In the latest video, Chris covers physics, post moves, off-ball bumping, the substitution menu, online play, the Hall of Fame difficulty setting and double teams in this year’s game. Even if you aren't a 'baller' you can still have fun with this one. Chris Smoove has posted part three of his NBA 2K13 impressions, following his participation in the Team Up event. Wheres 2K Sports have fallen way behind the curve in their baseball franchise, they are the 'industry leader' in this NBA fare and I hope they continue into the future. Thus, I was pleasantly surprised by this game and foresee more hours of fun with it in the future.

The controls are simple enough for beginners, yet 'deep' enough for the seasoned vet to perfect his/her game.

The biggest reason? The control scheme is very well designed (the key structure of any successful sports video game franchise). It was my NBA 2K to play and it was a great one to. Even though there were a lot of problems with the game such as lackluster M圜areer story, poor defense A.I., and horrible servers, it was still fun. Though I can't comment on the 'frills' of this game (career mode, practice, etc.) as I will never use them, I have now played dozens of exhibitions against friends and have immensely enjoyed the experience. Also, the 2K community on YouTube was strong during that year with channels such as CashNasty, Jesser, Chris Smoove and OSN. I obliged, and quite surprisingly was sucked in from the opening tip-off of that first game. Last week, however, my brother brought home this game and wanted to play a few games.

Simply put, I'm just a baseball/football guy.

The last time I owned a basketball video game was NBA Jam for my Super Nintendo. The last time I watched an entire professional basketball game was during the Michael Jordan, Reggie Miller, Malone/Stockton era.
