Perfect? C'mon. If you liked/loved 12 fine but it was far from perfect.

"Players can experience a series of entertaining mini-games including shooting practice, free throw drills, a dribbling course, and autograph signing."

"and play through experiences of an NBA superstar including earning endorsements and fostering relationships with fellow NBA stars."

These are the quotes that I found most interesting. I wonder if any of these are in the full game as well, I'm fairly certain the dribbling course, shooting drills, etc. will be in there. But autograph signing would be a cool thing to have on the full game.
For instance, I wonder if on your phone you can sync your actual signature to the game so that when you have an autograph signing, your signature will actually show up in the game. THAT would be pretty sick.

And I'm wondering if you can get a few of endorsements and 'foster relationships with fellow NBA stars,' in the full game. Wondering if you can start a friendship (and lure somebody to your team like Wade and LeBron), or start a rivalry, the respectable one like Bird and Magic or a heated rivalry like Jordan and the Bad Boys.

That's sounds kinda dope

I hate to be "that guy" but this isn't appealing to me, not just because I do not have a smartphone or play games on Facebook, but because I don't want those stipulations preventing me from unlocking all of the content on the disc.

Keep the crazy things where you connect with NBA players off the court (which does sound kinda fun, but I don't want to go on another platform or have 2K post statuses to my Facebook to do it).

When you can't unlock the full game by playing through the full disc, though... I dunno, I hope there's a cheat code or some other way to unlock clothes and dunks and anything else they did not mention.

Doesn't look like it I'm afraid. Most stuff seems to only be released on iPhone and Android.
