NBA 2K13

Best Commentary/Presentation

It wasn't even close.

While it wasn't a unanimous decision by the staff, we saw NBA 2K13 win the best commentary/presentation category by a mile. And why shouldn't it?

The broadcast presentation is spot on, the commentary is likely the best in the entire genre in almost every respect -- and then there's the Jay-Z flair the game sported this year throughout the presentation.

One thing the NBA 2K series seemingly does every year is find a way to make each game feel unique or special. 2K11 was all about Jordan, 2K12 was about the Legends, 2K13 had Jay-Z executive produce it -- each game had a unique feel and each game deserved to win a ton of awards.

So without hesitation, it's easy to recommend NBA 2K13 as the best Commentary/Presentation of 2012.
