2K Sports is officially taking down NBA 2K14's Server down.
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.

I want to see the same people that hated on Sony for MLB the Show, do the same to 2k..
This is nothing new. I would prefer them to shut the servers down and focus mainly on the new game that's out that I AM playing.
I just love how some people do not understand that servers are not kept up for yearly releases for long especially sports games.
I just think it's crap to shut down servers on the ones that stay a yr behind,..for many reasons...if they do that they should remove 14 from stores so little johnny mom don't buy it thinking he can play online!!!! Trust me I don't support this no more then i did Sony mlb for same reasons... You got moms, dads, uncles, grandparents all will buy older games.. For kids!!!!
See everyone does it, it was nothing new.
That's ok. I'm done with that series. Micro transactions killed it for me. Was my favorite sports game. Greedy dicks.
I think shuting down the servers for 2k14 now is way too soon. If you buy a game with online play that game should be supported for at least several years imo. Of course they just want you to buy the new version every year.
