He's highlight-reel material, but in no way do I think he has the level of skills of the other two.NBA 2K13 is a basketball video game developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K Sports. Rose, Durant and Griffin, I all respect, but I wouldn't mind not seeing Griffin in there. I don't like LBJ, but I respect his skills and the numbers he puts up, but the selection of players tells me that either this deal was closed early in the Playoffs or even earlier, or that LBJ got in EA's cover. Regarding the players, I don't care that much.
The artwork seemed much more refined last year. Tournaments with prizes, even a really popular song about it.Īnyway, back on-topic, I agree with the general consensus that I don't find the 2K13 cover as impressive as 2K12. PES however, is so effin' popular, that it got the Champions League sportscasting team last year, for PES 2012. While the nostalgia of having former NBA stars on the cover is nice, the games are not. PES, FIFA and Football Manager are really popular (along with the usual WoW, Dota, Lineage, etc), but then again the piracy levels are so high (or so the publishers claim) that we don't get many special things here gamewise.įIFA touted Greek commentary in FIFA 2000, 20, starring some of the most prominent sportscasters here, but then gave up on it. The NBA 2K13 cover, which features three current stars who are 23 years old, signals a change in philosophy. Similar feel to the 2K12 cover from the year before and three exciting young players all in the limelight. 2K13 (Griffin, Durant & Rose) The first time three athletes have featured on the front cover and it was a solid effort. Greece isn't really considered a big market for any kind of games besides soccer. An angry looking Paul George is always a good front cover image, however 2K fans were ready for a change. So in the extremely rare case that we get a game ad on TV, it's the generic one from the publisher. We have no dedicated gaming outlets, GameStop included.
