NBA 2K18 Features Shaquille O'Neal on the Cover of Legend Edition, Ships September 15

I hope the older version of Kobe is in the game without having to unlock him through MyTeam. 2kSports was very slick when they sold the Kobe Edition with NBA 2k17 and made it seem like he was in the game.

Think the same thing was said on the Kobe edition and it was confirmed that not a new mode, just taken out of context

Yeah it was sad they only had the "frobe" Kobe. I was thinking we'd at least get a team of him and Gasol.

It's crazy though to read this, and know with 100% certainty that I'm not going to pre-order the game for the first time ever.

Exactly. The only way I would buy 2K18 is...

1. Read 2 weeks of impressions on OS. I'm a proud Amazon Prime member.

2. Watch and/or read reviews from professional reviewers day of release.

I'm not pre-ordering NBA 2K18 for the first time since NBA 2K11. I just can't. I am shocked about the $150 price tag for the Legend Edition Gold. Never ceases to amaze me. I'm still pondering if I should get Injustice 2 Ultimate Edition. I just don't get the prices.

All in all, I love the art and the Shaq covers. I thought the ad was hilarious. I'm happy for Shaq.

lets hope that Shaq actually looks like Shaq and not some truck driver.

I honestly suggest people wait until January to purchase 2K18. That'll give us all enough time for the people who pre-ordered to tell us all about the game's persistent flaws, and get through 4 or so patches.

But I also suggest:

1. Ignore "professional" reviews. They don't know basketball. They won't know settings, or percentages, or body types, or freelance, or anything. The worst thing you could do is hang your hat on these reviews.

2. Ignore Twitter. I don't feel I need to explain this.

3. Don't expect a significant change from 2K17. We may get it, but I wouldn't bet any real money on it.

that is because they put the studio shaqs face on the playing shaqs face, don't know why they did that. It was fine before that

I also have to remind all of you complaining about "the game" being $150...... that's NOT the price of 2k18. The GAME is $60. If you want to shell out extra for some VC and Shaq accessories, that's 100% optional.

Who's complaining about the price? Most are just in shock at the incredibly high price tag. Why would someone complain about something they can avoid?

$150 is insane. That's not a complaint, most of us are just bewildered.
