Cool, he should have been on the main cover instead of McGrady anyway.

The pleasure of seeing Dirk on the cover is automatically cancelled out by the fact that Tony Parker gets on the cover, too.

Thats not respect, thats pandering, marketing, and unless he's getting paid, its exploitation.

How has McGrady earned to be on the cover in North America and everywhere except France, Spain and Germany???
The only thing I can think of is him calling the finals rigged!!! Ok, I love me some McGrady on the cover... He's earned it

Wish Dirk would have been on the North American cover... I mean TMac spent the better half of the previous season injured, just doesnt make much sense when Dirk and the Mavs are the favs next year. You know Dwade was on the 06' and he was given the championship... oh man I hope the Rockets dont get a free ride too!

lol there was a TV feature on NBA Live 06 last year, they said they picked Wade even though they knew there were plenty of better people (at the time), but he just took the best picture. Probably same thing with TMac. If Dirk's on the European cover, I guess that probably means he was at least in the discussion for the North American one.

Dirk is on the German cover because of him being German, the same with Diaw and Parker in France and Pau in Spain. It sure isn't because of him looking pretty.

I would have to say that Tmac is not the most photogenic basketball player in the league.
Anyway.. do you think it will be possible to order the german version online? Would be cool to have...

No doubt you'll be able to order it, but whether it'll work or not is a question.

I thought the curse was for only Madden games? Props to Dirk. However I feel NBA 2k series>>>>NBA Live series and this is coming from a huge EA fan. Live has just camped it in.

Nope, region code-lock and video-mode incompatibility. You might want to get it just as a collector's piece, but work it will not.
