Here are the latest file additions for NBA 2K13 PC. In addition to the NBA 2K Audio Editor that JaoSming mentioned earlier, Leftos has also released a working version of his Roster Workshop. Additionally, nbatak has released a new Draft Class, dancooper has uploaded a fictional cyberface and AlphaJustice has put out another signature shoe update. Download all of the latest additions at the links below!
The day has finally come, we can now have custom soundtracks on the PC version of NBA 2K13. After all the work nesa24 has done, he provided Leftos with the needed information and just hours later a tool was created. The NBA 2K Audio Editor currently only supports NBA 2K13’s menu music file, but since NBA 2K11, 2K12 and other audio files such as commentary share the same format, it is possible to see an expanded usage of the tool. Below you will find a step-by-step video tutorial I created, which goes over the tool, how to select viable songs, how to shorten songs if need be and of course, how to import them into the file.
Please make your way over to the Forum Thread and say thank you to nesa24 and Leftos for this fantastic tool!
Douglas Veney of Stick Skills has posted his hands-on preview of NBA Live 14 after spending some time with the game at E3 2013. He notes fluid dribbling animations, impressive visuals and responsive controls, while giving a rundown of BounceTek. On the whole, Douglas expresses cautious optimism as we look ahead to the NBA Live 14 preview season.
He also had the opportunity to interview gameplay designer Scott O’Gallagher, in a video you can check out towards the end of the preview or here on the Stick Skills YouTube channel. As always, feel free to have your say in the comments below, or take the discussion to this thread in the NBA Live 14 section of the Forum.
Start your week off right with the latest new and updated releases from our NBA 2K13 modding community! Mythbuster has released a new 2013 All-Star court, Tha King has updated his Jersey Roster and Jerry Gildner has uploaded another pack of fictional faces. matu55 has also released a roster for the PSP version of the game. Pick up all of the latest releases at the links below.
In NBA 2K9 we were lucky enough to figure out how to import our own music into the game, but since then the format 2K has used in their games has eluded us. Thanks to nesa24‘s persistence and dedication in our Forum, he has figured out the format used in NBA 2K13 PC. Once we figure out how to easily import our own music, custom soundtracks will finally be available on NBA 2K’s most customizable version. Depending on whether or not this audio format is consistent between all files, we could potentially edit commentary and other sounds in the game as well.
For now, please head over to this Forum thread and tell nesa24 thank you, because this is a huge breakthrough for the community, four years in the making.

If this is your first time reading The Friday Five and are wondering what it’s all about, this is a feature that I post every Friday in which I pick a topic that’s related to basketball video games, the real NBA or another area of interest to our community, then either give my thoughts on the matter as a list of five items or count down a Top 5.
It’s been a rough few years for NBA Live to say the least, but its appearance at E3 2013 seems to have renewed interest and optimism in the series, with several of the hands-on impressions being quite positive and suggesting a lot of promise.
