i have some questions....does this mean ea will NOT have this in their game? what classic players will be available to play in this add-on? how about some classic all-star teams?....maybe as dlc?

I really, really don't think All-Star Weekend has ever been subject to exclusive licensing. I believe that's just something folks made up over time. 2K's had 90% of All-Star Weekend accounted for for years, only they chose to run the dunk contest and 3pt. shootout outdoors. As such, if Live wanted, I bet they could have their own All-Star Weekend. However, I feel like they dropped that mode (the dunk contest anyway) a few years ago and I'm doubting that was a priority for their comeback year.

I don't know the answer to the rest of your questions. I'm assuming the classic players available will largely be similar to what was available to users in 2K12 and its street mode DLC.

And my personal opinion says classic All-Star teams won't be happening.

Video from dunk contest makes it look like a basketball version of DDR lol.

Do you know if you have to pre-order the game through Amazon or can you just pre-order the game else where and still the all-star package?

I think Ronnie post a like on facebook there will be multiple places to pre-order but it will most likely be big chain stores, like bestbuy etc....

So.........in other words, we still won't have a full ASW weekend in association? Got it.
