i dont play association mode i enjoy playing online against other humans and for example 2k has offered the choice of creating or joining online leagues for quite a while now. madden started this maybe 2 or 3 games ago but they have already surpassed 2k baskets online league options. madden allows you to only only create an online league but u can play in it by yourself against 31 cpu controlled teams in 2k basketball if someone drops your league any game against them has 2 be forfiet until a new owner is found so if i only have 20 people i have 2 eliminate teams from my online league which is not realistic. also madden has 10 years of online franchise and atleast that many draft classes so even if you are stuck with the buffalo bills you can get better through the draft, 2k basketball has a one season and done so who really wants to go through a season with the clippers or the cavs when there is no hope to improve your team with trades and then there is no next year so once someone is out of the playoff picture why even continue to play your stuck madden has made these improvements within the last 3 games what has 2k done to the online league mode in the same amount of time

like i said i have given 2k my money and looked the other way while they ignored issue after issue and plea after plea about what would make the game better and in the same token improve sales and overall satisfaction i dont intend to hurt any feelings or start any beef on the forums but my thing is flaming the 2k forums has proven it wont work we have 2 let them know just like i did with madden last year that if you are not going to field our suggestions then we will take our money elsewhere and i dont expect the video game players to undestand unless they are fans of the game
I got you Blue ! Again I can't argue with much of anything you wrote. One this I can say is that from the inside they are not happy at all with the online performance of the game. So although you may not have heard it voiced know that online is not where they want it to be and they did throw an honest effort at it last year from a performance standpoint. It wasn't enough and they are again aware of that. I told them myself that when EA comes back your online is going to be a problem because theirs .... WORKS.... LOL.

From the information we have heard so far it "seems" like they are trying to touch every area of the game and tighten and polish I can only hope and assume ( I know I know ### of you and me right LOL) online will be better.
