NBA 2K13 Features Sprite Slam Dunk Contest, 3 Point Contest, Rising Stars Challenge

Hopefully the addition of the dunk contest means we will finally see some real vertical attributes. No more vertical rating, lets get a real vertical (as in inches off of the ground). Maybe even the inclusion of wingspan. Lets make some kevin durant/tayshaun prince type players, lanky. I would love to see how all of this would play out in a virtual dunk contest.

Never fails.

2K announces an additional feature and people are upset about it.

Regardless of the Slam Dunk contest being in previous iterations of NBA 2K, it's being added to 2K13 and I'm happy with that.

I just hope it's integrated into Association. It'll really help give people more motivation to develop their rookies in the season in hopes of landing them a spot on the Rookie team during the All-Star break.

EA Sports owned the rights to All Star Weekend. 2K couldn't put in their games. That's why it wasn't in there. And that's why it was taken out.

Yes, this is all I'm saying. Well actually, the rookie game is in 2k12, unless it's bugged after year one. I don't know because I've haven't completed a season yet. I just want ASW in association mode.

Also to the post above that one, I didn't know Live owned the rights to ASW. Stupid NBA allowed them to do that, weird also.

Hopefully, this will be IN the game not DLC, I mean, this can be used a marketing ploy to make you pre-order the game even though the feature is in the game... Hopefully we can like choose who we want in these events, from every player in the game including future DLC players, legends, and created players...

Nice addition finally getting the full All Star experience. They need to upgrade their shoe game seriously bad this year though. More brands, add Anta, more adidas, more customization options and the same goes with other accessories. Accessories are huge for the realistic look of NBA players.

Let's not forget that All-Star weekend is usually shown on TNT as well. So maybe this is coming with some type of TNT integration.
