Goodbye Michael Jordan, Hello Blake Griffin, Kevin Durant and Derrick Rose.
Game: NBA 2K13
Release: October 2, 2012
Platforms: Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PC
Publisher: 2K Sports
Developer: Visual Concepts
After having Michael Jordan featured in the previous two installments of 2K’s basketball sim, this time around 2K Sports decided to give cover rights to Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose and Blake Griffin. Jason Argent of 2K Games stated “We selected what we believe are the three most exciting youngest, hottest players in the league to grace the cover of our game this year”; and in my opinion with the exception of LBJ, what better three players to have gracing this year’s cover. With NBA 2K shifting back into traditional cover art form with current players, hopefully the developers can shift the franchise back to traditional game-play as well.
Tip-off is set to begin October 2nd. #NBA2K13
