My biggest complaint of this trailer might just be the last shot. Sure jordan would take the last shot, but no way in hell would jordan take THAT shot. That is a kobe shot, that is a melo shot...those guys love those type of shots. Jordan was the best of all time not because he could knock down those shots, but because he rarely ever let himself take those kind of shots. Jordan deceptively would get that high percentage shot that guys like kobe and melo dont know even exists.

Pulling up from 20 feet for the game winning shot? Nah, jordan would have crossed one way and have kobe go to the other way and taken an 18 footer instead. Or jordan would have put his head down, dived towards the rim as far as he could go and pull up on a dime and take a shot from ft line extended. Or he would have put his back to kobe backed him down a bit and quickly pivoted into a 15 footer fallaway....

but jordan would never have taken that dumb *** 20 footer that is just as difficult as shooting a 3 (which is something jordan wasnt a fan of shooting) yet only worth 2 points....in other words...that shot is THE MOST INEFFICIENT SHOT IN THE NBA, and Michael Jordan, the most efficient perimeter player ever, would never allow himself to take that shot.

No it's not processing power, and it's not the consoles being 6 or 7 years old idk the number, it's just fixing the cyberfaces, fixing the texture, fixing simple things like color, the game is not ugly, it's just not accurate. Looking at the gamespot screenshots, and I'm really confused because I can't tell if that's 2k13 or 2k12. Every 2k has upgraded their graphics from year to year. I remember when that E3 footage was shown and how the game still looked like 2k12. Now near October and we are still saying the same thing smdh.

The Thunder blue was actually purple. Live looks like a bootleg Wii game, and it's sad that people still defend that atrocity.

I didn't really mean ALL of the graphics, just a few little things here and there. I am by no means defending the Live series or EA, because honestly, I can't stand EA...

Wait, you say this as if that's the CPU choosing that shot. What if it's a user? I've seen users take 3s with Andrew Bynum (and make them, of all things) in 2Ks past.

Yeah, I expected Jordan to shake Kobe like Brian Russel, shoot his classic turnaround, or one of his game winning momentum shots. Jordan doesn't milk the shot clock to take a jumper with a hand in his face. He finds a better one.

He's just saying it is a shot MJ would never ever take with that much time and so many options. Who looks up at the clock and then just dribbles NOWHERE for 5 seconds and then shoots a fade from 20 with the defense STILL THERE because nothing was done to make Kobe move from still being in front of MJ? Jordan would at lease try to Bryon Russell his a** but never would he be this stupid to choose this shot.

Or he would do anything to draw opponents' attention and pass the ball to an open teammate in or outside the paint and eventually win the game. These high IQ plays seperate him from the players whom fans tend to compare him to.

You know how i know 2k12 sucked? Cause when 2k12 was being advertised like this I was still playing 2k11 everyday and before I knew it 2k12 was out. I don't usually find myself waiting in anticipation for so long (>_<)

I would have loved to see him push Kobe first to get open.

Word... right now he looks like he's still at Indiana playing in college

SMH.

I will never understand why 2K insists on having Mike wearing FAKE colorways of his shoes.

The generics? Fine, those player's shoes aren't in the game. But come on man, the VII are (obviously) IN THE GAME. Why are the colors wrong? 2K spent who knows how much money to get MJ and his kicks in the game, only to completely botch the colorways for 2 (looking like 3 now) years in a row.

Looks like the community (PC anyway) has to ONCE AGAIN rely on modders to do the job the art department should be doing.

Or use the 2K Shoe Creator and post Olympic Jordan's on 2K Share. It's hard to make customization for consoles to have multiple colors, like You can't replicate Hare Jordan's due to the many Colors.
