Offline - Which version to buy

[ZePRiNCE]

Hi
I Want to buy this game before it gets delisted - but i dont think i will have time before the server shutdown

So. I understand offline I will only have the exhibition mode.
I think standard edition will be enough ? Or will I miss some content ?

Thanks

but as I know, it is till 2026 december 31, you still have more than 1 year to play. If you think that you play much in this year and buying deluxe or grand slam is worth it for you to unlock those courts and premium items in the pass in 1 year. You can do so. Actually, if mycareer is offline and will not be affected, for me, I will buy the grand slam, as it is more valuable for all unlockable items. I just hope mycareer will not be affected

Career mode is online only. If your internet goes out, career mode will be grayed out and inaccessible.

When they shut down the servers... Career mode will be permanently unplayable.

Then they want you to spend another $200 for Top Spin 2k26. That too will become unplayable when they shut down the servers. You will have to buy Top Spin 2k27 and so on.

Do NOT buy this game if you're only interested in Career Mode. 2k only cares about Online.

I already get used to the nba thing, which every yeear having new game and then the old one will be abandoned full of bugs and unplayable.

Thanks for your replies but I dont think you replied to the question.
Maybe I wasn't clear myself.

Let's go to the future. We are in ~2027. The servers are offline.
User A has the Standard Edition.
User B has the Grand Chelem.

Any differences ?

Hi,

Grand Chelem edition will give you items which are only useful if you are online, with 2K server available.

I advice you to take the standard, in promo, and to stay in touch about any lawsuit the community will launch to stop the studios to remove huge part of their games and features after few years. It has to stop, each time an offline patch has to be released before any server shutdown.

Does anyone know why the game doesn't start once I have it installed. I have tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling it and it still doesn't work.
