2K Sports Invites Fans to “Uncover The Cover” of NBA® 2K13

Facebook application to reveal clues about cover for
next installment of top-selling and top-rated basketball simulation*

New York, NY – June 20, 2012 – 2K Sports today announced the launch of the “Uncover The Cover” Facebook application, which will engage the 2K Sports online community and reveal some big clues about the cover of NBA 2K13, the next installment of the top-rated NBA video game simulation franchise twelve years running.

The Facebook application will start with the clues concealed behind puzzle pieces. In order for pieces to be removed and the clues to the cover revealed, fans are encouraged to tweet about NBA 2K13 using the hashtag #UncoverNBA2K. The more tweets that are made containing the hashtag, the more pieces of the puzzle will be removed.

Fans can check the NBA 2K13 Facebook page to see the current state of the image and the effects their tweets are having in real-time. Once the cover is unveiled, fans will be able to download the final poster art file as wallpaper.

The Facebook application represents a significant departure from the traditional 2K Sports cover reveal, and will leverage the company’s sizable social media following. For the first time in the company’s history, fans will play a decisive role in announcing the cover.

Fans can begin tweeting #UncoverNBA2K today and view the app’s progress in real-time on http://2kgam.es/UncoverNBA2K.

Who do you think the NBA 2K13 cover athlete will be?

# 123 icemanfrost @ 06/21/12 08:27 AM

The three current players : blake griffin,kevin durant and derrick rose
no more bird this or that its a reason they chose to go with a griffin bird

# 124 kg54mvp1 @ 06/21/12 09:07 AM

# 126 ccoaxum @ 06/21/12 09:55 AM

This

Blake Griffon!

Maybe they should've used this guy as a clue instead

I should have known this would happen. Sorry 2K.

Yea I just saw that maybe they are putting the Barclay's Arena in the background or something like that

# 133 almostbobsaget @ 06/21/12 10:17 AM

Is the Optimus Prime between the two gryphons?

Maybe it will be Shia Labeouf. Or Megan Fox.

# 134 biggity13 @ 06/21/12 10:38 AM

Surprised Blake and Durant are on the cover considering they were on the cover of recent EA sports games. Blake on the cover on NCAA basketball 10 and Durant on the cover of March Madness 08 and Elite 11.

# 135 exposedaking @ 06/21/12 10:39 AM

I would like to see the MVP

Yeah, same here. That's what I was talking about when I said I think people are leaving something out (back before the picture got posted on here, since I didn't want it to be spoiled for those who wanted to wait.)

# 138 MostlyChilly @ 06/21/12 11:01 AM

Roses = Derrick Rose
Griffin bird = Blake Griffin
Tarantula = 'Durantula', Kevin Durant

Brooklyn Bridge = Deron Williams?

# 139 jersez @ 06/21/12 11:02 AM

Idk man, I think the multiple athletes works for legends. I don't have a problem with D.rose because he's been working with 2k for a while and is a helluva player. I don't really think Blake should be on the cover, I'm cool with Durant. But I would have preferred a Barkley vs Jordan cover or Lebron, I understand why they didn't put Lebron on the cover because there are a lot of people that hate him.

And as a former NETS fanatic I hope nothing associated with the Brooklyn Nets is on the cover. I would be really disgusted if I have to look at the Brooklyn Nets when I pop 2k13 in.
