Amazon UK have decided that they won't be sending out physical copies early... after I preordered it on the PS4. FFS Amazon, too late to order elsewhere for tomorrow.
was going to say best buy is still taking pre-orders if you can pick up there.......but UK only has an online store afaik. What about GAME? as much as I hear people hate them....wouldn't doubt it if they still allow you to pre-order

I phoned up and got through to a UK support guy in the end, and he said they ARE doing Early Tip Off access and a code should be emailed out for tomorrow. It's a shame the first person I talked to on the webchat thing didn't understand Amazon's own procedures.
If push comes to shove, I'll buy the digital version from the US PSN.

Glad I went with shopto should be here tomorrow.
Came looking for the same. Considering switching to vanilla but the bonus stuff seems like a good value honestly. I do have my fingers crossed that the codes are individual codes, i'd dump all the Jordan jerseys and stuff to some sucker for $. Yes he's the GOAT but every kid online gonna wear 23..
Which reminds me I need to see if Best Buy is doing a midnight release.

The server problems stopped me from ranking up online, so many time I lost my progress when I went offline, expecting the same once again.
highly unlikely, the events page only has halo 5 listed.
I don't even know how you guys enjoyed online with that added input delay....you had to memorize how long you held the button instead of looing at the bar....also made defending impossible because you had to slap your stick a second earlier due to your actual actions being delayed.
Thank god I am not the only one in the same boat here. disappointed for my first ever time with amazon...
I wonder if it will be like arkham knight and we get a full digital game code and the game
Slightly off-topic:
I tried this on 2K15 and it was such a pain in the ass. Hopefully it's a lot better on 2K16.
So it wasn't worth it?
I tried it in the NBA Live demo and it looked like a really angry version of me, but still kind of cool to see myself in a game.

hey i mostly play blacktop mode do we know if it's still pointless to do myplayer with a PG still? IE in blacktop can i still be a 6-10 do it all SF or did they finally fix that bullshit? i love running point online but there was never a reason to not make a guy who's almost 7 feet to do it with last year

I haven't seen SF caps, but it seems like they're actually putting a sstop to the 7ft KD/LBJ hybrids from previous games. I think a 6'6 SG has a max speed of 78.
Player height is capped based on position so no 7 foot point guards

finally. hope the game works well on PC at launch. last year blacktop mode was a desert after two months, hopefully it makes it till the end of the year at least this time
Got a couple of games in early this morning before work (australia).
First impressions are presentation is top notch, they have taken it up a step all around. Some things remind me a little of NFL 2K style which I know everyone will love.
Another thing i really noticed was the player bodies. That body scanning really works wonders... Check out Lebron vs the rest of his team or up against someone like Tony parker. Just incredible what a difference it has made to players physical sizes, really great to see.
Can't wait to dig in this weekend properly!

I noticed that in YouTube footage. There's a lot more variety in the physical builds of players. Still not perfect, but definitely big progress compared to past years.

Think I'm gonna go for a 6'10 Inside PF and see how it goes if I don't like him I'll go for a SF.

It was extremely frustrating to get it to finish. And the final product was terrible. I took a good 15 minutes trying to do it as it kept failing until I finally got it to finish.
You really need to be in a well-lit room, as well as having the camera inches from your face to get it properly. There are tutorials on YouTube on getting a proper scan, but the ones I've seen actually spent some time to arrange their area to get the best possible outcome.
Anytime you watch a game, play a video game or buy nba clothing, you support the Knicks. They share money throughout the league.
Wow lets no get reckless in here
I went out and got a camera, scanning now, it says I hit 11,000+ reference points but I didn't even get to look to the right lol. I expect it to look like a ghoul when it's done.

Will the Xbox 360 version have the new career mode? My friend is a big Kansas fan and was wondering if it is in the game.
Yea just got back, Im not even going to try and play tonight, just letting it install while I sleep.
Props to them on putting a percentage tracker though, because last year everybody thought the game was broke because it took so long
