In a unique but welcome strategy, fans who pre-order NBA 2K16 from participating North American retailers will receive the game Friday, September 25 - four days before the street date of September 29. Along with getting the game before the general public, pre-orders will also receive 10,000 VC and a select MyTeam package. (

The Early Tip-Off Weekend (as NBA 2K bills it) appears to have two primary goals. First, it is a counter to EA Access in allowing fans to play the game before street date, this time without an hourly or feature limit. Second, it is an enticing pre-order bonus for those who may be on proverbial fence (for several reasons) but will be unable to wait on buying once they see friends and acquaintances with the title.
What are your thoughts on the Early Tip-off Weekend for NBA 2K? Will this influence your purchasing decision? Would you like to see this copied by more titles?
