Thinker, use your powers of thinking. Just because you can google people complaining, does NOT mean they represent the masses. It's certainly the POPULAR problem. I sure hope you're not one of those people that lets Google form your opinions.

So, tell me where in my post do is say there is no problem?

Exactly the first thing that popped in my head when I saw the title of this.

Nobody should be excited about this. Thankful if it comes to fruition, yes, excited with anticipation, no. 2K has had connectivity issues going all the way back to 2K9. This was the game where the the (then) newly introduced teamup mode had a less than 5% chance of getting started, and that was with a MAX of 6 people, from there you were lucky if you played a few minutes. Net connectivity was god awful, even regular quick matches were bad. Every online mode of every 2K basketball game has been TERRIBLE since (I decided to skip 13 and 14, so I can't say that with first hand certainty, but from everything I've read, and people I know it's been more of the same.)

There' no way that they didn't know this has been an ongoing problem FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS. After all that time they decide to get 2 guys to fix it? Think about how silly that sounds. What's been going on for the last 6 years? Ignorance, incompetence or indifference? What combination of the 3 is it because those are the only 3 options here.

I can already anticipate the "dur, well would you rather they do nothing?" reply. Save it. Of course this is better than nothing, but 6 years and 2 guys is embarrassing for a company that's a leader in sports gaming.

I think their primary target for improving their servers is all about vc and online saves the online gaming comes second priority but i beleive it would be better this year

They just need to add a robust filter system.
