Says otherwise.

Looks like he got hit by an air or something.

Hope 2K fix this awkward animation.

What makes it worse is nothing Rondo does triggers such an exaggerated reaction. He's shook from the moment the animation begins.

But it's Curry so it's aight in that instance. He probably gets shook when the microwave pops when he puts in some Orville.

Yeah I hope they fix that.

To be honest, Rondo's eyes do look scary. I'd fall down too if I looked into his eyes.

I'm going to take LD2k responding with a gif rather than confirmation about sweat being back as a sign that there's no sweat this year. :T

I think they used manual flop to make Curry fall. I'm hoping.

That animation looks too overdone IMHO.

Fear not - I was actually the defender on that sequence.I fell because my momentum carried me to broken ankles. One of the Dev's had this to say:

Anklebreaker Sig Skill, defenders are not forced to just fall at random. Defender movement is a factor. It all plays in context to movement

Thats good to hear and also I'm not sure but wasn't Rondo already dribbling before you fell cause I think everyone is assuming Rondo did one dribble and you just fell

Weird way to ask but did you flick the stick in a the wrong direction really hard? I'm assuming how hard you move the LS will determine how bad your ankles will be crossed.

Unless I'm missing something, that doesn't make any sense. Neither Curry nor Rondo had enough momentum or speed to facilitate that type of reaction.

So..after seeing the animation, you were like "Oh that looks cool! That's what momentum is all about! That animation actually happens in real life basketball!" rather than saying "Hm...that looks awkward. It looks like some transparent object bashes the player. That type of animation doesn't occur in real life. I gotta tell the developers about it and make it look more natural."?

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

@LD2K Did CAPs get worked on at all? They've always had a distinct look that made them look fake and looking at Ronnie's created player it doesn't look like it was touched on at all.

BTW, can you guys fix the jersey fit (among other graphical things) in updates this year? Because we didn't get any art updates last year.
