How many years in a row have they said this? I have no confidence in the NBA 2K team when it comes to making online work properly.

DId you even read the reason why he said it was broken? he said, that they wre using old old coding since the dreamcast days. it was fine up until 2K9 when their sales spiked and they had alot more people playing online. They tried to tweak that in 2k10 and it didnt work. He basically said they had to redo the whole way it works and thats why it will be fixed for 2K11.

We still have to see it working correctly, but he gave the honest truth on why online has been screwy the last few years. When they doo all their internal testing everything works, but when they get 100,000 people on the servers, it just chokes the connections because not enough bandwidth can be let through. Its the funnel thing. Slows down the flow.

At least thats my interpretation of what he was saying. I could be wrong

Yes, and that is exactly why I don't have much confidence. They are still using netcode from the Dreamcast era? Come on, now.

That very well may be the case. It does explain a lot because 2K's code is very unreliable. Play a game like Fight Night 4, and experience how fluid it is and you will see 2K just fails there.

They kept using it because it worked and since they are having problems with it they are changing it.

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

Weren't they supposed to change the coding this year though?

Yes.

From the OS Hands-On Preview:

Quote:
There were a ton of problems that were associated with the online modes in NBA 2K9. Thankfully, the developers have focused on this portion of the experience -- they have rewritten a bunch of online code in an effort to try and make sure the online portion of the game works smoothly from day one.
Obviously whatever they did didn't work. Why should I be confident this will be completely fixed this year again?
