So will there still be classic teams other than Dream Team?

 

[J-MIL]

Wats the word on bring back lobbies?

I get tired of gettin matched up wit scrubs online

 

[Killer Instinct]

Similarities to 2K12: 2K13 feels like 2K12 in a lot of ways. The movement is a bit smoother (especially on defense), the rim physics haven’t change a bit (which was a disappointment to me), passing wasn’t vastly different (to me..), jump shots (as mentioned), floor spacing, pre-game presentation and even the camera angle on tip-off. All areas looked like 2K12 to me.

Shocking. And when are these fakkits going to address their shytty servers?

confirmed signature abilities

Floor General - A player with this skill improves the teams offensive awareness and executes plays quicker
Brick Wall - A player with this skill lays the smack down during picks
Dead Eyes - A player with this skill isn't affected as much when shooting the J with a hand in his face
Lockdown Defender/Defensive Specialist - A player with this skill can get around "Brick Walls" with ease while also staying with their man off the dribble
Chase Down Block - A player with this skill is particularly skilled at catching up to block shots from behind
Corner Specialist - A player with this skill can down the corner three consistently
Alley Ooper - I saw this mentioned briefly in the Game Informer article. It didn't really elaborate on what it does exactly, but I'm assuming a player with this skill is a better finisher at receiving alley oops.
Spot Up Shooter - I'm assuming a player with this skill is can knock down spot up jumpers consistently. Unlike the Corner Specialist, this would affect shots from different areas on the court.
Ankle Breaker - I guess as the name implies, this skill gives players the ability to pull off ankle-breaking crossovers more effectively.
Pick Pocketer - This player is skilled at getting on-ball steals
Anchor (Defensive) - I haven't seen any clarification on what this skill does exactly, but as the name suggests, this player is the defensive anchor for his team. I read articles stating that one of the defensive skills helps influence the defensive play of teammates, and I'm wondering if this is that particular skill
Hustle - This player gives maximum effort when on the court whether it's diving for loose balls, getting back into transition, pushing the break, etc.
Clutch - This player's performance is at its peak during the closing moments and in crunch time when his team needs him most
Closer/Finisher - Similar to Clutch, this player is the go-to guy when a team needs to close out games such as scoring buckets to gain or secure the lead.
Streaky Shooter - This player can score quickly in spurts by getting in the zone a la Reggie Miller
Sharp Shooter - This player is deadly accurate from anywhere on the court
Strength - This player has superior strength making it more difficult to back him down in the post or keep him from making another player down in the post

so did you just choose to ignore all the new gamplay mechanics posted in here?...it seems theyve put alot of focus on that area...give me super refined gameplay over gimmicks any day of the week.

nikkas say that shyt everyyear, they could refine the gameplay with a $20 dollar patch bro

if I'm gonna pay $65 dollars for the same game I want some damn gimmicks and alot of bells and whistles to go along with that shyt

Speed is fixed, forgot to mention it. Westbrook zips by everyone and thank god Perkins cant run with him.
Olympics in MyPlayer: I believe I stated in the video but the hints that there will be Olympics in MyPlayer.
Rebounding: Rebounding is much better in the game. No morphing.
Celebrities in Stands: I remembered this when i was driving this morning. I asked if Jay-Z will be Courtside at Nets Games. He said with a smile, "Thats a good question I wonder why I've been namedropping and hinting celebs for a while with 2K13." Celebs courtside. Would be cool to see it.
Olympics Mode: He kinda spilled some beans about Olympics teams. I expect Olympics Mode & a lot of Olympics teams.
Dead ball interactions: More talking and taunting with players on dead ball.
They were bragging hard about the full current build but wouldn't let us see it. Are they trying to prevent it from leaks or are they holding back cause there not as confident in the game?
Fatigue: We saw sweat and players hunch over and put their hands on their knees

 

[Romey Rome]

saw it on operation sports

u laid up, u gotta play, u aint shyt else to do. when u get done w/rehab, u gonna be addicted, and i bet this game will piss you off still...

 

[Bows Jones]

We need to get an online franchise goin on 360 when this shyt comes out

 

[SwagKingKong]

Looks like the speed issue is fixed. Passing has been worked on (not totally fixed yet but moving towards it) and blocking has also been fixed.

Add the sig skills, possible olympics in my player, players showing fatigue signs like sweating, celebrities sitting courtside..

LOOKING GOOD! All I want to hear now is that they've worked on the association, my player and online mode and I'm satisfied.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

I think this will be the best 2k ever. The way mike wang left to do nba live. Probably stole the best of their ideas and came back. Plus the head guy from MLB the show, considered the best sports series of all time. I think they finally getting up off their asses and doing things right

I don't see how people are mad at shooting though. Shawn marion doesn't shoot like Kevin durant. And kd don't shoot like Dwight Howard. So "at the top of the jump" isn't even the real shot every player takes. So how the hell would u expect the game to make everyone shoot at the top of their shot. This way it makes u learn your team and players.

Playing on association, u do realize years and years of playing with the same people is an advantage. And when u trade or draft new people. U gotta relearn their styles and tendencies. Sounds real to me

 

[Ohene]

cant wait to cop. winter hibernation and Im finna be the best nikka on this shyt.

A shame that everyone will use LA online though...automatic exit game session. I dunno if I'll continue with OKC cause theyll probably be the 3rd favourite team online after Miami now . Didnt even play 2K12 so I aint sure how it was online.

I'm thinking I'll end up using the Sixers like i did at one point during my 2K11 days. Gonna miss dropping 40-50 ppg with Brandon Roy and the Blazers though . A new team I take on will be Pheonix i think

edit: Eric Gordon offer was matched after all fukk Pheonix then nevermind. I was looking forward to beasting with Marshall, Gordon and Beasley

 

[Gifted one]

So celebs like Spike Lee, Jay-Z, and Jack Nicholson will be courtside? I wonder if you can talk trash to them, would make some funny moments talking trash to Spike Lee while shytting on the Knicks

 

[MenacingMonk]

Yo, has 2k12 updated their rosters? I've been doing this shyt manually and accuracy is crucial to me.










I mean all I cared for was the Lake set, tho.
