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

[BezO]

Man, very dissapointed. I've waited a long time for this, but pre-ordering games, especially online, is out of my comfort zone. No all-star weekend festivities for me. In fact, I may push my normal day one purchase back a month in protest. Maybe I'll be able to find a used copy.

If it's not part of associations, I could care less any way.

LOL at showing appreciation. We're the customer. They make money off of us. The appreciation comes from the other direction.

Fail 2K!

"@pastapadre With no All-Star Weekend for the PC version of NBA 2K13 even more clear that its just an add-on and no integration in Association/My Player."

If you been reading post on here for the passed year they don't put much money into this game at all which is why their servers suck so much and the reason why they always taken certain things out this year. Online associations was added and My player team up and crew was taken out.

Again, I'm not sure how you're adding these things up. I must ask if you read the link provided or at least the excerpt quoted, for each seemed to explain things quite clearly. To break it down simply, 2K began an overhaul of their servers last year (ridding of a Dreamcast-era system they'd been modifying over and over since 2000). As a result of the limited production cycle that comes along with sports games, they had to lighten the online load to accommodate the development of the new system. The implementation of the new server struggled enough without attempting to run hundreds or thousands of 10-person games at once.

As such, it doesn't seem it was a matter of not spending money and it doesn't seem it was a matter of trading one feature out for another. Rather, it seems Crew was a complicated feature to attempt to get off the ground in limited time provided on the heels of a complete server overhaul.

Fuc.k it, I have over 8 gigabytes of mods in my NBA2K12 folder so all that I have on my PC from 2Ksports is their animations, which were also improved by michaelluvtz. I'd pay 60 $ to get full updates. Charge us, the PC gamers, normal 60$ price. I'm willing to pay it. And don't tell me 'buy console'. How in the world can I buy 300-400 $(yes, that much) console when I have no job, am high-school student going into my last year and my parents aren't the richest people? I barely save enough money for FIFA, Football Manager and NBA 2K games every year. And that is about 140 $ in two weeks. I know my parents would be pissed if they knew I spend that amount of money on games, I have to tell them I downloaded them form the web.

All star mode ain't the thing you play like twice a year with a friend when you're too drunk to play the actual game?

I understand you're not happy though, but you're kinda overreacting here.

Right. Playing 2K12 on PC is so much better because of mods. I mean, the game is still broken in a lot of ways because of bad programming by 2K, but it's almost unbearable on my PS3.

It's a shame that we even have to go in and mod stuff though. Why can't 2K get it right? We have guys sitting at home on their computers who can make better features and gameplay than dudes whose JOB it is to do this? It's a joke.

No.. I don't drink. My grandfather died from alcohol, had cancer on liver, so I said no to that.
That is the thing I want to play whenever I see great dunk ingame(like Greens windmill alleyoop). It's not just about All-Star Weekend. They have been treating us, PC gamers, like crap the past 2 years(the time I've been playing the 2Ksports games). Patch is always around Easter, while you console guys get like 5-6 patches until then.
