Re: Beware:Missing CD key

maybe you have to register at the 2k website then theyll email you the key. alot of software ship this way now. maybe it says something in the user manual about this.
just a thought

There is nothing in the instruction manual about registering the game. And funny thing, the tech support number goes right to someone's voicemail.

I just received my copy from gamestop.com from UPS, and am obviously in the same boat.

Re: Beware:Missing CD key

from everything I've been able to figure out with some help from my local gamestops and the 2k forums, this isn't just our problem....the whole US release may be FUBAR

I can just see that guy getting in from lunch with a good couple thousand calls about it. Poor bastard, Fix My Game!


F it, I'm just going to play my 360 association, I was hoping to get the jersey texture and a custom jersey in the game before I go back to work from lunch, oh well, hopefully tonight.

Re: Beware:Missing CD key

I just got the PC version and bam, no cdkey. Also WHY in the heck is this setup through STEAM ?

Re: Beware:Missing CD key

to prevent piracy

Re: Beware:Missing CD key

So absolutely nobody here has gotten a CD key and has played their game?

[TombSong]

Re: Beware:Missing CD key

Nope.

Also this crap does not prevent piracy. It only aggravates paying customers. I gotta put crap on my machine thats doing only God knows what in the background just to play a game I payed for. I am 2 minutes away from returning this thing.

Re: Beware:Missing CD key

Same thing here, I opened my case up and there was no cd code, check the forums over at 2Ksports and people are screaming about this. I took my game back to Gamestop, told him the issue, he called the other 4 Gamestops in our county, and guess what, they checked the boxes and they are all missing cd keys. Its funny some of the people on the 2Ksports forums
were able to install the game, and complaining of bugs. I take it they did not get there copies from Gamestop. This stinks, way to let your your fanbase EA, oops mean 2K.

I guarantee you none of those people who were able to install the game have a copy of the US release of 2k9

Re: Beware:Missing CD key

Are there any 2k guys that still frequent this forum that we can talk to?

STEAM is a great (and safe) piece of software, it's sole purpose isn't to prevent piracy, it also allows the developement team to install hotfixes and patches in a much more streamlined, timely, and convenient manner.

Atleast, that's the experience that I've had using the software on a daily basis with the handful of games that I've activated through STEAM.
