2k seemingly has pulled a fast one on us.
The next gen version of NBA 2k14 is basically always online (or at least partially). For one, your saves, rosters,and the NBA Today features are all unaccessible if their servers are down. And since thease are 2ks patented Dreamcast Servers, this will happen a lot.
Not only that but the day 1 patch actually takes away features such as the ability to save your roster without having to upload it to their server (this feature does come back when their servers are dead).
Also their single player MyGM mode is pay to win as simple tasks like setting you lineups requires VC (their virtual currency). This is less of an issue since it can be earned via the game but still worth mentioning.
These issues (along with some smaller things like them taking away CAP and some other editing options) try to ruin what is a great playing game. I have tried to contact various 2k dudes but of course they do not respond to anything that isn't slurping them off. I made this thread so that people who haven't bought the game know and so they don;t get blindsided by things and that people who are higher up than I can try to get answers fro 2K.
Note: The game is playable offline but you lose out on a ton of features and maybe won't even be able to save your stuff and if you are you won't be able to access it when the servers go back up. I have a roster I created when PSN was down and I a only able to access it when the servers are dead.
