Just pre-ordered NBA 2K24 Kobe Bryant Edition (ps4).
Got it for $69 (australian dollars) and free postage on amazon australia!
While on ebay australia the cheapest was $120 (australian dollars).
Its very important that you buy this, because Brandon Miller, Scoot Henderson, Victor Wembanyama are not in any of the previous versions.

This is going to be more fun than any other game I've ever played.
Because usually I make a league with the draft pool of current players AND all-time players.
The problem with that was it made every team too similar in talent level, so the games were all similar.
This time I'm only including the current players (with the exception of adding MJ and Shaq).

Yes because I’m a huge sucker. But it’s beyond annoying how little work they put into the games year over year. The franchise mode has gotten worse as they focus on the myplayer stuff to coax people into micro transactions.

c. Victor Wembanyama
pf. Zion Williamson
sf. Brandon Miller
sg. Michael Jordan
pg. Scoot Henderson
6th. Austin Reaves
It will be interesting to see if I can draft all those players.
I'll make sure my Bulls have the #1 draft pick, so I'll get MJ, but we'll see if I can get the other 5 players too....
Zion is 92, and Wembanyama is 84, so can I get those 2 guys with my 2nd and 3rd choices?

How can you have a lineup like that? You can just pick whoever you want on your team? How is that fair?

Its all done in a draft, so its completely fair.
The only unfair part is that I'm fixing the draft so the Bulls have the #1 pick.
And I might not get all 6 players, because they might be taken already.... but I will get MJ for certain.
But will Zion still be on the board by the time I have my 2nd choice? Maybe not, so maybe my 2nd choice will have to be Wembanyama.

Last 2K I bought was 2K18... If I upgrade to a PS5 or new Xbox I'd consider buying the new 2K, but a word to the wise...

Don't bother with buying 2K at launch... They almost always ship broken / buggy so you're better off waiting a month or two for the first patch to hit and for the fall / winter sale season to take off...

Only a sucker would buy 2K at full price.

That's what I thought, until I saw it was only $69 (australian dollars).
And it will be extremely exciting to play each Bulls game on the same day that the real life Bulls are playing!
I've never done that before.

Zion is 16th on the ratings ladder, so no chance of me drafting him with my 2nd choice, so looks like Wambanyama (64th best player) will be my 2nd choice....

nope

2k became trash when they started being bought off when it comes to players overall ratings in the game

no way lebron should be rated the same level as luka or embiid

Do people realize college basketball/football would be more fun than these pro sports games?

Imagine having a my career mode coming out of highschool where you work your way up as the #1 recruit in the nation. It would be so much more fun.

Honestly no because franchise mode has remained static and boring.

I find Madden and theShow to be much more entertaining to play.
