The cover is bland but I don't play covers I play the disc in the package.

With all due respect to 2K, I don't like this cover. It's too bland and generic with the three of them on the cover.

It would be a much better cover if they weren't all going up for a dunk. It's all the same, repetitive action in the three of them. It would be a more cohesive and creative cover if the three were blended together where maybe Griffin was going up for the dunk, Rose was dishing a no look pass to the right, and Durant was talking a jumpshot (putting Griffin in the middle, Rose on the right dishing a no look, and Durant taking a shot on the left and away from the center.)

Blend those together with an effect from the bottom center and you would have a cover that has an element of action.

It make sense to put those guys on the cover because they are all fan favorites. I would have been nice if they did 3 separate covers of the teams big 3. Rose, Deng, Noah - KD, Westbrook, Harden - LBJ, D-Wade, CB4

It's really sad when you have a large community of people that are doing a way better job of supporting a game for free (sliders, rosters, and in this case, game covers) than the people that are actually getting paid to do it.

You make a cover to sell games. The guys that are on the cover are all liked across the country/world. Kobe had to rehabilitate his image for years before 2k10. Was he deserving before that, of course. But that charge hurt his image. Tiger is the same case as well. Lebron's image is still in the crappers for the most part (his own doing). He won a ring, but a lot of people give credit to the refs and the others don't care that he won in regards to his image, they still dislike him. It's going to take years before I think people would be comfortable buying a product solely marketed by him outside of shoes. I know some people might comment that they would buy it, but trust me there are 15 to 20 people who wouldn't for everyone one of you that would.

2k did a decent job by picking good/great players with marketable images for this year's covers. No one is spewing hate for their product or the cover athletes which is exactly what you want. Lebron would over shadow their game and make it a debate over whether people will buy it or boycott the game based on the cover alone. I personally wanted to see an original Dream Team cover or a cover of Durant, Love and Kyrie, but I'm sure the market size in Minnesota and Cleveland made Chicago and L.A. better options.

I wish they could've done something different with that picture

Too many clashing colors, red on red, teal on red with an orange like floor, Rose's leg looks like he went to bionic man surgery

Like the choices, not sure of the pic

That's a joke that lebron isn't on the cover. He just posted one of the eat seasons in recent history. MVP. Finals MVP on the championship team. Best player in the league and no love.

Glad we can finally unveil the cover to everyone!

We'll be talking about more details soon.

Yall need to quit

Maybe LeBron asked for too much

You know like Barkley and Reggie Miller did

Did you even stop to consider that? You have no idea what the guys stipulations are

Are we getting all three on one cover or are we given the option we had last year in choosing our respective cover athlete?

lol some of you are going to criticize every little thing regardless. The game has sold millions the past few years and it's not because of the cover, because every year there are people that have issues with the cover. I'm hoping there'll be a more dynamic looking cover myself but I don't think people are plopping down $60 primarily because there's a pretty picture on a box. And there isn't a sports game out there where it's respective community isn't doing a more thorough job with rosters, sliders, etc. Hell even mainstream games like Skyrim that are held in high regard have people modding it and being critical of the developer efforts. Not saying 2K can't do a better job, but imo it's not that serious. Seems it's casually dismissed that they have probably the most content rich sports title of this generation - no, they need to make sure they nail the cover too. Again, I'm not entirely disagreeing with you. But some perspective, please.

Nice to see KD.

I like the cover, instead of one athlete they chose 3, way to be different but i just wanna know how come LeBron James still hasn't been on an NBA video game cover. I know now it may be difficult because LeBron haters probably wont buy it, but even in his cavalier days i think he deserved to be on a video game cover. It baffles me a player of great talent like his and still no one offers him to be on a video game cover. Maybe he doesn't want to be on the cover of a basketball game but i doubt that.
