#NBA 2K13 CONTROLS FULL#
This is a solid companion mode to the awesome total package offered in the full game (you can read my full review here). I think that is a nice touch, and considering this mode was separated from the rest of the game, it was smart to make it as unique as possible.Ĭheck out a quarter of gameplay from the All-Star game. It also features traditional gameplay, but it is almost as if the entire commentary package is All-Star related. This is clearly the main event of the package. Here is one quarter of gameplay from the Rising Stars game.
#NBA 2K13 CONTROLS PATCH#
This could always be updated with a patch at a later time, so stay tuned for that.

It is possible the official jerseys weren't finalized by the time the mode was completed, so they chose to go the safe and plain route. There is some nice situational commentary in this one, but the uniforms are ultra bland. This little brother to the All-Star game features standard gameplay with the best rookies pitted against the best second-year players. Previously called the Rookie game, this exhibition is officially called the Rising Stars Challenge. I did a little better in my first try here, but it's still not a contest-winning performance. The biggest challenge here is getting into a rhythm of grabbing the balls off the rack, and finding the right release point. The better the shooter, the less precise you'll have to be. You're basically trying to align the moving basketball with the circle in the meter in the upper right corner of the screen. The controls are a little less responsive than they are in real gameplay, but I enjoy the timing involved. This is actually my favorite part of the All-Star package. It will take some practice to master, hopefully I'll be in midseason form by the time the dunk contest rolls around in my Association mode. I was not very good at it, and I had LeBron James. The more difficult the dunk, the more immaculate you have to be with the timing of your button presses. It's a solid mode that provides a bite-sized challenge perfect for on-the-go action.It represents the novelty act it is meant to be when played in that situation. Each star has multiple performances to recreate, from Kobe's 81-point outburst to Jordan's 63-point playoff classic. There are five stars available - Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Dirk Nowitzki, Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant. The Greatest Games mode allows you to relive some of the memorable performances from past and current stars. Quick Game gets you right into the action, allowing you to pit any current NBA team against another. There are few modes to choose from - Quick Game, Greatest Games, Multiplayer, Multiseason and Practice. The mobile version takes the Jay-Z influenced soundtrack from the console version, providing a hip-hop heavy feel while navigating the menus. The frame rate also dipped during cutscenes. This delay didn't occur all every time, but it was jarring when it did. There were times it felt like the player I was controlling wasn't quickly responding to my commands. Where it falls short is with the player you control. Your AI-controlled teammates will use screens to get open and really make an attempt to replicate how an NBA offense should look. The on-court action is solid when you consider this is something you're playing on your phone or tablet.
