I'm not new to Illustrator and I've already done some research.
I'm unsure why my problem is occurring and it's more or less a convenience issue.

When I am using the pen tool in Illustrator CC, a preview of where my line is and where my point is being dropped doesn't show up until after I've made the drop.

Unsure of exactly how to word that any better other than a preview guide of my path and hover point before clicking.

I have already tried hiding/showing edges as well as dipping into preferences to enable rubber band (but it was already enabled).

Have you tried resetting your preferences?

From the Adobe Help Site:

Reset all preferences to default settings

Resetting preferences can be helpful if you are having problems with the application.

Do one of the following:


Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Illustrator. Your current settings are deleted.
Remove or rename the AIPrefs file (Windows) or Adobe Illustrator Prefs file (Mac OS). New preferences files are created the next time you start Illustrator.


note: It is safe to remove the entire Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings folder. This folder contains various preferences that can be regenerated.
