NBA 2K13 review

Thu, 04 Oct 2012 17:19:00 +1300

With the competition taking an extended time-out, Visual Concepts needn't perform a full-court press, and it's easy to imagine the team dropping the ball, but 2K13 is another slam dunk that has more features than this sentence has questionable basketball puns. Nothing but net.

When the competition decides to cancel its game year after year, that’s when a product is doing something right. The NBA 2K series has all but squashed its rivals and has become one of the best selling video games every year.

It can’t have been without some apprehension that perennial developer Visual Concepts chose to alter the series’ signature control system for its latest outing, NBA2K13. Previously, ball control and movement was managed through the use of the left stick, while the right stick controlled shooting. This system worked well enough, but Visual Concepts appears to have decided that well enough wasn’t good enough; they wanted to try something new, and it has paid off.

The left stick still works as before by enabling players to move around the court. However the right stick is now where players perform all ball dribbling moves. This new control layout allows players to move around the court more smoothly and with much more precision, while pulling off some crazy ball control feats. Fans of the original setup needn’t fear, the shot stick is still there, simply pulling down on the left trigger activates it, and this modifies the right stick’s funcitonality allowing players to shoot as they did previous years.
