I wouldn't get too excited over that. First of all, he was wide open (Westbrook also takes contested pull-up jumpers), and second, it's probably easier to configure his tendencies than someone like Dirk or Melo or Chris Paul.

I don't really care that he was wide open or that he made it, just that he plays like him. I'm well aware that he also has a tendency to force shots. It's not just that moment that has me excited for, a lot of little things that happened in the video definitely caught my attention.

Can't wait for the demo
My favorite part of that vid was the brick wall pick. Looked great. Spacing, off ball movement, animations, and passing looked so much better than 2k12. Can't wait for October.

I know its a work-in-progress but Battier's player model is cracking me up.

Do you guys think Jay-Z had anything to do with all the golden user interface stuff?

I'm pretty sure he did because it looks like the Watch the Throne album cover, just not the same gold color though. As big a Jay-Z fan i am, I really dislike it and they should've kept it the same way from last year.

For those wondering, as the vid was in Polish, my native language, they didn't say anything new and, to say it lightly, weren't very knowledgeable.

To the vid: there is still some skating and floating in air, but the game will flourish in the hands of competent bball gamer.

Looks good. Will look and play better once Rondo is God hex's the heck out of the roster and I can get some good sliders

The passing on the move looks to be improved. Those chest passes looked better than 2k12. The AI looked most impressive in this video. In particular, Harden used a nice triple threat move along with a stepback shot.

The annoying "live ball", cpu up/unders, and unrealistic bumping from 2k12 looks to have almost vanished form these videos shown. The new animations for on-ball defense look very realistic also.

Yes.

Argh. Knew it. *facepalm*

Having game presentation elements look more like a rap album cover than a TNT broadcast just doesn't make sense, given the progress 2K had made the last couple of years.

Take a look at Madden 2K13 for presentation that looks eerily like a broadcast-- that's what we need more of, not less because of compromises that serve marketing cross promotionals. I would take authentic presentation and mediocre tunes to inauthentic presentation and a few good rap tracks anyday.

No one does authentic commentary like 2K though, especially with the addition of Kerr.

Yeah like previous poster said...I like JayZ alot...but having him interfere with presentaion like that sucks...what "Tv style broadcast" has that kinda over lay...smh...

These are definitely not the fingerprints from him that we needed. The feedback on it seems mildly negative overall so far. I haven't seen many people say they really like it.

I was a little wary hearing that he would be involved, and my concerns seem to be validated. It's not a giant deal but why pay someone to help presentation take steps backwards? Maybe that money could have served to help entice Pippen back on board.

Maybe they can add an off and on switch for it in presentation settings. Ugly gold crap =off

That would be beautiful. Now I'm more convinced the shield motif that shows up randomly is Jay-Z sneaking elements in from the Nets logo into everything, which is a little lame if that's the case.

That's kind of like having Mark Cuban sneak in prancing ponies during wipes if he was producing the game. Wait, some people might actually like that.

Another video i found for my OS peeps.. Yes they suck, but you see some nice animations mid video.

Right, and that's what I meant. I'm not making an effort to be negative, but I just felt that I should point out how one player mimicking his real-life tendencies could easily be a coincidence, and that it's not tantamount to proof that most other players will do the same. This is an area in which 2K has struggled for a very long time, and I hope and pray, to anyone who will listen, that they'll improve this facet of 2K13, but I'd be cautiously enthusiastic until the game touches my hands.

I'm seeing that half spin a bit much....is that triggered with turbo or done with the new control stick?
