2K Sports Invites Fans to "Uncover The Cover" of NBA 2K13

[22cedric]

New York, NY – June 20, 2012 – 2K Sports today announced the launch of the “Uncover The Cover” Facebook application, which will engage the 2K Sports online community and reveal some big clues about the cover of NBA 2K13, the next installment of the top-rated NBA video game simulation franchise twelve years running.

The Facebook application will start with the clues concealed behind puzzle pieces. In order for pieces to be removed and the clues to the cover revealed, fans are encouraged to tweet about NBA 2K13 using the hashtag #UncoverNBA2K. The more tweets that are made containing the hashtag, the more pieces of the puzzle will be removed.

Fans can check the NBA 2K13 Facebook page to see the current state of the image and the effects their tweets are having in real-time. Once the cover is unveiled, fans will be able to download the final poster art file as wallpaper.

The Facebook application represents a significant departure from the traditional 2K Sports cover reveal, and will leverage the company’s sizeable social media following. For the first time in the company’s history, fans will play a decisive role in announcing the cover.

Fans can begin tweeting #UncoverNBA2K today and view the app’s progress in real-time on

A Wii U™ version of NBA® 2K13 will be available in the launch window, at a later date.

I've seen the latest version of it, i'll try get a picture. It has roses, a tarantula and two blue birds on it.

[JaoSming]

they weren't birds

[Mavs4Life]

So Durant and D-Rose are gonna be on the cover, and I have a feeling those birds are snakes..... so kobe too?

[JaoSming]

they aren't snakes, something that flies, both the animal and the person it represents

[benji]

I have a feeling those birds are snakes

wtf

[Andrew]

Sounds like we've either got three covers to choose from or a three player cover. Griffin, Rose and Durant.

[Mavs4Life]

My bad on the snake part, I haven't seen the puzzle yet so I thought CrossBonez mistook them for something.

[ESB CrowBonez]

i probably jump to conclusion, but imo i change my mind about it looking like birds, i think it could be clouds, because it's blue and a little touch of white and gray. I also see a tower down the middle of it and a road at the bottom.

Seen it in OS forums.. Seems like KD, DRose, BG32 are gonna be on the cover. But it should be James because I think they will be this year's champion.

[Mavs4Life]

Yup a Rose, a tarantula, and a Griffin, now I've got to decide which cover want.......

[Darkh]

Yeah Rose, Durant and Griffin. Well that's too bad cause Lebron plays spectacular bball right now, but who cares its just a cover.

[Andrew]

Seems 2K is ignoring the leak and encouraging everyone to keep Tweeting to reveal the image that's already out there.

[stereoxide]

So Durant is ruled out in NBA Live 13's cover.

The Brooklyn bridge has to be there for some reason, I doubt its for Deron Williams because he's technically a free agent, and it's kind of misleading if it stands for a Knicks player, but no other Net could even be there, but I bet there is a forth player there, my guess is Carmelo Anthony.

Good observation, perhaps Melo like you said, or Lin.

Yep it's possible because he grew up in Brooklyn.

Supposedly the reveal is coming tomorrow if the teaser image is completely uncovered.

Image has been uncovered. Cover to be "revealed" soon.
