NBA 2K13 On Ipad & Android

NBA 2K13 is making a leap this year from game consoles to tablets. First time hearing this for me so I"m super excited to ball on the go.  So I did some digging to get the initial intel on the tablet version of NBA 2K13. No release yet, but coming this fall to the public. From the screen shots the graphics are really good, take a look at LeBorn.

""Players can control teams with a virtual D-pad and buttons. But 2K Sports is also introducing one-touch controls for the more casual fans. All gamers have to do is tap on an offensive player to steal. Swipe up to block and rebound. Tap on a player to pass. They never control actual player movements; instead, the team moves on its own, controlled by the AI, which is also improved. It’s a simplified control scheme that opens up the game to more people. One thing I especially liked is how you can call plays just by holding down on an icon in the bottom right corner. On offense, it brings up three options like a screen, iso or a drive to the basket. Pick one and the AI player with the ball executes the command. All gamers have to do is decide when to rise and fire. Aside from these gameplay improvements, 2K Sports and 2K China added synchronous multiplayer. Now fans can connect via Bluetooth locally or GameCenter to compete against others around the globe. The other upgrade is in the Association mode and the addition of NBA’s Greatest Moments Mode. First off, Association is improved, letting players make trades and continue playing through an indefinite number of seasons. Second, the Greatest Moments Mode lets gamers replay epic games like Kobe’s 81 point explosion against the Raptors. The game will have a set number of these moments available with additional packs selling for 99 cents later on. The mobile game will satisfy some fans when it comes out this fall for $7.99."

NBA 2k13 Dynasty Edition

Couple of days ago 2ksports announced that they are releasing a special edition of NBA 2k13 on their facebook page. The price tag on this Dynasty Edition is $99.99. Basically forty more bucks for four extra items. There were many mix reviews of their facebook page. Are we the fans getting a bang for our buck with this offer? Personally I think so, who doesn't need a new controller & headphones?

NBA 2K13 Release

Last year’s NBA 2k12 cover featured three of the greatest basketball players of all time; Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Michael Jordan.  Who should inherit the 2k cover after? With this year’s edition of 2k, it’s the fresh new talent in today’s NBA.  I call them the “Fresh Class”.  Blake Griffin, Derrick Rose, and Kevin Durant.  Each of these superstars has taken the NBA by storm. All three are past winners of the NBA Rookie of the Year award, together amassed eight All-Star appearances, three scoring titles, and one MVP award between them.

“There are many young superstars in today’s NBA, but we’ve selected three incredible athletes for the cover of NBA 2K13 that represent the NBA well,” concluded Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. “It’s clear to us that Blake, Derrick and Kevin are the most deserving guys to inherit the NBA 2K cover from Jordan, Magic and Bird.”

There are many young superstars in today’s NBA, and these three are the most deserving when it comes down to it
.
Sorry Bron Bron, maybe next year.

Sincerely, Tw33d988

NBA 2k13 Cover Leak

NBA 2k13 Cover Leak

This image I believe was release on 2ksports Facebook page today. Not sure if this is the finally cover, or just a teaser to throw fans off when the official 2k13 cover is release. It took me a minute to guess what the ice griffins represented. " duh Black Griffin." The way things are lining up from a fan's prospective for this cover is... Roses for Derrick Rose, Spider for Kevin Durant, and Griffins for Black Griffin. Not a bad line up. All of these guys deserve it because one way or another they was important if that the MVP of their own team. 

For more thoughts on the cover check out this video >>> http://youtu.be/VB7Npn2fshM
