Great point but it is kind of hard reserving a game when you are overseas or deployed during those times. Do to the region stuff Microsoft has established you can't play overseas games or vice versa.

What about for us soldiers stationed overseas? We normally get 'special' games, for example, BF3 gave us the first map pack free with purchase. Is something like that in the works for us since we have our own store?

It's not a real feature, that our die-hard fans give a flying fart about! 4. It's nothing more than a gimmick, die-hard fans buy it day one no matter what, this serves no benefits. 5. It was hyped up for no apparent reason, more fluff for the duff!!! 6. Hey how about this, game comes out in 4 months, why not flood the scene with gameplay videos and screenshots like your competitor is doing both their football games. 7. MLB 2k series just got canned, you could be a little more sensitive to your fans, by not releasing news like this it's bad karma for you company. 8. This will pass over the PC version, in which I'm sure 40 to 60% of your fans will buy thanks to mods. And it will be PS3 and 360 Only.... 9. Ronnie 2k is helping the push of death on 2ksports games. 10. Stop doing EA type things and get back to being the 2k we've loved since Dreamcast. (IMO: The statement about PC version being 40% to 60% is because most retailers never receive copies of the game. Maybe if fans could find it, we'd buy it more. Just saying Gamestop getting 1 copy per year, isn't helping that format grow...)

Not to play 'Captain Save 2k' but c'mon now. LD2k clearly stated that some will like it and some will not. No hype whatsoever. They are getting a little more official with ASW -- how is that a bad thing? The rest of your post sounds personal.

Love your youtube videos but this post causes 'purple names' to shy away from this community. #JustSayin

I will be here to clarify as much as I can. Also make sure to check in with Ronnie's twitter and whenever updates are posted anywhere - I'll stop by and update for everyone.

why do we have to preorder just to have this feature i hope u give us a code i dont wanna pay dlc for something that should already be in the game

[NYdreams]

weak.... first of all this shouldnt even be dlc... it was in 2k11 so i dont know whats that all about...
second to not even know if this is the official all star weekend and not just players outside playing ball again is kinda suspect...
i usually pre order every 2k game but after 2k12 ill just wait for some more news and see whats going on with Live.. although 2k will be better overall i only care about online and thats the part where 2k fails the most

I do not believe EA owned the All-Star rights. It is just a theory many folks have come up with over the years.

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.

Right on. I'm with you 100%
