NBA 2K players want to see Kobe Bryant on the cover of NBA 2K21

Fans of NBA 2K have been commemorating the late LA Lakers legend, Kobe Bryant, in NBA 2K20 ever since the day of his tragic accident. As 2K Sports release a new NBA game ever year, the community wants to see the "Mamba" featured as the cover athlete of NBA 2K21.

no doubt this will happen.

I'm sure everyone would be fine with it, but the cover athlete us contracted with the players themselves, or their agent, not through the league like the rest of the inclusion of players in game.

His estate would have to agree to it if 2k wanted to go ahead. They cant just slap anyone up on the cover.

I'd be fine if they decided to do it. Never followed basketball, but hes one of those people that transcended the game. Such a shame what happened.

NBA 2k7 was Shaq, you mean 2017?

He was in the 2010 and 2017 covers

Nope, I should have been more clear though. It’s the Sony Published NBA title. I think Sony stopped publishing them in 2009

2pacalypsenow1549d ago

Oh you had NBA 07.

Makes more sense.

I'm quite sure the homage on the cover will be.

It should be him and his daughter. She played ball too.

Hopefully doesn’t take them a complete gen to release it

Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.

I too like to look for things in the wrong places.

"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.

If it was more online-only crap then good riddance.

jjb198120h ago

Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.

I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.

Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition Reneges on Promised Content Behind $250 Price Tag

The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.

$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?

SimpleDad1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.

Read a comment earlier calling it a "special monetization operation." I had to chuckle at that.
