I'm Back!

Hello all. I am extremely sorry for not updating in months! I have been really busy. But I plan to begin regularly posting about various topics again. As you probably can tell I have completely redesigned my blog to make it fit more subjects than Star Wars as I no longer like Star Wars and want to remove it completely from my blog. I have recently acquired NBA 2K13 and in a short while will be typing up a review to post. Basketball and such is also going to be discussed on a regular basis on this blog, so if you enjoy basketball  then you can expect many posts to come. And now for the promised review of NBA 2K13! When I show you different elements of the game it will be necessary to use pictures, so expect quite a few to go along with my certain points.


I. The game play is smoother and the players faces are improved. As I am reviewing a PC version some of the features I describe as annoying may be different on a game console. I also have an Xbox 360 game system, but I have not yet tried NBA 2K13 on it. Now back to game play review... The shots are much more detailed and now fall according to shot stick release and angle of shot, as well as players abilities. This is truly a step up from 2K12 as 35 year old players would drain near half court shots with ease. For example, I once saw a player swish a nothing but net shot from near 60 feet!!! This error was fixed in this years model thanks to the Dynamic Shot Generator.

II. My Player mode is extremely fun as you can now be drafted first and presentation is wonderful... I really don't have time to mention all the improved features but I will say that it is truly upgraded!


III. Association mode is what I spend most of my NBA 2K13 time doing. You select a team and become coach, GM, players, and team scouts and are responsible for drafting new players, running your team to perfection, managing you affiliate in the NBA D-league (Which is like minor league baseball except basketball), and even setting up and running team practices, managing injuries, changing lineups, signing players, trades and much, much more.


IV. The last new major change which I'll highlight is the feature of recreating the Olympic teams. You can recreate and answer the question of who is better the 2012 squad or the Dream Team by matching up and playing a basketball game between the two. Since I haven't used this mode yet I really can't say much more about it except it looks extremely exciting.
