I had no choice but to let the computer control the game and let it play out to completion while I watched TV. When the game ended I was able to select the quit option and the game magically moved on.

My guess is that either you HAVE to go through the entire Spurs/Heat game (like it's not just an elaborate loading screen) or there's a second, hidden download beyond the 54 gb.

If you have to keep playing that game over I'd guess your system is having trouble with this hidden download. I assume you've tried to uninstall and reinstall the game?
Correct...I've done it twice. Really weird. And I've gone through the Heat/Spurs game multiple times....

Yes I would delete it one more time. And install it. But play the game out. It should working after a while.

There has to be a fix...2K hasn't said anything about this?
Have you verified that the game is fully installed? You can check by going to the PS4 dashbar, highlight the game and press options. If it's not installed, there should be a text saying "17g out of 54g" installed or something like that.

Step 1 - Take the disc out of the PS4
Step 2 - Wipe the disc on your shirt or with a clean cloth
Step 3 - Reset the PS4, then turn the PS4 off
Step 4 - Put the disc back in it's case & return it from which it came

Re: Can't start game......update required

When I first got the game when it came out, I didn't play the Heat/Spurs game. I just popped the disc in and let it do what it wanted for a few hours while I was at work. Came home and it booted up perfectly.


Seems like the people who got too impatient were the ones with the major boot up issues back then.

I've got this problem with the Digital Download version, on my 2nd time of letting the CPU play the Spurs Heat game
