So the $99 version is the only version released early right?

Re: So the $99 version is the only version released early right?

I have bought the game for the last 10 years, how am I not supporting the product. And I wouldn't criticize them for ignoring sim players, MyLeague mode is great and it got updated, I would criticize them for making mistakes in replicating the fundamentals of the game, as I did with the 2k18, I think their goal should be to create the game that would simulate the basketball as close as possible, if that means catering to sim players that is ignoring them if they fail to do that, then yeah, I blame them for that

i bought the game since 1999, i dunno is 19>10? haha, im just messing around but that is a true fact though

my opinion on all that is catering to the sim crowd ruined the nba 2k league, they neglected the highest level of talent in the nba 2k community and what they needed to be nerfed and fixed, which lead to bad RNG gameplay in 2k18 that people dont wanna watch cause the meta ended up being 5 out selfish iso basketball, that most people do not find aesthetically pleasing to watch, shooting in 18 = RNG so it is no skill, ankle breaker hall of fame step back cheese was OP, stamina didnt drain enough, stamina boosts need to be removed from game, cheesers get like 200-400% on their stamina buying gatorade boosts, that stuff need to go, all that does is promote ball hogging selfish cancerous team play gameplay that no one wants to play, "cones" was never a problem in 2k until 2k18, and im shocked people in the 2k community degrading them selves to being a cone while some ball hog cheesed for 24 seconds of the shot clock

Maybe it's just me, but I still don't understand how is that catering to the sim community, if anything I, as i consider myself a sim player, wasn't happy with how the 2k18 played, many many issues. And the things you have mentioned, sound like the problem in general, regardless of the type of the player

i dont know if "sim" is the problem or not, i just know it seems like a lot of the "sim" people want contested shots in the game and i can not stand the badge dead-eye it rewards people for taking bad shots

Re: So the $99 version is the only version released early right?

Im getting the anniversary edition. If the standard came out at the same time, then I'd get that and buy the VC. I play mainly Pro am, and the ability to play the game that weekend is big for me. I play my LG, but not until tye season starts. I dont look at it as punishing the standard ed. buyers by giving it to them late. Its rewarding the Anniversary buyers by getting it to them early. There a difference.

But the weekend is big for me. Plus the VC is ok. And I dont play MY Team, but I might try it.

To each their own. I see why people wait. Its a legit point. But it doesnt dent my budget, so Im fine with paying the extra

Re: So the $99 version is the only version released early right?

I have the money and I will get it early because I'm horribly irresponsible with money...... but I'm not happy about it.

Damn you 2K for this. Damn you.

EDIT: I'm purely an offline player and will NEVER touch those ****ty bonuses..... but getting it on a Friday and having it all weekend is worth $40 to me. But I understand those who don't and I think 2K has done us all a little dirty here....

I'm getting the anniversary edition because my wallet tells me I can.

Anniversary edition for Xbox one x, and standard for PC.

I'm also picking up NBA Live and Spiderman on the same day!

Can't wait!

My wallet tells me I can as well but I am just not giving 40 bucks to get the game 4 days early. Maybe it's just my attitude towards money but it's not like I can't live without 2k, it's not like I don't have other stuff to do, i am not even sure I will be preordering at all, but if I will do it, waiting 4 days will be a piece of cake.

Re: So the $99 version is the only version released early right?

So I didn’t think this was a big deal at first but this is what got me .


It I want to play the game early . =99.99$
If I want my guy to be a 85 = 190k VC

The preorder only gives 100k VC . So If I want to play the game early and be an 85 I have to buy the 100$ edition AND turn around and buy more VC ? Wtf is that .

But I can’t buy the 59.99 edition and buy VC and play early . Which is what I would prefer :

I’m playing early but I’m not buying VC on top of paying for the 100$.

Wasn't there a 150$ edition last year or the year before? When it's all said and done it might cost about the same at launch to be an 85. If that's your thing.

I wish 2K would tell us the VC prices.

That's the way to do it....slow angry grind to 90. I hope they figured out a way to make the grind fun at least. Lives grind is actually fun.

I get that. I was just saying that I think this is more for that crowd than the 60$ crowd. 100$ seems like the middle ground. The people who bought the 150$ edition last year, I'm guessing, wouldn't see a big deal in spending 50$ more to get the MC player or MT squad up to what they'd like. Most 2K gamers I'm guessing stick with the 60$ edition.
