2K Sports has gone too far with the VC system.
So NBA 2K14 won’t be joining us in 2016
Its ok I hated 2k14 it was complete ass. 2k16 is miles better you'd be doing yourself a disservice sticking with that old shit.
I think it's pretty sad when they do this to a two year game. But I suppose, when they make yearly releases it's to be expected. But, there are games that still have servers up. I know it's not nearly the same, but I can still play Call of Duty 2 on the 360 online and there is still some people playing. That came out in 2005. A 10 year old game is still active with the sequels also active.
I would welcome a future where sports games just released new updates/add-ons instead of releasing new games each year. Just upgrade the graphics and so on and release a new game every few years maybe.
Realistically, there probably were not enough people playing 2k14 to justify keeping the servers running. It's more practical to repurpose those servers for the newer games that more people play. I'm sure the vast majority of sports gamers moved on to 2k15 or 2k16.
FIBA 2K14 is a full conversion mod for NBA 2K14 PC, featuring international basketball teams that participated in 2015 FIBA, 2014 FIBA World Cup and 2013 FIBA.
Ultimate Base Roster is a full expansion mod for NBA 2K14 PC. It allows you to play almost 300 teams from 60 different NBA seasons from the 70's all the way through the present. Current roster is accurate as of June 18, 2015.
I agree, I don't like playing NBA 2k anymore. My last nba game was 2k12. It was better with just skill points for everything
Pay to pay model.
I'm glad that more people are starting to see this issue and call them out on it, but where was all the outrage since 2k13 ? They did it there too. I think more people have picked up 2k14 on the new systems since there was slim pickings at launch that wouldn't normally buy it so now its becoming more and more known throughout gaming circles.
Hope enough people notice and complain, and make them change it back. Hate having my MyCareer player not playable when their servers are down.......
I played 2k12 for the past two years, loved the game. I purchased 2K14 and hated it because of the VC (and server issues). I spent countless hours with 2k12, got my money back for 2k14, and I guess my basketball days are over as long as I am asked to pay "$60 as an entry fee" to play the game.
Sure, I can download the app and get extra VC, hundreds and thousands per day... but I shouldn't have to, I should be able to earn those points in game, playing the game, not having to go to my tablet every day to play the lottery, pick winners in real games, and hope for new locker codes. This game is a mess and doesn't deserve the ratings it received from the media because it is unplayable as is (or at least it is for me).

Even the app is having issues. As of the recent update, logging in has been problematic.
