NBA 2k13 Released

10/10/2012

14 Comments

 
NBA 2k13 out now! I got the game pre-ordered because my mom and dad were nice enough to get it for me. Anyway, it is a pretty sick game. Let’s get to the changes. What I figured out first was that the left trigger on defense helps you play more intense defense on the player that you are guarding. There is a way to flop like LeBron too. You hold B, release B, and then press B quickly. One last thing that they made new is the shot stick is not for shots anymore it is simply for doing spin moves. Another great thing that 2k added is that the songs were chosen by Jay-Z and now I am more familiar with the songs that play while I’m checking things out. These are some new things that 2k added.

                Now I’ll talk about the teams and graphics of NBA 2k13. The graphics are phenomenal they have every single player exactly right. It is amazing! The Brooklyn Nets’ logo is really cool and the Bobcats changed their logo as well. I got to say, it is really cool. Then, they added some new legendary teams like the 2k13 Celebrity team with players such as Sean Kingston and Justin Bieber, they have the 1992 USA Olympic Dream Team with MJ, the 2012 Olympic squad with Kobe, LeBron, and Durant. They also have “The Answer”, AI, Allen Iverson in the 2001 squad when he took the Sixers to the finals. Also, they changed the My Player setup and skill points. They now have your My Player on the home screen and if you click on him it does not bring you to start your career. They now have a new section called My Career, it is the same thing as My Player from 2k12 but it is called a different name, My Career. Another thing with my player or my career is that instead of getting Skill Points you get Virtual Currency coins. You get a certain amount each game. They also have a mode called My Team where you will be given a certain amount of players at a rookie skill level and you can play online against people with your squad versus their squad. That is another really cool feature!

                Now I will talk about All-Star Weekend. You can only get all-star weekend if you pre-ordered the game. I was fortunate to get it pre-ordered because my parents got it for me by surprise. First, there is the All-Star game. It is the same as last year with the same all-stars just in the conference that they are supposed to be in like Dwight Howard is in the West All-Stars. Second, we have the Rising Stars Challenge. They have the sophomores and rookies go head-to-head in a fearsome battle. Third, we have the Slam Dunk contest. They allow you access to the legends like MJ, Dominique, Clyde, and even Spud Webb. They also allow you to put NBA players up against the legends like you can have LeBron, Blake Griffin, MJ, and Dominique go at it. Another thing about it is that your my player is able to be in the dunk contest as well with the NBA and legends. Even if your my player cannot dunk he is able to dunk in the contest. Anyway, back to the dunk contest, the way you activate a dunk takes some getting used to. What you have to do first is choose a section like through the legs or 360s or windmills. Then, once you choose a section you have to choose what kind of way you are going to do it like for the props section you can choose the dunk up and over where you jump over a car. You have 3 dunks per player and 4 players. The highest score you can get in the dunk contest is a 100. The last part of all-star weekend is the three point contest. Your my player will be featured in this as well. There are 6 players and 2 rounds which means that the top 3 scores go to the final round. If you have NBA 2k11 this is the same thing as the blacktop three point contest except it is in the Rockets stadium. You will have lots of fun with this feature if you pre-ordered it.
My only concerns are that LeBron James’ rating is 98 and I do not think that he is worth a 98 rating for this game. Another concern is that they do not have Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Julius Erving, or Chris Webber, but they still have the teams which are the 1971 Bucks without Kareem, the 1977 Sixers without Dr. J, the 1985 Sixers without Dr. J, the 1987 Lakers without Kareem, and the 2002 Kings without Chris Webber. I do not understand I was looking forward to how they would create those players. It still is a very fun game to play though even without those 3. It is a very fun game indeed. Go out and buy it! Please comment!

sounds like a great game!! great post by the way!! Next time I come over we most definitely doing a slam dunk contest!! I got Vince Carter!!
When reading your post I could not help but reminisce when NBA Live 95 came out for SEGA Genesis, I was so happy because that was the first time you can trade players to different teams. So I had Jordan wearing a Lakers Jersey of course!!! no comparison to the game you just got video games have evolved into reality TV. It sounds like a great game.

Still can't believe Dr. J, Kareem and Webber aren't in the game. They should make people aware of that...

You just make him. That's how we did. Make him a 70 rating. Make his dunk 85. His shot 65 midrange. Layup 93. Steals 55. Blocks 29. And that should be a rating between 70-75.
