Also, two things to clarify: Yes, this is a pre-order applies BOTH digitally and physically. More details are being worked out on exact timing (time zones etc) This release date will be the same in ALL regions internationally - September 29... but only some regions will have the pre-order, 4-day early - UK, AUS have it for example). More details will be coming on those questions later.

-Add crews to next gen
-Fix the Rec; no one wants to wait half an hour to play a game when they already have their 5 together. Go to straight queues.
-Boxscores after all Park games and when you press "start/menu"
-How hard is it to track all stats for your MyPlayer online?

No preorder for me. I'm showing my discontent with how 2k15r was rolled out. I can't recall a more deflating gaming experience than I had on the 2k15 release.

# 44 ODogg @ 05/27/15 03:02 PM

I hope this starts a trend for preorders to drop on Friday! I love it, hate getting a new game on Tuesday, play for a bit and it's bedtime cuz I gotta be up for work at 7am...

No joke. That's why I typically wait until Friday to buy new releases anyway, since I know I won't have much time during the work week to play the game.

Definitely taking advantage of this pre-order deal.

Happy Birthday to meee!!! Happy Birthday to meee!!!

Love it, I'll be off for my Bday anyway that day. I'm with ODogg, I hope this is a trend going forward for all games.

# 47 iceberg760 @ 05/27/15 05:03 PM

i'm digging that/get the game early--same price...VC doesn't mean much to me..

# 48 NINJAK2 @ 05/27/15 05:57 PM

Awesome...That's four days for early purchasers to find glitches and let us know about them before the rest of of us go to the store 4 days later to potentially buy.

Not all of us OSers play games to discover all the glitches, lol

Name a game that has not been patched multiple time, please. When has a the ability to fix issues discovered after release become a bad thing.

Oh I know where that sentiment comes from...definitely...but there are a lot of folks on this board that seem only to enjoy themselves when they can find a glitch no one else has found yet...

Happy b-day to me on the 25th as well. Hopefully this launches with less issues than the current game did.

Then those people who worry about such things should never pre-order any game and should just rent them first to see, or wait until 2-3 weeks after a game releases to consider buying.

If gamers are really worried about wasting their $60 on a game that has poor gameplay, then they should really put a lot more due diligence into buying them. Pre-orders are not mandatory.

I've already pre-ordered because I'm a huge fan of 2k basketball and trust them to put out a game I can play "offline" and have fun with on day one. I would not pre-order numerous other sports titles.

Did anyone else get an email from Amazon saying this?

"The release date for the video game listed below has been changed by the publisher, and we want to provide you with a new delivery estimate based on the new release date:

"NBA 2K16 : Early Tip-off Edition - PlayStation 4"
Estimated arrival date: September 29, 2015

We'll make every effort to get the delayed item(s) to you as soon as possible."

WTH?

I have received the same email from Amazon, don't know what's happened...

Dont fall for the hype.

Expect some of the same recycled animations year after year.

"Fluid-like and smoother" Bullchit. Nothing new

Same here. I'm guessing its a glitch. I did cancel it, however, but will preorder again when it gets fixed.

Edit: Looks like it's back to Sept 25th on Amazon now.

# 59 Shanican @ 05/29/15 05:11 PM

I just got off the phone with amazon. They told me there was nothing they can do. Might be just the person I talked to but, I had my order cancelled. Ill order it from somewhere else if possible.

# 60 jeremym480 @ 05/29/15 05:20 PM

Sweet. I will no longer have to us nefarious means to get the game early! I don't really care abou the rest of the bonuses. Just happy to save money. Pre-ordering now.
