What new historical teams are added?

I can't be the only one that imports the 96 Bulls into a season and plays as them against today's NBA right?

Apparently G2A dont give out the keys at the 25th? Went with GMG instead. A lot less shady and they got a good service with guaranteed pre-order stuff. Also had a 32% off coupon for it. :D
 
Amazon UK have decided that they won't be sending out physical copies early... after I preordered it on the PS4. FFS Amazon, too late to order elsewhere for tomorrow.

was going to say best buy is still taking pre-orders if you can pick up there.......but UK only has an online store afaik. What about GAME? as much as I hear people hate them....wouldn't doubt it if they still allow you to pre-order

I phoned up and got through to a UK support guy in the end, and he said they ARE doing Early Tip Off access and a code should be emailed out for tomorrow. It's a shame the first person I talked to on the webchat thing didn't understand Amazon's own procedures.

If push comes to shove, I'll buy the digital version from the US PSN.

Got the Jordan edition pre-ordered! Is there an un-boxing video of the Jordan edition anywhere? I want to see what the physical goodies look like.

Came looking for the same. Considering switching to vanilla but the bonus stuff seems like a good value honestly. I do have my fingers crossed that the codes are individual codes, i'd dump all the Jordan jerseys and stuff to some sucker for $. Yes he's the GOAT but every kid online gonna wear 23..

Which reminds me I need to see if Best Buy is doing a midnight release.
 
I made it halfway through legend 2 before I realized I didn't give a fuck about mascot use anymore, especially since I hated playing with most randoms. I hope that shit isn't as much of a drag this time.
 
The server problems stopped me from ranking up online, so many time I lost my progress when I went offline, expecting the same once again.

highly unlikely, the events page only has halo 5 listed.

I don't even know how you guys enjoyed online with that added input delay....you had to memorize how long you held the button instead of looing at the bar....also made defending impossible because you had to slap your stick a second earlier due to your actual actions being delayed.

Anyone know if there's a app like EA Gameface where you can take a picture of yourself and upload it? Or do you have to own the Ps4 camera?

Slightly off-topic:

I tried this on 2K15 and it was such a pain in the ass. Hopefully it's a lot better on 2K16.

So it wasn't worth it?

I tried it in the NBA Live demo and it looked like a really angry version of me, but still kind of cool to see myself in a game.
 
Hell yeah I'm in!

I'm in for the GAF 2K16 community on PS4 too.

I have an All NBA2K community, If someone wants to do a NBAGAF community, I'll join.

But since everyone is not in the 3.00 beta. Im just going to create a GAF Pro-Am team (PS4), unless someone beats it to me.

Waiting for 3.00 for communities too, man I wish they'd put it live ASAP.

Yeah, I'm totally down whenever you are. I'm a balanced scorer SG all the time so I'm hype tbh

Count me in for the community. I haven't been this hyped for a game release for a long time, and not having class tomorrow will make it even better. My PSN is realwords if someone can add me to the community and stuff.
 
hey i mostly play blacktop mode do we know if it's still pointless to do myplayer with a PG still? IE in blacktop can i still be a 6-10 do it all SF or did they finally fix that bullshit? i love running point online but there was never a reason to not make a guy who's almost 7 feet to do it with last year

I haven't seen SF caps, but it seems like they're actually putting a sstop to the 7ft KD/LBJ hybrids from previous games. I think a 6'6 SG has a max speed of 78.

Player height is capped based on position so no 7 foot point guards
 
finally. hope the game works well on PC at launch. last year blacktop mode was a desert after two months, hopefully it makes it till the end of the year at least this time

Got a couple of games in early this morning before work (australia).

First impressions are presentation is top notch, they have taken it up a step all around. Some things remind me a little of NFL 2K style which I know everyone will love.

Another thing i really noticed was the player bodies. That body scanning really works wonders... Check out Lebron vs the rest of his team or up against someone like Tony parker. Just incredible what a difference it has made to players physical sizes, really great to see.

Can't wait to dig in this weekend properly!

I noticed that in YouTube footage. There's a lot more variety in the physical builds of players. Still not perfect, but definitely big progress compared to past years.

It's a minor thing, but I wish they would update the player photos to show them in new uniforms when they change team. Like Roy Hibbert and Brandon Bass are in their old uniforms.

It was extremely frustrating to get it to finish. And the final product was terrible. I took a good 15 minutes trying to do it as it kept failing until I finally got it to finish.

You really need to be in a well-lit room, as well as having the camera inches from your face to get it properly. There are tutorials on YouTube on getting a proper scan, but the ones I've seen actually spent some time to arrange their area to get the best possible outcome.

I went out and got a camera, scanning now, it says I hit 11,000+ reference points but I didn't even get to look to the right lol. I expect it to look like a ghoul when it's done.

Yea just got back, Im not even going to try and play tonight, just letting it install while I sleep.

Props to them on putting a percentage tracker though, because last year everybody thought the game was broke because it took so long
