So the physical copy is not available until middle of October right? I had some best buy store credit I wanted to burn but it's close to mario Odyssey if it comes out in October.

I might get FIFA instead? But I want to play with Jimmy Butler!

I just wanna know how it feels to play because The Prelude demo on PS4 Pro felt sluggish to me despite supposedly being 60fps.

They have a download code in a box version that's eligible for GCU and the $10 pre-order bonus as long as you order today. :)

Go Wolves!

The game is up in the European eshop.

Edit: 2 hours to download. Not having pre-load available is such a step back from Wii U.

I really would like to try this but my 200GB MicroSD won't be arriving for another week so I'll have to wait a while longer. Probably for the best, because I'll have some proper opinions for the Switch version.

I have a hard time seeing Nintendo of all companies allowing a game to load textures, models, animations and scripts created outside a game-provided UI.

It was a long uphill battle to convince Sony to allow it and it still came in a limited fashion (no external assets). Microsoft was the only one confident enough in their OS security to allow it (since they also allow things like Roblox).

I'm not the biggest fan of realistic basketball sims but I do like the sport and plan on buying this to support 2K. It looks quite good in motion and seems well featured too. Looking forward to getting it at midnight.

Switch to Twitter to Imgur so I'm not sure about compression. Trying to get more up but I haven't been able to get Imgur to upload since the second one for some reason.

As for impressions, it definitely looks better than I was imagining it would when it was announced. Not sure what the resolutions are. It looks good in handheld mode but there's something that feels so damn weird about playing 2K on that little screen. I've tried it briefly while docked. Again, not sure of the resolution. I've got a very bad eye for that sort of thing. I will say that it seemed kinda dark for some reason, like I needed to bump the brightness or something. That might be from me being used to 2K17 on PS4 Pro in 4k and HDR.

The game feels a bit slow to me. I'm having a hard time deciphering if it's the switch from 60fps to 30fps that feels different, or if player movement has been slowed down this year regardless of frame rate. Outside of one slight hitch that I think I noticed while bringing the ball up one time, it seems to maintain a stable 30. Keep in mind, I've only spent about 20 minutes playing.

Gonna get back to it and check on my imgur uploads in a bit.

Would have bought it for a reasonable price, but £55 has kind of put me off a bit. =/

Seems cheaper on the Japanese eshop but then I'd have to mess about sourcing codes.

I'm so torn. I shouldn't double dip but a portable 2K is... ugh.

Franchise to go? Man if the scouting was in depth, it would be a no brainer.

If that is the Switch version, it looks damn good!!! I'm very impressed. I think we will hold out for the physical version, but I am looking forward to more impressions.

Been a few years since I've last gotten a 2k game, but I'm jumping in for the Switch version. Even at 30FPS and the sacrifices it still looks damn good. The gameplay does look a bit floaty/slow though, but maybe that's how 2k has always been? I just can't remember

I've watched some PS4 gameplay videos and it seems to have the same pace as the Switch version. Looks like a design choice from 2K.

Don't think this is true. At least I hope not. I cancelled my pre-order today because I went in to check on my pre-order and they said they only had PS4 and Xbox One games in. They said it would come on the 17th of October.

No clue how OTs work really, but aren't we a bit overdue for it now that the game is officially out?
Click to expand...

Yeah that's what I was wondering too, but since the official release date is the 19th I'm guessing there won't be one for the early release for those that pre-ordered until next week.
