Here is a repeatable method that lets you play NBA 2K18 The Prelude as many times as you want, instead of the current way, allowing you to create and try out multiple player builds in MyCAREER. As of this writing, we can 100% confirm it does work (Xbox One). Here are the instructions for both Xbox One and PS4:
XBOX ONE
1) Click on NBA 2K18 > Press Manage Game
2) Click on your gamertag > Press Delete from everywhere
3) Go to Settings > Network > Press Go Offline
4) Load NBA 2K18 Prelude
5) On the NBA 2K18 Prelude Screen, Press “Begin MyCareer” but only Press Cancel
6) Go to Settings > Network > Press Go Online
7) Wait a little bit until “Begin MyCAREER” or “MyPLAYER” loads up (instead of the connect/cancel popup), and you should be able to play it again.
PLAYSTATION 4
1) PS4 menu > Settings > Application Saved Data Management > Saved Data in System Storage > Delete. Look for “NBA 2K18: The Prelude”, press option and then delete it.
2) Go to Network > Connect to the Internet and uncheck it.
3) Start NBA 2K18 The Prelude and you should be able to play it again.
Or just press y to mange files. You can have up to ten restarts.
I’m an Xbox One user and this still works. It took me a few times to start the game when offline, but it eventually loaded and I was able to start all the way over. Also, my overall rating didn’t go back down to 60. Certain badges were gone but some stayed that were maxed out, like Bronze Defensive Stopper and Bronze Dimer.
Tried on Xbox one and it’s not working it worked yesterday though guessing they sorted it now :(
Yo, what if i confirmed my gmail on my 2k account? Can I still delete it and play it using other email accounts?
I tried it on xbox and it worked for me. May have to clear reserved space too.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work, they detect I already played it and say Ill be able to play it again on 2k18 :(
