[RyanLaFalce]

Judging by them dodging my question, online leagues haven't been fixed.

I'm finally happy offline association gets the mode its fans have been asking for on OS for quite some time now, but lets not get things misconstrued here, YOU GUYS ARE NOT the majority and never will be when you break down the demographics of folks that play NBA 2K.

Cool. Could you tell me how exactly you came to that "5-6000" number? What data did you use to quantify it? Do you work for 2k? Because it's either inside knowledge or an uneducated guess.... My money is on the latter.

LOL. Where did you get those BS numbers? 5-6k. I have access to the internet and Live and PS+ and I have no interest in a online league. There are also millions who own current and next gen systems who dont even have Live or PS+.

48 million people have purchased Live (total number not current subscribers) and over 80 million Ones and 360s have been sold. So at the most 45% of Xbox owners dont have an internet service and arent interested in online play. AT BEST.

I hope that we can get more data about online leagues apart from that short info.

Doesnt this answer your question:

"However, for those wanting to play online, we have added requested functionality to Online Leagues as well working heavily on the stability of the mode. NBA 2K15 has benefited from lessons learned last year, improved online support both from first party and internal changes, as well as a full QA cycle on the mode."

Awesome initial announcement!

80 years? Holy hell. You know what would help with that? Yep, the same thing I preach for every sports game. Expansions, relocations (ability to edit teams from top to bottom; jerseys, colors, logos, etc, including current teams). But that may be a lost cause.
