Synopsis

NBA 2K13 is a basketball video game developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K Sports. It was released on October 2, 2012 in North America for the Xbox 360, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3, Microsoft Windows, Wii U and Wii. Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers and Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls are the cover athletes. NBA 2K13 is the successor to NBA 2K12 in the NBA 2K series.

Graphics

I think the graphics have really improved from its predecessors, in 2K13 you can see the sweat come off the players as they play for long periods of time, With the vamped Slam Cam every dunk looks spectacular because there are flashing lights in every direction and the dunk looks like its real time, every crossover is stunning and the blocks just keep getting better and better each time


Controls

All dribble moves have been switched to the right thumb stick, same as shooting, passing, and post moves. If you played 2k11 or 2k12 you would notice this big change because it was so easy to do a cross over now it is more challenging. The shooting as change as well in a big way Shots are now created on the fly, with new collision physics created in real-time. Meaning when you shoot the ball you see the whole motion from the form, to the release.

Each player has unique abilities that can change the course of a game. Players have their own unique way, from Kobe Bryant being a 3 point specialist to Dwight Howard being a Defense player.The passing system as also been revamped, all new improved fast break passing gives users more control. You can now do direct bounce passes or throw the ball of the backboard while your player cuts and goes for the dunk

Multiplayer

Multiplayer game play has changed for the better with a couple new modes, Have you ever wanted to play as Pauly D from the Jersey Shore or Justin Beiber? Maybe even Bow Wow, Well now in 2K13 you can be the celebrity basketball team, where some of the people you watch everyday are on TV. The players go from Sean Kingston, Wale, Meek Mill, all the way to Justin Beiber and Mac Miller. You can also play as the 1992 Dream team Consisting of some of the best NBA players like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Scotty Pippen.

You are now also able to create your own designed Nike shoes, designing it anyway you want, even making it look like some of the sneakers we have today. Virtual Currency is now an added feature where no matter what game mode you play you still earn Currency and get to unlock stuff for your player created in the Game mode MY PLAYER. You can also use the VC to buy individual rituals and player skills. For example when Lebron James comes out and he grabs the chalk and claps it together the throws it straight up, if you have enough VC you can buy it and set your player to do those things.

You are now able to have your own endorsements and manage the way you dress for different events. If you want to play on the blacktop (Streets) you can wear cargo shorts, and a t-shirt, when you re playing on the court you wear the Jersey, but when you have a interview you can choose which suit you would like to wear

Rating

NBA series has really done well with this game, and Jay Z producing it, although the game was good they could of done better with adding some songs, maybe a little bit of different songs from each genre, all in all this is one of the best Basketball games out yet

Graphics 9.5/10
Multiplayer 10/10
Audio 7/10
Overall 10/10
Online 10/10

This game deserves maybe a 4 with the new patch update.

How is it possible that big baby can keep up with Rondo on a fast break or that Manu can miss 5 wide open threes in a row?

Once again another terrible 2k game

Yea there's some good things and bad things about the game, i can tell you right now Steve Nash is a point guard but in 2K13 he makes every 3 point he shoots, and Kobe barely misses a shot unless you keep him in the game all 4 quarters every game
