Ikick around that idea each yr with this game on wether to buy day1 or not since its typically unplayable until atleast the 1st patch gets out and I don't mean the day1 patch from the standpoint of your career modes anyway.
Gameplay is usually solid from the start though and since they added in classics and Euro league teams buying day1 is a lot easier decision for me as I end up playing the crap out of those teams while waiting to start a Association once patches are out and players get added.
I do get tired of buying day1 only to have a game with issues for quite a while where I catn enjoy it to the fullest, but they are all like that nowdays, even MLBTS which I consider to be the best game made has its issues early on to which starting a franchise isn't really possible, but they always come thru with a patch to fix things, and typically NBA2k usually gets issues ironed out for the most part anyway. Out of the 3 games I buy only Madden is a no go on day1 and sometimes I wont buy it at all, and while I have seriously thought about doing that to NBA2k because of some of their shady ways I still do end up buying it being that I love basketball so much.
