Steam currently lists Standard at $69.99, SLAM at $79.99, and Superstar at $99.99. Check the final storefront because platform sales can change the amount.
Bonus content needs an internet connection and NBA 2K account. The VC grant is not multiplied by owning two generation versions; 2K says the extra VC is awarded once and accessed through the shared same-family wallet.
