Is it false advertising that mypark and proam are inaccessible when banned on XBL

[jax01]

I just don't understand how it's possible that Xbox's code of conduct controls 2K's game modes? Yes 2K's game modes need XBL, but shouldn't the mode itself be accessible? Especially if it's a communication ban. Great, don't message anyone just play the game. What's wrong with that.

Btw, don't message anyone on XBL. You'll literally be banned if you call someone a "buttface". "Crap" is considered profanity. I had this confirmed with a tech. When that's the standard (the offendee is always right), any wonder why Trump won lol. I can't handle any more special snowflake stuff. I'll need to duct tape my mouth or cut off my hands to not type lol. I can understand reasonable code of conduct, but XBL's is completely illogical.

XBL enforcement team is terrible, can't even dispute cases or anything they need to get with times and get a phone team for their case of conduct rules, because support can't really help you if you get banned....

Naahh, you need online connection and either PSN or XBL to play those modes, not a chance its on 2K.

If anything, think about this ... that someone can kill somebody and get away with it doesnt mean that you or anyone should try it.

If someone call you out in a bad manner, use the resources at hand and make a report ... I bet most times than not, those people would be in places like here making a similar thread.

Having said that, I am not judging you, am not OK with whatever you were said by those that got you banned either, nor do I say that XBL code is entirely faultless, what I do say however is that under the current scheme, 2K shouldnt even be considered partially at fault.

Microsoft lives in a fairy tail utopian world where no one says anything ever. I had a PS4 and never got banned, using the exact same language, general trash talk. Trash talk is a foreign concept to these microsoft people probably because the only sport they ever played was Ultimate Frisbee and magic the gathering lmao. I've grown up playing multiple sports where these people would cry if they heard some of the language. The over sensitivity is ridiculous. And every game says "online interactions aren't rated E", or a simple solution is to block someone. Many games have cursing in the actual game, so it's completely hypocritical. Simple solutions.

Here's the logic - I got it straight from the tech's response that if someone got offended over "butthead" or "doo doo face", he can legitimately report you and get you banned because that's considered "profanity". Ridiculous and caters 100% to special snowflakes, it's just not a fair system.

I would think 2K wouldn't want their modes unplayable because of something XBL decided. That's something they could negotiate.

Maybe don't message random people on XBL and call them doo doo face? Is that too much to ask?

Whoa, Boss. You leave Magic the hell out of this. There's more trash talk in one of our normal games of Kitchen Table Magic than some pick up games I've played in the school yard.

Also, Secret Tech: The thinking ahead and pre-planning aspect of magic strategy operates on a similar principal as chess. Getting that skill down will make you better at 2k, and just about everything. Reading the next 4 moves of a semi random card game is a lot harder than reading "Left or Right" in 2k.

I got banned for a week for calling an opponent in Play Now Online a lil bitch. All he did was quick pause every time he scored and ran a cheesy alley op play all game. I was still able to play online though. I think this was because I don't have gold membership and access online games through another gold profile.

I am wondering if you can be banned through verbal communications in game not messages. If this is unenforceable then it maybe the way to trash talk or speak your mind to a-holes online.

So you think it's pretty normal sending insulting messages to complete strangers?

I played against a guy, who was losing by 20 and since I have turned messages of on PSN, he sent me a friend request message with " I am going to kill you mother****" You find this normal?

I find this hilarious.

Guys, I am 35 yo. I don't even care about these things. But what about if I was 16-17? You know, these things can upset someone.

Also you may need to consider different cultures. Something that can be considered salty or hilarious in a region can be considered VERY rude in other areas or even continents

This is absolutely true. I'm a PS4 guy, but even then I use a very proper tone. I don't use insults, I actually just bring up gameplay facts and let them throw insults. On the mic....I'm an *** if inebriated, but I try to not be offensive or derogatory in text.

That said, XBOX"S EULA more than likely states it can ban you for X. You need Live for 2k's online portion. So you know, that's how it works

I believe OP is talking about the communication suspension Microsoft enforces. It's not an Xbox Live ban, and with every other game you are able to play online during this suspension, but with 2K's MyPARK and Pro-AM mode it does not allow you to.

That said, I had a week suspension last year. Same thing. Messaged a guy to "pass the explicit ball, you are killing us." Last time I will do that, I'll tell you. Now I politely message them saying, "Please try and pass the ball, good sir. Teamwork is the key to victory." Don't want to get hit with that suspension again lol.

If you are going to play the insult game...live with the consequences.

Re: Is it false advertising that mypark and proam are inaccessible when banned on XBL

Over the course of having an Xbox with Live, about 8 years, I've been banned for 24 hrs, 48 hrs, a week etc at least once a year I guess.

They DO NOT review cases. You get salty kids who abuse the report button and you get banned for stupid stuff like "harassment". HARASSMENT???!!! Mute me, block me, don't play with me don't join a party lmao...how can you harass someone?

When I got a week ban for "harassing" I literally almost sold my Xbox. I only ever send party invites or messages to people who literally cheat or exploit to a point it's cheating...and even then I don't curse because god forbid an adult who pays for his system and online says a bad word lol.

Yea they have the Xbox Code of Conduct, but they're more intent on banning adults who use "adult" language than kids who abuse unavoidable glitches and gameplay exploits which btw Microsoft is against your terms lol.

Pro Tip: use sarcasm in a message if you have to send one. A simple "Good Game (thumbs down emoji + crying laughing face)" will send a cheeser into some weird rage where they curse you out...then just report them.

But I guess more on topic, it is complete garbage 2K won't allow you to play online because of a communications ban. You can play CoD and stuff like that...just can't talk. It's utterly ridiculous.
