Something tells me they'll also have this available as regular DLC, maybe even convert it to a regular part of the game and association if people holler enough. I don't really care either way though, it's not a huge announcement and I think most people could do without.

Now Gamestop is listing you can get NBA All Star Weekend if you preorder NBA 2K13.

This is wack in all honesty. If you can pit legends against current NBA players then that lets me know that this is not something that is going to be implemented into your season or Association mode. It is going to be like Legends Showcase just plastered in All Star Weekend.

It's all speculation at this point but I think there's a good possibility you're right, considering how 2K handled last year's DLC. Then again, to take an optimistic view, NBA Live also used to allow legends to be pitted against currents in their dunk contests.

Speaking of Live, one of the really small aspects I liked about their dunk contest: the ability to choose any of my players's current, retro, or practice jerseys. I'm hopeful 2K13 doesn't force players to wear specific jerseys.

Nice addition I guess. But I already lost my interest in the dunk contest since VC won it few years ago. It's not the same. RL or in Game.

Will further details on All-Star Weekend be released in the near future? Or will this be a situation where we must wait until the pre-release developer diaries?

I hope this has full Association integration. I also imagine that 2k will make this purchasable after the game comes out. More ways to get money.

The way how the legends were handled last year I wouldn't count on it. We had a HUGE thread just so we can add the missing legends for there respective teams. A damn workaround but then later on we had to purchase the DLC so we can just add the missing players....

I would expect that this will be like some stand alone where it's another option like the Blacktop mode.

Also I'm not seeing the PC version listed for the All Star mode...;.

Count on it not being in it either. They never deliver DLC to us PC gamers. If this ASW thing is as good as advertised, I may switch to the PS3 version. But even then, this thing should be apart of the regular game.

Re: NBA 2K13 Features Sprite Slam Dunk Contest, 3 Point Contest, Rising Stars Challen

Pretty standard, not surprised. It's still a cool announcement for some people I guess.

Re: NBA 2K13 Features Sprite Slam Dunk Contest, 3 Point Contest, Rising Stars Challen

Unless this makes it into season, association, and MP modes where it should be this is pretty unimpressive to me. I'm all for All-Star Weekend being standalone also, but really what is the point of an All-Star Weekend if it doesn't make it into the correct game modes that actually utilizes the All-Star break. Another thing is why does this have to even be a pre-order bonus...this is a part of the NBA it's not some onetime event so the fact this it's a dlc is just disheartening and makes no sense and 2K should know better than this.

On another note I hope they get rid of those hideous uniforms in the Rising Star Challenge and put the players in there original team jersey's like it's suppose to be.

Re: NBA 2K13 Features Sprite Slam Dunk Contest, 3 Point Contest, Rising Stars Challen

2K was smart on this one though, forcing people to pre order the game now, and if you don't you will have to buy this mode later....

Anyway if this has nothing to do with MP or Association then its not relevant to me... I hated the way the Dunk Contest was in blacktop mode so I hope they redid it to be more like Lives!

But we have all summer and fall for info so I guess I will sit back and watch!

How I loathe "downloadable content" and pre-order specials. Focusing on making money the wrong way with Madden-esque gimmicks. Make a great game and the pre-orders will come! I got my eye on you 2k. For those who think oh it's only $5 that you already were going to pay that's exactly how they want you to feel as business men, but the overall point is they are devauling something on purpose to make extra money. It is obvious that the all-star mode could be in everyone's game. That is fact. So they are obviously supressing things for money.. also known as ripping somebody off. This is just bad publicity to me because the excuse is everyone does it so we have to also to keep up. This is the Madden theory, taking stuff out of games to put in later. Like making something as bare as possible so that you have the core to base all your additional (DLC) or future (newer versions) purchases on. All the same ideas. It's smart in a money sense but you are sacrificing dignity for those extra bucks in the eyes of somebody who understands the dynamics. Most don't though and don't care to ever understand it, so it works.

“The NBA All-Star package is our way saying ‘thank you’ to fans for their ongoing love of the NBA 2K series,” said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. “This content provides a ton of depth and value to our fans, and it’s just the beginning of a lot of big news about NBA® 2K13.”

This is the type of two-faced business talk that rules our government too and it makes me sick. You just made a game mode and are telling people they will have to pay extra for it if they don't want to pre-order. So you're holding me hostage over $5? I guess I should say I appreciate the gratitude of NBA 2k for even making a new mode and not just releasing last year's game with new rosters! So gracious of you 2k. You better slow your role 2k. The government has woken people up!

I have been told it will also be available internationally.

**kolanji** · 05-30-2012, 12:35 PM

Re: NBA 2K13 Features Sprite Slam Dunk Contest, 3 Point Contest, Rising Stars Challen

lets hope more info is available soon maybe around e3 when devs and publishers are in hype mode for their respected IP's and start talking/showing what they accomplished so far in their dev cycles .... and maybe then we will get to find out how integrated the ASW is into the game and maybe just maybe some added info we can look forward to come NBA 2k13.

as far as ASW announcement goes am not overwhelm about it nor am i disappointed...for those of u who r great am glad u feel that way and for those of u who were not for ur own personal reasons ....am glad ur expressing it but maybe we should just give them time to feed us more info..after all its just an announcement......i say lets give em time and wait for the insights
