The graphics are great, the controls are very good, but the game makers make it too much like a TV show. When you play in career mode, settings for replays that should disable them leave the sprite dunk meter. This is most irritating when playing point guard and trying to do full-court pressure while the screen is showing the replay. Another problem is when it shows the upcoming schedule while inbounding. I have been scored on before the screen came back to the game.
The thing that makes all these things such a problem is the fact that between these thing happening, this is an immersive and addictive game.

I'm not a sports game fan at all but NBA2K13 has won me over. The server has been shut down for this game so there is no longer online play, but the my career mode is still fun. The game is very demanding of your perfection and judges you harshly on the teammate ranking, and you will get frustrated by it.

NBA 2k13 is a great basketball game for the price. If you don't feel like spending $60 on a new game, you won't be depressed. The play is amazing as are the graphics and soundtrack by Jay-Z.

I love playing with the dream team from '92 against last year's Olympic team. The graphics are excellent. The gameplay is excellent. The sound is excellent. Overall it is a lot of fun to play! It's lots of fun to take an all-time great player and put them on a current roster.

No complaints, the new controls make the game so much smoother. I see why live keeps cancelling this is hard to compete with.
