NBA 2K13 Thread

How is this guy not going to comment on the right stick dribbling? He's taking a moral stand against it? Damn it.

Other than that, sounds like I might really enjoy this game. Manual bounce passes

I like 90% of the tweaks they made to the game. Just the manual bounce passes add the wrinkles I need to the passing. Clearly the tweaks are for advanced players, no offense to the rookies.

NBA 2K13 Hands-On Preview From Gamescom - Xbox 360 - Operation Sports

wow that shyt sounds pretty weak. I think my biggest issue was the jump shots too; they added all that animation to different players that its hard to get a feel when to release the ball with some of these cats. Thats why i can ball with somebody like JR smith cuz he got a regular ass jump shot.
- i'm glad they fixed the defense in the game; not too sure about the right stick dribble (didnt they have something like that in 2k10?)
if im bored enough i might cop; but i'm def not paying full price for this shyt unless its classic status

For those unaware, like yaself

In 2k12 when you shoot a jumpshot, you see a white light/blur under the player at the peak of their jump. This is an indicator to release the stick/button for a perfect form/release. You don't need to worry about memorizing 1000 different jumpshot animations, just look at the light/blur and release the stick/button.

I did ok with jumpshots in 2K12, it was an adjustment but I did as good as I usually do. On a side note, the players faces look so much better.

I was wet with jumpers in 2k12, didnt even know there was an issue.

Will this have Crew Mode?

 

[dontreadthis]

lol at nikkas essentially complaining because they can't shoot, step ya game up.

 

[StatUS]

Am I the only 1 that turns that shot stick off and play on real shooting%?

Shot Stick timing still has some pull in Real FG%.

10 months in and you didn't notice

This is a potential deal breaker for me. Crew mode was the shyt

saw this posted on operation sports. Maybe it's what went on with the Pippen situation?

My brother has worked in the media licensing business for the last 11 years, and here's how he told me this stuff USUALLY goes down:

The Bulls and the Olympic team rights are separate since the Bulls are a part of the NBA and the Olympic team(s) are organized and ran by the United States Olympic committee. The players are from the NBA but outside of that it has nothing to do with the NBA and/or its player association rules and regulations therefore making it a separate entity and the deals for such a team would be a completely different negotiation since the team itself is not connected to the NBA.

Therefore Pippen could sign off on an agreement to be on the NBA related content such as the Bulls classic teams yet he also has the right to say no to any other uses of his likeness on any non NBA related content. It appears that it's possible all the other players signed off for a particular price which included both NBA and Olympic related content, while Scottie may have wanted a separate side deal for him to be included on the '92 Dream Team.

I don't know if this is exactly what happened, but I do know that my brother told me this is how this stuff works when trying to negotiate deals with clients for use of their work and likeness on the same project that includes more than one companies/organizations being represented on the same project. In the licensing world its called "double dipping".
