Overview
- Visual Concepts, the developer of NBA 2K24, initially promised a Kobe Bryant card as the top Collector Level reward, set to be available in April during Season 6.
- The change was announced last minute, replacing the Kobe Bryant card with an Option Pack allowing players to pick from ten previously released 100 OVR cards.
- The decision has led to widespread outrage among players, many of whom feel misled by the sudden alteration of the reward system.
- No official explanation has been provided for the removal of the Kobe Bryant card, leading to speculation about potential licensing issues.
- The controversy adds to existing criticisms of NBA 2K24, particularly regarding its microtransaction practices in various game modes.
