    Buy on day 1 or wait for patch 1 to fix everything

    Seeing how sports video games have gone in recent years it's becoming commonplace for Franchise mode lovers to be stuck in the purgatorious "wait until the patch comes out to fix everything that's making the mode unplayable" zone. (cough Madden 16)

    Seeing as there is a month until the game comes out I'm wondering if it would be too much to ask that the game released in September is at least playable from a MyGM/MyLeague p.o.v. Or maybe just submit the patch to microsoft and sony now?

    (I'm halfway playing around as I know the rigors of coding and hexing).

    Patch 1 is on day 1

    2K has had release day patches for the last few years to fix the egregious stuff

        I almost never buy on Day 1, for anything. Sports games in particular. As much as we love them on this board, are broken for weeks after release.

          This and MLB The Show are the only sports games I buy on day 1.

          Why? Because 2K and Sony San Diego have earned my trust.

          EA has lost my trust with their NHL and Madden games, thus I don't buy them until things are patched, if at all--heck, Madden 16 already has a crippling Connected Franchise bug, and they actually told people not to start that mode until it's patched!

          But, while 2K is not perfect, I trust them enough to make a very good basketball video game. And their hiring of OSers in the last 12 months has only increased my trust.

          Will there be problems on day one? Almost certainly. But I trust 2K and the Visual Concepts team enough to have faith that the positive will greatly outweigh the negative.

            Hold out if you have the willpower, though I certainly don't.

              For me it's always been a day 1, because I love the game of basketball so much I know I'm gonna buy it. And with nothing but baseball on TV I'm usually dying of boredom so even tho I know it won't play perfect right out of the box I know it'll get me the hoops fix I need after summer league ends.

                  Might as well get Day One, just because you wait to play the game doesn't mean the patch will come any faster :/

                    Well I just got 15 yesterday on disc and its still "installing" so my guess is if I buy on day one I might be able to play by day 8

                      I always buy day 1, but going in depth ...

                      Since this game does not drops its price for a while, I believe not even by patch 3, it makes no sense to wait.

                      Specially since there are a few incentives to buy it early (not just what 2K offers, but to get used to the new stuff) and this year seems special in regards of the amount of attractive new stuff and the promises of new enhanced elements.

                      Anyways, to each our own.

                        Sure, you could wait for a game to fix the problems, but you aren't able to enjoy the game for that period of time. Even when does have bugs, there are plenty of other game modes or ways to enjoy it. People that wait really aren't getting a better value nor is it smarter. It's just a preference.

                          Day one why not..I wouldn't touch any features just practice and get the feel of the game, meanwhile I wait for rosters updates.

                            Yeah patch 1 is always on day one.
                            Also saying that the game is unplayable on release day is a bit of an exaggeration. The game is playable and gets tweaked afterwards

                              If it's not installing right, leave it on cpu vs cpu opition, come back around 15 minuets.
