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

I hope this means we get a better Shaq face scan. Those faces were terrible(excluding the studio Shaq)

A current player wont be on the standard cover ?

[FixEverything2k]

hopefully this means big man defense is better, strength matters, rebounding is better, and better post moves.

Waiting for clarification as to whether all editions can get past the title screen?

Legends Edition...huh. Does this mean that 2K will finally have legend players/teams tendencies and playbooks finally accurate along with the classic arenas that should have the filter (NBA2K12)??

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.

It's staggering how many people think they have to buy the most expensive version of the game.

I wouldn't bank on it. Last year Kobe was on the collectors edition with Paul George as the standard cover man. I don't think any of the new features or gameplay updates had anything to do with the players selected for the cover
