Not only is it one of the best looking launch, it plays like a dream. The gameplay is seamless and has the depth to keep you coming back for more. If other developers out there want to step into the genre or improve their existing sports title, then they need to look no further than NBA 2K14 on the PS4 and Xbox One. It’s taken years of development time to get to where they are now, but it’s more than paid off here. For now, this is the pinnacle of sport sims. Well, until it more than likely gets topped by NBA 2K15 that is!"
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.
