I wonder if you can switch back to the 2K12 control scheme...

DaWolf comin' through with some footage. how'd you pull that off? did you drop down from the ceiling on a wire mission-impossible style?

# 125 DaWolf @ 08/16/12 12:15 PM

Lol kinda like that. I was hiding behind a Group of People so that those Guys couldnt See me. Its Not the best view though. Ob my iPhone ist Looks Fine. Unfortunately you wont See much of the New collission System in the footage.

^^2K please listen to this man!!

No NBA broadcast shows replays immediately after the play happens. Replays come at the first break in action. I would love this for 2K13 but please get this in for 2K14.

And

at people tripping off a button tapping jumpshot as if you actually saw whoever was controlling Ray Allen press the button.

In the video I notice the same exact shoes from 2K12, generic ones too. Is it really that hard to make a better looking shoe? I also notice there are no home/away colored accessories, just one color for both. It looks weird seeing LBJ wearing a black arm sleeve with the all white unis.

Looks like 2K12.5, and I'm staring to regret my pre-order....

DaWolf,

Since its just a demo, I dont know if this is possible. But has there been any word as to offline settings being saved for use online (coach settings, presentation options etc. Not sliders obviously).

It gets to be real lame, having to change my camera, set subs to manual, playcalling to manual, timeouts to manual, and late game fouling to manual, every single time.

Thanks.

# 129 renewill27 @ 08/16/12 12:50 PM

Looking good love the smoothness of the gameplay.

# 130 Moonwalker26 @ 08/16/12 12:50 PM

The thing that bothers me about jumpers is that they look so strait like there is no movements form legs or anything, I wish they would add more J's the maybe lean back a bit or have a little airtime that actually look nice that have more flick of wrist.

Always puzzles me that 2K can fail on so minor things like that for so many years.

Last year it happened exactly the same at gamescon, so maybe art is the last thing they update. Hope is the last thing that should be lost...

There are such things as slightly unrealistic vs. completely immersion breaking. Just because the timing of the replay isn't exactly the same as a live broadcast doesn't mean it should give license to replay styles never seen in one. Of course I would prefer it to mimic a real game completely, but there is such a thing as degrees of realism.

I mean, would you be okay with the psychadelic graffitti cel shaded replays of the 2k12 Legends DLC in your main game just because the dunk replays are mistimed anyway?

I'll simplify:

Correctly timed realistic replays > incorrectly timed realistic replays > incorrectly timed unrealistic replays > replays where all players wear clown shoes.

# 135 Vni @ 08/16/12 01:23 PM

I hope they toned down the crasy effects of the Man of the game replays. It was really too much this year, so much that I would skip it everytime and go in the Highlights for that player after the game.

Acceptable breaks from reality is the right phrase I was going for.

I don't mind the idea of Nike+ dunk meter whatnot mainly because you have to meet a set criteria to get them. You'll know before you even go up for the jam if you'll see the black and white stuff.

Think it's different and don't mind different. Even if it doesn't work.

I just thought it strange that the fact that the replays happen instantly should over score whatever weirdness is happening inside the replay, but that is accepted. Probably because it's always been that way.

To each its own, but to base your purchase on things like these is ludicrous. See the bigger picture.

Where is the video, or are people talking about the video from the 30 something second clip??

We're desperate for footage man.
