I ordered the $100 Kobe Gold Edition last year thinking it would feature a game mode reliving Kobe's greatest moments. Nope, I played 40 bucks more for a tiny poster, some cards and extra VC I never used. I traded in the game a few months later but kept the game case.

That's why I ended up going with the standard edition. The Kobe cover was cool but it was pointless to spend the extra money on content and extras that I would have no use for. And I don't know about anyone else but I don't display my game cases so what's on the front cover is meaningless. I actually forgot what the cover for 2k17 looks like. Took me a second to remember paul George was on the cover.

I think mine was anthony davis but not sure since the case was tucked away since september.

Also, I pity the fool who pays anything more than $60 for this game.

It will likely be exactly what you see in the first post and no additional modes.

Good for Shaq, but that price ... wow. 2K will not be the only game in town this season and, after last year's debacle (and continuing issues with the shooting tweaks they keep doing), 2K has to re-earn my money. There's no more benefit of the doubt.

I fully intend to sit out 2K18 unless they really step up their game and fix the multiple legacy issues, as well as the current issues, that 2K17 glaringly showed.

There's plenty of classic rosters and draft classes on the PC to allow me to relive just about any of Shaq's glory years, and I fully intend to do that this upcoming 2K season.

0% chance I get this game prior to the NBA season actually starting. I did that last year and barely played it for a month after the first weekend.

They're just using that extra 6 weeks before the season starts as a beta test for the game anyway.


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.

I was starting to plan out setting aside money the other day for 2K18 (along with WWE 2K18) and it looks like what I was planning is out the window since I got the middle tier last year but this year, that's the price of last year's highest. Right now, I know that I'm debating it but I already know that at some point per 2K history, some announcement is going to entice me and I'm going to bite.

I was getting the game regardless, I feel one year of taking a step back doesn't erase the fun I've had over the years. One of my main thoughts right now is that with that much VC coming with the pre-order, either you're going to be able to basically near max your myplayer out of the starting attributes or the things you purchase with VC have gotten really, really expensive. Packs/boxes for MyTeam are already majorly expensive so that probably won't fluctuate too much but I really, really hope these things don't get really out of control.

You forgot about the magnet. That gigantic thing holds up my kids crappy, errr, awesome artwork on the fridge.


Can anyone tell me what a "20 Weekly MyTeam Pack" is? Is that just a standard MyTeam box, or am I bananas taking it literally by expecting a pack weekly for 20 weeks? Oh My!, maybe it's 20 packs weekly for the duration of the game? Very confused by the wording. If someone could help I'd greatly appreciate it.
