Description

The game-changing turnovers. The bitter rivalries. The sensational buzzer beaters. There are professional sports — and then there is professional hoops. Out on the hardwood, anything can happen with one second remaining on the shot clock. Here, underdogs triumph, dynasties fall and legends are born. You live for the thrill of game night, know the plays by heart and are loyal to your team to a fault. Now, it's time to get off the sidelines, lace up your shoes and step up for tip off as the grit and the glory of the NBA slam dunks into your world.This year, live the NBA action like never before, with more control, more realism and more ways to shape the history of pro basketball. After selling more than 5 million copies worldwide and winning more than 25 Sports Games of the Year awards, the industry-leading franchise that brought you NBA 2K12 further transcends the realm of sports video games, joining forces with Jay-Z as executive producer. NBA 2K13 propels the action into the next generation, colliding the newest kings of the court with legends of NBA history for epic matchups, including the one that's got everyone talking — Team USA of 2012 versus the Dream Team of '92. Create your own dream team by recruiting the league's top players and collecting your own uniforms, arenas and boosts in MyTEAM mode. Ensure you grab this season's freshest talent by tracking up-to-date performance stats in the talent marketplace. When your roster is ready to hit the court, take on worthy online competitors chosen by the new tiered matchmaking system. Launch your own NBA career in the enhanced MyPLAYER mode, and embark on new endorsement paths on your climb to the top. Whether you're playing as yourself or as pros like Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant, command the action with more precision than ever, thanks improved gameplay features, such as analog stick-controlled dribbling, dynamic shot generation, player-specific skills and revamped fast-break passing. Are you ready for tip off?

An extremely fun experience. With improvements on the animations, presentation, my career, and association modes, this series just keeps getting better. I am not a fan of the new online VC though. Skill points were a better system. Also all the celebrity stuff incorporated because of jay-z is useless and detracts from the quality of the game. I gave story a low rating because it doesn't have one. And it shouldn't. Its a sports game.

Love the game. It's amazing how many moves you can make. Either by post moves or either driving to the goal. Even the shooting stroke of a player is unbelievable

The game is great but it can be hard to upgrade your created player. Upgrading the player is good to me though. You can purchase VC and upgrade your player. Money is power. My player is a 76 overall right now and I think he is one of the best players in the NBA in career mode. I don't even play most of the other modes but the game have a lot to offer.

This is truly the best sports game on the market. The career mode is the best as I'm not much of an online player. I love that you start out with the rookie showcase game to show off your talents and from there you get drafted. You start off with low minutes as most rookies go but if you're good enough you'll earn more and more playing time until eventually you're a starter. Not only throughout your career you'll hit milestones but the game will throw a dynamic goal that needs to be reached, and if you do your victory points increase. With your victory points you can purchase player upgrades for skills or outfit your players avatar with designer clothing, tattoos, accessories, etc. The audio commentary is pretty much spot on and with Kevin Harlan calling the play-by-play it doesn't get better than that. Needless to say I can't put this game down.

Very nice game on xbox, kids love playing this game and it is very easy to pick up an play withour knowing all too much about how to play. Pick up and Play is so important when you don't have too much time to learn games.

If you like sports games in general and basketball at that then this is a must have for you or a gift for someone else. This franchise has yet to fail especially with the new Dream Team vs the current new USA Team! Bottom line, get it, you won't be disappointed.
