Will they ever find their way to allstar weekend because as a stand alone they are kind of boring but add the allstar weekend element to it and it would get more play plus it would also add more to the association. As of now its just taking up disk space that could have been used towards something else. But hey thats just my opinion

Re: 3point contest and slam dunk contest
Both of these features have always been pretty useless to me, i think the last time i played it was 2k8 and that was after pulling an all nighter with my friends and just trying to close out the night. IMO, the only real way to get people intrigued about these modes would be to make legends locked until you beat a challenge to get them. Like maybe making 25 or more 3's out of 30 to unlock Larry, or beating Dominique Wilkins in the dunk contest to unlock him.
Until something like that, the game modes remain to be pointless...for me and the people i know who play anywaysComment

Re: 3point contest and slam dunk contest
As it stands now, having the license over a series of days doesn't make a whole lot of sense, though I've certainly been wrong before. From a logical standpoint, 2K still runs an official All-Star game and their dunk contest is sponsored by Sprite (like real life). If there was a weekend license issue, one would think that'd include the All-Star game. Even if it was an "All-Star Saturday" license, would it really be stated as such that 2K could copy the entire process except throwing an NBA arena around it? Because truly, that's about the only thing missing.
I always figured 2K introduced their dunk and three point contests in an outdoor setting to differentiate themselves from Live's dunk contest at the time. Since its inception, I'm just not sure 2K has ever felt it was worth updating. Though truly, I think they could definitely throw these contests into a real locale (NBA arena) now without looking like copy cats. A real All-Star Saturday is authentic.Comment

Re: 3point contest and slam dunk contest
Since we're talking about Blacktop mode, I'd like to see some sort of knockout tournament for the pickup games (1 vs. 1, 2 vs. 2, 3 vs. 3, etc.). I love Blacktop mode. Whenever I feel like playing an arcadey type game, it's Blacktop.Comment

Well i would like a link as well to confirm but i think there is some truth to it. I mean dont you think 2k would have added all star weekend already if they could? Espesially this year with all the improvements to the Association mode."on hoping there is a PSN flash sale before Valentine's Day"

Re: 3point contest and slam dunk contest
Honestly though, I think altering the locale to something authentic would up the replay value, as simple a move as that may seem to be. I also wouldn't mind little changes like allowing created players to enter and a choice of any of a teams' given jerseys (thus giving Dominique Wilkins his correct Hawks jersey in '10 rather than the current version). Speaking of Dominique, wouldn't 2K11 have been the perfect year to step up and move the dunk competition indoors?
So yeah, maybe it is a little fishy, which is why I really wouldn't mind some kind of real clarification on the matter.Comment

Re: 3point contest and slam dunk contest
Even if all we get is blacktop, why can't they just keep it as known as "blacktop" and make it indoors and include it in the regular season?Comment

Re: 3point contest and slam dunk contest
Considering all the improvements I've seen this year in Association, it would have been a cherry on top, yeah? I kind of agree with you in that respect. Otherwise, I truly think this was something created and touted in 2K7 and sort of thrown on the back burner since. A mindset of, "Well, we put a lot into the dunk contest a few years ago and it didn't go over that well with the consumers. We've got other things to bust out instead."
