NBA 2K19 - Playing Four Days Early Only Achievable From $99.99 Anniversary Edition

[Jhawkfootball06]

Not sure if this has been discussed yet, but playing four days early this year can only be achievable if you pre-order the $99.99 20th Anniversary Edition.

Pre-ordering the standard $59.99 edition will NOT allow you to play early (as it has every year in the past).

Yeah it's been known. I suppose it's kinda our fault when we all hunted to get the game early. 2k noticed how much people were willing to pay just to play early. Too bad 2k fails to understand that its the thrill of getting something that broke the street date that makes the game getting early more thrilling.

I'm getting the other game first so I can get my early bball fix. I'll get the standard 2k version four days later as I'm going to use the cash I saved from not ordering the 100 dollar version on VC.

That is lame. I am already wary of supporting 2k going forward with all the micro transactions. Maybe I will give NBA Live a chance at launch this time. When I get Live 2nd after already starting 2k's Career/Myteam modes I tend to give it less of a chance.

I blame youtubers, and people who think dropping $100 on a single game is no big deal.

[Pokes404]

Yep, that sucks. It isn't worth an extra $40 just to play 4-days early for me (I know you get other stuff with it, but I don't really care about VC or MyTeam cards). I can wait for the standard edition.

I’ll be fine watching from afar as the game is patched over and over until around Christmas time. Thank goodness for PC gaming. I hope this installment doesn’t betray the loyal console consumers like 2k18 did.

I have no intentions of getting 2k early this year.

I also have no intentions of getting 2k on release.

This is the year I sit and wait. I'll mess with the demo and simply wait. I'll get my basketball fix on the TV. I might even completely skip the next several years of 2k until they fix their defense. I'll wait for a 2k19 thread on defense along with real video evidence showing massive improvement before I even consider.

Spoiler

HOF, default sliders, User vs CPU. Using the same exact legacy code for transition defense shows how terrible the get-back defense is. The defenders are completely out of position. The defenders does not even track their man as the defenders sprint back.

Im with that strawberryshortcake guy, im gonna wait and see if they've truly worked on fixing the game by watching gameplay videos or looking at threads. And if i see them ignoring easy fixes and still focusing on trying to sell people on VC etc, i just wont get the game.
