NBA 2K13 review: Double dribble

For the last two years, the NBA 2K series has managed to wow me with its unending quest to improve and build upon its predecessors. The inclusion of Jordan and his unique-yet-punishing challenges in NBA 2K11 allowed me to relive his most memorable moments. In NBA 2K12, I was able to replay classic match-ups from yesteryear and experience the NBA’s lineage like never before.

Perhaps the bar was set too high, because NBA 2K13 has little sizzle to go along with its scrumptious steak. The core gameplay is bolstered by a simplified new scheme driven by the right analog stick, and customization options have been streamlined through an in-game currency system. While both give NBA 2K13 a real run at the championship, a lot of the other things surrounding these components show little improvement over previous offerings.Gallery: NBA 2K13 (Cover Players)Continue reading NBA 2K13 review: Double dribbleNBA 2K13 review: Double dribble originally appeared on Joystiq on Tue, 09 Oct 2012 16:30:00 EST.
