NBA 2K16 Release Date September 29th - Pre-Order and Get it With Bonuses 4 Days Early

No pre-order for PC version...I assume it's coming later?

I understand if you online only players are leery about a pre-order due to the myriad of issues that plague the online portion of the game, but if you're like me (offline only really) and are even 75% sure you're getting the game then this is a no-brainer. If something comes out that you don't like about the game, then you can always cancel it with a few clicks of the mouse.

2k15 was the first 2k i got on day 1, and it has been marred with issues i hated sinceday 1 and has been made worse or just flat out ignored.

- animations ruining the game
- feeling like i have no control over myplayer
- park being a lag fest and being worse than 2k14
- rec being a mess
- MYteam being a mess both in game play /lag and general structure
- Lack of a Online League that is on par with 2k13
- the fact that almost 9 months in, I STILL CANT TALK TO PLAYERS IN THE PARK
- THE DAMN SHOT METER

i be a fool to buy another one on day 1.

I've got NBA 2K every year at launch since it came out in 1999
but I won't be this year.

3 of the last 4 games (2K12, 2K14, 2K15) were massive disappointments
to me and I don't like the direction management has taken the series.

Since I'm an Online player and 2K could careless about the Online community
they've forced a loyal customer since day 1 to lose interest in their product.

While this sounds like a good deal to where you get the game 4 days early, I doubt I bite, been fooled to many times by the NBA2k team, and considering they aren't always honest with certain things in the game, I don't think I will give in this time and buy when you can 1st get the game as in years past. Going to have to be a couple changes before I buy the game at all, as I can save money and just keep NBA2k15.

Seems odd since the Street Date has been made such a big issue with sports games over the past few years, and retailers being able to get into trouble selling early. The actual Street Date that the NBA will let 2k sell the game is probably 4 days earlier than they are saying, so if you don't preorder then your just going to get it 4 days later than you could legally. Seems about how the NBA2k team does things anymore,lol.

Hoping for a good game, and I do enjoy NBA2k15, but a couple things that better be changed or fixed is that damn auto save needs a way to turn off in My League. Need to have more blocked shots, and 30 team control needs to go back to how it was on old consoles, to where you can set management decisions to auto. Also substitution patterns need fixed, up until a couple years ago they had this right, not sure why the past couple years this has been screwed up. If those things are fixed I cant see me wasting money on 16 when I can be happy with 15 for another season.

As someone who play exclusively offline association I could not care less for the VC crap and online modes.

They dont want NBA Live to get any of the big names on their covers.
