    Re: Buy on day 1 or wait for patch 1 to fix everything

    Wait for the MAIN patch so I don't see "I sold 2k because of so and so not getting fixed" or "This is my last 2k game because blah blah blah"

    People are so damn impatient and are ready to blame.....they know what they are getting and it happens every year...something will be broken from the get go this is always guaranteed and yet people still buy early....

    I've preordered already so I'm good...will I rage if something is not to my liking and start a thread about it? No...I will just play another game and wait for the patch like I've always done....next month is going to be stacked with a bunch of games......

      i have done this three times already. just wont work for me?

      I am not trying to be that guy, really. I have played College Hoops non stop, was really excited about 16 and getting a new game. Borrowed 15 and this thing just wont play. I have installed 3 times. Read all of the forums and posts. I know the size and that it is supposed to take awhile but it is the disc and I have been trying this since 1 yesterday afternoon.

        One last thing. Whada bout you deleting everything including the patch. the next step is to don't start up 2k. just download the patch and install it, then install 2k.

          I don't remember anything holding back me starting a MyLeague last year. Gameplay wise I remember waiting on fouls to be fixed, but that's about all I can recall. In 2k14 I remember there was a issue with Player Morale that I waited for a patch for, but nothing stopped me last year, so I'm getting Day One as usual. With that said I understand that waiting is a part of the package with sports games for the past decade or so, therefore if I have to wait, I will. I'm used to it.

            Tried that as well. Deleting and installing one more time and then I am giving up.

                Yeah, same here. Though we did also need to wait for adjustments to player regression. Unfortunately those came with the infamous shooting change patch, but yeah.

                  So when we talk Day 1 are we talking about the pre-order people that are getting the game early? If so, will the rosters be good to go as well? I'd like to jump straight into myPlayer mode on day 1!

                    Regression and Draft classes (everyone having play initiator to yes) were broken even after day 1 patch. When patch came out to fix it we had to restart MyPlayer/MyLeague/MyGM to get the effects.

                    I just hope there is no fix that causes us to have to restart the mode to get the effects.

                      They've been plagued with launch day problem in the past but I had little or no problems with 2k14 or 15 on their launch days although I understand my experience may be unique since I live in Europe and the euro servers are probably less busy than the American ones since the game is way more popular in that region.

                      People were not stuck on the Spurs/Heat, if the game was not fully installed there is a feature on the new consoles that lets you play part of the game while the rest of it is installing.

                        Pre ordered, won't open until the second patch probably. Expecting the usual broken stuff that gets fixed by November.

                          I did Amazon's early tip-off pre-order so does that mean I'm getting the game on day -3? LOL

                          As far as waiting, I'm right in line with those that say 2k has gained the trust that EA has lost. For the first time ever, I'm 3 days into "Madden season" and haven't purchased the game. I'm not a huge basketball fan IRL but I enjoy playing the NBA series and, after reading the MyLeague blog a week or two ago, there was no way I wasn't going to get this.

                          I could wait to make sure it all works fine but I usually play a few exhibition games before getting into MyLeague anyway. Even when I do, I just play a single season and off-season to get used to the new stuff there. Once that's done, I start my real one. With all that, it's usually at least a month or two before I start that one anyway.

                            Why did you pre-order it if you're not going to even open it until October or November?

                            You could probably find it on sale by then if you waited.

                              Already got it discounted via the gamer club. I just don't like having to wait for a game so id rather have it in my hand than have to go buy it later, so I pre order.

                                If you are smart and can wait you should never buy ANY game at release. Games are always buggy and not ready when they get released.
