His move set looks generic, from the jumper to the spins etc.

Unlike the Jordan challenge footage where they updated MJ’s likeness tremendously, not once in this did I feel like I was watching Kobe. It seems proplay focus had them not update any of Kobe’s sigs (which were already updated in his 2K21 cover year then more added in 2K22 and 2K23). Also todays jersey fits are more in line with Jordan’s era fits so even works in MJ challenge’s favor and makes something feel missing in Kobe’s game footage.

Wow…no 81 or his last game, probably the two most remembered of his career. I get player rights issues, but I might’ve scrapped all of this in favor of another era (1995-96 going into the 96 draft) then do a Kobe challenge mode without those two.

They've got to be trolling us, right?

They surely CAN'T have this mode without the 81 game, surely?

I was hoping to see a game from the 99-00 Season. I just want the Lakers team from that year. I'll probably just have to create it myself

I find it underwhelming too. I'm going to play it and enjoy it but man...

Lacking a lot honestly, especially compared to the Jordan Challenges last year. No 81 point game, no 60 point game, etc

They 100% dropped the ball on this ngl. This was the one thing I was sure was going to lead me into a 2k24 purchase and now I'm perfectly fine waiting unless what I see of Proplay changes things. Right now though, it's middling to say the least.

Like, of all the moments they could choose from, they pick only 7 AND not include the 81 point game, 60 in the last game, 61 in the Garden? Models for guys like Shaq of all people still aren't touched. This just kind of feels like a slap in the face coming off the Jordan Challenge as a Lakers/Kobe fan.

Unless they add more moments as the year goes on, this just feels kind of hollow.

It’s almost as if they didn’t really wanna do this but felt an obligation to honor Kobe in a similar way to MJ (in fear of public backlash)

You can tell the effort they put into this one isn’t even CLOSE to the effort put into the Jordan Challenge

Man, if player rights were that big an issue they could've just pulled a 2k12 and did a Greatest Moments mode for multiple legends.
