All-Star Weekend Features List

[Andrew]

As revealed by online store listings such as this one.

Four Additional Game Modes: Bundled together for the first time ever, players can participate in an all-new Sprite Slam Dunk Contest, Three-Point Contest, the Rising Stars Challenge game and the NBA All-Star Game.

Sprite Slam Dunk Contest: New, immersive, pick-up-and-play mechanics give gamers more control than ever before. Take to the air and unleash a series of button combinations to complete devastating slam dunks.

Past vs. Present: Who is the better dunker - Michael Jordan or Blake Griffin? Who is the more cold-blooded shooter from outside - Derrick Rose or Kevin Durant? These questions will be answered in the NBA 2K13 All-Star downloadable content. Match the stars of today against the game's greatest legends in both the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest and Three-Point Contest modes.

Rising Stars Challenge: Compete with the future stars of the NBA in this mode featuring NBA rookies and sophomores.

All-Star Game: It's East vs. West in this midseason battle for conference bragging rights.

Dynamic Updates: Rosters for the Rising Stars Challenge and All-Star Game will dynamically update to the 2013 rosters once the participants are announced.

Did they seriously put Derrick Rose vs Kevin Durant as a past vs present 3 point shooting contest example?

[benji]

Maybe you missed it, but Derrick Rose no longer plays in the NBA.

[Patr1ck]

For a year, maybe.

[The X]

Maybe you missed it, but Derrick Rose no longer plays in the NBA.

[Cruzerr]

Well played, Benji. Well played.

[Andrew]

Didn't even think of that. Seems they forgot their train of thought halfway through that blurb.

I'm quoting from LD2k, although I'm not sure if this was already clear and I'm the one that didn't get it:

To clarify - there have been no announcements regarding the NBA 2K13 All-Star add-on downloadable content to be released via DLC.

This is ONLY a pre-order bonus.

If you're looking to purchase NBA 2K13, regular or Dynasty Edition, you can find any and all information here - http://2kgam.es/BuyNBA2K13

Hope this helps.

So the All-Star Weekend is only for blind sheep who purchase the game BEFORE any reviews come out. It won't be released as a paid-for DLC.

FUCK YOU.

BURN THEM BEFORE THEY LAYS EGGS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seems like something that should be made available as paid DLC some time after the game's release, similar to what Bethesda/Obsidian did with some pre-order add-on packs for Fallout: New Vegas. Then again, the complete All-Star Weekend is a feature that should be part of the base game to begin with.
