The Official NBA 2K13 Q&A Thread

[JaoSming]

Also before the game launched I read an article about linking the game to facebook where they had some form of game there also. think it was called my life or something? Anyone know anything about that?

Hasnt launched yet, not for PC players.

you mean it has not launched yet for pc players or for everyone and never available for pc players? i got the ps3 version myself

afaik, it just hasnt launched yet. The PC thing is you cannot sync it with the PC version of the game.

Hey guys how is the bumping animations in the game? In 2K12 it was annoying as fuck to play as a big man in the paint because you get stuck in stupid collision animations. What about this year?

greatly improved IMO

[Kinggdawg]

Who knows...2K might let us sync our myplayers to make up for everything else..

Does anyone else have problems with the arena music in game and halftime report music?? Or is it just me..

[Sauru]

now i just have to get the game to use my last name like last year and all will be fine

I have a copy of the nba 2k13 for ps3 I played as the 84/85 Philly 76ers and I noticed there was no Dr. J which I even checked the 76/77 76ers and he wasn't their, I know was in last year game 2k12? I do not have a pre ordered copy I'm wondering is this supposed to be like this with no Dr. J? Dosen't really make sense. Is he only in the pre ordered copy or something or apart of the online features?

And I see some videos which claim to be nba 2k13 with footage of charles Barkley in the Phoenix suns uniform and even one of Reggie Miller in his Indiana, here is a youtube link which claims to show these players on their teams http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zKD7IdNrbM
I just want to know if they are a part of the game on their Nba teams they played with? I know Barkley is on the dream team, but I want to know if the game has him on his phoenix team?

[Andrew]

No, that's unfortunately the way it is. They couldn't secure the likeness rights of a few players to include them again this year, so they had to be removed.

Pretty sure that video is NBA 2K12 with the Ultimate Base Roster and a misleading title/description.

[JaoSming]

that link is a fan trailer, mislabeled as 2K13

No Dr J, no Kareem, no Webber officially in 2K13.

[Kinggdawg]

Does anyone know how to sign out of an account while in game?

How do we convert cyberface from 2k12 to 2k13? I want my myplayer cyberface from 2k12 to be on 2k13, would that be possible?

For blacktop why cant i chose star players from each team
and also i tried to play with my friend. we use pc. it is possible to play blacktop 2 on 2 and more with two players.
however we cant managed to play one on one?
thanks for answering!

[JaoSming]

as answered in your thread (dont do this again please) no you cannot play blacktop online, and yes the stars are missing due to a glitch that will hopefully be fixed

Does MyCareer mode use the default 2k rosters every time no matter what? Or can it use your own saved roster? Or does it use whatever roster was last updated online?

I'm trying to figure out whether to start a MyPlayer now or later.

[JaoSming]

fairly certain it uses the loaded roster

[Nick]

Can anyone confirm this?

My go-to passing method is icon passing. I don't use the right stick for passing. So, how do I do a bounce pass to my center when L2 is the modifier for bounce pass (and L2 is the icon for center)?

[JaoSming]

you cant do a manual icon bounce pass. only directional. LT + A

[crazy_me_87]

lucky me got the PC version today early

the "game summary" (i don´t know the exact term i´m from Germany and in the Menu it says "Spielzusammenfassung")

the part were you can watch each players highlights after games


i cant use it... everytime i hit it just nothing happened

can anyone tell me if its just my game or if this is a general issue

thanks!

Is this PC Version worth getting? Or is it the same as 2K12? Because I really want the PC version cuz of the mods w/c I cant do on my xbox

[JaoSming]

just know it doesnt have this stuff http://www.nba-live.com/nba-2k13-pc-dif ... -versions/

otherwise the game plays great, a lot of the 2k12 bugs are fixed (omg, players running at different speeds! I missed you sooooo much) and modding looks promising

well worth it IMO. but if you are happy with the console version for now, wait for the DD release on the 16th, or for a sale on the PC version to at least $20 since not a lot of mods are available yet.

[Kinggdawg]

I notice that there is a file called "Myteamroster.iff" in the 2k13 game folder...so that means all the files for VC and MyTEAM and MyCareer closet must be in the game.. the allstar files are also there I think

[JaoSming]

the allstar files are also there I think

they are certainly not, as the consoles download another 120mb of data for the DLC. the VC and MyTeam might be in there, but I doubt they will be unlocked.

Sad to know 2K didn't include some of the modes included in the console versions, but with the gameplay improved, I thinkl I'll get the game.

[Jarus]

i heard back in GTA IV community that if u install mods\patches for the game, youll get a ban online,
is that the case here??
i dont know if i can play with all the cheat tables everyone posted here, as of the kinect like, and modded iffs.

[Murat]

What are the extra teams (classical teams, Teams of USA)?
