I wouldn't read into it too much. Last year when the special edition Kobe versions were announced people were speculating that there would be additional Kobe centric Laker teams and perhaps even a Kobe mode similar to the Jordan Challenge and neither one of those theories came to fruition.

Maybe it'll be different this year but I wouldn't get hopes up. I'm taking this at face value and if it turns into something more great.

They definitely only cares about money. This is the problem with zero competency.

2K is getting even richer with this "VC" thing. Nice business.

I'm not going to buy 2k18. For what? More cap attributes, problems because they don't separate online/offline modes. Gameplay feels slow and weird on My Career. No different body types etc

$150??? Did I miss the presser announcing that 2K had hired Lavar Ball on their marketing staff?

Just my own personal take, but I thought his press release comments were just a broad means of saying, "I'm looking forward to using my virtual self in 2K and doing the stuff I used to do".

“I want to thank NBA 2K for their continuous support of my basketball and broadcast career,” O’Neal. “I’m excited to be on the cover of the NBA 2K18 Legend Edition and I hope my fans have a blast playing it up big man style and re-creating my most legendary in-game moments!”

What a generic looking cover. That has to be one of the worst sports covers of any sports game I've ever seen. My brother is a graphic designer and could literally do a better job in like 20 minutes. I actually don't really care how cover looks, but 2k should put some effort into it.

On anoTher note: I'm glad Shaq is on the cover. Hopefully he'll get a big upgrade on his player model. 2k17 Shaq looked horrible.

I just hope that there were lessons learned from 2k17s early launch. Including the way they released info for the game. Last year was brutal. For me though 2K always bounces back hard. I wasn't a huge fan of 2K14 and 2K15 hit every problem point for me. 2K17 had been a mess up until about a month or so I'm optimistic about 2K18.

2k, playboy, I'm giving you $60, + Tax, nothing more.

Those extra "editions" year in and year out, have never been worth it

[SavoyPrime]

I'm more interested in them getting the game back to the 2K11 glory days... >_>
