Live is lurking in the 2K boards? Shouldn't they be trying to ship a passable game instead of trolling 2K boards?! 😏

I don't think he meant that literally, haha. It's an internet meme that helps describe situations where things go unbelievably haywire.

Has anyone been able to download a roster, edit it, and save it locally on our PS4 (or XBone) hard drive? Every time I try to download a roster to edit it says no content found BUT I download that same roster to use during Quick Game...

Any help would be great fellas! Cheers!

Serious question - has Take Two had any games that had a great multiplayer/online mode with this many people that has gone well? I don't mean one on one type games, I mean games types where there's at least 6 people interacting in the same server/game?

Starting to think this might be a bigger problem than just 2K. If you compare Take Two to other big name developer/publishers, there's very little history/experience with large scale online gaming.

GTA 4 and Red Dead Redemption comes to mind.

I don't remember a ton of (Day 1) connectivity issues with multiplayer modes / death matches in those games, on the PS3.

GTA 5 Online was another story tho. That was very problematic.

This is actually a good question and not a veiled slight. I don't know. Can't think of many really good games that didn't have rough launches. Can't think of ANY that didn't crash and burn without a beta.
