Seriously, who cares? Does anybody even like announcers? Its useless to make a big announcement about how they will announce games. Sure, just give it to us as a game detail. But I don't think its that big of a deal. I turn my announcers off in every single game, no matter if I like them or not.

My second guess would be a complete overhaul of how speed and agility is translated in the game. I am talking different acceleration and top end speed for the players so we don't see centers keeping up with fast guards. I know you can't read into too much this early but that is my guesses

They definitely need to improve the online part. But if they are making an announcement, its probably about an improvement in the game without talking about xbox live.

I'm at the point where I'm tired of gimmicks -- in all games. Where's the focus on good solid, immersive gameplay that doesn't get repetitive? Stop with the new game modes. Stop with the rehashing of old modes and calling them new. Focus on the fundamentals if you want to get me excited about what NBA 2K13 has in store. (Excuse the rant. I just had a disappointing first experience with Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. I'm sadden by how far the game has strayed from its roots. I was cool with the futuristic focus after balking at it initially, but that was with the thought that tactics and strategy would still be a primary part of the game -- it is not.)

I agree with that

Maybe they will ACTUALLY include those dynamic player art updates they promised in this year's game?
I can't believe a bunch of kids from the Phillipines with computers can update every player's appearance, while a well-paid art department of a major video game company cannot...

Maybe this announcement is to announce that they will be announcing new announcers?
