    Be warned - 2k19 potentially broke my Xbox

    So the other day i’m playing Red Dead 2 after taking a break from 2k for about a day, and decide that i’m gonna hop back on to play some MyLeague. I put the disc in but I keep getting the message “NBA 2k19 took too long to start”. No big deal, happens a lot. Usually can be easily fixed by restarting your console.

    So I restart my Xbox and once everything is booted back up, something is immediately off: the screen is very dull and my controller doesn’t want to connect to the Xbox when I try to turn it on.

    At this point i’m thinking whatever, probably just some bull**** glitch. Unplug my Xbox and leave it unplugged while I go to the store. Come back 15 minutes later, plug it back in, turn it on, same thing happens. This is the point where i’m getting pissed off.

    I try numerous things, none of which work, until I try taking the disc out and then restarting the console. My Xbox boots back up and now I’m just getting a gray screen with nothing on it.

    I call Microsoft support, they’re useless. I contact 2k support, they’re useless. Now i’ve been left with a bricked console for the past 2 days that I have no ****ing clue what to do with. Not sure if it’s a bug with 2k or a bug on Xbox’s end that happens when you try to play 2k, but this is my warning to Xbox users that you may want to proceed with caution until this is addressed (if it even is addressed, for all I know it could be a one in a million bug that I somehow got lucky enough to come across, but I figured i’d let you guys know about it just in case)

      It's far more likely that your XBox suffered some kind of failure and the fact that you were trying to play NBA2K was just a coincidence.

        2k10 or one of the earlier ones this decade caused the RROD on 2 of my 360s. I remember getting banned from the 2K forums and OS for bringing this up.

            Been rolling with the playstation since 1996 and only my ps2 broke down once in 2008 just before COD WAW got released.

              This is what I was thinking, but I didn’t want to not say anything and then have other people mess up their consoles too

                That message used to pop up on my Xbox with 2k17(no other game, just that one).

                It never bricked my system but it was pretty annoying.

                  I mean, there are tens of millions of both PS4 and XB1 out there working just fine too. Very small sample sizes don't really mean a lot. Hardware failures just aren't that common in general. Super unlucky that it happened to this person though.

                    So I took my Xbox to these 2 dudes who specialized in fixing consoles today, and they were somehow able to get it fixed.

                    They weren’t positive what happened but they were able to fix it by moving all of my saved data onto an external drive and then wiping the console. They think that some type of bug caused 2k to corrupt my hard drive.

                    Whether that’s a problem on 2k’s end or Microsoft’s end, I have no idea, but at least it’s fixed.

                      It's the Xbox itself.

                      The same thing happened too me after playing Gears of War.

                      My primary system is PS4, I only play my Xbox for system exclusive games.

                      I went 4 months without playing my Xbox and the first time I did it crashed.

                      The past 10 years I went through four Xbox 360s and two Xbox Ones, one PS3 and one PS4.

                        Jesus dude! I’d switch to PC after all that. I had 3 360s, 2 PS3s and 1 PS4 in the past 10+ years. The only reason I had multiple 360s and PS3s was because I lived with my brother and we didn’t like to wait on each other to finish with a system to play lol

                          Yeah 360s were killing me and 2 out if 4 was within the warranty.

                          That's why PS4 Pro is IMO is the best system.
                          Thought about switching to PC but all the best gaming systems are expensive plus updates.

                              RROD is cause by overating, not use from a game. It's been like 10 years and you still never bothered to look up what RROD actually was...just blamed 2k...
