At E3 2011, 2K Sports was more than eager to show off their support for the PlayStation Move in NBA 2K12. Â Kobe took the stage and awkwardly fumbled his way through the game, while hamming it up with developers. Â It looks like this partnership has been short-lived, because today the sports game maker announced that PlayStation Move support is being dropped for NBA 2K13. Â However, the game will support Microsoft’s Kinect and will allows players to use voice commands .
This may not come as a big suprise, if you’ve been following our news feed over the past few weeks. Â Earlier this month, box art surfaced for NBA 2K13 that touted the sports titles as “Better with Kinect”. Â According to Joystiq, The Kinect will be used to allow players to issue voice commands to their team. Â Directing in-game traffic, you can tell players to move into the paint, or call specific plays throughout the course of the game. Â These Kinect voice commands will only be supported in the game’s single player mode.
NBA 2K13 will arrive on October 2nd for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
