NBA 2K13 hits the hardwood with Kinect, PS Move rides the bench

Joystiq writes: During a demo of NBA 2K13 yesterday, 2K Sports representatives showed off a new feature exclusive to the Xbox 360 version of NBA 2K13: Kinect voice commands. These commands can be used for simple things like telling a player to move to the post, as well as more advanced commands like calling isolation plays for specific ballers. Cursing at Kinect is a feature, but it'll net you a foul in-game.

The move in 12 just wasn't good. They would have been better off just having a mini-game, shoot only type of use.

I agree, if they had a Arcade / Free throw shoot-around mini game for Move it wouldve been a much better use....because who really wants to play a team sports game with any type of motion controls?

i wouldnt use either one for this game.

I tried using the move. Sure it works but you can't really play the game well.

Voice commands are useless also. Saying post up to a player or pressing two buttons to get the player in the post require the same amount of effort

... so instead of getting better, it got worse?

No offense, but if the Move wasn't good enough, what made them think the less accurate Kinect would be better?

Why is it worse when nobody here has played it yet? Maybe if you actually read the article instead of always trying to promote Sony products above Microsoft's you'd realize the Kinect features are only voice commands. Which could actually improve things because you can control your teammates better. As for Move it is actually only beneficial for free throws, try playing an actual game with it.

So maybe you shoud be a little more optimistic about these things since you keep saying there should be less negativity towards Sony. Perhaps if you showed some positivity more towards other products outside of Sony people would take your opinion more seriously. I have a feeling that's not likely to happen because you seem to get more enjoyment arguing with people and continuing these console wars.
