KNBR 1050 radio host Damon Bruce has confirmed via his Twitter account that he will be hosting the halftime show again in NBA 2K13.
In Novato today to record for @2KSports sports NBA 2K13. This game is going to be amazing.
Damon has previously hosted the halftime report in both NBA 2K11 and NBA 2K12. What are your thoughts on the news? Leave a comment below and join in the discussion here in the NBA 2K13 section of the Forum.
Ronnie2K has put out another cryptic teaser for the upcoming, unprecedented, NBA 2K13 announcement saying that Michael Jordan himself wanted to help out. Well, rapper Jay-Z’s social media sites may have spilled the beans early, claiming that NBA 2K13 is Executive Produced by Jay-Z.
The announcement includes a short teaser uploaded to YouTube, touting the rapper’s involvement, and showing Michael Jordan along with cover players Blake Griffin, Kevin Durant, and Derrick Rose in empty practice arenas. The lighting of the players tells me it is not a fake PC 2K12 trailer, and the promotion from Jay-Z’s Twitter and Facebook pages seem to lend credibility to the announcement.
You can check out the video, and the 2K Facebook MJ announcement by hitting Read More, and feel free to comment with your thoughts here on the main page, and in this Forum thread as well. Thanks to Deyman for the heads up.
LD2k’s latest Tumblr update details the new Community Team-Up Program for NBA 2K13. The program sounds familiar to those who know about EA’s Advisory Council for NBA Live 13, but they explain that:
The 2K Sports “Community Team-Up” program is where we fly in some of our biggest fans and community members of NBA 2K, providing them with an exclusive look at NBA 2K13 and sharing some details with them pre-launch. They can then share the information we provide to them with the community.
The first two community members involved in the program were announced as well. Popular YouTube player Chris Smoove will be making the trip, as is Shady00018, also known as Rush here in the NLSC Forum.
Feel free to comment below with your thoughts on the program, and jump into the discussion here in the Forum.
It’s just over a couple of months until the release of NBA Live 13 and NBA 2K13, so we’re starting our countdown game in the NLSC Forum! For those who are unfamiliar with it, the game involves posting pictures of players wearing the jersey number that corresponds to the number of days left until the games are released. Since quite a few jersey numbers above #55 have not been worn by any NBA players, creativity is encouraged!
We’ve got a countdown thread for each game this year, so if you miss out on posting your favourite player in one countdown you’ve got a chance to post them in the other one.
Join in the fun today and be a part of the latest discussion in the NBA Live 13 and NBA 2K13 sections of the Forum!
Chris “LD2k” Manning is back with this week’s 2K Sports Community Update over on Tumblr. There still isn’t much in the way of new info, with the NBA 2K13 portion of the update mostly just offering a recap of the commercial shoot in Las Vegas earlier in the week. For anyone who’d like to skip straight to the interviews or behind the scenes footage in the replay of the live stream, Chris has provided the times you need to jump to. Those clips will also be made available on 2K Sports’ official YouTube channel in the near future.
More information on the game itself should be right around the corner, as Chris notes that we “aren’t too far off from a glimpse of NBA 2K13” and that “the time is almost here”. We’ll be sure to cover all the news and info as it comes out but in the meantime, you can join in the latest NBA 2K13 discussion right here in the NLSC Forum.

The official NBA 2K13 cover has been revealed, showcasing Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose. Unlike NBA 2K12, all three athletes will appear on the same cover. Kotaku has an article up detailing the teaser image and cover athletes. While no new information on the game itself is revealed, the article does mention that the Brooklyn Bridge in the background of the cover teaser was meant to represent Michael Jordan, who will still have an undisclosed role in the upcoming game. The article also teases a “biggest announcement ever”, which is claimed to be the biggest ever in NBA 2K history, coming in a few weeks.
After you check out the full cover by clicking Read More, get your opinion heard either in the comments or here in the Forum.
The teaser image for the NBA 2K13 cover has officially been completely revealed, leading to the announcement that the cover itself will be unveiled tomorrow. The common interpretation of the clues is that Blake Griffin (blue griffins), Derrick Rose (red roses) and Kevin Durant (gold tarantula) are the players being hinted at in the teaser, suggesting either a cover featuring all three players or perhaps more likely, three different covers similar to NBA 2K12.
The Brooklyn Bridge is also featured in the teaser, with the common suggestion being that it may represent either Michael Jordan or Carmelo Anthony, both of whom have ties to Brooklyn. We’ll have the answer very soon but in the meantime, what are your final guesses for the three (or four) players that the clues likely represent?

Corey of MyNBALivePad.com has posted a very interesting feature article titled “The Future of NBA Video Games”, which you can check out here. The article examines aspects of basketball video games that Corey feels haven’t been perfected in any title as yet, things that need to be done to take basketball games to the next level as we move forward.
It’s definitely a great read and the kind of stuff that bears mentioning in future Wishlists, so be sure to give it a look and give Corey some feedback. Don’t forget to join in the discussion of what you’re hoping to see from this year’s games in the NBA Live 13 and NBA 2K13 sections of the NLSC Forum.
It appears as though the clues for the NBA 2K13 cover reveal have been leaked. The teaser image, intended to be unveiled gradually as fans continue to Tweet #UncoverNBA2K, has been revealed in full and posted on several sites including the NLSC Forum.
The image features two blue griffins, several red roses and a gold tarantula, seemingly representing Blake Griffin, Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant. If so, this would suggest that NBA 2K13 will feature all three of those players on the cover, or alternatively three different covers as NBA 2K12 did with Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.
You can check out the full teaser image below. What do you make of these clues? Sound off in the comments below as well as here in the NBA 2K13 section of the Forum.
