New Features?

Hi And Good Day NLSC Updaters and Forum people.. May I ask.. What's new on NBA 2k13? I was going to buy it at the end of the month.. What new features, Game Modes, improvements etc are there that NBA 2k12 doesn't have.. Is there really a All-Star weekend with the - Skill Challenge, 3-point Shoot-out, Rising Star Challenge and The most awaited Sprite Slamdunk Contest? Thank you Very much..

If your gonna buy the PC Version here are the differences in the Console Version that is also the new features for the game.
