Top Engineers Spent the Entire NBA 2K15 Dev Cycle Working on Network Infrastructure

Perhaps if the most played mode wasn't forced into being online only, they might be able to alleviate some of the server issues.

When I saw this thread originally I laughed because I knew it wasn't going to be fixed.. Now that I have the game my laughs have turned to tears.

I just want to play MyPlayer and the Park and I cant...It's one thing to not be able to play online games but an entire mode that takes up 85% of the damn disc and the only reason I really bought this game I can't play....at all.

There should be no excuses. We all paid money for this...It's a lackluster experience. Period.

This is like ordering a dish at your favorite restaurant, having to pay in advance the waitress brings out the wrong order and makes you sit there looking at it while you're hungry. You might eat the side dishes but the main meal that was brought out is not what you really want.

And you already paid money so you don't want to leave, so you pray the chef cooks up your dish, the dish you ordered. Meanwhile the hostess is telling you "Yea i know, sometimes the chef wants to work, and sometimes he doesn't, I'll talk to him and see if he wants to make your meal at some point this week"

Awful.

Online is in shambles right now ... same stuff for 6 straight years from a AAA title. Working in the IT field maybe I see things a little differently but I would love to meet the network engineers and see what they really know about scalability. I mean when they apparently had those guys up there for the community team up they had to be playing over LAN. Do they even do QA testing for these releases??

Now i actually believe only 2 guys worked on the online issues, and half a football team creating new ways to take more money from gamers with additional in game purchases. No reason to fix the online issues since there not profiting from it. Sad i even had to come to that conclusion, but the online experience is truly unacceptable and someone should be FIRED for telling there bossed we fixed online

You guys have no idea how funny this is.


Destiny, less than a month ago, broke every record for a launch. Most pre-orders, most copies bought that day, most people logging in at launch, most people playing in a day on their servers. 0 issues besides with MS that they had to patch later (was a MS code problem, not a server problem.)


Meanwhile, 2k sells half the copies and can't even stay up at launch, gets back up, can't even stay up again for 12 hours.


I told my friends for months I wouldn't spend anymore money on another 2k game because of their trash servers, they linked me that article, and then someone gameshared 2k with me. Still the same ****, just like I said it would be. You people who keep buying this companies games at launch are why this company gives 0 craps about actually fixing it. There was literally 4 months out of the games life in 2k14 where the parks BARELY FUNCTIONED, you could be on for 5 hours and get 2 games, and you're surprised that they can't get themselves together for this game?


Lmao. For real. Glad I didn't pay for this crap. What a joke.


edit:
The funnier thing is without turning on my console I can guarantee that myteam is up because that's their money maker. Rofl.

Played 8 ranked games tonight all lag free with no input lag. Maybe yall need to check your connections. Hope yall not on stealing that Starbucks wifi...lol. But seriously 2k should be commended. I haven't seen such smooth connectivity during release day....wellll...since never!...this post is holding up to the fire in my book.

2k is on the same path that EA was on which was the cause their downfall, thinking people will keep turning a blind eye to bull**** like this.

This is what happens when a company gets greedy. If we didn't have micro transactions, we wouldn't be having 75% of these issues. Who cares about the servers if people keep buying VC? I can't upgrade my player because I can't connect to your server? That is awful.

I'm sorry, but this logic fails. If anything micro transactions are an incredible incentive for them to get the servers working. It's one thing to get game sales, but if people are turned off by the experience then those micro transactions go bye bye.

This has always been the mode that's suffered the least. As I said earlier 2K's had **** connectivity going back to 2K9 teamup mode, but even then quick match/ranked was fine. Same for the next game. Crew was GOD AWFUL, before the first match my player blacktop had a 0% chance of working(this is not an exaggeration), and teamup was just as bad as the year before. In spite of that quick match/ranked wasn't that bad.

Played a friend across the coast tonight and the input lag was terrible. We finished the game but it was not enjoyable at all as every input was a second late.

So you must have the best connection in the world, and everybody else's connection is just terrible? That does not seem plausible. If you look around, you'll find this is widespread issue, not a individual persons connection issue.
