NBA 2K13 Features Sprite Slam Dunk Contest, 3 Point Contest, Rising Stars Challenge

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

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.

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

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.

Right on. I'm with you 100%

Not trying to step on anyone's toes, but all the crying is out of hand. The game is $60 whether you preorder it or not. ASW is FREE for those people who preorder it. How is that unfair? It's a BUSINESS. 2k/VC is here to deliver us a great product for a PROFIT. For the first time we have a real incentive to preorder the game for the same price it would cost any other year. If you don't think the ASW is enough for you to put down $5 of the same amount you would spend later, then so be it. But please don't ask for the feature for free later. You're obviously not the consumer they are trying to cater to with this preorder bonus. I'm not trying to offend anyone, but be realistic about things.

It's not the same mode as blacktop slam dunk and 3pt shootout from what I can see thus far. Plus I'm sure more info and a dev insight will follow closer to release date. WE ALL KNOW 2K is the premier basketball sim experience, but I also know it can never be perfect. I understand online players are hot about that issue and I'm certain they will fix it this year. If not, still no other choice for me other than 2k. They're not perfect, but they're the best!!

As expected the announcement = Facepalm

Not going to preorder the game for this crap. I want the online/online association fixed, better roster updates, and BETTER GAMEPLAY

nothing but another cheap tactic by 2ksports, this should be free

anyone else notice the blurb you can have a dunk contest/3pt shootout with current and classic players? Maybe all those guys from the legends showcase will be in the main game this year to put on current rosters, that would be badass.

You can already do that in 2k12

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.

Thanks man. It will be great to have all star festivities back in 2k basketball. Will the legends dlc for 2k12 work with 2k13 or will it be revamped for 2k13? Thanks again! It would be fun to use the legends in all star festivities.

I think that what sometimes kills sports game no matter what the title, publisher, or platform it's on are the teasers. I think we've become spoiled with the announcements leading up to the release that by the time the game is launched we'll feel let down because something doesn't work correctly, or needs a patch to fix which breaks something else in the process. Should publishers hold off on the news until maybe the month before the release date to help this?

This is another cover up , just like last years Legend Mode

Why do we have to pre-oreder to get some stuff thats not a special feature, it's apart of the damn game! next thing you know , 2k going to have us pre order to get online access for there terrible servers.

I like how they make it seems like they care about the customers by giving us something that's a dlc. Which means it wont be in online association or my player because not everyone will have it.

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

Will the add-on ever be available to those who do not pre-order?

Also, when may the E3 live stream will be taking place?
