The bounce pass really works on the fast break...
The bounce pass is awesome!!! Alley oops are fun. Animations looking and feeling better than 2k12
Players look more like themselves, less then the alien look from 2K12
When contested on a shot a player will get bumped and land awkward, like the real NBA
Better footing and planting, getting back on defense is much more realistic
On ball defense is BACK!!
This year the bump animations includes the defender falling as well and more foul calls
I can pass where I WANT to pass!
This game is fluid, and this game isn't done
More player interaction during dead balls looks good
And-1 are more common, contact is a big factor this year, it ain't sweet
This new control stick will be BEAST on the 2K camera view
The tip off is different, they jump after the balls starts to fall in their actually vertical limits
When you are coming downcourt as a PG you call out a play using hand signals
players have signature skills now designated with icons. Hints at clutchness, finisher, gets hot quick, sharpshooter
The stepbacks are killer, you can't sag off cuz the jumpshots will be CASH!!!
When a defender swats the alley oop, it goes out of bounds more often!!
New intros where starters are in warmups before the game
Seen a few things that needs tweaking. Saw bosh slide like 12 feet for a loose ball! And didn't even get it --
Saw sefalosha (spell check) catch a alley off the backboard in traffic! Prolly needs a tweak --
Lmao... You can manually flop!!
Flopping is awesome & funny just double tap B. funny seeing dudes drop all over the place. Can happen anywhere on court
Flopping was on 12 but ONLY in the post! Now it can be done ANY where on the court!
Players SWEAT this year
Uh oh.. Just saw a full court pass Trying to throw them a lot to see the success rate (Just saw 3 that didn't work so seems like its ok) --
There is a Sprite Intensity Meter on some crazy dunks is. On dunk replays it says the vert the player jumped on the dunk
Crowd much better in 2K13 they react to big dunks, ball going into stands, etc.
Double tapping B will literally make you guy flop & fall. Not as easy to sell as you think tho. Haven't seen a foul called on a flop yet!
Charging is MUCH BETTER
Avoiding charges look a lot better this year
One thing I didn't like: the passing seemed a bit slow. Need more Zip passes like LBJ & other point guards do. Passing mechanics are A+ tho --
Bullet passing and lob passing looks like it will be in the game... saw some fast passing
The developers know that CREW MODE is addicting and #BOSS in previous years (so not confirmed, but they know about it, w/e that is worth)
Just found out you can turn off the red indicator in replays!! HEY MONTAGE MAKERS!!! (one less thing to mod, a ok with me)

Good to hear. Also good to see a couple of them are refraining from their Twitter feud.

[JaoSming]

oh they aren't. Huge mess of Smoove bashing going on along with all of this

I added --'s for the few negatives they've tweeted thus far.

[Andrew]

Huh, you'd think they'd curb that, given the circumstances. Oh well.

Wow! These are great. I'm really excited to try the new dribbling mechanics but the video you posted on the other thread got me worried. It seems like superstars still doesn't act like superstars when controlled by the CPU.
