NBA 2K17: The Prelude

So this was some unexpected good news.  In addition to being able to play NBA 2K17 early if you preorder, you now have the opportunity to play NBA 2K17: The Prelude.  This free demo will allow you to create your MyPlayer and guide him through his collegiate career.  You'll be able to choose(from a predetermined list) your school and begin your college legacy a full week before NBA 2K17 early tip off.  Also, player creation takes on a whole new significance as size and weight directly impact stats and abilities.

Best of all, "The Prelude" is free and will be available for download on the XBL marketplace on September 9th.  Check out the official trailer above.
