NBA 2K19 was officially announced on June 5, 2018 and it will be released on September 11, 2018 for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. So it will be the first game in the series since NBA 2K6 (Xbox 360) and NBA 2K7 (PlayStation 3) to not be released for either platform. The players who pre-order the Anniversary Special Edition will receive it on September 7, 2018. That is four days earlier than the Standard Edition. Today, I would like to talk about the differences between the 20th anniversary special edition and the standard edition in detail.

First of all, the difference is located on the cover. On the one hand, the cover athlete of the Special 20th Anniversary Edition was revealed in June and who is Cleveland Cavaliers superstar and the NBA's best player LeBron James. This is James' second time on the cover of the game NBA 2k series because he also appeared on the cover of NBA 2K14, maybe which marked the introduction to the current generation of consoles. James said, “It’s humbling to be on the 20th anniversary cover of a game. I’ve played and loved since I was a little kid. We were able to do something really unique for the cover that represents everything that drives me and inspires me- from my family to where I come from and words I live by. I’m honored my journey can be part of this special time in 2K history and I’m excited for fans to see it.”
 
On the other hand, the Standard Edition cover was revealed at a later time, and that's probably a good thing because a traditional look could easily get washed away if it were revealed to close to the Special Edition. The cover athlete of Standard Edition was revealed on July 3^rd, 2018 and who is Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks. He is also called Alphabet 2.0 by his fans because his name is too long and difficult to read.

 
And then, let’s come to talk about the differences of digital items between Special 20th Anniversary Edition and Standard Edition.
