Kotaku now calling out 2K. This problem is now 'big'

[OOO]

IGN is the big dog. Hopefully they will call out 2k on this mess.

I think their issue was a partial money grab and to stop the hacking that was done with hex and reditor. But they weren't honest with themselves about backlash and their crappy servers. On Christmas a ton of gamers got the game and boom!!! Take all that VC cash and holla at COD severs 2K

With that said - we're stuck with 2K acting like unapologetic despots. They're not done flooding all of their social media avenues with machinations to quell the people who in fact eat their garbage with a spoon. When they are, which in my estimation will be in a couple of months or so, then the people who are still unhappy will be closer to a new NG title and the sting will be a little less severe. A few months later we'll be reminded of the new 2K that's in the works, and the cycle is complete. Meanwhile lots of us will still be saying things like 'Hopefully this is the year we can finally get accessory and shoe colors to be accurate. Maybe even headbands too!'

I have quoted you for truth. As much as I'd like to see another basketball game come through the ranks and do it right (i.e. how 2K used to handle themselves), I just don't see any realistic options in the foreseeable future.

I think you're right on with your second paragraph as well. I've been thinking about next year's release for a while and as a result, I've been bracing for their onslaught of lines like, "2K15 is going to make you forget 2K14 ever existed! #omgnewworld", "we had a full year to work out all the kinks and give you guys exactly what you're been begging for! #moreonlinereliance", and "online connectivity is new and improved!"

With the growing amount of skepticism throughout the 2K consumer base, I'm actually going to be kind of curious to see how people take the 2K15 hype and information releases. If Ronnie2K opens with, "Get ready guys. That's right, local roster saves are back!", are we all going to jump back on the 2K train and assume they righted the ship? Or are people going to be hesitant until the product hits the streets?

someone should start tweet spamming IGN about this ^^

Let's be real too. The actual basketball in this game is on point and the graphics are dope so the areas they need to fix are things they should be able to handle. I think the core guys care enough to not let this debacle repeat next year. I'm willing to give them a chance with 2K15 if they address this thing during the build up.

2K know how to deal with the beginnings of a controversy.

Remember few weeks ago,everyone started to complain about the VC system.
2K gave us a lockercode 10 000VC and everyone enter the code and forgot the problem.

2K will do the same , give us a lockercode and we will forget to have paid 60€ nba2k14 and we can't even play when we want.

I'm going to assume Ronnie's definition of "local", "roster", "saves", and "back" are different from mine until I actually get to see it work myself.

LMAO!! No one has forgotten about the problem, guy. The VC system is a steaming pile of **** and throwing VC at us isn't the proper way to fix it.
