NBA 2K13 E3 Preview

12:59 PM - June 7, 2012 by RaychelSnr

Erick Boenisch, producer for NBA 2K13, recently gave us a hands-off preview of things to come. While we were shown a small sample size, I spotted a few good nuggets.

Some of you may notice, from time to time when player animations quickly transition into other animations, the player sort of looks robotic or maybe even warp into other players or objects. You see this when players go from a basketball move to a celebration, for example. This is referred to as an Ambient Animation. 2K Sports says they have worked very hard on removing those odd animations to make them look more realistic.

While briefly showing off some gameplay, here are a few things I noticed in a game between a user controlled Miami Heat and an AI San Antonio Spurs squad.

They better not remove the current allstar game that 2k12 my player and association mode have.

	And if you don't preorder the game, your play-now and career modes will still have an All-Star game, it'll just use the previous year's venue and uniforms (in this case, Orlando's) until the All-Star game is actually played and 2K gets permission to patch in the new skins.

I may be in the minority here , but I feel 2K basketball is going in the wrong direction. They are trying to hard to always change something. I also had 2k12 and barely played it. I put in way more time with 2k11. What I witnessed in the video I probably will be passing on 2k13. Im not impressed.

If Mike Wang changes up the control scheme to NBA LIVE scheme, i will never go back to EA! nuff said. I like 2K and what they provide, but still trying to get used to the iso motion and its already year 2 going onto 3.

cheers

Having ASW in My Player mode is a plus... Now if they give it to us in OA I'll probably have a heart attack.... BUT I'm not sold just yet.... They need to bring back crew.... Who am I kidding.... I was buying 2k anyways...

I'm with you but I don't it. 2k said they like have movement solely on with the left hand and passing/shooting solely on the right.

What's wrong with the isomotion?

I really don't see it.

# 30 BigRebelD @ 06/08/12 12:30 AM

I hope they tone down the bump animations while you are off the ball. I can't stand that!

But it doesn't cause players to completely stop in place. I mean, have you actually tried running plays in My Player and not be a PG? Try to follow the play chart that calls you to run off a specific screen in the post...won't be able to do it without completely disregarding the arrows, I promise you. Same goes for just seeing a blasted screen somewhere. Have to avoid your defender like the plague. And being a post player and want to move to the other side of the paint to receive a pass? Get ready to get stymied again and again and again.

I don't even want the bumping to be removed...just let us adjust and move around the bumping. The game takes control completely out of your hands for those damn bumps.

I couldn't pick one because there are too many emotions going through my head, when I saw this. Why? Just Why?

# 33 LiveAllDaWay @ 06/08/12 02:03 AM

So what about for the ppl that don't pre-order NBA 2k13 would they styll have All-Star Package?

# 34 truintellectplaya @ 06/08/12 05:12 AM

Cool, I really don't pay much attention to this stuff because I am getting it anyway. It is the only game I trust being a 360 guy

The video really? You relize its June?

# 36 pgrell @ 06/08/12 10:06 AM

i hope they implement pressure passing that would help and better help d schemes westbrooks and d.roses of the league got in the paint too easy on 2k12 wit minimal resistance

# 37 Jmb4life @ 06/08/12 10:16 AM

Man, as far as isomotion goes, I think they should go back to the 2K11 system. It gave us so much more control. I miss being able to hit a dub cross out of a size up. Now when I size up, every move that happens after is something completely random; usually a bogus spin move or the ugly repetitive behind the back. And both always lead to me getting bump thus making the move pointless. I miss the 2K11 system. Why do game developers always think they have to change something that isn't broken every year? Just leave that aspect of the game alone and improve OTHER areas...passing, speed differential, etc.

# 38 Shmaks @ 06/08/12 10:48 AM

I hope 2K finally will enable graphic shaders (lighting, shadows on jerseys etc) in PC version

# 39 bumpyface @ 06/08/12 11:36 AM

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

# 40 Playboy� @ 06/08/12 12:41 PM
