With baseball one of the last remaining sports that have competition - whether that continues to be the case in 2014 is up in the air at this point - the player face comparison between the two games has been one of the most popular features of the spring the last few years. The Show has won out in all three battles: 21-6 margin in 2012, 14-6 in 2011, and 11-8-1 in 2010. For 2013 the set of faces has been expanded to 40.

Deal on NBA 2K13 for PC
Even with a lack of post-release support it would be hard to beat $10 for a still relevant in-season sports title. That's what is now available with the PC download version (unlockable through Steam) of NBA 2K13 through Amazon.

There is easily $10 of value there for those who don't already have 2K13 especially with t...
