While I like the bonus thing with All-Star Weekend and all. I really hope they have improved the gameplay and all. Because if ain't improved. Then I will be disappointed in 2k. But I like the idea of the add on bonus for 2k13.

So much hate on this page
Dude #1 hatin' dude #2 because 2K promised one thing and did another. 2K did not live up to what they promised, I got that! So why is dude #3 mad at dude #1-15 for expressing their frustration?

2K has been slipping on their word for years and I still buy NBA 2K whatever, get pissed, wait, wait, wait, then get the next one.

I am disappointed with this announcement myself but I think it is good promotional advertisement to get people to reserve it.

I will reserve it for $5, wait until January's updates, if the gameplay isn't good (glitches fixed) I will get my $5 back and get some else.

2 easy!

The hell with this preorder business as I will try to get it early like I did in years past!

demos will decide where my reserve goes

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?

I usually wait until Black Friday to buy the game for cheap. 20-30 dollars. So because I wait that long I won't be able to get this mode?

I am not a fan of this.

Is this a "limited time" pre-order thing or can we pre-order it in September and still get the All Star stuff? Sorry Ive never pre-ordered a game before so I really dont know how this stuff works.

I think personally it should just come with a code upon purchase inside of the game case...reward people for buying the game period, not just for preordering a game, just another one of my 2 cents on the matter again. I'm waiting for the demo or at least until I hear a good amount of details of the game before I reserve...9 times out of 10 I'll purchase the game unless that other company blows the doors off with there title.

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

A good question would be this.

Since the Rookie Game is going to be either DLC or exclusively the add-on portion, will it be taken out of association mode? I mean we already have it now so will we lose it?

If so, 2K I lost respect for you

im glad they brought this back

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

It's "add-on" content, not DLC. No additional cost and you can have it by a simple $5 pre-order at multiple retailers.

But everyone can't pre-order the game so how exactly is it a form of Thank You to the fans. Come on now I know it is your job to protect your company but that is just a bad way to thank anyone.

I think it's a great addition and a smart business move to create a preorder incentive so kudos on that front 2K. However, if this isn't included in the PC version pre-orders as well then that is a huge disappointment. I've been playing NBA2K on the PC ever since 2K9, and I don't see myself moving away from the PC modding community anytime soon. So if 2K forgot about their loyal PC fanbase, and didn't include the All Star weekend add on for the PC version that is extremely upsetting to me. Hopefully it is in the PC version, and just not included in the press release. Though I highly doubt that is the case....

You have to preorder to get this?
That is beyond stupid.

You have to remember the business side of game development, and marketing. Creating incentives to make people want to preorder a game is just the nature of the beast. In a perfect world would this be on every copy of the game from day 1? Sure, but this is the new age of gaming...

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

I don't see the issue. The first press of the game is probably going to have the code in it...I doubt you're actually going to have to preorder it. If you buy on day one, you'll probably get the same thing.

Which, then, begs the question, why not just preorder it if you know you're going to buy it on day one?

Practically EVERY major game, if not every major game offers some sort of pre-order bonus these days. Battlefield, Madden, Max Payne, Batman, Call of Duty, etc. etc. etc. Hell some have location-specific preorder content. Where's the outrage over those? This has become a fairly standard practice nowadays. It's incentive for getting people to preorder. But you feel they should be giving some sort of "thank you for purchasing the game" to fans? When the game already offers BY FAR more default content than any other sports game? Give me a break. I really don't get why this game is held to some ridiculously high standard by some.
