Initial Impressions of NBA 2K13 on Wii U
Of the three major sports titles to release alongside the Nintendo Wii U it's NBA 2K13 that delivers the product that most closely matches the 360/PS3 version in content. Yet while the tablet controller features are definitely useful they're also the least interactive. (more…)...

NBA 2K13 Week Three Upcoming Roster Update Discussion
There may not be much hope of 2K Sports producing a completely satisfactory roster update for NBA 2K13 but still the tracking of players outperforming or underperforming compared to their ratings should continue to be scrutinized. In the last update 6 players were added bringing the number of missing down to 19. The additions were joined by 9 players adjusted up in ratings and 5 going down as well as the unlock for the alternate and Christmas jerseys. Players who have stood out in the las...

Another roster update for NBA 2K13 arrived this morning and brings with it some ratings changes, a handful of new players, and the unlock of extra jerseys. The recent signings of Josh Howard by Minnesota and Shaun Livingston by Washington have been reflected. Many of those out with injuries such as Amare Stoudemire remain active however. 6 players including Kyle Singler have been added bringing the total missing now down to 19. (more…)...

Wii U Coverage Coming Next Week
Three major sports franchises launch along with the Wii U on Sunday: Madden NFL 13, FIFA 13, and NBA 2K13. The first two are actually already out and in hand while 2K13 ships out today. Impressions and videos of the three games will be posted beginning on Monday. The plan is to look at them from a perspective of comparison to the 360 and PS3 versions - given that they're supposed to be on par with what's found already on those systems - as well as how well they stand on their own. The mai...

EA and 2K Struggling to Meet Consumer Post-Release Expectations
A reasonable expectation now from yearly sports titles is to get strong post-release support in the way of additional content and patches to address issues or improve the experience. Unfortunately both EA Sports and 2K Sports have been failing in some regard with their recent releases and their communication has been severely lacking. (more…)...

NBA 2K13 Week Two Roster Update: Mike D’Antoni Added But Still Missing 25 Players
Two weeks now into the NBA season and 2K Sports has still failed to provide an accurate roster for NBA 2K13. In the latest update released today two players (P.J. Tucker and Alan Anderson) were added to the game. 25 players remain missing now. The Bobcats-Hornets swap of Matt Carroll for Hakim Warrick has been completed. In truly random fashion only one player had ratings adjusted as Landry Fields dropped by a single point. Seemingly no rhyme or reason to that - nothing was done for the g...

First Regular Season Roster Update for NBA 2K13 Available Now
The latest roster update for NBA 2K13 released early this morning representing the first to arrive since the season began. Unfortunately, as many have come to expect now, the update is severely deficient as only 3 of the 30 missing players have been added. Alexey Shved (60), Pablo Prigioni (63), and Mirza Teletovic (64) are the new additions though having been saddled with generic faces. It's unclear why it has been such a struggle for 2K Sports to provide accurate rosters and the consumer f...
