Are you serious? How is this even an announcement? They should've had the dunk contest and 3 point contest in 2k12.

Only for pre-order too? You really ****ed up.

Can't wait to see how many people that were bitching about wanting the All-Star announcement to be gameplay now find numerous ways to bitch about the gameplay we're going to be getting on Monday.

NFL rights might belong to EA since it was the NFL who wanted EA to have the rights in the first place. NFL let game makers bid and EA won. I remember that EA try to buy take-two interactive but i think that could of been a rumor but wouldn't be surprised if it was true cause EA would be the one to put other game makers out of business.

Exclusivity
In 2004, EA signed an exclusive license through 2009 with the NFL and the NFLPA to give the company the exclusive rights to use the NFL's teams, stadiums, and players in a video game.[29] The deal, reportedly worth $300 million and later extended to 2013,[1] has been widely criticized. This exclusive license prevents other official NFL video games. Some competitors, such as the Blitz: The League series, have elected to continue, seeking to distinguish themselves through innovative gameplay while others, such as the NFL 2K series, have ceased production. In 2007, 2K Sports released All Pro Football 2K8, which used former NFL stars.

It won't. It will be like Blacktop mode because PC gamers doesn't have this feature in NBA 2K13.

Every year, we all turn into sleuths.

Pretty cool that we all can derive information from 2K's announcements based on one specific item of note.

Spoiler

Very funny. Isn't it convenient that 2Pacs albums are selling better after his death. And that he chose to call himself Macchiavelli(after Italian writer Makkaveli, who wrote a book about faking a death and then published it a couple of years later. I even think - can't remember exactly- if he even showed up after that), oh and that there is another, or at least was, a singer with exact same voice, similar lyrics and everything. Anyway, tell me I'm insane but I DO believe he is alive and enjoying somewhere at Bahamas or Hawaii.

You know the commercial with the dude checking out a used car? The CARFAX commercial? 2k, show me the GAMEPLAY FAX. I don't care about anything else because if the gameplay is like 12 (slow passing, slow control response, idiotic computer AI assistance, horrible online play, canimations) I don't want it. I'll keep my
$65 until I rent it. Gimmicks
