Yeah, my connection nearly doubled in upload/download speed because of them. Just plug them in and your good to go.

I am finding them brilliant so far especially with the speed of downloads

Don't think many here actually use the consoles' PSN store but the second season of Powers is up on PSN for plus and it works here.

Yeah surprised it's working in Europe, first season was only free in the US. Much better than season 1

Indeed. I saw season 2 was there but no season 1 so why bother.

My friend lives in a more rural part than me, so he gets 2mb internet. So he brings his PS4 in when we are going to the gym to download his updates and games :pac:

In all seriousness, what's the story with this NBA install? I've never heard of a game taking so long.

On the main ps4 main, highlight nba and press options button and go to information. That will show of the game is still actually downloading. I think once 15gbs ate done, you can play that one game but can't play the rest until another 35gbs are downloaded.

About those home plugs in that Argos link, is it as simple as plug n play? As long as it's plugged into the socket it'll transfer the signal fine?

Once you have relatively modern house and wiring it should work fine, some older houses they just plain won't work ...

Currently have the TP-Link 4220 kit, think they're the same as those? Have those set up for wireless as well and have them connected via Ethernet to the tv. Afaik, house was built round round 99/00 so I think it's fine? Not sure...not a clue of any of this stuff

The game has been downloaded since yesterday evening. But when I start it a 'copying game' message appears in the corner. It's at 44% now. It's only moved 11% in the past 10 hours. I can still only play the demo section at the start. That can't be normal...?

Jesus NBA is in depth. Im going back to NBA Jam :pac:

Im glad we got NBA but its the worst type of game to get.

Large in download size and the download cant be paused. 40+ hours remaining and i wont be able to play any online games in that time.

Tomagotchye

Played nba all night. 6 hours in my coach has decided that I have reached a level of fair performances at the rockets. I had played maybe 30 stinkers of games in a learning curve of trial and error.


I am loving this game now the **** story has been skipped.

You can pause any download, be it the game itself, application data or updates, wait till Battfield gets a a Plus release, thats 74 gig.

It is still downloading the apllication data which is 46.5 gigs.

Not sure i can, its a 7gb initial download. After that i assume it continues in the background and not in the download list.

How do i pause those types of downloads?

You download the inital game first and then it starts downloading the application data, it should be in your download list in notfication, just press X to pause it.

Do a network test and then go back and start the download, it should fix it.

Actually I'm not sure you can. Once the initial download is done, it's all background application downloading then. It was after this release that sony brought in the feature of showing the app data download in the notification area. I thought it would apply to all games but maybe just ones released since that update. I had uninstalled it and noticed the same issue reinstalling. Even with 50gbs, took it's time.

The end of the 1st season which i think is just half a season anyway. Season 2 is like when story ends and proper career starts.

Yeah 8 games as a rookie with pointlrss cut scenes after each game. You can skip them if you want and then you start your first pro season with a new team.

I might look up about my new found rockets team to see if they can actually pass in real life or if the selfishness is just fictional...

One thing that the game doesn't tell you but makes a HUGE difference is team chemistry. Try build that whenever you can. When it's low, they won't pass much (not a big problem of play point guard) bit a much bigger crime is how bad they play. Give then a wide open pass under the basket and they will miss a layup. Happens way too often to a point where you just want to move team but then you will be staying am over again. Getting your team chemistry over 80 will make ye play a lot better and make the games a lot more enjoyable.

I'm in 4th season but my team Knicks are still shyte. I won the champs with the Bulls last season and said I'd try a new team. ... wish i stayed.
