I think it goes without saying that the all-star game is neither serious or important. It gives the developers a small window to work on the game and it gives the majority of teams in the game a chance to train the important but neglected areas of FT and stamina.
Griping about it is as ridiculous as the all-star game itself, which certainly follows the NBA all-star game's m.o.
Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.
