But as it seems that perhaps a smaller segment of gaming journalists are sports and sports gaming fans, that debacles like this get largely overlooked and go virtually unnoticed, except by those like us directly affected by it. If next months Call of Duty or Assassins Creed released with similar issues, it would be front and center on every site and discussed on every podcast. With NBA 2k being arguably the biggest sports franchise currently on the market and one of the most popular titles released yearly, why does it deserve less scrutiny and in turn, we as consumers, less respect?
I thought the scrutiny they received last year was pretty much properly proportional to the product. It's the biggest sports franchise, but I feel it may still pale in comparison to the likes of Call of Duty, probably by a long shot, so if COD were having those same problems, it'd make sense it'd create even more of an uproar. 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
