Huge Chunks of NBA 2K15 Aren't Working Properly Thanks to Lackluster Servers
If you are having issues actually playing NBA 2K15 -- you are not alone. A casual glance at the 2K15 server status page looks like a giant down day on Wall Street with tons of red and orange flashing at you. After last year's debacle, there is simply no excuse for a game launch going as poorly as the NBA 2K15 one has gone once again. Huge chunks of the game's experience have had issues even working since launch: MyTEAM, MyCAREER, The Park, the Jordan Rec Center -- just to name a few. If you are a single player guy who is interested in MyLEAGUE, that game mode is working fine at this time. An issue which has reportedly been resolved dealt with players losing their face scans and player profile info as servers went down -- this is especially painful since the face scanning process is something which isn't exactly easy. Granted, when things do get ironed out (if they do), the game plays great and by most marks is a well built title. But one has to ask why, after so much flak last year, is so much of the game's functionality (even in seemingly single player modes like MyCAREER) dependent upon servers which have never performed well historically? For now, if you are a gamer who is on the fence about buying NBA 2K15, if you plan to play modes which need access to the 2K servers (most of them) it is probably a good idea to wait a bit to see if the problems clear up. You can see the status of the servers on 2K's website for reference. |

Could this issue be resolved by 2k releasing a demo for future iterations a few weeks from release with an online component to test their servers and have a couple weeks to iron out issues before the release date?

MyTeam is great fun without the AH and being able to buy Packs ....not! And when the Non-US Version releases later today, good luck for their Servers LOL :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

@godylla I think if they actually beta test their servers they may be better off. They do show off the game to a select few but I believe honestly to understand their server capabilities and restraints they need to form some sort of beta testing group.
I actually was able to play MyCareer last night and early this morning...I was kicked out last night once after upgrading my player but was able to immediately pull it right back up with no issue. |

More repetition from my end, as I've been saying it for the last couple of years, but why would a game go out of their way to make modes that'd totally function well enough offline, online dependent? A part of me asks that rhetorically, but another part of me wonders if there really is some kind of legitimate and logical reason, for I am not particularly tech savvy. However, 2K seemed to have little problem moving roster editing back to a local save situation (forcing roster editing to being completely online in 2K14 was insane in itself). Is there something even more technically sketchy and dangerous that'd come from having MyCareer be an offline mode until people decided to go online with it (ex: to play at The Park)? Is it something about the transition? It all feels like a vastly overcomplicated manner by which to go about the construction of a video game. I've said it before, but it's like if my toaster was online dependent. There's absolutely no reason it should affect the baseline functionality. It could affect my online toasting tendency information, but not the function itself. It's borderline madness. Online should be necessary and required only as a means to provide things only online could provide. |

Line of the article there. After last year this shouldn't have even been a thought. Maybe next year they will FINALLY learn they're lesson. If people want to mod the game then so be it, no reason to be putting us all in this position every year because we want to tie everything to 2K's crap servers. Where's my man 24th at with that top men clip? Cause that's exactly how it's looking right now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
