12 hours is about right. I went ahead and bought it digitally around 12:30 and I have 6-8 hours left

It's taken (tak-ing..still in process) me 5.5 hours to download FIFA 16 - 14 Gb. I hate my download speed.

Yup, took 12 hours for me too. About 2 to download and the rest to install.

The only downside is you can't resell the game but 9 times out of 10 your going to sell it 1-2 months before 2K17 comes out. Which means you will only get like $12-$20 bucks for it , which is pointless . Your better off just keeping the game .
Its not pointless. I rather have $12-$20 than 0. Money is money

Approximately 12 hours to download all 39.8 GB of the PC version off Steam with my 10 mb/s down connection. Pretty normal.

lets say Im going a friends house & he doesnt have 2k16...& he wants to play it.
