The trailer actually was better the second time watching it. Not sure of why they did the whole thing zoomed in. The beauty of 2k to me is how the game moves in actual gameplay scenarios and camera angles. They probably would've been better off releasing the 4th quarter of this game as a video.

wow after looking at the pic u posted and watching the video again, the blue is waaay off and the #s on the back of the jerseys is too small. the last name text is wrong also. freeze the video at 0:19 and compare

Great trailer, loved the smooth movements,

Next step for 2k should be towards the art department

MJ has a weird green shade on the back of his head

You are right, 2K has had a problem lately representing real life colors I don't know why. People complain a lot about reds or blues, but for me navy has been a problem in uniforms too (it looks as if it were too blue, too saturated)

i like that you can protect the ball in different ways now and even swinging it low or high before a drive.

# 46 unknowndevil @ 09/14/12 05:13 AM

obviously Jordan miss the shot, or else 2k will show it :P

# 47 nddot @ 09/14/12 05:15 AM

why have jordan taking the last shot when you have magic in your team?

people need to hop off jordan's lap for a second.

The trailer was meh. Like i said in an other thread, having both team in the game is pretty pointless if there's no international mode.

Just things like bird having the mullet, Ewing, Stockton, Pippen and Malone all having the same cyberfaces, from 2k11 and 2k12 which were inaccurate, I think the legends faces being off is why I'm disappointed, I mean they are legends and I think they deserved to be in the game the right way.

I dont think theres that much more they can do with the processing power of the current gen of consoles. Thats why gameplay has been the focus the last few years. With PC's that have a lot more horsepower you can really make 2k shine.

The trailer was good. But the models of Bird, Malone, Robinson, Ewing and Stockton are off and just takes away the authentic feel of the Dream Team.

# 50 CookieRocks @ 09/14/12 06:19 AM

Am I alone in thinking it was quite cool to sit and watch that trailer, and imagine if those two great teams could ever face off how awesome it'd be.

Not really bothered if they haven't got shoes or colours right, that's not exactly important.

No I'm just being realistic. When you max out the processing power you need to take something away from somewhere to put it somewhere else. Madden hasn't changed graphically the last two years either, nor mlb the show. That's just the way it is.

But speaking on just the trailer, I thought it was pretty good. I kinda expected a cliffhanger when I saw the scoreboard. I like some of the player movement, d will crossover looked explosive, cp3 spinning off of Jordan was nice. The thing I didn't like was, what it looked like kobe sliding passed a defender when he changed his layup. It looked 2k12 ish.

It does make you wonder what the 2K art team responsible for models and faces does on the non-major-graphics-upgrade years. Make some rookies, fix a few stars, and call it a year? Perhaps they're busy doing 2K14 already and preparing for another complete overhaul.

I think this year's game might most strongly resemble a previous years of almost all the 2K releases.

Agreed but I thought Jordans face in 2K11 looked better than what is shown right now in this trailer. What has happened to him?!

And KD's head looks so weird, when he bends over and you see it from the top. Has a weird shape.

Because hairstyles have nothing to do with graphics. That would have to do with the art dept(whoever works on the player likenesses).

I agree that having the right shoes and gear etc goes a long way to making things authentic, but christ, shouldn't we just be HAPPY that Jordan and the legends are in the game at all? I'd rather have them in with poor gear that we can change than not having them full stop.

Trailer was a little underwhelming to be honest, music was poor and the graphics were a little dodgy. Although we all know Jordan splashed that shot in Kobe's grill at the end.

Dream team all day.

# 56 Goffs @ 09/14/12 07:07 AM

So we get to see some 4th quarter action and no sweat only an odd shiny effect.....player movement is very organic and seamless but when it comes to the skin it looks dull and lifeless.

I'ts old school Denver jerseys all over again...2k can't seem to get that dark blue right...

# 57 kjjnesb @ 09/14/12 07:13 AM

CP3 and KD's new faces were the highlight of the trailer to me they looked awful in 2k12

# 58 madmax17 @ 09/14/12 07:22 AM

Jordan makes that shot for all the children.

# 59 CallMeDrop @ 09/14/12 07:25 AM

2K should just release game play videos from now on.

# 60 tcnumba10 @ 09/14/12 07:43 AM

Not to niptuck or anything but Lebron's headband is still way too low, he wears it higher on his head in real life...
