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

Re: NBA 2K18 Features Shaquille O'Neal on the Cover of Legend Edition, Ships Septembe

As long as the standard version is still regular price, no one should even care about the $150 dollar version. I'm sure 2K has a lot of data that led them to believe that there is a market for it. We'll know for sure when we see the prices for the 2K19 special versions.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

I honestly don't think 2 weeks of reviews are enough. They can drop a Major patch right when you pick it up and it'll turn into NBA 2k18.5.


I'm waiting a few months.

Charles Barkley just said on NBA TNT that he'll do video games (I'm guessing he means NBA 2K) with the rest of the TNT crew when 2K Sports pay the retired players?

I want to take advantage of my Amazon Prime pre-order bonus. I'm not buying this game at full price 2-week period on Amazon or not. I'm buying NBA Live 18 regardless how bad it is just to support it. It's a 90% chance I will not buy or play 2K18 because of my frustrations with 2K17. This game has to be a highly rated game across the board for me to consider. No more blindly buying this franchise. Too many mishaps with this one for me to support 2K18. I can't do it.

I'm glad I'm on PC which means I can likely find a steam key for something less than 60$/€ whatever currency...
I remember when 2k first came out for PC, i was so glad the price was just 30€. Now we're on par with EA/Ubisoft bull**** overpriced games...

Because we got half the features. Now that we have full featured game we should be and are priced the full retail 60 dollars.

Was it that way? Did we have less features on NBA 2k11 for example?

Older 2k's used to have less features (mostly bunch online modes cut off) . Now we have all game modes that consoles got. Only big downside about PC version is 2k's lack of care about cheating/hacking in online modes which make it less desirable vs consoles (also it leads to having too little online people in certain regions).

I can't wrap my mind around how they want 100 or 150 for a game that will probably be broken majority of its cycle.

Last year I brought the $100 edition for a game I barely played. Idk if I should this year would have to see what features are added. My main feature hopefully added is carry over saves. I don't think I'll purchase if this is not added.

Carrying over saves means carrying over VC so I guess that will never be an option.
