NBA 2K16 Pre-order Incentive Lets You Own The Game Before Release Date

4.7

2K Sports really wants you to preorder NBA 2K16.

The sports publisher is offering its flagship game four days early — the full game, in both disc and digital form — to those who preorder the game from a North American retailer participating in the promotion. (GameStop is one).

Doing so guarantees a copy of the game in the buyer's hands on Sept. 25, which is the Friday preceding the game's Sept. 29 launch date. Preorders also come with extra virtual currency and items used in the game's career and MyTeam modes.

The pre-order offer is good for all versions of the game: PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

The NBA 2K series has had significant problems with online features for weeks after the game's launch over the past few years, in some cases affecting offline career modes of play. 2K Sports recently promised online features for all editions from NBA 2K14 forward would be supported for 27 months after their launch date.

NBA 2K16 has brought in Spike Lee as a collaborator on the game's superstar career mode. The annual series usually reveals its upgrades and additions after E3.

DeluxeHazard I wish if you preordered a game you would actually get the game a day or two early. That would make more people want to preorder games.

Makes more sense too, People who pay before the game is released get a benefit.

This is a great idea, huge reason to pre order then imo.

Pool Hate pre-ordering games because most of the time its never finished like FIFA 15

FIFA 15 is in Beta still, we knew what we were paying for man.

I really don't see the interest in sports games. Just go out and play the sport IRL?
