When live stopped making NBA games, 2k fell off, 2k13 is trash

[BrothaZay]

Now dont get me wrong i was roccing with nba 2k before most of you nikkas. While you nikkas were playing live dunking from the 3 point line with steve nash, i was playing 2k getting my fundamentals up

2k11 was a good fun as game, 2k12 was a little bit slower and heavier but still good.

2k13 is just

We need competition to balance shyt out, even if live didnt sell, 2k would still have to step their game up each year.

 

[charmander]

2k13 is garbage compared to 2k11 and 2k12

when 2k12 first dropped i didnt like it at first, it took me about a month of playing it to really understand the improvements they made over 2k11

but 2k13 has been a broken, clunky, uneven cluster fukk since day 1...from the gimmicky power ups to the fundamentally broken rebounding to the fakkit ass reach in calls they call for every god damn thing you do...even down to the way they ruined the shot stick and took it back to that played out nba live dribble stick bullshyt

and i dont need god damn jay-z having anything to do with making an nba game, nothing

i still play it, hoping that i will finally start enjoying it

but nah, it's ass

 

[charmander]

as for the topic tho, i dont think it's necessarily because of Live going out of business...i think it had more to do with them trying to make the game more casual, and more like Live to appeal to all the old Live fans who were waiting for it to come back...the fact that half the 2k13 staff is old NBA Live staff members is proof enough of that

I find myself agreeing with every single word of this. fukk I wanna watch a music video before each game for? Who's idea was that shyt??!?! Oh, that's right... Jay Z.

Exactly breh, this is where they fucced up the most, like really tho.

2k used to be praised for how much more realistic it was and shyt. But now that live went out business and they the only dog in the NBA video game market right now they doing whatever they want. Really, power ups?


If you're gonna steal from corny ass live then atleast steal the good shyt, like the dunk conkest

yea i feel you

i was an early adopter of 2K too...i remember rockin 2k8 with CP3 on the cover when i first got my xbox 360, tryna convince my boys that this shyt was the future and that it was gonna kill Live

they all looked at me like

and proceeded to run down court and chuck up 3s and dunk everytime playing they wack ass, arcade ass Live 08

to me Live fell off after 05, but hood nikkas had such an attachment to it that it still survived up til 2011

i dont understand why 2K would want to go backwards and make their game more like Live, since the whole reason Live went out of business was because it was a corny casual arcade b-ball game and 2K was the real deal

hopefully they get they shyt together this year

 

[Numpsay]

Its bad in comparison to the previous years, but I still enjoy it. I only play myplayer mode though.

You an early adapter too, then you start talking about 2k8

Sega would send me copies for free months before they released
I said it before, I'll say it again. I am largely responsible for where basketball games are at today... Until now. I hated the demo.. Bought the game 2 months ago and I swear I haven't played it once. No desire to play.. Same with Blk ops 2
I think I've played that like 3x total

 

[RealestSinceKumbaya]

nikkas complain about any and everything.

Prove it because I dont believe you.

Prove what? #NatiboyB

I agree. I bet y'all first problem is playing ranked online matches. I'll preface this by saying that I haven't played one game online. Why would I wanna punish myself with a horrible experience? Everyone always says competition this, and competition that, but playing jerk offs that play the game like its NBA Jam, or an And 1 game is not my idea of competition.

2nd of all, if you're playing any sports game as is out of the box, you deserve what you get. Of course there are those people that will say that you shouldn't have to tinker with the game in order to get it to play right, and to them I say stop being naive. It's now 2013. These games are geared towards causual gamers. Thats the crowd they wanna sell to, as they expect the hardcore fans to buy regardless (though that approach cost EA a customer in me re: Madden for years, and this year NCAA). Download yourself a good set of rosters and sliders, and the game gets soooooooo much better.

Obviously the game isn't perfect, and has some issues and bugs, but I'm LOVING the game. To me, it plays a MUCH better game of basketball than Madden does football. I saw a complaint about the reach in calls. Unreal. STOP fukkING REACHING. There's a YouTube dude that ends his videos the same way every time, by saying "don't play games, play basketball". Take that advice. Know how often ppl reach in the NBA? Hardly ever. Know why? Cause they result in lots of fouls. You got ppl spamming the steal button the whole game online, making them think they're good. Now they cry cause their guys are fouling out. fukk outta here. Adjusting the reach in calls was one of the best things they did.

If you think 2K11 or 2K12 is better, we'll, here's an idea: GO PLAY THAT GAME. Noones holding a gun to your head forcing you to play 2K13. I liked 11, skipped 12, and to me 13 is just a better game than 11. If you're bytching about the game and play online ranked, I have no sympathy for you. If you refuse to make the game better by downloading rosters/inputting sliders, I have no sympathy for you. The tools are out there to make the game a very enjoyable experience. Ignore them at your own peril.

Gospel.
Some of these dudes take shyt like this way too serious.
It's just a video game. People like me (casual gamers) get high/drunk/just chill out and play this for fun. Sometimes for money when it gets competitive.

after the december update, the calls on the defensive end became unbearable and anyone who plays the game regularly will tell you the same...it isn't even about me reaching in, it's about them CALLING REACH IN FOULS CONSTANTLY...and even having my computer teammates REACH IN BY THEMSELVES JUST SO THEY CAN CALL IT

i respect your position, but it's a stilted one since you admitted you dont play online and dont play with the real settings/sliders...if i gotta go in there and fukk with sliders, or go online and download some janky ass bootleg sliders to make the game play how it should play normally, the game already failed

 

[Numpsay]

Reach ins normally result in fouls in real life. I don't get the bytching about reach ins honestly, NBA players rarely get ripped and 99% of the time a reach in results in a foul.
