This is 100% complete BS.

incredibly bad PR and planning. And their response comes off even worse: smug and dismissive of people who've invested hundreds of hours in their product.

I'm going to take some time off from 2K products.

This, combined with the horrible patch they released for 2K15 that made that game unplayable, will now result in me buying 2k16 used. I'm not gonna lie and say I won't buy the game. I love basketball and I don't like Live, so I'm getting 2k16. But im getting it used. So 2k doesn't get my money. They don't desevre it.

I never spend a cent on in-game stuff like VC in 2K or FIFA points/coins. It's useless. I have more fun playing with what I've earned rather than with what I bought..even tho I barely had enough to buy 2K15 and FIFA 15

Re: Despite Promises, NBA 2K14's Server Shutdown Forcibly Ends Careers

At least I have peace of mind that 2k15 MyLeague won't get slammed like this.

I'm not an every year purchaser of an NBA game (I don't particularly care for the brand, I just want something that represents basketball for every couple of years), so knowing I may not be able to use the game's career mode down the road is disappointing.

I doubt there's any legal action to be had here, for those bringing that up - most online EULA's state that they reserve the right to retire their service at any time, and I'd be shocked if 2k's didn't. So even if their support said you'd be able to play them offline I imagine they could just fall back on that EULA legally. Sure doesn't make for very good PR, though.

As always, your choice is whether or not to buy the game next year if you don't like their practices.

Spending money on vc to begin with is lazy and giving them way more money than they deserve. At the same time if you buy a service they can't lie to you about it and rip the service away from you

Forget about the VC, what about all the time spent grinding for badges and building up your guy in My Career this year?
