Apparently 2k is still putting out Developer Insights even though the game has been out for over a week.

You'd think they'd try to get all this info our prior to release date.

Here's the Audio Insight for 2k13:

NBA 2K13 Developer Insight - Audio

by NBA 2K on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 at 4:16pm ·

Hey everyone,

Joel Simmons, Audio Director for 2K Sports, here to talk about some of the new additions to Audio in NBA 2K13 .

NBA TODAY

The features and commentary for NBA Today received a major overhaul for NBA 2K13.  This year, one of the big additions is Player and Team-Specific Multi-Stat Rankings, including time-frame splits for This Season, Last Season, This Month, Last Month, Last 10 Games, and Since the All-Star Break.  Multi-Stat ranks are one of the coolest features you’ll see on a TV broadcast, where an individual player or team is broken down by their rank in various stat categories.  For example, you might hear an analysis segment detailing a player’s performance in December, where he ranked 3rd in rebounding, 7th in blocked shots, and 12th in assists.  You might also find out that the Boston Celtics have been surging since the All-Star Break, ranking top-3 in field-goal percentage, 4th in rebounding, and 6th in assists.  Having these additional levels of analysis about players and teams brings a new realism to the experience, all within the context of the season.

MyPLAYER ADDITIONS

In the same way that you’ll be hearing about stars like LeBron, Kobe, Dirk and CP3 in  Season, Franchise, or NBA Today modes, NBA 2K13 will have the same features showcasing your MyPLAYER.  One of the main focuses this year was featuring your MyPLAYER on the Leaderboards, showing the top shooters, rebounders, assisters, shot-blockers and more.  These leaderboards also cover timeframes such as Last 10 Games, Last Month, Since the All-Star Break or even looking back at the regular season once you reach the playoffs.  We took this opportunity to add entirely new types of Leaderboards too, using positional and rookie splits.  You’ll hear the commentators discussing top players at each position and their ranking within various time-frames.  You might find out that amongst all centers in the league, Kevin Love has the top 3-point percentage over the last month, or that Tiago Splitter is the worst Free-Throw shooting big-man since the All-Star Break.

The new Rookie-Specific leaderboards will show you how your MyPLAYER ranks amongst his fellow rookies.  Along with the positional splits, these new combinations of Leaderboards and Multi-Stat Rankings allow you to regularly hear about your MyPLAYER throughout his career. These segments dig deeper into the relevant splits data, highlighting players that may not normally show up in the regular leaderboards. Having your MyPLAYER featured on the new Leaderboards and Multi-Stat Rankings makes for a much broader backdrop to the experience.

MyPLAYER BOOTH RESPONSES

So many new areas of commentary and features went into MyPLAYER this year, giving us lots of opportunities to record new dialogue.  For the first time,, how you react in press conferences may become a topic you’ll hear during the next broadcasted game.  Steve Kerr, Kevin Harlan, and Clark Kellogg all weigh in on how you’re handling the media, and provide their own take on what effects your comments may have on your career.

If you achieve a new career milestone like being featured in your first signature shoe TV commercial, or host a players-only meeting or a youth basketball clinic, the broadcast booth recognizes your activities off the court and brings them into focus as part of your overall career trajectory.  Having the broadcast booth recognize your MyPLAYER’s activities off the court brings an added dimension to the broadcast.

 MyPLAYER PRE-GAME HYPE

Your MyPLAYER comes to life more than ever before in NBA 2K13, with major additions to Press Conferences, Pre-Draft Interviews, and the new GM Sit-Down feature.  This is the first year your MyPLAYER can speak on camera during a game via a new “mic’d up” segment during the huddle.  Whether you’re making your NBA debut, or revving up the team before a must-win game, you’ll get an cup-close and personal experience that sets the stage for the competition about to tip off. 

MyPLAYER LAST GAME

 In addition to the analysis of your MyPLAYER,, we wanted to make sure that your previous-game performance was brought into the conversation.  In NBA 2K13, Doris Burke and our three-man booth discuss exactly what happened.  Whether you had a break-out performance last night in a win against the Lakers or struggled in a loss to the Miami Heat, you’ll hear all about it.  Throughout the season, our commentary team makes note of what you are doing in each game, adding to the level of emersion in the presentation and relevance to your MyPLAYER’s season, night in and night out.   The best part is that your minutes on the floor are taken into consideration, so if you only played 7 minutes, but scored 8 points, it will be considered an excellent outing.  Your coach and the GM will hopefully think the same thing. 

NEW PLAY-BY-PLAY

 One of our primary goals each year is to improve and expand our play-by-play commentary.  This year, we added over 10,000 new files to cover more detailed ways of calling various situations such as turnovers, blocks, fast-breaks, made and missed shots, dunks, and statistics on individual and team shooting performances.  It makes for a more entertaining and smoother flow, and brings each unique play to life, with more personality and relevant detail.

DAVID STERN & ADAM SILVER

For MyPLAYER and Association Modes, the NBA Draft is an important part of each season.  We wanted to respond to the feedback from the community by enhancing the name database for NBA 2K13.   This is our second year with David Stern and Adam Silver in the Draft, and it was a great opportunity to increase the depth of not only new names, but capture fresh performances and expand coverage for all of their dialogue.  For NBA 2K13, we added over 800 new names in addition to the rookies coming into the league.  David Stern returns to the Championship Ceremony for 2K13 as well, and this year he will announce the Finals MVP Award.

ALL-STAR

One of the most exciting areas for dialogue this year is the new All-Star events for the Foot Locker Three-Point Contest and the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest.  We really wanted to achieve the true-to-life broadcast experience that Kevin Harlan always delivers during a broadcast.  With Steve Kerr and Clark Kellogg alongside Kevin Harlan, the key was having them record together and spend days capturing the natural reactions to all of the dunks and situational moments that make watching the events on TV so much fun.   All three broadcasters had a blast recording with real footage, and it brings the events to life with their full enthusiasm. 

You may have noticed last year that we made a big push toward improving arena atmosphere with tons of new arena-specific sound effects, chants and PA calls.   We know atmosphere and realism are some of the most important things to the community and in 2K13 we’ve gone even further, adding hundreds of new music clips and sound effects specific to individual arenas.   We’ve also worked hard to improve the sound on-the-court, implementing a whole new system of player grunts and exertion sounds to go along with contact, collisions, blocks, and falls.   This system is tied into the AI to help us determine the most appropriate sounds to use on a given play.  So if you’re driving to the basket and get roughed up hard going in for the dunk, you’ll hear a major exertion sound – whereas pulling down a rebound in traffic might be a step down from that.   These are things you hear constantly in an NBA broadcast and that level of detail is an important aspect to get right in our quest to bring you true broadcast realism.

We’re really excited about the new features and depth added at nearly every level of the sound and dialogue in NBA 2K13, and we can’t wait to keep adding more.  Thank you for the great feedback and suggestions we received for NBA 2K12, which have helped us take our audio to the next level.  Keep those comments coming as you play NBA 2K13!

is there any way to see players' highlights other than the player of the game?... like in 2k12?

go 2 box score, press x/square

 

[maliz]

Jelly at the jersey love the Heat get. Not only are their normal jersey nice but they get the Black Out jerseys, White Hot jerseys (wht/wht) and those X-mas jerseys.

Not to mention the Floridian joints which are

With all that said, you guys think it possible (if we create enough havoc) they will properly color block the 5s, 7s & 8s via a patch? I know is miniscule but nothing wrong with small details.

It's not working for me. Press both x/square button?

Got Steve Blake following me on twitter

Does anyone else has the disappearing social media problem ?

Did a VC exploit in myplayer and got my balance up to 23k VC in about 45 minutes. I was getting ~770 every 2 minutes. Details in spoiler.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

1. Go to myplayer and play next key game (beneficial since the VC is doubled)
2. go hard this game, try to get milestones, dynamic goals, A+ grade (all will increase your total VC earned for that game)
3. at around 10-15 seconds left in the game, SAVE AND QUIT
4. start up myplayer again and it will put you back in that game where you saved but this time finish the game
5. you'll see how much VC you earned and when you press quit as usual you will see "VC earnings are being saved"
6. the trick is to not answer the interview question and dashboard out of the game or PS3 home button out of the game
7. the game only saves your progress if you answer the interview question
8. you'll be able to go back to myplayer and start that game again and repeat steps 4-6 and keep getting that same VC

Any help with switching back to vc points instead of skill points

[noblekane]

They have a spanish broadcast team?
.

yea its on xbox live. i cant find any reviews online though. i dont know much spanish but anything better than klark kellog..

The most interesting of the bunch is a Spanish broadcast team featuring Antoni Daimiel and Sixto Miguel Serrano from Canal+ along with Jorge Quiroga of Marca. The Spanish broadcast package goes for $5

.

 

[iwhipmyheadovv]

i actually enjoy playing the MyTeam feature. better measure of player skill in my opnion. still need to be schooled on coach sliders man

 

[newera18]

Beating a team in MyTeam with Kobe Durant Blake and Larry Nance when you only have Austin Wesley Johnson Brandon Rush BJ Mullens Hakim Warrick and Korver is soo rewarding

 

[servechilled81]

anybody ever do myplayer as a Center, this is a hard position to play, these fools don't ever get me the ball

and how do I request a trade?

 

[bluedeniro]

^^ i just started a my player with a center. 7"2 270 pounds, tryna master my post game and come at those wilt/shaq records.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

DEFENSE STILL SUCKS.

What they improved with one-on-one defense, they ****** up with the help D. Rotations are god awful. Players are getting wide open looks left and right. Even when I see a pass coming from a mile away and MANUALLY go to rotate by switching to that defender, the game still has that stupid mechanic where the player is glued to the paint or walking in the other direction - he just DOESN'T run out.

My other complaint is that it seems sig skills have rendered good D useless in some cases anyway. You got players like Ray Allen and Kawhai Leonard even, draining 3's, even those few times the game does let me contest well.

Frustrating. Fix that stupid thing where the defender doesn't react quickly, and it will at least be on me for bad D.

I think you meet with the GM to request a trade

Meet with the GM.

Anyone else tried this yet? I'm at work, but if it does work for everybody I'm definitely usin this!

 

[finallyfamous]

I like the MP, but I roll with just playing online. the connection sometimes tho . Lost like 7 games due to my crummy connection apparently. FIFA never had a problem, 2k.. Not sure what the deal is.

Does anyone know when the top 100 will come out?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I pitched the idea to 2K years ago that if they allowed a player to meet with the GM, he should have to at least be one of the best 3 players on the team.

Anything under than that you should only be allowed to meet with the coach and/or assistants.
