I've always really enjoyed videos like this. Shows how fun it can be to make a video game.

Mike Wang for President!

How I wish I can work for VC as one of their hardcore programmers!

Problem is I do not reside in the US. But who knows, maybe I get lucky.

Anyway, this video is a great example on how complex the programming side of this game.

Stuff like this/coach and player feedback/slider manuals/tendency explination etc. is what should be in the Dynasty edition of the game. Oh well.

Good find.

i really like 2k13's soundtrack, but it would have been cool if they added "i believe i can fly" into the game. actually like half the space jam soundtrack would have been cool. when you hear any of those songs, itstant nostalgia ans pure basketball

nice video,
They should add mo caption to facial experessions, or can that even be done. would take some of the zombie like qualities out of the players

That's difficult, its the "Uncanny valley" that alot of computer programmers struggle with but new tech is coming and in a way is here that will make it life like.

Well, they do have facial animation tech in the game that looks pretty good. Cheeks puff out and all of that but it will definitely get stepped up next gen.
