NBA 2K14 players noticed that when they used swear words during a game they got penalized in the way of a technical foul. While sports stars are expected to be well-behaved when they are on the pitch, I find it somewhat strange seeing the same rules being applied to a videogame. While this started happening for Kinect owners in NBA 2K13 for 360, it now applies to Xbox One and PS4 users in the latest incarnation of the game. Thankfully, users have the option of disabling voice capture or detaching the Kinect and PS Camera.
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.

"My thinking is that if you can detect swear words initially, then why can’t you just censor them with a beep?"
Clearly you don't understand how streaming and processing works. If someone swears, it would likely take seconds until it would properly recognize it and perform an action. A censor beep would be 3 seconds too late
im glad they do this
some of these kids go overboard
i had a kid tell me "i swears he's gonna kill me and eat my babies" on cod
These sports games are supposed to be sims... why is it a surprise that the same rules would apply?
Also if gamers don't want this feature they can turn it off...
Personally, as a former athlete I would leave it on. It sounds pretty immersive as keeping your emotions in check is part of the game. It's much better than before, where techs would come from the cpu, seemingly at random or they were just non-existent.
Stupid.
I get it's a real rule, but some things should be left out.
I had a guy back during halo 2 days say and i quote " I used to rape guys like you in prison" It was the funniest and most terrifying thing ive ever heard during a multiplayer match... i still laugh about it to this day.. (and i totally think he meant it )
