Since the Nba 2k series has been released before the pinnacle of the new millennium, it has change the way true basketball fans transform their fantasy into four quarters of virtual reality. Here are 7 things that Nba 2k13 will need to stay on top of the competition.

No, don't stop. We need competition beetween sports franchises in gaming. Push on and don't stop or the 'winner' will become lazy
EA and competition in sports games don't belong in the same sentence. They've had healthy competition in many different sports genres and the ones they could, they monopolised the licenses to effectively kill the competition. Poor Konami in PES were feeding off of scraps with their CL license.. EA went and bought that too. With them, there is no such thing as healthy competition.

I don't know about that, Nba live was the basketball game to get until Nba live 07 came out.
If you look at Metacritic NBA2K games have constantly outdone NBA Live. And a lot forget how much of a jump the original NBA2K was as it was only on the Sega Dreamcast which many gamers ignored due to pure ignorance and lack of knowledge on just how great that console was.
The last good ones were Live 04 n 05 for ps2 era n Live 06 last gen
Gameinformer:
"We broke down eight games that use licensed songs so well it’s hard to imagine them without."
The man who sold the world from MGS V? If any song is to be remembered from that game it's Here's to you by Joan Baez/Ennio Morricone. That scene gave me goosebumps.
Stupid article. Music in games should be recognized for their impact like the crossing into Mexico in RDR. Not just tunes on the disc
Basketball is a sport that any child in America has played at one point or another. It was one of the key sports in gym classes across the country, and only continues to grow because it’s accessibility.
All you need is a ball and a basket.
If you’re like me, however, you’ll soon realize that you aren’t that great at basketball.
Despite this, you try and emulate Michael Jordan with the tongue hanging out, or, for kids today, doing three goggles after hitting a bucket. Still, at the end of the day, we may not have a future in the NBA.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the game we love.
This list is a joke, right?
Here is a real list from memory:
Lakers vs Celtics
Bulls vs Lakers
NBA Jam On Fire Edition
NBA Live 1995 Super NES
Konami NBA on Dreamcast
NBA Live 1999
College Hoops 2K
College Hoops 2K7/2K8
NBA 2K13
NBA 2K16
I would add a couple personal favorites from LONG ago. NBA In The Zone...cuz you could play a MJ (though they changed his number and name...which you could change back...it was STILL MJ...and it was before NBA Live 2000). Double Dribble...cuz you could finally see dunks! NBA ShootOut...cuz they finally added a bit of skill to shooting. Oh...and Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird One On One...cuz it's the first one I ever played.
i dont see how nbalive or elite can ever compete with 2k
Just the way Dirk shoots and hits that 3 pointer in 2k12 outshines
1.Bring back My Player Pick up game, and the full Blacktop mode including 1 on 1, 2 on 2 3 on 3, 5 on 5, dunk/3 point contest. How dare they charge $9.99 for it in 2K12.
2. Improve passing
3. Improve physics/animation(maybe we have to wait to PS4/720)
4. Better create a player option
5. Improve online( was even worse than previous years
6. Improve loading- Is it me, or 2K12 took longer to load than previous 2Ks?
The game needs to do a better job with taking into account player defense vs CPU offense. There are so many times during the game when stellar defense can amount to nothing and that gets frustrating. Sometimes my controlled player's hands even go through the ball and the CPU's shot goes in swish. CPU percentages are through the roof.
Cosmetics
1.Real Sweat and Hair! - Dirk's hair is weak.
2.Better looking shoes. For a basketball game I thought that their shoes would look great. -_-
3.More on Court Chatter
4.Better Facial Expressions when slam dunking and getting physical in the paint
5.Did they get lazy with this additions Highlight reel? I would rather have the 2k11 highlight reel than this years. Like its choppy and sometimes you can't see what happens because of the "Camera Flashes"?
6.I loved this years Slam-Cam! with the better facial expressions and physics engine I would like the dunks more.
7.Like Madden had the "Ice the Kicker mode" Have a "Clutch Moment mode" at the free throw line.
Better in-paint Physic Engine. Like Backbreaker Natural Motions Euphoria Engine!
A better NBA Blacktop. 2k12 was lazy when it came with this. Made us buy a Legends...Forgot the name... But the game modes were fun EXCEPT HORSE. Should've had a Dunk Contest Horse!
Lets see.. This is just off the top of my head and I haven't played in a while so will add more improvements.
Look how physical the NBA is! And how physical NBA 2k12 is!
It just doesn't give me the illusion that I'm playing with the real players. I can warp through people, fouls are called before my hand goes out to try to steal the ball "probability to steal the ball like rolling the dice"
I hope everyone is watching the playoffs! Good Luck to your favorite teams!
