NBA 2K must NO LONGER be "online only". That is the common sense solution to this problem.

But that means they would have to remove VC from the game modes. And lets be honest. They wont do that.

Good job OS. Many were beginning to believe the stereotype of this being an offline forum. Hope this article doesn't mean yall won't ding them on the review. Tired or reviewers overlooking 2ks server and online issues because the offline gameplay is so good. If 2k wants to make all of these modes online dependent. ...they should be judged according to that criteria

But 2K surely had their name dragged about last year. Here's one titled "If You Combined Battlefield and Forza's Outages, You'd Have NBA 2K14": http://kotaku.com/if-you-combined-ba...oud-1492456387

I'm sure you're right in saying numbers wise, 2k pales in comparison to COD, as does practically every other franchise save maybe GTA. But I have a hard time believing it pales compared to say Sim City. Now this could be purely personal and due to the sites and podcasts I myself frequent. But when Sim City launched with its litany of issues, I heard multiple outlets discussing it numerous times. Even with the disparaging problems that plagued 2k14, those same media outlets largely failed to acknowledge the outcry and issues, if at all. Again, it could be the ones I read and listen to. But if this were one day to get the sort of fan outrage that say the ending of Mass Effect 3 received, then perhaps things would be different on the next iteration. Maybe.

The problem is: The servers are not just slow or busy, they are just down. On PC MyTeam is just down - no matter what you do or try. What is 2K thinking? Its not like 10 Mio players are flooding their Servers on PC.

Yeah, you could be right. I didn't hear much about Sim City's online dependence because I'm pretty 2K-centric. I actually only heard about Sim's issues after all the fuss began to be made about 2K14's mega problems. I can really only speak for 2K, and I just recall a ton of articles (and threads on threads referencing those articles) popping up here last year, including refunds being handed up by 2K: http://www.operationsports.com/news/...rom-retailers/

The only way to approach 2k releases is to expect absolute worst. Either that or just don't buy the game at all, they have been very consistent with being terrible at first for last few years.
