Top Engineers Spent the Entire NBA 2K15 Dev Cycle Working on Network Infrastructure

I'll believe the online is improved when I see it. I hear this from 2k every year before the game is released, that things will be better and that they did this or that and then when you go buy and play the game you have nothing but problems.

During the year the support will say they fixed this or that online and it will be fine for a short time and then it just gets bad again. Rince and repeat all year long. 2k hasn't proved to me yet that they are capable of handling their online responsibilities. I hope they prove me wrong this year, but I'm skeptical.

We'll see on release day.

I don't play online as much, just here and there in 2k. But that's interesting, maybe whenever i cop 2k15 i'll actually get into online more.

It's funny how you can't play a private 2v2 team up in 2k14, with today's modern day technology

You're lucky if you get a private 1 vs 1 to work in 2K14, much less 2 vs 2. How it was released in that state I'll never know.

Lag in almost every game, every timeout with bouncing jerseys, input delays while making subs during timeouts, game hanging during matchmaking/synchronizing, lag during free throws, inability to play head to head with friends "server unavailable" (my friend sold his game 2 months ago, not last December, since we couldn't play eachother) ... Not to mention that the servers are down for HOURS at a time every other week. The longer I'm here, the more see this sort out of foxnews/msnbc style political theater and spin. Is your basketball game unit just an extension of 2k? I, frequently, witness mods here sacrificing their time to defend 2k while they post nothing but negativity themselves on the Live boards. I'm not a Live fan myself, but it's not hard to see and can be proven with a quick post history lookup.

So what is your deal dude? It's not like anyone said there weren't issues. Yet, you're trumpeting a conspiracy narrative just because he didn't serve up the hyperbole you do? If your such an expert, why don't you send a resume to VC. I'm sure they would welcome your expertise in all matters of gaming, basketball, and networking.

Or maybe YOU are just one of the unlucky.

Boiler, Google is your friend. This is a KNOWN problem with the game.
