pass animations smarter.

Good on them for letting a separate team work on the next-gen version.

LOL COME ON blues no way you can turn this into bad news. You dudes are a wicked tuff crowd. You KNOW passing speed was an issue OUTSIDE of pass selection. Can we just have a moment of celebration that now zones won't be as powerful because the ball movement will be there ? just a second ? LOL

Pass selection is a different issue altogether and yes the logic needs to be worked on but your yeah but only had me cracking up.

On top of that, hearing the sound of the hand-on-basketball contact during hard blocks would be nice, too.

You confirm that passing speed has been improved Czar? Because that's another thing that I feel I read every year and I thought it took a step back this year from 2K12 after the patch.

I don't have a big problem with the passing or passing speed on 2k13. My issue is that the 1) defenders recover to fast, 2) when they close out they are able to stop momentum and prevent a drive, 3) defenders foul shooters on most of there perimeter shot attempts and the fouls almost never get called.

If they called fouls when a defender is running full speed and jumps into a shooter, that in itself would kill the 1-3-1/ double team and recover cheese that plagues 2k13.

Not everyone in the league can pass, and passing is a talent that has never been fairly respected in 2k. We all know that if you have a team full of players that can pass, then you have a rare collection of players that will win alot of games.

I concur! Great points, but pass speed was most definitely an issue as well IMO. Combine fixing all the issues you stated and I'd be ecstatic!
