    Lol now we're just getting subjective. Should 2k waste time worrying about Jordan's leg sleeve length? Kawhi's beard? Kyrie shaved, should they patch it out, to patch it in when he grows it back? I see those topics generating lots of concerns.

    People are pissed they can't replay the Prelude, not to mention Live has new matchups for their demo every week, it's not a bad thing to be patching tbh.

      Yea but all of those things are stuff that somewhat effect gameplay. If anything, you're just proving my point even more since they haven't fixed any of those things yet but they're still worried about people replaying the prelude lol

        No idea why we can't play it more than once. Like you say, it's not like playing it more than once will unlock any more of the story etc. Do 2K really think "if someone can replay the Prelude multiple times they might not buy the full game because they've got unlimited gameplay already"?? What exactly is going through their heads?

        The only logical explanation is the fact that they charge you VC to make a myplayer so they don't want you to get used to building a good myplayer before the game drops, otherwise you'll only have to spend minimal VC.

        They're banking on you messing up and having to pay more VC to choose different archetypes.

        If that isn't true what other reason could they possibly have? Especially since they went out of their way to patch it. If I was a game company I would want people to play as much as possible

          This, it would let you make an informed decision on what type of player you wanna make in the game. Without if you realise yozu dont like your player maybe you are willing to spend some money on VC to speed up the process...

            No reason to, once you play it you're ready for the full game.

              Nah it's all from a business perspective, and I don't like it.

              They know that basketball fans already got it pre-ordered and we been waiting on it for months. Regardless of how short it is it's not changing our minds.

              They know us hardcore career/park/proam guys are tryna find out our builds...and by limiting it to one playthrough, like people have said, we'll probably wind up screwing up and having to start over and possibly repurchase VC we spent or just spend more to make a new guy on top of the already made one.

              Like it's smart business but it's clearly not gonna make any customer happy.

                2nd paragraph is exactly why we can't start over. My biggest mistake was finalizing a player and starting the prelude. I should of left it at the create a player screen so i can finally see overbuild without sorting through numerous spreadsheets.

                    It is possible,close the prelude application, go to storage and delete everything of nba 2k18 prelude, then turn the network off and go to the prelude app, now "start the career" and "myplayer" will be gray out, go back in the ps4 menu and turn on the network again. Go to 2kU in prelude, after you quit 2kU your "new" career will be open.

                      Re: Why would 2k not let us restart Prelude?

                      I hate being a Point Guard of literally any build, guess I won't make one.

                      I don't understand how builds work differently? If I know I don't like this... why would I try building that archetype?

                      "I might want a Face-Up 4" - have you tried Lamarcus Aldridge? What'd you think? Make or don't make?

                        For the same reason they included the annoying unskippable 2ku pop ups for the 2nd straight year when they damn well know everyone hates it. They want people to buy the full game, lots of casual fans would be ok with the prelude alone if it wasn't for this two annoyances

                          That type of stuff from gaming companies seem so unnecessary and uncool man. As if playing the prelude a couple of times before the game launches was gonna make any difference in you buying the game or not.
