NBA 2K13 Cover Athletes Are Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose

He obviously meant 3 players in the same cover not seperately. It annoys me when people try to be contrarions on every single thing.

So far the new 2K13 cover is as bad as the NBA 2K10. In 2K they edited Kobe so much he looked mexican and in 2K13 the designs look look very simple and it looks like it took them a couple of hours. NBA 2K12 had awesome designs.

I agree and fully understand your point BSchwartz07's.......but the fact of the matter is: "i'm sure that many people despise NBA 2K (EA Nation) for it's (Lebron-like) "Dominance" of sports simulation gaming. but that never stops them from going out there and putting their best foot forward. weather the world likes or doesn't like 2K best foot........it is out there and it is respected. the same for having LJ on the cover......you can't go from kobe, mj, mj-magic-bird, to 3 players who are clearly all-stars and one an ex MVP, and completely skip over the player who is completely dominating the game as magic-bird-and jordan had. you just can't make that kind of mistake. true regardless of who is on the cover NBA 2K will continue to reign, but as far as judging books by their cover....this one would fall short. you look at all the past covers i mentioned and you'll see 1 thing in common......."CHAMPIONS". that's why i have never complained about LJ not getting a cover til he won a ring......because that was the standard that 2K had created for their cover hopefuls......"Simply the Best". and though this years cover will feature 3 amazing talents, it lacks the 2K standard of "Simply the Best". 3 time MVP and finally 1 Ring.....and the manner in which he accomplished those things, that is not something to over look. So if you actually read these blogs 2K.......please keep up the unbelievable work, but also...please....please.....please......don't let the fickle ways of "fans" or people who's outlook on things changes with the wind change your approach in offering up the best sports game to date. 2K Sports 4-life.

the cover looks pretty stupid

IDK why is everybody so disappointed with this cover. As a future graphics designer I know it is not easy to make this cover, but it surely isn't hard.. Last years(2K12) was better IMHO due to more design flow around players. But nonetheless... Not bad cover. But I'd love to see some of your covers as you hate it so much.

I can't do the visual effects, but I could lay out the cover better than this. If you're going to have 3 players, why have so much empty space? The excess of empty space is the biggest weird design trend. Why are only Blake and Derrick's hands clipped off? They should either fit 100% of the photos on the page, or they could zoom in and clip more off. Finally, why the red background? I know 2K said that red is its color, but something that looks better with the Thunder jersey colors would be better, or something altogether neutral, or any pattern/color that shows less of the background (as I say, too much dead space).

[Shinyhubcaps]

It also bugs me that the jerseys go home/road/road. Something symmetrical like road/home/road would be much better. Also, adding the court lines makes the poses look weird. Durant is going right for the rim, but Blake and Derrick are jumping way off to the side.

I play the game not the cover. Couldn't care less who's on the cover.
