Fix the SERVER PLEASE

[esinrada]

I have been waiting months for this game and can't get a FRIGGIN connection. Come on 2kSports. We're rooting for you but this is ridiculous. I took a day off work tomorrow to play. But doesn't look like I can. COME ON PEOPLE!!!!

[tarheel32]

wow a day off work, you must really love to play the game.

[esinrada]

My favorite game of all. Poor me.

[CameronKrazie86]

Dumb thing won't work for me now either. I played six games in a row, worked fine. Now I can't connect to a game, just unregisters right before tipoff. WTF is the deal?

[xAndrewWx]

This is happening to me too... I got to play 2 games earlier... and thats all... i really hope i just didn't spend $60 on a game thats gonna do this to me...

[CameronKrazie86]

Unforunately it appears you are not alone. Pretty weak that we can spend $59.99, wait through all the game delays, and now not even be able to play online.

[xAndrewWx]

Not only that... wait for the **** push backs too... i had a pre-order on this game when it said the realease date was in the beginning of november... and this after waiting that long, this is how it turns out!

[CameronKrazie86]

Yeah no kidding. Its epic that a game as good as this would have this much trouble connecting to a game.

[xAndrewWx]

you'd think someone from 2k would be reading the forums and maybe answer us or something

[CameronKrazie86]

Yeah I wish. I posted several times about wins/losses not counting for NBA2k6 360 and there was never a response given as to why that happened. I'd be pleasantly surprised if this got a response as to what to do. I'd suggest emailing Tech Support, thats what I did. Hopefully I'll get a response within the next 2 months.

[xAndrewWx]

nah... i'll just return the game tomorrow or something... play other titles that want to work... if they'd give people answers i wouldn't have a problem with waiting at all....

[NextLevel360]

Don't hold your breath, I heard the 2K Tech Support responses were delayed another 5 months ;)

[xAndrewWx]

just think its a bit ridiculous to be paying $60 for a game anyways... and it makes it even worse when it doesn't wanna work for you!

[NextLevel360]

Settle down already, they will get this problem worked out. It's the first day the game has been out on a brand spanking new console.

[CameronKrazie86]

I'd have no problem with this if it were a launch title. The whole point of me buying this game was to play online and I can't do that. I spent $59.99 for a glorified chatroom right now, its ridiculous.

[xAndrewWx]

Next... i wouldn't have a problem with it... if they wouldn't have put a realease date on it for november something... then wait all this time... and the online doesn't work... and its not just the online thats screwing up... theres a few other things...

[NextLevel360]

It'll be OK I promise. The sky is still blue and you'll get plenty of enjoyment out of this game if give it more than 6 hours.

[xAndrewWx]

double those hours.... but hope your right...

[esinrada]

I emailed tech support last night. Let me say something before I completely blast a company I once believed in so much.

First off, your following in the world of business, depends on your customer satisfaction. Period. I'm all for the concept of "down with EA, 2k is the only company that gives gamers what they want." HOWEVER, while I do realize that this game is only a few hours old, it would have gone a long way for them to make me feel that they actually give a flying you know what about me as a fan of their games, if the tech support scrub- CHRISTIAN- hadn't emailed me twice only to ask and tell me absolutely FRIGGIN nothing.

First question- Is this the only game you're having problems with? Are you able to play online with any other games.

First off Christian, I'm 31 years old. I've been on Live since it first launched. DO YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PROBLEM WITH MY XBOX AND A PROBLEM WITH YOUR NETWORKS????

So once I waited 1/2 hour for him to respond to my email. I sent the answer "yes, I can connect on every other game." I waited another 1/2 hour for him to come back with this one.

"What's your gamertag."

Now if I'm telling you that it's obviously a network problem, what the **** good is knowing my gt gonna do to anyone who's actually trying to fix the problem.

But that's not it people. How about this one. Instead of responding to that email with something to let me know they were working on it (which they are not) my boy Christian went home for the evening. Granted it was 6pm EST but in my job, if I put out a product and start getting calls the day of it's release about major malfunctions.... well that's what we call working overtime YOU FRIGGIN SLACKERS!!!

Here's the problem 2k- let me tell you fellas a little something about this little world of business. All of the people who love this game, went out and picked up a copy yesterday. We didn't give a **** what the reviews said- averaging 7.5 by the way- we love the game so we picked it up. Now, some of us were able to play online but soon everyone was getting the same error message that I was trying to get fixed at 5pm EST. You all are on the west coast so it's only 2pm there. Instead of feeling some sense of urgency about my problem (and understand that I do realize that I am the little man), you all subjected me to completely useless email correspondenc. Basically, you wasted precious time.

So now, what you've bought with that time is all of the fans of the game, ****ed off and unable to play a game they've waited months for, are in the forums saying what bull this is. Now you put that along side of the ****py reviews you all received for the game (which by the way, you should have known were coming since you all receive ****py reviews for putting the best bball game out, every year.) So now, all of the people who were on the fence about getting the game are saying "WHAT THE **** FOR???"

So essentially, in trying to get you all to fix a problem that most games have on launch so that it wouldn't kill my favorite game, you all have done just that. Let's go ahead and thank your horrible customer service and tech support teams..... and let's not forget my boy Christian. TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE WAY TO DO BUSINESS FELLAS.

Your VERY disappointed biggest fan,

People, don't give up too quick on this great game. I'm having problems connecting online as well and getting disconnected before the game starts. There's an immediate patch coming soon to fix this screw-up (yes, it is a game issue -- not the server). So, don't return it and instead play Legacy mode offline and hone your skills. I'm guessing no later than Friday the patch should be out and we have all weekend to play this game online.

[Dprimetime21]

this is ******** if its a game related y didnt that fix it before it was released. they need to call me for a job so i can test their friggin games!!!!!!!!

[NextLevel360]

I've played 4 games online today and absolutely ZERO problems connecting. Evidently it was a one day problem, so people can stop whining about it already.

[CameronKrazie86]

I just tried 10 minutes ago. Its not just a one day problem. I tried connecting to three more different players and it wouldn't work.
