NBA 2K13 Facebook, Mobile Companion App Preview

08:44 AM - September 22, 2012 by Steve_OS

ESPN has posted their preview of things to come, for those interested in the NBA 2K13 Facebook and mobile companion apps.

Quote:


	Gamers who play �NBA 2K13� on consoles will be most interested in the MyNBA2K app, however, thanks to the ability to improve your �My Career� player by competing in a series of mini-games through your mobile device. Gamers can swipe, touch, and drag their way through free-throw drills, dribbling courses, autograph signings (where you actually sign magazines via touchscreen) and even a Simon-esque playbook game where you need to remember the position assignments on court in order to advance to the next round. Pass a level, earn some virtual currency and upgrade bonuses that can then be assigned back to your player on the 360 and PS3, enabling you bump up key attribute points before a big game.

Dang, this will be worse than texting while driving.... Uh oh...

# 2 Gramps91 @ 09/22/12 09:22 AM

This sounds cool, but looks cheesy. Either way it's worth a try if you have a device like this. My cell phone is a dinosaur.

# 3 InRodWeTrust @ 09/22/12 09:46 AM

Ehhh its worth a try. Its free and will give me something to do if Im bored at work.

# 4 cavsfan2 @ 09/22/12 10:23 AM

Definetly will get the mobile app, but not the Facebook one since I almost never go to fb anymore

# 5 ForeverVersatile @ 09/22/12 10:37 AM

I'll pass.

# 6 Coach2K @ 09/22/12 11:14 AM

I would have preferred a solid PS Vita version.

# 7 Paul Pierce_OS @ 09/22/12 11:25 AM

Why would anyone buy this?

I really really hope the game was coded as well as it was showered with extras. Cool stuff though.

Because it's free? The Facebook version looks stupid, but if the app for smartphones and tablets is any good, it'd be a good way to kill time with minigames + get VC for your my team or my player.

# 10 sprayfan @ 09/22/12 11:35 AM

I could try this out as long as I get a good amount of VC for these minigames.

# 11 Choc1ateTHUND3R @ 09/22/12 11:41 AM

The cost of stuff must be worth alot if we can get VC this easy

# 12 DirtyJerz32 @ 09/22/12 11:42 AM

Hmmmm... No! Moving on...

# 13 KSOR24 @ 09/22/12 11:54 AM

It would be cool if on the app you could edit your my player kind of like how you can edit your custom classes on the Call of Duty Elite app.

Will this be available on launch day?

# 15 deetoman @ 09/22/12 12:30 PM

I can really see them doing a lot more with this once they find a way to get crew working right.....

# 16 yOuNgHoLLyWo0d @ 09/22/12 12:49 PM

Sounds cool...but i don't know of any companion app that release on launch day. So i wonder if and when this app will be release...

# 17 MarvinOida @ 09/22/12 12:52 PM

I'll try it, get some VC and Skill Points for MyTEAM and Blacktop.
