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

[infam0us]

If you are going to do something as dumb as this might as well ad on the Haier shooting challenge and the skills challenge. Make it seem like you are actually bringing something new to the table and not recycling stuff.

“The NBA All-Star package is our way saying ‘thank you’ to fans for their ongoing love of the NBA 2K series,” said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports.

Thanks a lot...

I think people cry just to hear themselves cry. I couple of points:

1. This is a PREORDER campaign. This isn't a way to squeeze $5 EXTRA from anyone. You still spend the same money. The only difference is that you pre-order it or don't.

2. The old 2K street mode was taken out because it was crap.

3. As stated, you can pre-order from many places and not just Amazon. If you're not that excited about getting the game on release, then I don't see how missing out on a sub-mode is much of a big deal. If you're THAT much of a fan, buy the game sooner. Same money.

4. I don't think anyone would really consider this a "big" announcement from a game standpoint. So getting your hopes up at THIS point was kind of silly. Everything is supposedly a "big" announcement. I bet Ronnie2K was the one calling this a "big" announcement. Typical. When will you folks learn that the dude EVERYTHING a big announcement. It's E3 season. Hell they consider cover athlete announcements as "big". Give me a break. The day I buy a game because of the cover is the day they find the Fountain of Youth and made me 6 years old again.

Just saying.

1. True, but the fact that they got our hopes up for this is what is making everyone mad. Had they not made an announcement about this and made us speculate what it could be, we would love this feature.

2. That's an opinion. I loved it and knew many people that did too.

3. I agree.

4. Yeah, maybe we shouldn't have gotten our hopes up, but how could we not? We haven't heard anything from 2K13 yet, so we were starving for info. True 2K fans were waiting long and hard for this announcement. You can say we shouldn't have because blah blah blah, but true fans will get their hopes up for an announcement about a game in which we haven't heard one thing about yet.

I'd be really surprised if this was fully integrated into 2k13 rather than a standalone add-on.

I just went to Gamestop website and they too have the NBA AllStar weekend add-on if you pre-order so it's not Amazon.

Really?

In the other topic about the announcement about their big announcement everyone where saying they wheren't expecting much and now you're saying how could we not gotten our hopes up?

I think it's a pretty decent announcement 4 or 5 months before release date. Even though I for myself coudn't care less.
