Nice. They added Curry's weak ankles into the game.

I like these insights but of course lament the lack of real gameplay footage.

There has been less official/semi-official gameplay footage from 2K themselves than from Live 13. Let that sink in a little. Lol.

Right David Lee definitely needs a new face! Curry has the same face as well although it's not too bad. Barnes looks good.

Looking at the Warriors away jerseys they look alittle more like the darker royal blue like real life, hard to tell. What do you think?

I can live with Curry's face since its a decent likeness and it improved from 2K11. Lee's face actually took a step back. I really don't know how they came up with that face if they were using texture maps and modeling from real photos.

I'm not sure if the blue looks darker because it's changed or because 2K puts a contrast filter for their promo video. Barnes does look good. They've been doing a great job on the rookies last few years.

2K, you guys are wrong for showing Curry getting did by Rondo like that...but it is realistic and true since Curry has been known to crack his glass slipper from time to time.

He gets the "Reverse-Ankle-Breaker" signature skill.

I find it funny that they got the guys who should be participating in the dunk contest every year to animate dunks for NBA players who have been pretty uncreative at dunking for years now.

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #3: Animations

Another nice insight, 2K. Liked hearing about adding more lay-up and dunk animations, while improving facial animations - no more goofy looking 2K11 smiles - and continuing to pusher for realism. Sounds like this game is going to be a winner.

Yea Lee really needs a new face. We can only hope they can fix that and they finally got the right jersey color for the Warriors away uni's. The last 2 games haven't had the right color at all and it sucks because they have the right color in the game with the Warriors throwback teams

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #3: Animations

Eh nothing too groundbreaking. It looks ok, the one thing that worries me is the ankle breakers. Yeah it'll be nice to have them, but 2k has a habit of over exaggerating things(just like posterized dunks happening all the time.) I hope these aren't overdone and happening all over the place.

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #3: Animations

I'm a fan of the written insights as oppose to the videos. The written insights just packed in so much more detail

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #3: Animations

Good to know TFB was doing the dunk animations, they are sick dunkers, just watch them on YouTube.

But on another note, I believe wholeheartedly that there will be an All Star Weekend DLC. They put too much work into the Dunk contest to just allow 10% of the players to actually have it. It'd be pretty stupid for it not to be DLC.

this is the dominant factor in sports no one can touch 2k basketball...........I got 2 word's for ya NBA LIVE 13........GAME OVER

[JerseySuave4]

We already know the gist of signature skills. What about tendencies, sliders? Association? Online (which was a train wreck last year compared to 2K7 and such)?

You want an insight on sliders? SMH

They'll do some on Association, patience. They don't NEED to give you anything in terms of insight content so stop acting like you're entitled to it. Take what they give you.

Sounds good. Funny touch with the hidden Insider's face.

He has a very dangerous job.
