Welcome to FirstAccess - PLEASE READ

[Gary Gorski]

Hello everyone and welcome to FirstAccess! Very excited to bring you this year's edition as a lot of hard work has gone into the build. For those of you new to FirstAccess let me preface this with a couple of items.

1. This is a pre-launch beta build you are downloading. You may find errors or things that need to be corrected. If so, please post them here in this particular forum and I will correct them and update the builds as we head into release.
2. The game is not 100% final at this point - if you have suggestions you can offer them and they may be included. There is also the chance that the saves you create will be rendered useless because of additions or changes. Obviously once the game is fully launched we would not make any changes that would invalidate a save but before we hit that final point its always possible.
3. Mods will work in these builds

Let's get some of the early complaints out of the way right off the bat - player X is rated too high/low, the stats are off by Y, rookie Z is going to be way better... these things will all get tweaked as we go. I don't expect this to be a long process so I will try to fire new builds quickly (you should get notification in the game when a new build is available). If you want to compile a list of your roster gripes go for it but please hold on to it until a few builds in. As it is I wouldn't expect the best roster update to even be until a week or two into the NBA season. The veterans should be fine but year 1 and 2 players - there's always adjustments to be made for guys who took a bigger jump than expected and for the rookies to actually see what they are going to do in actual games that count (or if they will even be in the rotation).

Anything that is actually broken or not working properly absolutely start a thread here (or join one already on the subject) - on that note. If you have a list of suggestions I will make a thread for those. If you errors to report please make separate threads for each error (if one does not exist) so that I don't miss them. I may request your game files - if I do you will need to send me the .pbb file AND its folder and you can do that by opening a support ticket. Just click support at the top of our homepage and you will get taken there.

As always thank you for your help - by pre-ordering you will be entitled to a Steam key at launch of the game there as well if you would prefer to end up playing on that platform and do not be discouraged by bugs and errors during this process. There were some big changes that went into this year's game and I can only test so much so you might find things that need fixing but rest assured they will be. It's all part of the process. With that said, enjoy the game!
