Good.

Hope this hits home ...

2k just couldnt fix crashes and bugs so those cant play so they demand a refund. 2k ignore customers a lot. Poorly done to next generation.

Agreed. It won't hit them in the pocket book now but it might cost them inventory at release at some retailers going into next year depending on how many refunds there were and how the contract reads.

Bottom line this company decided at some point going into this year that they were going to disconnect themselves from their buyers and its reverberated so badly that retailers are refunding open games and digital downloads. That in my eyes is the ultimate in failure when your middle man(especially in this industry) has to clean up your mess.

They better wise up going into next year or they're in for a rude awakening.

They gotta get rid of that always online crap. I'm sure this stuff will be cleared up when they meet with the community again this spring.

I hope so. But a part of me fears 2K will instead go the route of, "Our modes still require an online connection, but we made massive upgrades to our servers so everything should be okay." But I agree, the always-online for non-online modes absolutely must go. It is an absolutely awful idea.

I think that's why Microsoft ditched the "always online" for the XB1.

I kind of get the feeling that Take Two and 2K were anticipating it being there for the XB1, and 2K designed a game around that model, and were kinda blindsided by MS' decision.

Then again, at the very same time...the VC being literally everywhere makes a strong argument for "give us as much money as you can, k thanks."

If enough companies hop on board this refund thing, then they'll look at Take Two & 2K sideways when it comes time to order more copies of the game in bulk.

That'll make Take Two say "hol' up hol' up hol' up...what happened now...?" and MAYBE the gamers will be rewarded.

Totally agree with you but haven't they been claiming to have "upgrades" to their servers for few years now? It's almost like they were so confident about being the only basketball game for so long they said people won't stop buying our product...put it out.

They're going to realize that you can't keep screwing over the consumers with faulty servers, then nickel and dime them to death with VC while they are trying to connect to those servers.

Have been a fan of 2K since Dreamcast but if there was ever a time where it seemed a company got to full of themselves this would be it. Wonder if Gamestop is giving refunds...may have to call and see.

Walmart took the game back as well. I had the receipt from 11/14 when I bought it, and they had no problems giving a refund. The guy working the counter said that they had received several returns here recently of "broken" NBA 2k14 copies. (Lexington, KY)
