This year, the NBA gave us the excitement and entertainment we wanted (As usual). This NBA season gave us an insight of what the future holds in basketball with both players and teams. The past, current, and future generations were presented in full picture this year. These are the lessons learned from this year's NBA season.
Lesson One: There is nobody even close to LeBron James right now
LeBron has been dominant for a while, but it seemed like this year he ended any ... Read More
Unless you were killed yesterday, you probably at least heard of Deandre Jordan's dunk last night. Now where does this dunk rank all time with the likes of Vince Carter, Blake Griffin, MIchael Jordan, and more in the top 10 of all time. Feel free to voice your opinion.
The voting for the NBA All-star game needs to change. Yesterday the starters were announced for the teams. On the East, it's Rondo, D-wade, King James, Melo, and KG. On the West, it's CP3, Kobe, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, and Dwight Howard. D-wade should not be starting as there have been other guards doing better than him such as Kyrie Irving or Jrue Holiday. Kevin Garnett shouldn't be on the team all together. A player like Joakim Noah or Tyson Chandler were robbed of their spot. On the West, ... Read More
NBA 2k's games have been dominant as of late. From 2007 on, every NBA 2K game has been solid. Who is competing against them for sports game of the year? FIFA 13 mainly, along side UFC 3, MLB The Show and NHL 13. As we all know FIFA usually dominates as they do have the right to the most realistic sports game out. But this year is different. NBA 2K13 has many strengths that could make it Sports Game of The Year.
1. Realism: FIFA has dominated this category for years. How does ... Read More
NBA 2K13 is the most realistic simulation basketball game ever. You will see new things every time your play it. That being said, the game is very similar to real life basketball, making it easier for the basketball fan to beat opponents with real life basketball thinking. Here are 3 ways you can take advantage against your opponent.
1. Defence - There is an old saying, defence wins championships. That statement is true in real life, and it is most definitely true in NBA 2K13. The ... Read More
The NBA 2K team has a reputation for making demos that are limited and do not show off much. This year feels completely different just because the game is that good. What NBA 2K13 showed with the demo is that if there is any improvement from the demo to the actual game, they will win a sports game of the year award. Move aside FIFA. The demo showed a complete difference in all aspects of Defence, dribbling, and contact mainly. There were no big disappointments found in the game, but there were little ... Read More
RG3 made a huge statement this past sunday by not only outplaying Drew Brees but by also having a very efficient game. This is a sign of things to come. He was amazing in college and he will be even better in the NFL because of his passing, work ethic, and his athleticism.
It's obvious that at quarterback you need not only throw power but throw accuracy. If you look into it, quarterbacks with running speed tend to have a cannon ... Read More
With NBA 2K13 gaining more fans almost day by day, you have to wonder, what is EA Sports doing? There are many possibilities of what they could be planning, hiding, or holding back. They could have a huge announcement that they're holding back, waiting for 2K to finish with their big announcements, or waiting until last minute to cancel the game(hopefully not). Either way there is a huge problem with all of these strategies.
1. Holding back a huge announcement - Now at first ... Read More
@Ronnie2K is a terrific hype man. If you don't know who he is, he is the head of marketing for NBA 2K12 and is probably the greatest hype man for video games on twitter. For practically a whole day he was telling people to make NBA 2k13 trend on twitter and that a 'HUGE' announcement was coming up. The announcement was the inclusion of The Dream Team, and the 2012 USA basketball team. Was this really 'HUGE' news?
2K Sports made a big announcement yesterday with a video trailer saying rapper Jay Z will be the executive producer of NBA 2K13. They also released the soundtrack for the game which was mostly handpicked by Jay Z.
Even though the trailer is only 24 seconds long and is mostly used just announce Jay Z as the executive producer, ... Read More
This year in basketball gaming might possibly be the most important one. The NBA Live series is making a comeback after their forgettable attempt at 'delivering revolutionary gameplay' with NBA Elite 11. Most basketball sim fans are now NBA 2K fans, after losing almost all respect for the NBA Live series. NBA Live 13 needs to deliver and hope NBA 2K13 does not. In order for NBA Live to keep their sales, they have to make 3 key improvements.
STEP 1: Improve main weaknesses in Online ... Read More
For years we have seen NBA Finals with great team play, but no real interesting one on one battles compared to this year's Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Miami Heat. The matchup between Kevin Durant and LeBron James may be one of the best of all time. We haven't seen a MVP vs runner-up MVP matchup since Michael Jordan vs Clyde Drexler in the 1992 NBA Finals(we all know what happened here). Looking back at that series, there is no reason why this series can't live up to 1992 series ... Read More
NBA Live 13 will almost most definitely probably not pass NBA 2k13 for best game or most sales. Now NBA 2K12 and the NBA 2k franchise now have their problems known by most people. Including those at EA SPORTS. With two years without a game, 2K SPORTS' problems are on the minds of many people. What NBA Live 13 needs to do, is address those problems by making them the best part of their game.
STEP 1: Passing
The public has not liked the passing in the recent NBA 2k games ... Read More
Becoming a good defender in Nba 2k12 is not very difficult All it takes is self discipline and control. Nba 2k12 added a feature where the right stick is used to put your hands up on defense. When playing perimeter defense this feature is extremely useful. Instead of closing out using the block button, use the hands up feature to try bothering the offensive players shot. If the offensive player fakes instead it sets your defender up perfectly for a good defensive sequence. If you put your hands ... Read More
