i think the presentation is kinda cool, i liked the gold. to me the big improvement is on ball defense, great job there. but the controls, oh my god the controls, awful. i don't wanna be doing moves with the right stick, no thanks. and wheres my l2 square euro? where's my l2 circle oop? what's going on in this world? change it back. no tap tap crap please. oh yea, what happened to the triple threat moves?

# 783 Biagas @ 09/26/12 01:14 AM

I miss 2k11's passing where it was so hard to pass lol. I know casuals complained but I loved it.

Is anyone else having this problem with the x/shooting button? Sometimes its non responsive my player wont shoot the ball sometimes.

Something very odd just happened. I got fouled by Perkins shooting a turnaround jumper with Bosh, and instead of me getting two free throws, Perkins got sent to the line. And got THREE free throw attempts.

Finally! They let play go on after a whistle.

Post Play Goaltending too? time will tell

# 791 Panicshade @ 09/26/12 01:53 AM

I am complete trash with this game right now...lol

I can't defend worth a damn and when I focus on just one defender and not switching every 2 seconds my teammates fall for every spin move, hesitation, etc. I can hardly get the CPU to fake out once because they seem like a brick wall that I can never get around.

Also I can never get a successful fast break because it seems like the CPU always has their entire team back for the perfect defense and my teammates do the exact opposite. The CPU can fast break me to death because my teammates seem to just gently stroll back on defense instead of hustling back and get caught leaving peole wide open every time.

I was finally able to at least get a couple of ties at 11-11 for both I believe. I have yet to win one game. I know most of this is just frustration and will pass once I learn the controls better.

For those who haven't played...picture the very best things about NBA Live 10, NBA 2K11, and NBA 2K12 all combined and you've got NBA 2K13. It's a blast. So excited.

i just had an odd call and-one call.

Westbrook(cpu) drives the lane then goes up for a two-handed jam. Battier(user) goes up right in front of the basket to contest the dunk. this results in Westbrook posterizing Battier right on the rim. however it looked like the ball bounced around the rim after the slam before it went through the net. (no replay, rats!)
Battier gets called for goaltending and Westbrook goes to the line for one. yikes!

i think the virtual ref thought Battier touched the ball as it was bouncing on the rim, explaining the goaltending call.
but at risk of sounding stupid, a big fear, why did Westbrook get the free throw? they called goaltending, not a shooting foul.
anyone have any ideas or thoughts?

# 796 sksmoove @ 09/26/12 02:23 AM

controls are a little NBA Live"ish", would we be able to switch to the previous year controls Tuesday?

It was a double call. A shooting foul can be combined with a goaltend.

Yeah it's NBA Live 2k. Which is good for me. It's like they finally figured it out. I've been talking about a dribble stick for a long time. It's too bad 2k can't just listen to me when I say things originally.

The only thing they need to do is make it so the dribble stick causes you to lose the ball when you try to do something that doesn't work so people can't just jerk the stick.

Control sticky thread helped me out a lot. Can't wait to use the absolute control option! Overall I like it and it is an improvement over 2k12

Anyone notice they pushed Lebron's headband down his forehead? Can that be changed?
