People who want Sliders, really just want it for Teammates/CPU.

For me, they dont even have to put the sliders for users. Just the CPU and Tendency sliders. Like toning down the success of low post shot.

Since the AI has been improved, Teammates should play more smarter. If teammates can play tighter defense and Sig Skills have a impact, they will play a whole lot better. Playing with a person who is a Corner Specialist or a person who has Brick Wall, should be fun. I hope a teammate with LockDown Defender, actually lockdown their guy. Last year, they played too loose and gave up alot of pts.

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.

This is a old build, every 2k video we;ve seen has been a old build. Also LD2k said the devs are still working on the game as we speak. I'm basically saying those most likely are old faces and jerseys, we don't know what the final product looks like, because 2k hasn't shown it.

It does.

What i'm saying is, people want sliders AND Crew mode, but they both can't co-exist with each other.

Lol.

As terrible as the gameplay looks, one thing Live 13 gets right is the overall ambient lighting. The court is lit very realistically and the players are also lit in a way that they look like they exist in a real environment, as if there's soft lighting reflected from the floor.

It's when you look at them close up or they start moving that it looks cruddy. Frankly it didn't look as bad as I thought it would. It does look like a 6 year old game and dead on arrival this year, but they can maybe start to compete in 2-3 years.

Crew mode probably isn't in this year's game, so having sliders in MP only helps.

There can also be separate modes of MP, one that's compatible with online crew and one that can be tweaked for offline play online.

Yep, that would work.

You guys are killing my excitement for the Madden release. I can't take too much more.

# 129 Goffs @ 08/21/12 07:21 PM

So is there no more written insight? Like maybe this Friday? I need some good reading material when I'm at work....

Yeah, I am hoping that there is written insights. I like vids, but I dont mind spending 5-10 mins reading an insight. Especially for the Art/Presentation insight.

# 131 Saturnis @ 08/21/12 07:44 PM

now this is more like it, although i seen some animations that have been around since 2k10 and it's getting annoying, overall i love it. Some of these animations need to stop being reused every year though.

# 132 Eman5805 @ 08/21/12 07:53 PM

I had thought we'd get a lil' of both. Writen insights with vids to display a few things. Cuz you always get more info from the devs themselves out of five or six paragraphs vs a 2 minute vid.

No matter. Any info is lagniappe so I'm gangsta till the next one.

there's nothing wrong with reusing animations. as long as the animations they're keeping are good animations. in real life, players repeat similar moves and dunks all the time, so why should 2k need to come up with completely new animations every year? how many times have you seen Lebron do that same one-handed power dunk? He repeats it all the time in real life. a crossover is crossover, a layup is a layup, and a tomahawk dunk is a tomahawk dunk. some animations are effective and serve a purpose...so there's no need to replace animations that work. now, reusing bad animations, that's another story.

it's similar to the people that complain every year that the player faces look the same as the previous game. why should 2k be expected to redo all of their player models every year? Last I checked most NBA players don't have their faces drastically altered with plastic surgery during the offseason. Why would 2k redo a player's face if they already had him looking accurate in the previous game? 2k's faces are usually very accurate, yet every year there's somebody who complains that 2k didn't redo the player faces.

Really liked what I saw. 2K13 is definitely on the right track to greatness (if the little problems don't show up a week after release).

I agree but he looks way better than he did in 2k12 imo. CP3 looked best in 2k8-10 imo.

# 137 yungmoney811 @ 08/21/12 08:45 PM

Did anyone notice that teams are still wearing the wrong color warm - up suits? In 2k11 they were all corrrect but now we have teams like the lakers wearing yellow warmups on the road and purple warmups at home. I hope this is fixed when the game drops..other than that it looks GREAT

Damn, 2K13 is going to be a beast. Loved everything I saw and can't wait to see more.

Really like the new cyberfaces for Kevin Love and Chris Paul.
