    Pre order early download?

    Need some help - i read on reddit that people are downloading the nba2k17 files pre release when they pre order digitally on psn. Is this true? I would love to download it before release so it's not a burden when it releases. Thread is called "106mb download?" - one of the comments say "it doesn't pre download till a couple days before release".

    You'll definitely be able to do it on both PSN and XBL, but I don't think anyone knows when exactly we can start. I believe it's usually a few days before release

      Wow so one can download the game files days prior? that's some great news. I was thinking going amazon digital codes but i think they only give codes on release day. Downloading pre release would be perfect. Might definitely have to go with psn then.

        Pre-load usually doesnt happen until 3-4 before release date.

        I pre-ordered 2k17 on psn and was on earlier and havent gotten any notifications of 2k downloading yet.

          Xbox users can download pre order up to 2 weeks before release. PSN on the other hand is a little inconsiderate: 2-3 days before.

              Yeah, I've already downloaded it for XBOX, just waiting for the unlock day.

              Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

                  My sleeping schedule will get seriously messed up now knowing this. I was probably gonna leave it downloading while i slept. Downloading it earlier will be deadly. Hyped.

                    Why is the download only 108 MB? That can't be the full game

                      I believe that's just the unlock key. As far as I know NBA 2K17 isn't available for predownload on the Xbox One.

                          If I buy the code from Amazon, will I be able to fire it up on the 16th?

                          Only issue I see is I will not receive the 1992 team....which is kinda a bummer....

                              It states it will be available September 20th. I didn't get the opportunity to download the full game just the unlock key. Why is that?
