OK lets bring the discussion in here guys. Patience is the #1 key
DISC INSTALLS
Regarding the downloading issues that some of you have been having. This is the most effective way of getting the game fully installed to play.
If you have a disc, as I did its best to:
1. Put the disc in, and do the initial load -w/ progress bar
2. Go in the game to initiate the download, then go to the PS4 notifications > downloads, and wait for the download to finish
3. When the download is done, go back in the game, and play the demo. Here is where you have to wait for the game to unpack. Could take anywhere from 30-60 minutes. Just play, learn the controls enjoy the demo (Miami/San Antonio).
There is no progress bar but keep checking after you finish the game if you can start up the full game, if you can awesome, if not its still unpacking..play some more of the demo or just wait it out. Don't turn the system off or delete anything.
DIGITAL INSTALLS
For you who downloaded digitally and the game is installing very slowly, you have to wait it out. If you can play the demo, then play it.
1.The way this works is, do this one step at a time for the best results. If you did predownload, let that finish first. IF you did, move to step 2, which is initial the main download (yes there is a 2nd one).
2. When the download is done, a banner will come up saying it's complete. Even if the progress says 10/10, it's NOT done until that banner comes up.
So again, Once it's downloaded, wait for the banner that tells you it's downloaded. Don't assume it's ready when the progress is 100%.
3. When the download is complete, the game will start an install. This will take about 20 minutes. During that time, all you can do is play the demo of Spurs v Heat. IF you are getting the Day 1 patch at the same time, the install will WAIT for that to download and thus apply it during the install. So, if you're getting the patch as well, it can take a couple of hours.
Im pretty sure there is a massive server surge and its a HUGE amount of data so its going to take some time, especially if you have a slow connection. If you can hook your console to the router/modem directly, for the download portion, you should do this because wireless takes that much longer to pull loads of data through the air.
Hope this helps. Might not make you happy, but your game isn't broken or anything, its just a lengthy process. Enjoy the demo until its done.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]
