Finally 2K has the full All-Star package. Now lets hope the content stays after you download it unlike the Sacramento/Golden State DLC.

Nice !

Considering that it's only May. This is great news.

I loved this mode back in Live 2005.

I hope EU and UK get a similar deal. On the Amazon UK site it doesn't have this on the 2k13 page.

I hope you can pre-order through gamestop and get it. I'm not quite fond of pre-ordering online. It is great news though, but I think it should have been in the game for quite sometime now.

Yeah, but it got tiresome re-entering the code. Not a big deal but I remember some said that re-entering the code didn't fix it for them.

Will we be able to use this in association mode ?

# 8 WaddupCouzin @ 05/30/12 10:01 AM

On the psp, but not the Vita?

# 9 navyboy09 @ 05/30/12 10:06 AM

Not trying to be a ***** but we shouldn't have to pre-order the game just to get the allstar weekend. Stuff like that should automatic be in the game b/c it apart of the game.

Y'all act like they get more money out of you by reserving a game! What's the big deal of a $5 deposit off the purchase price of a game you're going to buy?

Excellent point.

# 13 Saijahn @ 05/30/12 10:26 AM

Will be it's own mode? Why not implement it into Association and My Player? Sorry this seems a bit suspect until further notice.

# 14 ultralow36 @ 05/30/12 10:30 AM

WoW now I have to pre order to get a piece of the h
Game classic this game and others this Gen have been hacked to pieces and sold over the internet ....when will we get one complete game......

# 15 iLLosophy @ 05/30/12 10:31 AM

Awesome....they are re-adding features from previous 2K games that were taken out for no apparent reason. I'm so stoked.

First major announcement about 2k13 is something that required 0% innovation. Just more reason to NOT pre-order this game.

# 16 letsgocavs99 @ 05/30/12 10:32 AM

It better be in my player and association mode because I rememer I had Live 05 and the dunk contest/3pt contet were fun and I'd always do them in the middle of the season.

I dont care about preordering i just want to know if the mode going be in my player and Association mode

# 18 coolcras7 @ 05/30/12 10:34 AM

Nice I am sure even if you don't preorder they will eventually release the code to everyone.

Thats not the point im trying to make...what im saying is i shouldn't have to do anything extra to get stuff that should already be in the game. Especially when it was in the game at one point then taken out now a big annoucement like it's something new.

# 20 ccoaxum @ 05/30/12 10:40 AM

ok yea this should automatic be on the game, yea 5 dollars is nothing but what happens if you don't get a chance to pre-order it, what now you got to pay a certain amount of money off the game market for the dlc like the other mode on 2k12..smh you can wonder all you want but i knw this mode is not going to be connected with the other modes which is going suck..and in my opinion their all star mode was not as cool as the other opponents one when they have it on their game. But its nice they trying to put it back on the game!
