What's up with guys quitting when they lose? It's only a demo. On another note, all I do is win!

Self alleyoops might be a cheese move now. Just played a guy who did three in one game all in traffic. I wasnt even playing bad defense either he went into the animation and i just couldnt defend it. I hope 2K makes it so it can only be done is a completely wide open court

IDK if this already been touched on but player faces and hairstyles are terrible...

Durant look like he just woke up or has been stung by a bee in the eyes... His hairline is FAWKED up and he has a dark haircut...

D. Wade has scruffy facial hair without it lined up... With a dark haircut as well...

Westbrook has this ridiculous mustache and whatever you call that haircut on his head it's BEYOND inappropiate... It's a dark haircut on top and a short ceasar on the sides...

Who is in charge of this stuff??? They should've just left it the way it was last year... No need to do a dramatic change if nothing was wrong or you didn't "improve" anything...

Gameplay and such is incredible... I feel they should have taken the shot stick out all together and let us use L2 has a jab step and work in the post... I vote 2k13 for game of the year... They need to get the graphics in order and little player detail for 2k14 and I think it would be a complete game...

Are they going to update player models like they said we would be having last year during the season?

# 968 NINJAK2 @ 09/26/12 03:47 PM

Does anyone know how old the demo build is guys

Curious if all of these faces are final.........

Yea you're right, doesn't matter if we're infront of them

I posted what I thought about 20 pages back but after playing a few more games today I can honestly say I absolutely love this game. Can't wait to get my hands on the full version.

# 973 RocketTMac1 @ 09/26/12 03:56 PM

Anyone who says this game is like an arcade game is just killing the dribble stick like it's their last day on earth. If you use it like you would actually dribble it is a dream.

Yes, along with turning off who to guard indicator.

The rebounding is and boxing out is a little strange to me

# 976 Agame @ 09/26/12 04:05 PM

Best demo out. Should be much better with real game. Defense control best yet on any Basketball game. Controls will take some practice , computer A.I.....Huge improvements in all aspects of gameplay . Hope that everyone who gets the game gives it at least 10 full games BEFORE they make slider adjustments

My money Sliders will be posted before I finish my first game. Have picked up Madden at midnight every year, THIS is Better and will pick it up at Midnight . Can't wait.....anyone want to buy Madden 2013 for a discount?

# 977 youvalss @ 09/26/12 04:07 PM

2K should have put a butter packshot on the cover. This game moves so smooth!

I still need to get used to the controls, but it's getting better. Feels really good. Pressing the modifier to shoot is kinda weird, though. I may switch to the alternate controls, unless I'll be to used to this layout until the game comes out.

For some reason I played much better with the Thunder. It felt really good.

# 978 JODYE @ 09/26/12 04:11 PM

Just got to finally sit down and play.

So far, I'm not impressed. Going to give a few more runs then write up my mini synopsis.

# 979 cranes74us @ 09/26/12 04:12 PM

They are way to many offensive rebounds.

# 980 Vni @ 09/26/12 04:12 PM

Has anyone flopped successfully yet?
