Some good looks at the collision system, which is nice, but it looks like there are air-force collisions, collisions that occur with the players not actually touching. It also seemed like a few times where a bigger guy was running full speed at a guard shooting, and the big guy kinda collided around the shooting animation, rather than flooring the shooter.
Still issues with blocking animations going the correct way towards the ball....that is really annoying in 2k12.....
also, I think the video ads get stuck just like in 2k12 again, see the Defense animation player during a Home 3pt replay, couldnt confirm that with the reflections due to white-balance issues, but the swish stuff really annoyed me this year
I hate the presentation elements, the gold with the swirls/curves.....I'll be changing that for sure....

the game does look very fluid though, not as impressive as the hype machine makes it, but good.

whoa thats really cool is it just me or does wade look like royce white here? I noticed one new collision animation at 0:08 very cool

It's actually Gamescom, not Gamescon.

In any case, good looking out. The pre-game introductions look pretty slick and polished to me, their continued work with former NBA on TNT producers is obviously paying off. There are some animations that look a bit off, some moments where the players look a bit heavier/clunkier in their movements than they should, but it might play better than it looks. A video obviously doesn't tell us much about responsiveness. That blown fast break with LeBron was kind of ugly, but could possibly be put down to user error.

Still not sure about the collisions, again there seems to be times where the ballhandler will run into a defender and nothing really happens as far as either of them reacting to it.

For me I think I saw 9 or 10 dornas including Facebook & Twitter dorna, BBVA one, GameTime one and Addidas one. I hope they added one for Conference Finals.

What piss me off is 2k still didn't make full slevees and didn't fix Heat's numbers

Not the greatest quality, but fuck, that Dunk Intensity meter.....I know that was a big thing in the Dunk Contest this year, but I really hope real NBA doesn't do that for every dunk, cause it was annoying in this video.

I'm hoping they take out the warm-ups when they're doing the pre-game ritual. D-Wade doesn't do his pull-ups with his warm-ups on
but grateful of the people who posted this videos

I hope so too.. And LeBron also did the chalk toss with his warm-ups on...

Yeah, idk why they didn't leave it the way it was the last few years

[Phraynk]

I wouldn't say that this is the finalized game from 2K, I'm sure they'll tweak and do more in the remaining 2 months before it's release.

[JaoSming]

according to the Team Up information, the game is 1 month away from "Gold" with just tweaks remaining

[hrbulls]

I notice the inbounding system still sucks as well--don't know why the inbounder has to stand so far back into the camera crew. And the simple fact that PGs and SGs won't inbound the ball still bites a bit, not to mention that both Guards are still present during the inbounds. 2K needs to watch more NBA games.

[Noodle Arm]

Regarding the presentation, I'm happy they have the live action overhead shot of the American Airlines Arena. I was surprised they didn't have it for 2k12. Like the warm-ups. Also, glad Dwyane Wade looks like himself and not like some deformed person as in 2k12 (which was weird since he had a good CF in 2k11, wtf happened?).

[JaoSming]

those videos suck for total conversion mods though

[The_Blueprint83]

I found a few and will add more as i find them.

link to skip to 3:00 mark^^^ couldn't embed it

[JaoSming]

Thanks for finding those.....that full demo video was very telling......

I realize its an early build, but that is most likely what we will be playing in late September....and yea, those layup/dunk/close to the rim collisions looked pretty bad. It looked like everytime the defender bounced off the offensive player...and I saw some bad clipping of the players again too, with some of the "unstoppable" animations involving a third player.
Also saw some ice-skate running where there should have been a collision, poor block directions, and some dribble quirks. Noticed the hidden animation transitions still in the game too, something they said they eliminated (but its still better than 2k12)....I think the worst ones are the bench ones during timeouts.
I really dislike the in-game presentation....music equalizers for scoring transitions in the scorebug? Random glitter/photo sparks? Just, ew, very Jay-Z. The pause menu is pretty slick though.

For something hyped so much, I think I have yet to see a collision in 2k13 that really "wow"ed me, even though Beluba bragged about it on twitter. The best one I've seen was the dribbling hand checking one from the first uploaded video from Gamescom.

[The_Blueprint83]

You cant over analyze just enjoy it for what it is, a demo. Hopefully when the game goes gold the minor issues will be worked out.

Wade travels before the dunk.. http://youtu.be/seyCFBLf6Ic?t=1m38s

[The_Blueprint83]

Found a video with very good quality..

Check the James Harden pass out on my last video posted at the 3:11 mark, wow now that's a pass.

[bowdown]

Game animations and some passes look very herky jerky right now. Reminds me of NBA Live gameplay. That full court pass at 3:02 was really bothersome.

Hopefully the final product wont look this cartoony.

[mikogoincyco93]

They released some more Gamescom gameplay.
