NBA 2K13 Celebrity Team Includes Justin Bieber

It seems to be a trend in sports video games this year to try to incorporate celebrities and their twitter feeds into games. 2K Sports will take it one step further by including a celebrity team in NBA 2K13. Exact details still haven’t come out about how exactly this celebrity team will be incorporated into NBA 2K13.

The full lineup of players include Justin Bieber, JB Smoove, Wale, Bow Wow, Sean Kingston, Meek Mill, Vinny and Pauly D, Mac Miller, and Brian Baumgartner. Who do you think deserves the highest rating of these celebrities? Let us know in the comments section.

NBA 2K13 Demo Available Now on PS3 and XBOX 360

In one of the coolest sports video game demo features ever, 2K Sports has decided to release their NBA 2K13 demo with online head to head play. So you will be able to invite your friends, family, and co-workers to try out NBA 2K13 with you even if they live nowhere near you.

The demo will have a single 5 minute quarter of last year’s NBA Finals with the Miami Heat playing the Oklahoma City Thunder. To attempt to keep the download size relatively small, 2K Sports also decided to strip out commentary from the demo, so you will only be able to get a feel for the gameplay, but isn’t that all that matters anyway?

The download is available on both the XBOX 360 and the PlayStation 3. Let us know what your initial impressions of the demo are in the comments section below.

NBA 2K13 Official Cover Released

Last year’s NBA 2k12 cover featured three of the greatest basketball players of all time; Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Michael Jordan. Who should inherit the 2k cover after? With this year’s edition of 2k, it’s the fresh new talent in today’s NBA. I call them the “Fresh Class”. Blake Griffin, Derrick Rose, and Kevin Durant. Each of these superstars has taken the NBA by storm. All three are past winners of the NBA Rookie of the Year award, together amassed eight All-Star appearances, three scoring titles, and one MVP award between them.

“There are many young superstars in today’s NBA, but we’ve selected three incredible athletes for the cover of NBA 2K13 that represent the NBA well,” concluded Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. “It’s clear to us that Blake, Derrick and Kevin are the most deserving guys to inherit the NBA 2K cover from Jordan, Magic and Bird.”

There are many young superstars in today’s NBA, and these three are the most deserving when it comes down to it.

Sorry Bron Bron, maybe next year.

First Look At NBA 2K13 Gameplay

NBA 2K13 Coming to Nintendo Wii U

NBA 2K13 will be released on the Wii U. This is the first sports game that has been confirmed to be playable on Nintendo’s newest console. There is no word yet on the release date but most people expect it to be out in November just in time for the big holiday season rush.

This brings the console total that NBA 2K13 is playable on up to six: PlayStation 3, XBOX 360, PC, PSP, Wii, and Wii U. Right now we haven’t heard anything about a possible PS Vita release.

NBA 2K13 Will Feature All-Star Weekend

Big news came out of 2K Sports this morning with the announcement that the 2013 NBA All-Star game in Houston will be featured in NBA 2K13. This includes the 3 point shooting contest, slam dunk contest, rising stars challenge, and the all-star game. There is one big catch… You have to pre-order the game to get it. You can place your order today on the XBOX 360 or PlayStation 3 through Amazon.com.

The advantages of pre-ordering NBA 2K13 through Amazon is that most states you aren’t charged sales tax, you get guaranteed release date shipping for only 1 dollar, and now you also get the All-Star Weekend. It is really a no-brainer. However, this promotion will be coming to other retailers as well so if you prefer a different store, you can buy it their too. Just remember, in order to get the new game mode, you have to pre-order.
