03:16 PM - August 23, 2012 by RaychelSnr

Since its debut on Spike TV and particularly over the last 2 weeks, much has been revealed about NBA 2K13. As a fan of the franchise, I found some of these revelations exciting and others not so much. Here are some of my NBA 2k13 pros and cons based on what we have seen and heard to this point.

Let the casuals skip it. I mean 2K said the little things matter presentation needs this to have it a more realistic basketball game. Bring back the pa announcing home and away starting lineups is a big up to the presentation. 2K doesn't have to show this part of presentation every time, they could balance this out with other TNT integration. But having that in will make it simulation play

are you taking and getting all your evidence from videos you have seen, or have you actually played the game?

Another con? Too many Gamescon vids. Yeck. I want a current build vid or 4 so I can more accurately judge but, the biggest con is no demo yet

I'm excited as hell about this game. Can't wait to check out the new controls. Tired of replaying Live 10 as prep. Lol...

The only time we see pregame intros now days is in the NBA Finals. Back in the day they would show pregame intros during regular season national broadcast also. They don't do this anymore even locally.

I wouldn't mind having it in the game, but only show it during the finals.

In 2k10 and 2k11 there were several intros and pre-game rituals. ie. players walking in the hall, working out with the shooting coach, the cavs crazy pre-game routines etc. I like what 2k did in these games. I would like them to add the lay-up line with the announcers talking about the match up in Big Games. Also add something like the players stretching before games.

IMO, 2k has done a good job with the intros. They could improve on the randomness of the intros however. They show the same ones too many times in a row.

Same, I even liked what they did last year. Where they showed the SG/SF together and show their stats, same with the PF/C and then the PG.

Imagine this in the playoffs, or better yet, all star game!

Skip the Nicki Minaj crap to 3:15.

my cons
-probably again-no option to turn of right away all intoduction intros, halftime analysses ,dancers all stuff i always want to skip and taking ages to actually play the game after halftime,and even waiting to start ballgame
didnt like some prsentation out therein 2k13

-movement with the ball and the dribbling ,seems better but basic change of direction is far off as well some crosses are just look bad ~feet movement and ball physique when bounsing

-i didnt play nba 2k1 much due to my pc crashed and i didnt have the chance to play that mj gold games should be option to play them again

-no numerous broadcast cameras ,should be option to change multiple broadcas cams in every arena some of them was great to play and only possible in some ,also no angle options in camera views

my pros
-hope in new control scheme ,
-new animations ,
-collisions
-better more balanced game tempo
hard to teel just from the vids

if they could include pre game intros like what they did in nba 2k11's intro for the chicago bulls in every association opener or finals game, that would really complete the experience i mean imagine having http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y41-orBow1c this electrifying the mood upon starting every game.
