PLAIN NBA 2K19 COVER SERIES
While last year’s NBA Playgrounds and EA’s NBA Live have their fans, the NBA 2K series has undeniably ruled the virtual b-ball world. “He’s the perfect cover athlete and we’re excited to feature him as our very first international cover star, as NBA 2K has a strong following with fans all over the world.” “Giannis is the future of the NBA and his drive and athleticism have made him an undeniable force in the league,” said Alfie Brody, Vice President of Marketing for NBA 2K. I have worked hard to earn recognition in the NBA and being on the cover of NBA 2K19 is a dream come true.” “I love playing NBA 2K so this means a lot to me. “I am honoured to be the first international player featured on the cover of NBA 2K19,” said Antetokounmpo. Now, he graces the cover of a multi-million selling gaming franchise. In something of a rags to riches tale, only a few years ago, 23-year-old Antetokounmpo sold watches on Athenian streets. And the cherry on top? Giannis’ story is particularly heartwarming. With basketball gaining a sizable following outside the US, it’s always great to see non-American players get recognition. As well as being almost seven foot tall, Giannis has managed to be the first player in NBA history to rank in the top 20 for total points, blocks, steals, assists, and rebounds simultaneously. Taking to the stage during a press conference in sunny Athens, the publisher announced that Milwaukee Bucks’ player and Greek legend, Giannis Antekokuunmpo, will be gracing the cover of this year’s game.Īntekokuunmpo – or, “The Greek Freak” – has earned himself a bit of a cult following over the years. Presumably this covers all platforms.2K has just revealed that NBA 2K19 will feature the franchise’s first ever international cover star. If you were looking to pick up NBA 2K18 through 20 for the single player and absolutely nothing else, you have a couple more weeks to do so on console before they should be gone for good.

The servers for NBA 2K18 shut down in January of 2020.

NBA 2K19 is still selling virtual currency through Steam and have not removed those from sale, although a 2K support page seems to suggest those should have been removed from sale well over a year ago. After that time, all game functions requiring online servers will no longer function. NOTE: All multiplayer servers for NBA 2K20 will be shutdown as of. The store page for NBA 2K20 includes an addendum that the servers will shut down on December 31. 2K20 meanwhile is significantly more populated with a 51% mixed rating and a 24 hour peak of 4,862 players. NBA 2K18 carries a 29% mostly negative rating with a 24 hour peak of 293 concurrent players. Earlier tonight 2K Games took the move to delist three entries in the popular basketball game from sale, including their DLC, premium currency, and deluxe edition content. Those of you looking to pick up NBA 2k18 for Christmas on Steam this year are going to be in for a nasty surprise the game isn’t on sale anymore.
