"One of you has data that is out of sync..." Can't play w/ friends, any suggestions?

[Gatorfan Frank]

I cannot join my friend's lobby, and every time it says "One of you has data that is out of sync." Same thing happens when he joins my lobby. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this data sync problem?

Between this and Sunset Ballers park being full, it's pretty much impossible for me to play with friends right now. WTF?

Having this problem too. Do you know if the people you're trying to join with have disc or downloaded version of the game?

In my case I've downloaded the game and buddy has the disc version.

We can't get on the same park either. When we tried he's in Rivet City that has a ton of players (40+) and I'm in one that has like 7 players present.

Same happens for me, smh.. But this happens only when I try to play with people from USA. I'm from Europe and that's very strange because I never had this problem on 2k.. Maybe somebody know how to fix it?? :/

Nearly three weeks later and I still can't play with my friends living in the UK. This makes me sad and angry.

Since the update, I haven't been able to play an online quick game. After choosing teams the meter goes up to 95% then says there are no more players remaining in the game.

Also, trying to choose "play with friends" crashes the game back to the home screen every time. Ironically, if I load my second profile, this works fine. This also happens to a few people on my friends list.

I hate playing CPU/scripted game modes so I'm pretty much SOL until 2K fixes this. I've even opened a ticket and have heard nothing back from them. I am seriously considering pursuing a refund because I can't play the modes that I enjoy.

Hopefully a community member can find a solution because I have no faith in 2K at this point.

This message has usually meant in 2k and games in general that one of you hasn't downloaded the updates everyone else has.

Yes i understand but there is no option to manually downloaf the update ..thats the strange thing bro ...you have to do random stuff like watch credits or sit on the play now optio ..ridiculous ..i really hope some one reads this who also encountered this issue and fixed it ..would be highly appregiated !!

You're talking about when the little box appears in the corner to head to the main menu to download an update? Those are the in-game live updates, and that's different than what raiderphantom is talking about.

A data out of sync message usually means either you or your friend(s) didn't install a patch for the game, as in the ones delivered via PS4 or Xbox or Steam or whatever platform you're on. Are you sure you don't have a hanging notification on your system prompting you to install a patch for NBA 2K18?

If all else fails, re-installing the game would solve it, because that would involve you needing to re-install the patches, etc.
