So if 2K forgot about their loyal PC fanbase, and didn't include the All Star weekend add on for the PC version that is extremely upsetting to me. Hopefully it is in the PC version, and just not included in the press release. Though I highly doubt that is the case....

they seem to focus on their biggest fan bases when it comes to DLC. consoles

i cant agree seeing has how 2k12 has alot less modes/options than 2k11. THey are just bringing old modes back as preorder bonus.

Oh - thx for the clarification. And I'd agree with you that it's not much of a thank you, it's just incentive to preorder

In short, I get the soldier's gripe and hopefully there will be an answer. But the rest of the whiners? Really? Do you REALLY have a problem with this or are you just complaining just to say something? This is all just so ridiculous.

Why is this a preorder bonus. lmao the allstar weekend is PART of the NBA experience. How can you call 2k the best NBA sim when this type of thing is treated as DLC? 2k is making Live become more of an option now than before. smh

“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. “This content provides a ton of depth and value to our fans, and it’s just the beginning of a lot of big news about NBA® 2K13.”

This is the part I take exception to.
Don't insult my intelligence by telling me this is a "thank you".
If it were a thank you everyone would get it whenever and wherever they purchased it from.

As a former "mom and pop" video game store owner stuff like this baffles me. No wonder these stores are all disappearing.
