Re: NBA 2K13 Review (360/PS3)

lol @some people not wanting to give the game it's due. While I do think the review itself lacked the depth/detail I expected, the reason I expected more is because the game has a ridiculous amount of content. For everyone chiding the review and the game for the few things 2K may have gotten wrong, there's an overwhelming amount that 2K got right. But in typical OS fashion you have the vocal minority focusing more on the 5 questions missed on a test instead of the 95 you get right. People can fault the review for not touching on some of the game's flaws, but the review also didn't touch on or spent little time on some of it's major accomplishments (like Signature Skills).

I think people also need to realize in a genre where there's open competition, this game has done THE unthinkable and made it's competition tap out not once, not twice... three times by my count. It was unthinkable back when it happened with 2K11 - it's practically unfathomable two years later. If some of you want to continue hating, knock yourselves out. Won't change this is the greatest sports game release this generation (imo)

9.5 may be a tiny bit of a stretch, but the game is awesome and I really don't see how anyone can say it isn't by far the best NBA game ever, possibly best sports game ever. I haven't delved enough into all the modes and features to have personally witnessed some of the things people are complaining about, but when a game has this much content to offer, I think you can throw them a bone if every feature isn't 100% perfect. To me, the game on the court is heads and shoulders above its predecessors, and that's what is most important in my opinion. I don't see myself getting bored with this in 2 months like last year.

Yep....9.5 sounds about right...Have thoroughly enjoyed this years version..Online has been Good to go...offline Training Camps a blast//being about to skip around...The presentation is so immersive..

Greatist Basketball game ever made.. If 2k does not win the award for best sports game of the year...

heads are gonna roll (LOOL)

Re: NBA 2K13 Review (360/PS3)

2k really botched some things like these cartoony awful looking faces, autosave, overly fast paced games, and especially vc, but this still might be the best SPORTS game I've ever played, at least so far. Wàiting for the full roster update to really get into association.

Btw, how have 2ks baseball reviews gone here? Or are you talking about people praising three of the best sports games ever made in nfl 2k5, college hoops 2k8, and NBA 2k11. A classic every three years in a genre will earn praise from a website based on that type of game. Shocking, I know

I should of said nba 2k. I meant bias for nba 2k. I've been a 2k game for years, but people will often times just try to brush over any flaws or problems with the games on here because "it's NBA 2k guyz they're teh best EVAR". I actually like nba 2k13, but i don't like reviews that exaggerate it and make it sound like it's flawless. And while 2k11 was good, it was EXTREMELY overrated(this is what i'm talking about), it had a lot of problems. I honestly thought that for their time, 2k8 and 2k5 were better. I'm just noting that OS has been known to be bias for nba 2k. The review isn't thorough enough about everything in the game IMO.

.....And its posts like these that I take issue with

If OS isnt singing rain clouds and gum drops for EA and collecting checks, then its a 2k.com extension site

You guys kill me with this kind of nonsense. Its one writer who gave his opinion of what is considered by MOST if not ALL a very good basketball game, and probably the best in the series gameplay wise, flaws and all... and you label an entire site 2k people?

... you're quite the labeler

Wait what? Isn't labeling someone a labeler kind of, ironic?

Relax, i merely stated that their is some bias for nba 2k. How is that a big deal, or bad? And i never said anything about EA. I think you're overreacting. Seriously, it's not that big of a deal man.

There should be somewhat of a bias for 2k though right? 3 great games in a row while the competition can't even make something decent enough to put on the market. I used to love Live but I'd say at this point I'm biased towards 2k because they've earned it.

No its YOU coming here generalizing an entire site of people off of one person's review... that's what I just told you I have issue with.

Regardless, you calling them bias or any other name doesn't make them wrong. Regardless if people agree with the score or not, this game seems to find ways to not re-invent the wheel, but set standards in sports games in some fashion.

I didn't generalize an entire site, i just said that it's known for favoring nba 2k games. That doesn't mean that everyone just kisses 2ks butts. That's not generalization. I don't see what you have an issue with.

Calling someone bias isn't name calling, it's stating an opinion. Also you disagreeing with me or labeling me a labeler doesn't make me wrong either. It's just my opinion, based off what i've observed. And it's not necessarily a bad thing either. It's not even a matter of being right or wrong, it's a difference of opinions, that's it. I don't understand what you're getting so worked up about. Seriously. . .

If NBA 2K13 got a 9.5 review ... I can only assume NBA 2K11 got a 12.5?

**mj23lbj** · 10-10-2012, 05:57 PM

I think this game is an 8.5, its amazing and im addicted to it but some things hold it back. Some nice additions were the control stick feels really nice, the myplayer blacktop mode as flawed as it is, still a plus. The bad was that they ruined the fun of my player because you can buy your way to the top with a 20$ card. In my player blacktop, you cant challenge dunks, only one player is checked the ball, and theres only one court. Graphics are nice as always but the crowd still looks like ps1 characters, they ruined durants face and lebrons headband angle. Some team colours are off like the heat away the black is grey. Im always impressed by 2k but i dont think im going to be wowed until i see it on ps4 or xbox 720.

Re: NBA 2K13 Review (360/PS3)

The game is so good that it actually makes me want to go out and buy MLB 2k12.

I think a 9 is about right.

**sandman0823** · 10-10-2012, 07:45 PM

The best bball game ever created hands down. Not yet perfect but sure enough almost there.
