    Why would 2k not let us restart Prelude?

    It literally makes no sense.

    It doesn't do any harm in letting us replay the Prelude over and over with different players. The more times we can play it and make different players at different positions, the more likely we are to buy the game.

    It's not like we're going to see spoilers in the story or anything lol. It's the same clips.

    Just don't understand the harm in it. Then when people figured out how to get by it with deleting their saved game data and disconnecting the network, 2k actually took the time to patch it. LOL whyyyyy?

        All you gotta do is go out and buy a new console than you can restart it.

        nah but seriously though this is messed up.

          They were talking about the constant barrage of live updates with gameplay tweaks that we were receiving almost daily last year. Obviously bug fixes will still be provided.

            They still can be careful about what they patch, even if they patch it every day.

              You can make another user on PS4 if you want to play it again.

                Same reason they don't want you to know attribute caps ahead of upgrading, they want you to make as many players as possible so you spend as much VC as possible. Hopefully enough backlash makes them change their mind regarding their puzzling decisions

                    If they're really wasting their time worrying about people trying to play the prelude more than once when the game drops in less than a week, then it doesn't really sound like they're being "careful" to me

                      At the very least you'd think they'd let you go back if like me you missed just one trophy/achievement

                        You can; I followed this guide and it worked. It is glitchy though; my player's appearance won't save, so I just used this to get the Jordan's and I don't think I'm gonna play through it again - if it saved I would, but it just seems too fishy for me to bother.

                        Edit: This does not work; any time you restart the app, it will default to your original career. This is only useful to achievement/trophy hunters or people who missed out on the free pair of Jordan's.

                          Lol! Why tell the man that! Just create multiple users accounts then you can test out prelude that's what my friend did.

                            You guys are missing the point. I know there are ways to restart it yourself. I'm saying why would 2k just not let us have the option to restart it.

                              Actually, the way I explained doesn't even work (explained in OP), but I'm just assuming they didn't think most people would want to restart it.
