    I had to go wired(power plugs) as it was ridicolous, downloading in kbps and loads of disconnects.
    PS3 sitting beside it and was working fine.

    He's actually talking about the install not the downloading.

    I found PS4 installs amazingly quick!
    I'm assuming this is from the disk?

    Nope I had PS3 version of NBA and Battlefield , download of the game itself was fine , but then the game launches and allows you access to quick game for NBA or Campaign for Battlefield while it installs. NBA was on 16% at bout half 2/3. On 19% now. Why is the install so slow ?

    Can't see this being done tonight. To make matters worse, they were playing COLDPLAY over the QuickGame while it's installing.

    That's just cruel.

    Im reading up man and it should only take like 1/2 hour from what I'm reading. But it shouldnt be anything to do with the internet right as the game is fully downloaded ?. Going to plug it directly into the wall anyway and see if it makes a difference :/

    Now that I think about it NBA was quite slow.
    Battlefield on the other hand was done within minutes for me :confused:

    Yeah, unless it's still downloading something. Weird, though.

    There is a 2GB update which you need to unlock a load of content.

    In which case you're installing files from the HDD to the HDD, rather than from the Blu ray to the HDD where the files are copied over and installed as it goes.

    Yeah. Feels weird that this way would take longer.

    Another black mark for choosing digital...

    Although this does just seem to be the case with the upgrade packages.

    Why did we get one that takes so long to install? It's so weird.

    It is strange that it is happening, I have every demo from both the US store and the EU store, and they download lightening fast and install right away and this is just on 24mb line, not sure why it is different with game upgrades, but I know NBA 2k14 is over 50 gigs, that is a lot of data to copy, even with a fast PC. Remember that when you download a game you need twice the space, so if it is 50 gigs, you need 100 gigs free, as the download will be deleted once the game is installed.

    Can anyone recommend a good cheap headset for the ps4 that can play in game audio and also the chat audio?

    This install issue seems to be only happening with upgraded versions for some reason. On 77% now after leaving it all night.

    So I got the game for €45 euro in total, plus I have a PS3 version if ever I want to play that, but I think I'd rather have bought the physical copy for 60, which has a resale value to make up for the 15, saved and I wouldn't have to wait a day of leaving the console on to play it.

    Did anyone do the upgrade with NBA2K14 and not have this waiting time?

    On 81%. I checked how much free space I have, just to be sure. 301gb, so it's not an issue of making space. Ah sure, it'll be done in the next 3 hours or whatever, just annoyed as I had more time to play it yesterday, than I do today.
