	We never really do anything at E3 as you guys know but I am definitely going to try to give an insider look at the show, more than last yr Having said that, we're expecting to make a big #NBA2K13 announcement in the next coupla weeks that I am fairly confident will impress you Of course, it's my subjective opinion. What I think is cool may not be what you think is cool. But some exciting stuff is going down this yr What impresses people is different for everyone. But I think our most hardcore fans will like what we have in store. With that, I am out. See you tomorrow.

What do you think it will be?

Do you work in Scranton?

What would make me exceptionally happy is if they tweaked the ratings/tendencies/hot spots/hot zones/coaching profiles to make the players play realistically during gameplay and simulations out of the box. That would save me a lot of time.

Unless it's something related to realistic on-ball defense or intelligent computer A.I. that doesn't have to rely on scripts and gameplay manipulation to be a challenging game, then I doubt I'll be impressed with any announcement from 2K at this point.

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.)

the nba has requested that those r not included into the video games...so that is not gonna happen

the only technical foul i have seen in a video game was in KObe bryant nba courtside for hanging on the rim too long after a dunk

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.

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

# 50 Kentucky_Wildcat23 @ 05/25/12 02:01 PM

Shaq will be part of a new integration broadcast team and he'll suck like he does in real life.

Hahaha WORD

This is what I have been waiting for, I hope they can blow us away with this finally, they have had time to fix a lot of things that were wrong in last years installment...

# 55 chi_hawks @ 05/25/12 02:56 PM

It's the inclusion of the "misc rebounding tactics" rating for 2k13 - ability to grab and pull on another players nuts without getting a foul called.

Reggie Evans is expected to have a 99 or 100 rating here.

Like x 1000. D rose has 2 pairs of shoes in this game and yet he stays in those crazy lights. Smh

# 57 ehh @ 05/25/12 03:03 PM

They included a bounce-pass button?

# 58 videlsports @ 05/25/12 03:05 PM

Nba2k/college hoops... I hope... or the return of College football. (Pleeeease) LOL

# 59 omniged @ 05/25/12 03:15 PM

It will be about the return of All Pro Football (re-imagined) lol I wish but I know that wont happen... Sooooooooo

More or less a NEW College Hoops game or something to do with an NEW online feature for NBA 2k13

Guys its probably going to have nothing to do with gameplay. There announcing it at E3 so you have think it's going to be something about the cover, or like broadcast ream, if not something legends specific.

I mean think about "Ladies and gentleman we are proud to announce..that are A.I are super smart in this years iteration"... or "Ladies and gentleman we are proud to announce that we fixed are terrible rebounding and sliding".

That just doesn't make sense to be called big news. My guess is it has something to do with the legends and the cover of 2K
