LeBron James is the Cover Athlete For NBA 2K14, King James Bonus Pack Revealed

I guess I'll be pre-ordering, if only to get the 10,000 VC.

And a collective groan can be heard from Pacers fans from around the world.












This is a joke...please don't ban me.

Ehh I'm thinking it should have been Tim Duncan

I'm probably going to pass on this, unless 'unbiased' reviews tell me otherwise.

I'm skeptical on 'first run' new gen titles.

[Phreezy P]

So I guess the big secret is LeBron is the real 2k insider? Explains the skewed ratings.

As others said though, I suppose they wouldn't readily turn their back on a money maker like that. Hopefully they at least tweak the system to reclaim some sense of realism in that regard (i.e. no longer paying MyPlayers in golden coins).

The good news for me is it appears that none of the pre-order bonuses really appeal to me so I won't have to go through that whole "if I don't pre-order could I still acquire the content later" fiasco. That is, unless The Path to Greatness is actually some kind of classic mode where rookie LeBron and his Cavs battle against rookie Carmelo and his Nuggets then everything slowly progresses forward year by year from there.

When they got Jordan for the cover NBA 2K11 had to be good. Couldnt flop and it didnt. Still considered the best sports title ever by many. They got Lebron now so once again this game cannot flop. They cant drop the ball with him on the cover. HOWEVER knowing EA was bringing their game back im sure they threw tons of dollars at Lebron to do this. And yes they likely knew Live 14 was coming out long before us.

Umm... It's realistic because myPLAYER is SUPER FLIPPING MARIO!

Just kidding, I hate the system. It's so easy to buy your way to everything. It took me 3 months to get all my sig skills, 99 Overall, those clothes, and all the crap. But it takes a few bucks to get all that in one microtransaction.

The only way I'm fine with VC is this:
-More expensive, not $5 for 10,000 VC, but $15
-Cant use on Road to Greatness or myTEAM (unless in what I will say
-Use only for Clothes and Accessories and Crew-related stuff (JERSEYS?!?!)
-Expensive boosters for myTEAM
-If there was myCrib = PERFECT EXAMPLE FOR VC!
