It’s that time again: A brand new edition of your favorite basketball game is on the way! Our NBA 2K20 Pre-Order Guide is here to help you figure out which of the game’s three editions you should buy and what exactly you’re be getting for them!
NBA 2K19 made a splash last year, although it had its fair share of problems. Normally, players would be stuck dealing with this stuff for a few years. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at things), this is a sports game and that means that there’s going to be a new release every year. This year’s edition has finally been announced and our NBA 2K20 pre-order guide has all of the juicy details about the digital goodies you can score when you buy the game early!
This year’s version of the officially-licensed basketball game features Anthony Davis of the New Orleans Pelicans on the cover and shares the credit along with Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat. This is the second time that Mr. Davis will be on the cover of a 2K basketball game, as he previously shared the honor with LeBron James and Stephen Curry for NBA 2K16. As for Mr. Wade, he recently retired from the NBA after more than 15 years playing professionally, the majority of which he spent with the Miami Heat.
