Is Play With Friends broken?

[Nodima]

Honestly I've never used the mode before so maybe I'm just missing something obscured in the bizarre format 2K's used for this year's edition but we've been jumping in and out of each others' 2K Lockers for fifteen minutes trying to start a simple versus game before we finally gave up. Again, I've never tried to directly play a person before so maybe I missed something, but we jammed on our start buttons, pressed every other thing with an icon on it our controllers could handle and the only thing that did anything was either looking at our friends lists for further invites (irellevant since we're trying to play a VS game) or leaving the lobby and canceling all invites.


What the **** 2K?

One time right when I joined the room it said "Press (start symbol) to advance" in the bottom right corner but quickly disappeared once mine and his names loaded in the brackets on top, before we could even move to the VS option.

Buddy, you and I are in the same boat. I finally convinced my brother to buy a PS3 so we could play Online against each other and this same crap happened to me yesterday as well, step by step how you just described it. It was my first time trying to play a friend straight up and the same thing with the "start" or "advance" button happened to me where it dissapeared on me. Hopefully we'll get some guys up here explain or help us out...

Sometimes when you invite a friend to the locker room for a VS match the start button wont appear in the bottom right hand corner. You gotta back out and try again until it appears. You may even have to sign off xbox live and sign back on and send an invite again to get it to appear. It's a pain. Worst online game I've ever played.

Re: Is Play With Friends broken?

I've tried all of that, the start button appears but when I hit start it says starting game and never starts

Oh I see, im not sure about that one. I can get the game to start when I play with a friend, now finishing a full game, that's a different story.

Re: Is Play With Friends broken?

Yup it has basically ruined my my weekend : ( ..I to, only play against a buddy from New Jersey and we usually play three or four 12 minute qtr games on the weekends, but we cannot get an online game started due to the start button disappearing

Seems like if something goes wrong on the weekend with 2K online, they have nobody working to trouble shoot and fix the errors ..terrible !!

It's been doing this since yesterday as far as I know

Re: Is Play With Friends broken?

This game causes me so much stress smh

Re: Is Play With Friends broken?

Yes it is broken but me and my friends figured how to fix it. You have delete all of your 2k files, the game data, the patch and your user profile. Once you do that put 2k in and you will have a start button again.

It is a pain in the butt but it works.

Re: Is Play With Friends broken?

now 2K supposedly checks these forums all the time ..right ?

Can someone from 2K please respond to this thread and let us know you are aware of the problem and when it might be fixed ?

Thank You

Re: Is Play With Friends broken?

Has anyone been able to play at all? This is pretty ridiculous and stupid. If the only way to get it working is deleting all your 2k files including your profile and patches, im sorry but at least im not doing that. Ive worked too damm hard with my roster and all to just throw it away because 2k is taking a vacation and not fixing this
