For those not familiar with the NBA 2K franchise, the game usually has a demo available on the PlayStation and Xbox digital storefronts a week before launch, which lets you create a player, and have any progress you make carry over to the retail version of the game when you purchase it.

This year’s NBA 2K18 “demo,” which is called “The Prelude,” not only will be available next week on September 8, but it’ll even have Trophies/Achievements that anyone can earn just by playing the demo. What’s more, the Trophies/Achievements are super easy to earn. How easy? You can earn some without even playing an actual basketball match.
