POSTED September 05, 2012
2K Sports today announced NBA 2K Everywhere, giving fans the opportunity to experience NBA 2K virtually anywhere via an all-new mobile companion application, a social game on Facebook, and a full-featured mobile version of NBA 2K13 for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android devices. NBA 2K Everywhere will extend the NBA 2K experience by offering players greater flexibility, more variety and new ways to play, at home or on the go, with these all-new social and mobile games. Additionally, both the mobile companion app and Facebook game enable players to feed data and experience right back into NBA 2K13 for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, introducing a new level of connectivity and continuity to the NBA 2K experience.
The free companion app, MyNBA2K, will be available in October on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Android, and Kindle devices. Players can experience a series of entertaining mini-games including shooting practice, free throw drills, a dribbling course, and autograph signing. With intuitive multi-touch controls and a variety of pick-up-and-play training games, MyNBA2K will offer an easy way for players to stay connected to their MyCAREER and MyTEAM experience in NBA 2K13 while away from home. MyNBA2K will be available for free from the App Store on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore. The app will also available for free on the Amazon Appstore for Android, including a Kindle Fire edition, and on Google Play.
NBA 2K: MyLIFE, 2K Sports’ first ever social game, will launch in October on Facebook. Players can import their MyCAREER avatars from NBA 2K13 to compete in skills competitions with friends, build their home-court environment, and play through experiences of an NBA superstar including earning endorsements and fostering relationships with fellow NBA stars. Accomplishments in NBA 2K: MyLIFE can help unlock clothing, dunk packages, and other rewards in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 system versions of NBA 2K13.
For the second consecutive year, fans can also purchase an authentic, full-featured NBA simulation experience for their mobile devices with NBA 2K13 for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android devices. The new mobile game will be available in October and feature intuitive multi-touch controls, improved graphics and, for the first time, a new multiplayer mode via Bluetooth and Game Center (iOS version only). Fans can also relive some of the NBA’s most memorable games with the NBA’s Greatest Mode.

We’re offering more ways to experience NBA 2K than ever before.”
