Granted, it's only May. So like you said we still have lots of time left for them to announce more things. Personally, I don't care about it either way, but I feel it (ASW) should already be in the game. It probably already is. The code they give you will just unlock it. (On disk DLC)

So, I for one understand the displeasure people are showing towards this announcement because they don't feel like it should be an add-on product or a product that right now seems to be pre-order content only... it benefits only those who choose to pre-order but the majority of buyers probably don't pre-order the game at all, they just walk into there local gamestop/walmart/bestbuy or where have you and just buy the game, on the otherside I understand this is a business move for 2K that can up there sales. I am sure 2K will release this add-on anyway via dlc or game code but there is that chance that if you don't pre-order you miss out, but why can't the consumer have any complaints about this? Like the saying goes "If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything." Just a thought.

Again, you don't have to pre-order. If this is something that you would want if you bought the game, then pre-order it and if after hearing about the game you decide that you don't want it, then cancel the order. I just don't see why that part is an issue. As far as people not knowing about it, I'm pretty sure that many people are going to be seeing commercials about this, just like with every other game and their pre-order bonuses.

I understand where you are coming from, but I think most people's displeasure comes from they don't believe this should be an add-on content point blank period and it should come already packaged with the game. I said it earlier that I believe there should be a code that comes already with the game like on the back of the game booklet or something. Who knows though, I know I personally will be getting the game more than likely, I just think the pre-order incentive is pretty silly either way you look at it, just reward people who buy the game in general pre-order or not, that way if they don't pre-order they don't miss out on content.

Not surprised that its not in PC version, PC gets excluded in pre-orders and thats why pre-order blows.

Really Why do they hate PC gamers so much? Is it because they pay less for the game?

[VDusen04]

Will the All-Star Weekend's absence on the PC mean there's an increased chance the ASW will not be a feature that can be integrated into Associations, Seasons, and My Player? I feel as though a feature capable of such integration would be uniform in its appearance on all platforms.

I thought that too. Very unlikely it's integrated in association mode or Myplayer since everyone won't have it.
