lol they usually have the rosters 100% updated

 

[WhatAboutBigBob]

Are you surprised they don't have perfect updated rosters?

 

[Ghetto Anthony]

From what I've seen from watching streams and browsing OS:
- Way too much in-game advertisement and product placement
- Presentations seems to have gotten priority over gameplay
- Same issues as years past not getting fixed (points in paint totals, rebounding is BAD again)
- Terrible, terrible ratings.
- Frivolous game-modes that I don't give a shit about.
- MyPlayer still looks amateurish and lazily put together.
- Dated soundtrack filled with JayZ (I usually mute the menu music a week or two after anyway)
- No crew.

If crew was in I wouldn't give a shit about any of the other issues, but they left it out because they're lazy developers. EVEN JUST A PORT OF CREW FROM 2K11 WOULD HAVE SUFFICED. JUST PORT THE FUCKING CODE OVER. NO UPDATES EVEN NECESSARY.

I can wait a year. I skipped 2k10 as well. I'm not a diehard. I'm not a sheep. I buy good games.

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

And this isn't a good game? LOL

I dunno if it's just me, but it seems a lot harder to get a perfect release in this game.

 

[Ghetto Anthony]

I thought 2k11 was a good game.

I didn't think 2k12 was.

2k13...well considering I'm not buying it and will never play it...yeah.

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

I agree, 2K12 was mediocre. 2K13 feels very fresh though, unlike 2K12 which was virtually the same as 2K11.

 

[SAIYANS]

Rebounding is good. I could do without the constant jayz tracks and I like the guy. That said iOS motion, rebounding, and d when you actually learn the controls is very good, better than 12 and 11.

The lack of lag is also huge. I also love the end of quarter buzzer beater review and passing

They won't to training camp rosters are finalized. They never hid that.

barnes for instance is a Laker but he gets no playing time over Ebanks, so they have them on the roster but out the rotations

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

I've really come to love the new control scheme.

That makes sense I never got the game before the season started.

As for the soundtrack wish they would just let u use your own playlist of music.

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

The music doesn't even work for me when I'm in the menus, so IDRC. I do like the soundtrack, though. Overdose of Jay-Z, but they're good songs.

You getting the game, Mak?

 

[PHX]

I plan on getting it soon yeah. Was gonna pre order it but didn't have the money like I thought I would.

exactly how i feel. if online blacktop was ok i'd think about holding onto the game, but it's terrible. lol @ amare's defensive awareness being in the high 70's while jason collison is in the 40's. i also hate the new controls, right stick just doesn't work for me.

 

[Phenomenal1]

Got this game today and love it so far.

Already about to start a fantasy season in fact.

2nd Unit

5 - Andris Biedrins

11 and 12 are Jon Lucas III and Nick Collison

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

I'll probably do one of those over the weekend. Pretty caught up in MyTeam ATM, though. Goudelock is fucking MONEY.
