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.

Awesome....they are re-adding features from previous 2K games that were taken out for no apparent reason. I'm so stoked.

First major announcement about 2k13 is something that required 0% innovation. Just more reason to NOT pre-order this game.

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.

I am really hopeful that this announcement is the start of a complete presentation overhaul that gives a true fan experience of the NBA. If they can create the atmospheres of the All-Star weekend, NBA playoffs, rivalry games and so on, I will be a happy camper.

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.

Y'all act like they get more money out of you by reserving a game! What's the big deal of a $5 deposit off the purchase price of a game you're going to buy?

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.

I have been told it will also be available internationally.

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?

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

This to me is a disappointment in the whole series, and a waste of an announcement.

1. You are announcing a feature that was originally in previous titles
2. It's pre-order only? Seriously? SMH!
3. 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.

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

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

We want to know will the mode be in association mode and if so how will they pick who will be in the event and what not
