NBA 2K13 to Feature National Team and 1992 Dream Team

2K Sports partnered with USA Basketball to feature both the 2012 USA Basketball Men’s National Team and the 1992 “Dream Team” in NBA 2K13, the next installment of the NBA video game simulation franchise.

The 2012 USA Basketball Men’s National Team has earned recognition as one of USA Basketball’s all-time greatest teams. The original “Dream Team” is widely considered the most dominant sports team ever assembled, and featured 11 Hall of Fame players including Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Clyde Drexler, Karl Malone, Chris Mullin, David Robinson, and Charles Barkley.

Developed by Visual Concepts, NBA 2K13 is not yet rated by the ESRB and will be available on October 2 in North America and October 5 internationally for Xbox 360, PlayStation3, PSP, Wii, and Windows PC. The Wii U version will be available during the holiday season. Fans can pre-order now at participating retailers in order to receive the NBA All-Star content at no extra cost.
