And MJ is my 'hero' but charging over the top for a custom cover and a few bits of myplayer stuff is extortionate. You could get someone to make you a custom cover and save your pennies.

Like I said, new game modes featuring Kobe or his best games, sure, that'd be worth the cash.

You also get a poster and a controller skin and some other cool items I think is worth the price.

Also, you think they're going to reveal any new game modes in April? Do you know 2K sports marketing?

2k has really started to 'sell out'. Always milking everything now. A pre order in April? .. We haven't even seen gameplay or anything. Man oh man do they need good old fashioned competition again.

I like the Kobe cover though.

Really hoping that there is some added Kobe content, similar to the 2k11 Jordan content. Anything that adds different classic teams and player models to the game is worth the price. Would love some classic games, like the ones that have been mentioned before, but in terms of new teams, there has to be a prime Kobe vs LeBron game. That would be a great way to get the 2009 Cavaliers in the game vs the 2009 Word Champion Lakers. To tell you the truth, in terms of Kobe vs LeBron there are a few teams they could add, would be cool to get their first meeting in 2004 and then I could finally get my Rookie LeBron and 2004 Cavaliers team. Also obviously the 2006 Lakers would be included for the 81 point game against the Raptors, which gives us 2006 Raptors with young Chris Bosh. As a LeBron fan I respect Kobe and always enjoyed their rivalry, it would be such a shame to not include it if they are doing a Jordan Challenge like treatment for Kobe's career.

'Legends Edition'

Really hope this means they spend time & effort detailing all the retro players and gameplay with retro teams

Would it be possible to get the 2009 or 2010 Lakers in this game?

Not sure why competition matters when it comes to offering pre-orders. If someone knows they want this, why can't they pre-order it? You can always cancel it whenever you want on Amazon with no penalty.

This is marketing 101, not "selling out". 2k was smart to jump on the Kobe hype train on his last day, offer a Kobe edition with pre-orders and get people excited about the game in Sept/Oct. The other game probably wishes they did this right about now.

I mean, it's great you want to wait until you see more info before diving in to buying the game, but if someone wants to reserve a copy at no risk right now, more power to them.

Pretty smart marketing imo. Can't blame them. If you can sell tons of pre order 6 months before release without even showing anything you take the opportunity lol. I would never pre order personally tbh.
