When I saw this I was like OYAH, but then I read the features.

I don't need a ball or NBA2k gear, c'mon now. Sadly this is kind of a gimmick. I would pay 100 bucks for a little bit more content, though.

I wish they had an offline edition with a crazy amount of content and an online edition that was balanced for that. I'd be buying both. heh.

OH 2K, you are always doing something off-the-wall.

It seems like they want to do something cool.

So if we don't get the Dynasty edition we have to pay for All-star weekend? Man, developers just snaking money out of customers now by taking away traditional game features. At least give us a respectable street mode...

No, all you have to do is pre-order to get ASW for free

But I will be one of the many who will not pre-order it. I will wait for the game to come out and probably pick it up once the season start or once Christmas rolls around...or a price drop. My main concern is the fact that they label these features as "free with pre-order!" when years ago it was a common game mode. Even street is bland now... I want to be able to finish a sim quick game on 2K and go onto the blacktop (or old Street mode) and pick my setting / court and play an all out arcade version like back in 2K4 and 2k5.

EDIT: I also recall when SEGA was all over this game it was $30 max

So first your issue was "if we don't get the Dynasty edition we have to pay for All-star weekend"... exposedaking told you that all you have to do is pre-order to get ASW free.
Then you're issue was, "Still, we have to pay for ASW."... exposedaking, again, clarified that it's free with a pre-order.
Then you came up with another complaint; that you won't pre-order it... you will wait until Christmas. Sorry, but that's on you. Dont' put that on the 2K team. Seems like you're fishing for complaints.

It's labelled as a BONUS for pre-orders. There's a reason for that. Don't even try to compare today's era of games to yesteryears. It's a different landscape. Games drop in price so fast today. Even YOU admitted that you will wait for a price drop. 2K needs to make money, and make as much as they can. The ASW is an added incentive for people to buy the game early-on, at the $59.99 price point. I was planning to wait a week or two, but I want the ASW Bonus, so I think I'm going to deposit $5 for a pre-order. See how that works?

And regarding the $30 price point.... they had major competition back then and were the underdogs.
Seems like your mindset is stuck in the "good ol days". I miss those days also, but the landscape has change since the years you refer to. It's like that old man on the park bench complaining about how he remembers a pack of bubble gum used to cost a nickel. Times have changed. And business models have changed to reflect the times.
