[Sauru]

yep, I believe so (comparing console demo and PC retail)

[Stress Fracture]

Would we be able to use our 2k accounts from last year?

[JaoSming]

nope, in-game you sign up for a new one.

How to change age in My Career mode ?

[Sauru]

Also before the game launched I read an article about linking the game to facebook where they had some form of game there also. think it was called my life or something? Anyone know anything about that?

Is it possible to do alleyoop-to-self in training mode/freestyle? If yes, just another question: how to do it correctly (reading the manual). Pressing LS to the board from different distances, then press x + a and nothing, the player simply throws the ball?

[SinDS]

Any idea how to turn off auto-save?

No longer seems to be an option :/

Question: When i'm playing in Association Mode during the game the clock and score start out on the screen then at some point leave and never come back...Is there a reason for this, am I missing something or need to turn something on or off? Please help with this if you know its kind of hard playing the game not knowing if I'm up or down or how much time is left....thx in advance

Where are abilities in my career? How do I have to upgrade Pull-up jumpers, post fade's and so on?

[maraudershields]

Is there are any official roster update? Some players are missing, Shved for example. I'd start association with Wolves, but I need him too.

Hello Everyone - Hope its ok to write a longer msg than you guys are writing. This is my first time on this site. I am so glad I found it. I only have a PS Vita and an old PSP - and NBA games are all I play. I was so frustrated that NBA 2K13 did not come out on Vita since that is the main reason I bought the Vita - so I went to download the PSP version onto the Vita yesterday (Oct 2 was the release date in the USA) and the game isnt available for download. I even contacted Sony and 2K Sports because I was so frustrated - but couldnt get any answers.
I gave up and bought the Hard Copy PSP Version and popped it into my old PSP last night - And there are NO ROOKIES IN THE GAME!!!! What the heck?! Why not?! There ARE rookies on the PS3 and XBOX versions - I checked.
Last year for 2K12 I understood that there werent rookies because of the lockout and that was for all the systems - But why NO ROOKIES for NBA 2K13 PSP Version???!!!
I am so frustrated!
Is there anyone out there that can help? Last year I tried so hard to find somewhere I could download updated NBA 2K12 PSP Rosters so I could have rookies but it never happened --- Is there a way I can get updated rosters for 2K13 PSP Version? --- or even getting updated rosters including the rookies for this year on the 2K12 Version for PSP or the dowloadable PSP version for Vita would be better than what I have now!!
THANK YOU! I am so glad I found this site.

Bit of a pre-emptive question here, but looking for answers as soon as people know.

How is online for PC?
Is there much lag or none at all?
Is it easy to find someone to play against? Or do you just sit there and wait like in 2k12?

^ The more people that answer this the better.

Bump.

[JaoSming]

ah, I posted in the impressions thread.

Online is greatly improved, high graphics. Matchmaking is OK. First time it took a few minutes, second time was instant. some lag, but its not terrible like years before. I did have issues shooting (timing) but you can get used to it.

Quick question:

Can someone please explain to me the shot feedback icons? i don't know what the 2nd and 3rd mean.

Second one is an indication of how well a particular player can shoot from a specific area on the floor. I'd say some sort of range indicator

I am not entirely positive about the third feedback icon, but I think it shows how well your shot was contested by your opponent/defender.

Was wondering if anyone knows why my play clock and score leaves off the screen for the entire game and what I can do to get it back...

Leftos has been so kind to create a temporary workaround:

Hey guys how is the bumping animations in the game? In 2K12 it was annoying as fuck to play as a big man in the paint because you get stuck in stupid collision animations. What about this year?
