NBA 2K13

The cover of NBA 2K13 featured Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose and Blake Griffin, and the producer was rapper Jay-Z: under his influence, the presentation, menu and musical design were redesigned, which is why the game began to look like a big television holiday. In addition to the usual presentation of matches, full-fledged All-Star Game events were added to the project, including dunk and three-point competitions, as well as games on street courts. A career allows you to take a created player from the draft to the status of a club legend, and the skill system opens up new opportunities as you progress. Between matches you have to train, monitor your reputation and build relationships with your partners. In the collection mode, they assemble a team from cards, and in the club modes, you can manage a franchise for years and lead it to titles. On the court, the game remains demanding: the accuracy of the shot depends on the timing, and under the hoop it is important to use the body correctly. The defense punishes thoughtless passes, but a competent combination with a screen and a discount gives an effect familiar to any fan. On the court, a lot is decided by the details: a timely screen, an accurate discount and an understanding of when to throw yourself and when to give it to your partner. Dribbling and deception were performed at a level that looked advanced for the year, and the work of the defenders requires patience. Online matches and two-player friendly matches allow you to test your skills against a live opponent. The controls and animations look very decent for its age, which is why the NBA 2K13 is still respected by fans of the series, who consider it one of the best parts of the era.
