    Improve All Star Weekend

    After all this time of 2K being on top, the one thing I feel is still lacking is presentation and the actual mechanisms of the all star weekend events (dunk and 3pt). They tried the guitar hero thing for the dunk contest and that wasn't too great. Now it's the 2 button timing but it just doesn't work. I don't feel like I want to participate. Same with the 3, it's not there.

    Then I was thinking on all the basketball games I've played over the years and if ANYBODY has ever gotten it right and I went back to the Live 05 years.



    For its time, everything from presentation (each player, the lights, the judges, commentary) to the actual mechanisms to perform a dunk feel right. And it feels like you have so much more control as to what you're doing.

    It was also its own game mode. You wanted to play your friends in this mode just to show off the dunks. 2K could implement this into online play too.

    Can't 2K do something similar to this?

    I agree. The 3 point contest still has Steve Kerr commentating and doesn't even have the countdown on the shot clock.
    No cool introductions or atmosphere.

    Countdown also starts before the players are set by the racks. 2K really needs to step it up here. The rising stars challenge still has generic jerseys.
    Embarrassing really.

    There are no instructions for the 3 point contest and the meter is just barebones.
    They've managed to make the whole event boring... NBA live did this great 10 years ago. What's the problem?

      This. I just made it to all star weekend and they said I was invited to the dunk contest, I thought automatic skip for me. The 05 live on was very very fake, but it was fun and challenging. I mean sim in a Dunk contest isn't fun because they're aren't great dunks anymore. Idk when the last time I was hyped for one, Nate Robinson? Less sim more arcade for the dunk contest.

        Wow. This was done with love. The presentation and contextual lines matched perfectly. We even have EJ and Kenny for 2K now.

            I don't even care if the animations blend properly. Just stop the Guitar Hero stuff..

                  Heh. Just saying that 2K has all the talent and experience available to do an all star presentation that meets or exceeds Live 06.

                      I was amazed Kenny when talked about ducking your head to not hit the backboard like he was actually commenting on the difficulty of real players dunking real dunks. It's the difference between aiming for authenticity vs. ... Guitar Hero?

                        NBA live's dunk contest was a lot of fun and felt very interactive.

                          Man made me reminisce, used to play the hell out of these dunk contests. LOL re-watching was so incredibly fake but still so much fun. Loved the slow-mo aspect as you were about to finish the dunk. Was so good, 2k should def work on this. I dont even mess with the all star weekend cuz of how bland it is
