Fucking "SWISH"....get rid of it 2K!

- "There are things I'm going to gloss over here a little, because these are things we've been doing right, such as accurate arena lighting," producer Rob Jones says in narrating a behind-closed-doors demonstration, still calling out a point of pride expressed by EA Sports in its presentation of NBA Live 13.
- Visual Concepts,...wants you to know they have worked on passing, too....—it was hands-off—two players from the studio ran a lot of half-court plays designed to showcase passing and player AI
- It didn't take long to see the kinds of things EA Sports is so proud of creating, and as I said on Saturday, I've seen them take place before in NBA 2K12.
- Good pass, good pass type, good decision by a bot player to get involved in the play. Look, we got this was the unspoken message.
- *talking about RS passing* "So, you're doing something with directional passing on lower difficulties?" I asked. At this point I have written in my notes: "knowing smile."
- 2K Sports shows little at E3 because the game arrives in October.
- "The point is, we have worked our butts off on passing,"
- Jones said he, Mike Wang and Zach Timmerman started working on NBA 2K13...the day after NBA 2K12 shipped.
- The timing of celebration animations. Ever notice how, after hitting a buzzer beater, there's a brief pause where players stand around like robots—and then they start celebrating? Jones wanted to swat that.
- And if you don't preorder the game, your play-now and career modes will still have an All-Star game, it'll just use the previous year's venue and uniforms (in this case, Orlando's) until the All-Star game is actually played and 2K gets permission to patch in the new skins.
- Still, I instantly resolved to play this with a Rock Band guitar when I get it. While some might find the implementation trivial, or a souped-up Quicktime event, bear in mind just how freaking hard the Blacktop Dunk Contest is with the analog stick. I can barely get the gather correct. People who get to All-Star Weekend in their careers or invite friends over to fool around with it aren't going to want to spend forever on tutorials. Some might feel it's a little simple, but I buy the logic behind the design choice. If you still want a hardcore dunking challenge, the Blacktop will always be there.
