I want to pre-order the game. I went on gamestops website and they said it will be shipped random. Is there a way possible where we could choose?

Re: NBA 2K12 pre-order: will we be able to choose the cover?
nope. your best bet is probably to do a preorder at an actual store, then tell the clerk to give you the one you want
personally, i dont really care which cover i get, so im doing mine online -
Re: NBA 2K12 pre-order: will we be able to choose the cover?
My Q is in respect of the DLC teams that are supposedly offered for preorders (GS & SAC) ... amazon does not specify this nor does gamestop ... so, how can I know (I live in the caribbean) that I will get the offer if I preorder ? ... just in case, would they be offered as paid DLC further on for gamers that either preorder or not, dont receive them ? ... or would they be locked to everyone and enabled as one wins all the greatest challenges ?

Re: NBA 2K12 pre-order: will we be able to choose the cover?
From the latest dev insight:
" Bonus Gift with Purchase – The 1990-91 Warriors and 2001-02 Kings are only available to those who purchase their copy of NBA 2K12 early. This bonus content will be available in launch orders only, while supplies last."
it looks like the code will be included in the first run of games that are pressed up. maybe on a little paper insert on something. i dont think it matters where you buy from, just as long as you get a game from the initial batch.Comment

As petty as it seems, growing up in Southern California, I cannot fathom getting a cover with a Celtic on the cover. I mean you guys should've seen me over the whole 2k9 tragedy which was a current Celtic, especially one who had just beat an LA team in the Finals. I was ready to
I can cope with MJ again and if I have a choice I'll go with Magic but I ain't choosing nobody in Green that's for sure

Re: NBA 2K12 pre-order: will we be able to choose the cover?
This sounds correct. There was a pre-order deal in place when Dirt 3 was just released. I wasn't really interested in it, so I did not pre-order. However, I did purchase Dirt 3 on release day, and when I bought it from Game Stop, the employee told me about a code on my receipt that I could enter in order to unlock the aforementioned "pre-order" content. Truly seems like a similar case here.
With that said, I'm kind of worried about taking a chance. I don't want to be "pretty sure" this is the case. I'd want to know for a fact I could get the Warriors and Kings by just picking up the game quickly. As such, I think I'll pre-order, but I just want to pick up the game from a store on release day. Do I need to then pre-order in person (I've never pre-ordered a game before)? Or can I pre-order from Game Stop online and have it sent to my local store? I'm assuming I must go to the actual store and sign up for a pre-order, yes?Comment

I talked to one of the GS employees about this the other day and he mentioned that they'll be getting all 3 covers in, and as long as you have pre-ordered the game, you will get to choose which cover you want, provided it is still in stock.
Thankfully, the GS I go to is frequented by gamers who DON'T play sports games, so I shouldn't have to worry about a big crowd. When I went to the Madden 10 midnight release 2 years ago, there were maybe 20-30 people there. No midnight releases for any other sports games, and when I picked up games like NHL or MLB The Show, there were maybe 1-2 other guys there getting the same thing.
I feel for the guys that live in bigger cities; I imagine NY, BOS and LA are going to have some big crowds.Currently Playing:

When I pre-ordered L.A. Noire and it was promised to come with an extra detective case, that case was on a card inside the box where the manual is. Just had to scratch off that lotto-ticket-like coating with a penny or whatever, and the code was underneath. I imagine it may be the same way with this. Just a card that comes with your purchase that has a code on it, possibly scratch to reveal to guarantee no tampering.DALLAS 2011 MAVERICKS

Re: NBA 2K12 pre-order: will we be able to choose the cover?
Anybody know if this stuff is DLC, or will it just be a code we put in on the Enter Codes menu? If it's the latter, I wonder what'll stop people from just sharing the code?

Re: NBA 2K12 pre-order: will we be able to choose the cover?
I pre-ordered 2K's Topspin 4 to get the vintage Andre Agassi character.
1: Like VDusen said, the code was on the receipt Gamestop gave me when I picked the game up (not the one they gave me when I pre-ordered it).
2: The code only worked once, preventing me from sharing it with someone else. I didn't enter it in the codes menu; you had to enter it in the Playstation Store which was a good thing--my old PS3 died on me, and when I bought a new one I still had it saved under my username on my downloads. I could be wrong but if the code only works once after typing it in, and you had to enter it in a code page on the video game, then maybe I would have been out of luck (hence it being a good thing that I had to go through the PS Store to redeem it).
I hope that helps anyone that has questions.Comment

Does the preorder code apply only for gamestop preorders? I usually order mine from Amazon, so will I still get the Kings and Warriors if I go through Amazon?Comment
