My whole experience with NBA 2k14 has talked me out of buying anything from 2k in the future unless all this crap is out of it. It's been a joke.
My first playthrough was good. I was really enjoying MyCareer mode despite a few bugs and silly things. You get called into the GM's office once every 5 games or so and everytime I say everything is great, I get the same bugged cutscene where the GM cuts himself off while talking about playing me at 2k. Fine, I can live with that. Even the really slow method of upgrading your player because it needs to save your VC balance to the 2k server after every little upgrade I can deal with because the core game is so fun.
Then my save corrupted, including the uploaded one on PS+. Shit happens, especially on a launch game on a brand new console, so I'll suck it up and start again... That's when the wheels really started falling off. The following occurred:
- All the VC bonuses previously earned throughout MyCareer can no longer be unlocked in the new career, meaning I can't upgrade my player. Can't even buy a suit for draft day because I don't get that 2000 VC bonus for the rookie game
- Internet cuts out mid-match and it boots me back to the menu. No grace period or anything, as soon as the PSN was signed out, the match ended
- All the cutscenes are unskippable, even the long ones that happen by default, making it a chore
- It doesn't matter what the coach says about my minutes, I'm getting 28 a game no matter what. Even if I fail at his ridiculous expectations and get called into a meeting
- I found out you can get VC bonuses by using a phone app... But it's broken, I got the daily VC bonus once and now the app says I'm locked out of it for 30,000+ hours and the NBA results predictor doesn't give me credits either
- Even if I gave up and decided that 2k won and I'd give them money for their stupid fucking currency (I wouldn't), I can't because it's a US game and I'm on a UK profile
- All uploaded video is silent JUST IN CASE copyrighted music is playing
I'm done. Quite frankly, I'm glad to have the 70GB back rather than deal with they way they've done this. No hope at all for the WWE game now.
