Wait...Davkos isn't real? I thought he was one the Euro league players...

Dude's name is Drakos, closest guy to him is Dimitrios Drakos from some EuroBasket league, but hasn't played in the EuroBasket league since 09-10. Who know? It looks like a CF, but I searched "Drakos" and there's nothing.

EDIT: 10:50, Dimitris Drakos.

AND the picture matches (i Think): http://basketball.eurobasket.com/pla...orfyras/130543

Weird thing that profile labels him as a 6'3" PG, and this is obviously a SF who is close to LeBron's height.

You can pause at about the 10:50 mark Marvin and they show him at the starting lineup screen in the middle.

My apologies if I got people's hopes up about an improved CAP mode. I never heard of the guy so I thought he was a created player which surprised me how well his face was done thinking it was a cap. Oh well......

Yeah, the edit shows who he is and where he's from. (Euroleague!)

Drako's storyline could be former Euroleague star turned in to Global icon, just like how AI has a "comeback" storyline. But who knows?

at the 12:50 mark when monta "swims" off the defender instead of getting stuck like what normally happens in 2K13. . .the plays ran through perfectly. . .less easy buckets in the paint. . .better pick & roll D

FANTASTIC!!!!

When it's been four to five years since any real changes, YES that is what most people have come to expect, that nothing has really been fixed again.

I know you're a big fan of Online Association Mode and i do hope that you know things that you can't reveal atm. right J !?

As an OA player i'm expecting good things hopefully.

The gameplay looks really solid btw, stop whining folks.

It's not the same person obviously. Similar names but completely different in appearance and height.

This is what really struck me too, they have actual off ball movement animations! I also saw the guy using LeBron and bodying the Drakos character when he was trying to run a route.

The animation looks much improved, that DWill layup at 13:25 might be the most realistic one I've seen in a game. The driving layup animations have always been a little off, that was really fluid.

# 70 bls @ 09/14/13 05:21 PM

12:45 mark in the video watch Monta Ellis as the Mavericks have the ball. Running around and fight off the defense as you go around screens is much better I see.

2k13 looked extremely artificial and stiff. I like what I saw in that play.

# 71 thedream2k13 @ 09/14/13 05:36 PM

I must say that gameplay is almost perfect. Its what 2k13 should have been

This. I've had this exact thought before... 14 is what 13 shoulda been.

It's up to you i think, depending on the story line at the time.

I kinda look forward to this mode. Gonna be a nice thing to play when you get a bit tired if association and my player.

So many people have been hating on this game mode, but to be honest I think it looks awesome.

# 75 starks1903 @ 09/15/13 09:38 AM

DERON WİLLİAMS SİGNATURE SHOT SUCKS!!!

# 76 danzy678 @ 09/15/13 04:39 PM

Yeah I'm looking forward to this mode it should be fun. I think everybody set there expectations way too high for this mode!

If 2k doesn't fix their mode I won't buy it just like I didn't with Madden. It's underwhelming to a lot of people's expectations not just mine. No relocation, limited use as a GM, mediocre trade logic, predictable & crazy player growth, out of date interaction, not enough stats, not enough depth, boring FA's. And why do people have to say no-one is forcing me to buy it? I'm not buying it but I want them to fix their product, they need to hear criticism, tough love. Not hold their hands and pat them on the head. If I think the association mode & MyPlayer mode sucks, I go into detail why they suck and how they should fix it, a response shouldn't be well you're not forced to buy it. Also CCM with it's flaws>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Association Mode in 2k. And yes they do need a new car, Association Mode has been the same for 4-5 years with minimal improvements each year. That's like have a car with 200,000 miles but still driving it around. I'll see what they have to say for next-gen regarding Assoc. Mode, if it's still the same I'll just wait for NBA 2k16.

this

too many yes men around these parts

I want to know this too.....

Did you try this Jwill ?

Its the same as previous... its just a smoother transition now. Touched upon this in the new gameplay vid where everyone is saying jumpshots are too fast now.

Its not that they are 'faster' but that the transition from catch/dribble to shot is smoother, I guess one could say the resulting effect would be a overall faster shot.

During gameplay, I had no problems pulling up, shooting off the dribble, stepbacks, etc... my biggest problem was pressing LT. Other than that it was just smoother, hard to describe with words, less time 'fighting' the game so to speak to get what you want (to shoot).

Ok cool sounds real good.

I'm assuming you can basically create your own space creating shots instead of just double flicking the right stick or double tapping B for those who used the buttons, am I right ?
