Since the lobbies wont be back, Friends List, is the way to go , cuz you know if, you is a SIM player, ppl you play with, if its lengthy on you list, shouldnt be know problems, Im a heavy League, player, and Online player, that doesnt mean , i should subject myself, to playing CHEESE, With these ,Quick
matches

Too much Cheese, you got to cut thru, And once a month, you will find a good player, out of quick matches, You ask yourself, is it really worth it, All that Drama, to play, with SIM MINDED PPL, who just was play realistic, Good Basketball, on the virtual courts, Now is not the to say, I wont test it, its not fun anymore, I play on my FREINDS List, or Good League

I'm pretty sure EVERYONE is aware of their ongoing server issues. I was simply pointing out they were still having MAJOR server issues well into December, that's all. I report news, don't get it twisted.

It's obvious he hasn't been here long and he makes the most ridiculous assumptions based off of not much at all.

Won't even get into how this is the 2nd time he's been owned by someone like you and czar for it. Smh

Not sure if it's been talked about yet, but will we be able to share created players this year?

We all, know that that the Servers is shakey, when the new game drops, But it also got a lot to do with, with the two opponents connection too, Yea, we blame the servers, but if one is on WIFI, and the other is Hardwired to the modem, what percentage the game is going to hold up, to be completed. ask yourself.

And the servers is bad at times, and i also completed a ton of 12 minute qtr games, and League games. But the servers need more stability, like the other company, Thanks

Madden15 has lobbies..... just saying. 2K online really needs lobbies once again.

The lobbies in Madden 15 are dead, no one uses them anymore, and its seems like they try to hide the lobbies in Madden 15 to less people will use them.

We are confident that it's way better than it ever has been before. And then we ship, and that's the true stress test," said Jones of NBA 2K15's online infrastructure

So as I understand it, after the studio rewrote the game's matchmaking logic, we are going to BUY our way into their production STRESS TEST for $60, BEFORE we even know the long standing server issues are actually fixed and tested (by their pre-release stress test), instead of them releasing the DEMO (no demo to be released), which includes a head-to-head online matchup option, to test the "stressed" servers.


I don't understand that decision especially since the biggest money making games beta test their games to the general public before release to work out the last of the bugs before release.

Personally I will STILL be buying both NBA games at some point and keeping both on the same short lease, but not releasing a demo after a major code re-write as stated in the interview, does not bode well for that particular fix. Everything else 2K has released about the game seems to rate anywhere from great to somewhat amazing to integrate from one year's release to the next, except this one BIG thing.

Hopefully they have worked also in bringing back the 'old school' Online Leagues (2k11-like) with all those admin and customization options... that and servers stability is all I can ask for...

Have a great hoops season guys!!! ;-)

A demo would not be a proper stress test as it would not even closely represent the load on release day or release week. Anyway they have software that can simulate load, they probably tested it that way.

Great news. I play online 90% of the time so the servers usually effect if I can play 2K or not.

Re: Top Engineers Spent the Entire NBA 2K15 Dev Cycle Working on Network Infrastructu

I'll believe the online is improved when I see it. I hear this from 2k every year before the game is released, that things will be better and that they did this or that and then when you go buy and play the game you have nothing but problems.

During the year the support will say they fixed this or that online and it will be fine for a short time and then it just gets bad again. Rince and repeat all year long. 2k hasn't proved to me yet that they are capable of handling their online responsibilities. I hope they prove me wrong this year, but I'm skeptical.

We'll see on release day.

Re: Top Engineers Spent the Entire NBA 2K15 Dev Cycle Working on Network Infrastructu

I don't play online as much, just here and there in 2k. But that's interesting, maybe whenever i cop 2k15 i'll actually get into online more.

It's funny how you can't play a private 2v2 team up in 2k14, with today's modern day technology

You're lucky if you get a private 1 vs 1 to work in 2K14, much less 2 vs 2. How it was released in that state I'll never know.
