As some of you guys know, I'm a huge Lakers and Kobe fan - I've had instances where Ronnie and I played where I'd hold the ball out, he'd get up on me to play close and I'd spin off of him to counter his tight defense as he reaches to take a beautiful looking jump shot.

One of my favorite new things about the game this year.

This year...we have to kill them first!

Hoping for the next insight to be art related

That's sick. Can't wait to see the new animations this year. I'm probably gonna preorder once I decide on renewing my Xbox Live membership. I've always tried that on 2k12 but get that bumping animation a lot of the time lol

looks good, but i'm really hankerin' for some gameplay footage...a nice 7-8 minute clip would really hit the spot. these edited clips in the insight vids are such a small sampling. quit teasing me, 2k.

# 106 BobbyColtrane @ 08/21/12 06:12 PM

Looks great but I hate that animation where Carmelo gets contact and throws it up lefthanded. It was in 2k12 and it's unrealistic, people don't go to their off hand in those situations, he would still try to shoot it with his right. Disappointed to see it's still there.

agree. and if possible some teams outside of OKC and MIA too

Perhaps LAL vs BKN or PHI vs NOH

Sliders would ruin the aspect of MP mode.

Imagine turning your 3 point shot up to 100. That's easy stuff right there, easy MP points too.

Plus, why do people want crew back, but also want sliders in MP mode? The two can't mix well with each other.

# 109 sonofbluz72 @ 08/21/12 06:15 PM

when you really look at this game and then you look at the gameplay that was dropped by nba live 13(or stolen however you want to look at it) you can really see that nba 2k13 is going to blow that game out of the water!!

People who want sliders in MP don't want it so they can jack up 3s, but for a more realistic experience.

exactly...they could even leave out the shot success sliders...as long as the tendency sliders and the new contested shot sliders are in there, i'm happy.

A lot of people have suggested that they create an online MP that you use exclusively for crew games and would be completely separate from your offline MP. You would still be able to get experience and do drills, but all your games would be crew games. Would eliminate hacked players.

# 114 LouB @ 08/21/12 06:28 PM

Looks nice! BUTTTTT theres still a problem that no one is noticing, players at home dont wear black sleeves or black shoes!!!! they go with the white ones!!! This would make the game more realistic!!!!!!!

That is what I am expecting. I expect it to be a Audio/Presentation Insight next week.

Since MP info is usually given on the 1st week of Sept/The new Mode mid of month/Association mid of month/Online end of month, I expect to see the Audio/Presentation insight new week.

notice the statement said that THE DETAILS ON THE FOOTWEAR HAS GOTTEN SOME ATTENTION not the footwear has gotten some attention ur misconstruing what ur reading.....
in other words they dont look low res like the console version of 2k12

Uh..yea, i understand that.

# 118 wallofhate @ 08/21/12 06:36 PM

I absolutely loved nba2k12 I actually think its the best sports game I've ever played. I'm sure this year it'll be even better. With that being said I just can't wrap my head around the failure of getting the player likeness with allot of the star players. I hope this build faces are gonna be improved with the final product. Again small gripe I'm sure the game is gonna be great.

# 119 OGKing @ 08/21/12 06:37 PM

Hey, at least we know the Knicks have new jerseys now
