Definitely worth it if you like basketball and are willing to install some mods.
 
what are the must have mods for this?
It depends on what you're looking for. I've downloaded community rosters, graphic mods, jerseys mods, and arena mods. The jersey one is probably the most important since some of them show up as all white in the game. The jerseys were unlocked, but 2k never released the models for the PC version. So you'll have to download jersey mods to ensure all the jerseys show up correctly.

Here are few sites to find NBA 2k13 mods:

Feel free to drop me a line if you're having any issues or questions. I'm fairly new at modding this game as well, but the community at NLSC is pretty active and helpful.
 
guys! you also get 5.00 discount promotion code for any 2k studio game that you buy on 12/26 ;)
 
How is the multiplayer on PC? And if it is okay, is it easy to find Ranked games like the console?

Sports games are the only thing I really still play on the console (PS3/360 etc), everything else is PC.
 
Got it. played a game. Seems improved but my opinion is it needs modding. The graphics look worse imo. Looking into mods but atm it looks like an old 360 game from 2007.

Yeah that's what has me worried... it just seems sports games are better on consoles.
 
Online for the PC version sucks tbh.

Spaceman is correct that the game looks bad with vanilla textures; however, mods make the game look outstanding. If you're good with ENB, it fully works with NBA 2k13; however, if you're not versed in ENB, there are other mods available. The more important is the global file (global.iff). I can post a list of the mods I'm using if anyone wants.
 
Thanks for the heads up on the online.

I don't know what it is... I am addicted to playing BBALL online, but unfortunately my PS3 is dead at the moment.

Yes please. Game just looks bad and plays good. I keep thinking about what it looks like while I am playing though. Distracting.
 
Here's a list of what I use and think are best; however, I encourage you to look around to see if there may be other mods you like better.

Best Roster http://forums.nba-live.com/viewtopic.php?f=149&t=89488
Even includes accurate coach settings and tendencies. Truly the ultimate roster mod (you'll see why that's a pun).

Best Settings: http://forums.nba-live.com/downloads.php?view=detail&df_id=4104
A file for every level of difficulty. The included roster is not bad either.

Best Stadiums / Arenas: http://forums.nba-live.com/viewtopic.php?f=149&t=88830 or http://forums.nba-live.com/viewtopic.php?f=149&t=88144
The second link to Mythbuster's creations is more limited; however, I find his Phillips Arena (Atlanta), Staples Center v2 (Lakers), and a few others are better suited to my taste (I like reflections! :))

Best Global: http://forums.nba-live.com/viewtopic.php?f=149&t=88183
Use the global with long hex sleeve. The other one still has some issues with clipping.

Best Jerseys: http://forums.nba-live.com/viewtopic.php?f=149&t=88423
A must have to eliminate the "all white" jerseys that 2k failed to give us textures for. Make sure you get the Winter Jersey Pack at least since it includes all the Christmas jerseys. Link also includes some CF packs for different teams and enhanced tattoos. I'm still trying to confirm that all the alternates for every team are there and the "all white" blank jerseys are gone. NOTE: There are some missing alternate jerseys, Blazers and Cavs. Also, some of the jerseys look messed up in menus, but they're fine in game (see Spurs alternate for example).

http://forums.nba-live.com/downloads.php?view=detail&df_id=3811 (unlocks all the codes, jerseys, etc.; however, I need to test whether or not this is required for the jerseys to unlock since 2k's recent jersey updates)
http://forums.nba-live.com/viewtopic.php?f=149&t=88394 (dornas aka sideline boards for some courts; provides a lot of realism with true advertisements...not 2k ones -- MUST HAVE)

Go through the files located here: http://forums.nba-live.com/downloads.php?cat=153 and look for cyber faces that you like. A lot of better looking player faces here. Also, there are tons more files available on NLSC and the community is very helpful.

If you have questions about installing, let me know and I can guide you through it when your read. Add me on Steam (http://steamcommunity.com/id/chickendipper19/) if you want and we can chat about it whenever.

Do you guys know if all NBA2k13 keys are Steam activated? I can get it elsewhere for $19.99....
I don't think it requires Steam since it was released on disc about a month before the digital release. If you're buying a digital version, then I'm not sure how it will work.
 
Dont forget you can use your $5 coupon from buying a game at end of last year. Hmm, do I want this for $10 or fifa 13 for $15.
 
Got this with the $5 Amazon promo. $10 is still probably too much (same price as Torchlight II means likely not as good a value) all else being equal, but given it's this year's game for a genre that doesn't get much PC love, I bit. My first sports game on PC...
 
If someone is willing to buy it for me (I'm Canadian so can't buy amazon game codes...) please send me a PM, I can pay by paypal.
 
Great value. I don't care much for playing online, but franchise mode is the best.

I feel the same. The PC version is much better for franchise players because of all the mods and constantly updated rosters.

You can use any address in the United States to buy digital games from Amazon.
 
Just got it $9.99 with the coupon..Nice find OP.Strange thing is when I searched Amazon to buy it 2 days ago,it was showing regular price.
 
Got it for 4.99 with two coupons. I thought the coupons couldn't stack, but they did.
 
Like the man says, use a VPN and make a fresh Steam account in case they ban you for skirting stupid regional restrictions.

I actually have a VPN that I use to watch NBA TV so that won't be a problem when i'm downloading, but what do I put for credit card billing address?
 
you could always get someone to buy it for you and then just paypal him the cash. I could do it if you want. I have the $5 coupon too and I do not think I will be using it.
