Open the USB and make a folder inside named PS4 (you need to use Uppercase letters). Inside that folder create another folder named UPDATE. Then, just take the PS4UPDATE.PUP file you downloaded from the provided link and put it inside the UPDATE folder. After that you just connect your USB with your PS4, and then from the Main Screen of your PS4 go to Settings -> System Software Update and just follow the instructions on-screen. PS: Make sure you DO NOT turn off the console or remove the USB from the PS4 while the update is taking place, otherwise the system may be come temporarily or permanently damaged.

NBA 2K17 is not free, however there is a free mini-game called NBA2K17: The Prelude. This mini-game allows you to create your player to compete in the MyCareer mode.

You don't play an entire college career, but a few key games that will help determine your draft status. You don't even play full games, only two 6 minute halves. Depending on how well you do, you will either play the whole game, or get subbed out. After each game, your draft status will either rise or fall, depending on how well you played. After you finish, you are prompted to buy the game in order to see where you end up in the draft.
