NBA 2K13 |OT| Because Live is Dead

Matrix

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
So I'm playing Rockets/Knicks 94 against the cpu and it's a tie game under 1 min in the 4th and I miss a shot with Dream and I casually say "Shit" out loud and my Kinect picked it up and I was called for a tech for verbal abuse (I honestly didn't even know that was in the game) ....


lol :(

Also there is a scoreboard glitch in online games.... 2k fix this shit

So far I love this game, the gameplay is easy to get, the dream teams and celeb teams are a great addition, but the only problem is every time I play online I just get drived on, and its almost impossible to stop them every single time

Yea totally serious... I was like wtf and I actually did get pissed lol my comment was more at myself for missing a wide open lay up and of course the Kinect cant know that. Damn vocal icon showed up in the upper left corner of the screen right after I said "shit" and the ref yelled out tech for verbal abuse and they got a ft and I went on to lose by a few lol

I mean it's awesome, but damn it was random as hell. I mean I wonder how it just decides to do it at that moment. I mean if I sat there and said shit over and over I doubt I would be t'd up every time.

Team up online can be amazing when you play with people who like to have fun. When you get the PG who wants to break the scoring record it's a fucking misery.
 
Has anybody ran into the dumbass bug where the scoreboard disappears? I played half a game online like this and even timeouts wouldn't bring it back.

Shit was retarded.

Yeah I've had the scoreboard disappearing glitch. It's the most annoying shit. It was a 1 to 3 point game all the way through so we had to constantly pause to check. Broken as fuck.

I like the new my player signature abilities. Gives it an RPG feel. I don't like the presentation of it and that the sliders are gone, shit is just so much more disorganized.


I gotta admit I do think they nailed the twitter thing, those fake people are assholes. I'm a rookie and play 3 minutes a game what do u want me to do about the loss lol.
 
YOLO, anyone have the PC version yet?

Just played the PS3 demo but the PC will piss on it from a great height.
I hope

Yea I posted about it yesterday, in my two online games so far one happened at the start of the 2nd half and I just played one where it was fine till the last 3 mins of the 4th >_< It's annoying as hell and better be fixed.

Also I posted a youtube vid above that someone uploaded showing it. You're not alone with this bs.

I played a total 10 games online yesterday. 5 quick matches and the rest were custom invite games. So far I haven't run into the scoreboard glitch. I am getting used to using the shot stick now and am shooting much better.

I will say the Knicks are crazy online. With a lineup of Shump, Smith, Melo, Amare, Chandler you have defense and offense covered. Shump can guard any PG in the game and with the new manual defense controls he is a beast. Melo is pretty much unstoppable. I dunno if the quick match settings are on Pro or what but he is pretty much unguardable.

play against current Lakers and understand pain

They are probably better than the Dream Team as far as 2k goes.


YOLO

I just had my first victory over a Laker user. He ran a 1-3-1 too with Howard just sitting in the back. So I choose the Heat and won by 10. Tearful XBL messages followed.

Did that and won. This guy I played was 9-0 until I had to shut him down and bring him back to earth. Lebron is literally unstoppable and even Howard guarding the rim does nothing to stop that. To combat his 1-3-1 my lineup of Wade, Ray Ray, Battier, Bron, and Bosh took care of him. Wade posting up Nash with the option to just shoot over him or facilitate from that position broke him pretty quickly. Bosh's ability to knock down jump shots pulled Howard away. That opens up Bron to just HGH his way to the basket everytime.

Heat are still the globetrotters...even more so with Ray and Lewis on the squad now.

Most people don't even know how to use the post game so the fact that Howard is on the squad doesn't do a whole lot.

Someone talk me out of buying this

Come on where are the usual 2K glitches at

Well there is a scoreboard issue that some people have experienced in the online games. I haven't. Then there's the Association save glitch that I also haven't experienced because I don't play SP modes.

For me personally I played like 40-50 quarters of the 2k13 demo, and then 10 games online yesterday and not once was I disconnected. This is far bigger progress than it seems!

I'm going to go back through the thread and make a note of who said they were interested in a league. I kind of want to do a small league with a few people first for testing purposes to see if anything is broken. That way I can catch anything before jumping in a regular GAF Online Association.

You also need to get off that PS3 for 2k13!

Had an interesting time playing my career

First, I interviewed with the bucks and told them I did not want to play for them...get drafted by the Bucks.

Second, I'm a shooting guard so I barely play and monta and jennings take all the shots

Third, I made my guy born in 1984 by accident lol, so he's 28 in his second season.

Is it just me or the drills kinda boring and repetitive?

Also got a weird bug where the screen went blurry, almost like it was trying to do 3D or something, was super weird.

I hate that these types of questions are asked, and it feels like your answer isn't taken into consideration for that team's draft. In 2K12, I was asked if I was willing to play SG instead of SF, because of Durant, and I refused. Saying no, or something to the effect of "I think it'd be best to play for a team who needs me." And then I get drafted by OKC(Also, I live in Seattle and am a Sonics fan smh) and they proceed to play me at 4. I'm incredibly undersized because I basically am built like Durant, only shorter. It was a mess. Those questions need to mean more, and so do the answers.

I don't disagree with you, and the fact is that 2K probably doesn't take the questions into account, but this does happen in real life frequently as well. Steve Francis told Vancouver he would never play for them - drafted by Vancouver. Atlanta was drafting a 3 forward every year in the early 00's, in spite of desperately needing other positions filled, even passing on Chris Paul.

NBA teams tend to chase talent over need 95% of the time. Like I said, the fact is that 2k probably isn't accounting for player answers, but it could be that the teams are just taking talent over need as often happens in real life.

I tried the demo for this last night. I was terrible at it.

On the other hand, I haven't played a basketball game in years, and the controls and presentation both felt pretty tight. I suppose that's just a practice thing, though; I was awful at Madden at first, too. Told myself that I would wait for Black Friday deals, but I think I see a trip to GS in the near future. The My Player mode has me intrigued; I probably wouldn't touch online.

I am sure this is a true story. (Laker Hater)

If you're playing only offline, some myplayer/mycareer things are missing. Sucks because i like having all my content available. And now we can buy skill points with real cash. Im not sure this is good.

Im getting use to the controls...i think i will like them soon. Im getting the hang of it. They're in depth. The presentation is still bugging me. I wish during the gameplay i could keep the tribal art away. It doesn't look me like a game i would see on t.v..
 
UGH this fucking scoreboard glitch has got me again. This time it didn't show up till the 4th of a one possession game.Fix this shit 2k.

Sounds like 2k is on the right track. Have to fix my DVD drive because people are making this sound good.
 
Finally able to play the game on PC (don't ask how, as I'm pissed about it to be honest) and it's quite good. Controls are a bit weird still, but I can see really enjoying this once I get going. I beat the Lakers as the Hornets in a quick play which I assume is on baby difficulty.

Needless to say I'll be buying when it hits Steam and looking forward to maybe playing online this year.
 
Got drafted by the mavs 6'4 point guard. Three point specialist.

Had some good and bad games but...

Just came off the bench and sunk 6 threes against the pacers including a game winner. I felt like that autistic kid that was on ESPN a couple years ago.

Haha about the kinect comment. I had to unplug mine because for whatever reason it would think I was calling a timeout when I wasn't even saying anything. I think it was picking up sound from the tv

Amazon sent me the PS3 code for the All Star Content when I preordered the Xbox 360 version, so if anyone needs/wants it PM me.

edit: Gone.

Huh, sounds bad. Does anyone use it with better results?
 
wow if true! Is it still 20$ on pc?

$29.99 but usually drops fairly quickly if you can wait.

Online may also be ok now because they've made it impossible to buy for PC unless you're willing to order physical copies from NewEgg. I'm just hoping enough people buy the game when it show up on Steam.

yeah that's the second worst. the worst is when everyone just quits out because they didn't get the player they wanted.

I've only been able to play 1 full game where everyone stayed, it was Clips vs Kings. it was mad fun, and I dropped like 20/15 with Robinson. dude is a beast for a rookie

I dunno if the quick match settings are on Pro or what but he is pretty much unguardable.

this is exactly why, and it's why I usually hate playing quick match.

I've only played on HoF since about 2k8. You usually have to be open, know the players release and everything. In this game knowing the hot spots comes into play as well. Luke Ridnour probably won't make a shot anywhere on HoF except for the left corner. On Pro, I was hitting 30 foot 3s from the top of the key like they were FTs

My offense has been struggling until I found the hop step button. It really gets you deep in the paint. Where as I couldn't really get that deep in the paint with ISO motion. Not saying ISO motion can't; I just suck.

EDIT: Anyone liking the Kinect functionality? How is it? Just Curious.
