NBA 2K21: 10 Things We Already Know

Pre-ordering NBA 2K21 gives players access to a seemingly endless amount of perks.

Purchasing the standard version of the game for either generation will give you access to five thousand extra VC and MyTEAM points, alongside ten MyTEAM promo packs (released at a rate of one per week), nine MyCAREER skill boosts, and five pairs of shoes from the shoe collection.

Players will also be gifted a digital collection based on the cover star for their chosen generation of console. Both contain a MyTEAM free agent card for either Lillard or Williamson, with Damian's collection also coming with a custom MyPLAYER t-shirt and a Tissot Chrono XL watch for use in MyPLAYER. Meanwhile, Zion's collection comes with a New Orleans Pelicans MyPLAYER jersey and a dunk animation package to use in MyPLAYER.

However, and you opt for the Mamba Forever Edition, you'll gain access to more perks than you could ever want. 100,000 VC, ten thousand MyTEAM points, ten MyTEAM tokens, 60 MyCAREER skill boosts, 30 Gatorade boosts, 40 MyTEAM promo packs (ten at launch, and then another three each week), sapphire MyTEAM cards of both standard edition cover stars, a MyPLAYER shoe collection, and a MyPLAYER backpack will all be yours.

While the next-gen version will also contain a 72 hour 2X REP boost and a basketball for MyPLAYER use, both generations will also have a digital collection, featuring five MyPLAYER shoes, three MyPLAYER jerseys, a Black Mamba MyPLAYER uniform, rookie Lakers MyTEAM jerseys, custom Black Mamba MyPLAYER jerseys, a sapphire Kobe Bryant MyTEAM card, and five pairs of MyTEAM shoes (including one diamond pair).
