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.

I promise U this...If NBA2k12 would've been made by EA, everyone would've been having a cow. This might've been one of the most frustrating games that I've ever played! Can U imagine if Madden's online worked like 2k!? No online lobby or online ranking! I bought that DLC & couldn't even play against my friend who also bought it bcuz playing online is randomized opponents. (I also couldn't host an online Association with those legends) And the sliding! And the cheating AI! And the broken passing! And the CPU waiting until 5 seconds left on the clock & then hitting 70% of those shots! Seriously my friends, we need to hold 2k to a higher standard of quality or at the very least, equal standard to that of their major competition. I'm supposed to give them $60 this year bcuz they added the All-Star back!? LOL 2k. Step Ur game up!

This comment is for chandlerbang. I agree with you my friend. I don't think it should be easy to drive the lane for players that do not have good ball handling attribute. In 2k12, nobody could drive the lane. The isomotion was non existent. Let me make this clear so you can understand. IF A PLAYER HAS GOOD BALL HANDLING SKILLS SUCH AS A D. WADE, LEBRON, GINOBLI, PARKER, ETC. They should be able to get in the lane with some consistency. Im not saying make it easy for them. But let driving to the lane be solely based on the attribute of the ball handler or how good the defensive man is that is holding the ball handler.

Will CPU controlled superstars play like superstars. In 2k12, as in 2K11, DRose, for example, was nothing (CPU). If I played the Bulls locked to a different player, DRose never scored.

On top of the gameplay issues already mentioned I pray they fix the other issues plaguing the game from incorrect stats in game and my biggest pet peeve, the hot zone issue for every computer or user generated rookie.

It completely ruins franchise mode once enough rookies get into the game since all of them are constantly cold shooters from everywhere on the floor. Not to mention that bug has been in the game now for 2 years.

Its hard for defenses to keep him out of the lane. Manu can get in lane almost every time he drives. Because he is a good slasher. Mr. Mke Wang you have to make the game fun when it comes to isomotion moves for players who can do perform isomotion. Please dont make it hard for good ball handlers to drive the lane. Thats what basketball is all about.

It's not whether he drives in the lane or not, it's HOW he did it in the video, did you see how Harden was back peddling?

this comment is for almostbobsaget. I dont care about getting on people's nerves. If you dont like what im saying, dont read them. Plain and simple.

This comment is for almostbobsaget. If 2k12 would have lived up to its potential, i wouldnt be on here posting comments at all. So please dont tell me that im getting on people's nerves with my comments. 2k12 got on my nerves when i spent my 63 dollars on a game that wasn't taking seriously by its developers in the 2012. So do my a favor and shut the F$$k up when your referring to my comments

I saw the preview and they should just do what Live did It was wxciting with commentary and not very easy. I had Guitar hero and this will probabaly be too easy but I think it will be a good mode and addition for 2K to improve upon.
