Just the truth, man. The truth.

Bugs. Too many bugs.

If you think 2K not getting LeBron on the cover is out of lack of respect, you're an idiot. The cover deal was probably done early in the Playoffs, or even earlier. Then again, Bron might've got more money from EA, or could be asking for way too much money altogether.

So stop with the "LeBron should've been on it, damn you 2K" shit. It's just a cover. Get over it.

From what I heard, an ea employee said Lebron was asking for 7 or 8 figures. That is probably the entire game's budget.

I recall hearing something similar at a community event a few years back.

I know LeBron is a great player, but this for being on a cover of a game. Why do you need 7-8 figures for a pic? I'm just hoping the in game title screen can be modded like 2k12, so we can put the real person who should of made the cover/title. Scal

It's not just paying for a photograph. They'll be making money off his likeness, so naturally he wants to be compensated for it.

I'm still wondering what the Brooklyn Bridge was all about.


Not sure if this was addressed, Brooklyn Bridge hints at MJ's involvement, his birthplace.
