Thats all i want to hear...what have they done to try to improve the servers. Its a legitimate concern because online gaming in 2k15 is terrible.

The problem is that even saying that phrase you want to hear is a bad idea.

If they come out and say the servers were heavily worked on, and should provide more stable gameplay....and then day one they crash or lag, then they have a storm cloud of bs on social media. Everyone and their mom will be posting the quote, saying 2k lied. Or 2k doesn't care about servers. Ect.

They made that mistake last year. I don't blame them for not wanting to make it again

Couldnt that apply to any aspect of the game? Yet they still promise improvement across the board...

You may also add Terrence Williams and Marshon Brooks...

[WTF]

Friggin Ty Lawson is my Kryptonite. The dude literally uses every cheese tactic in the book to have insane games every time.

If that is true and it's still lagging, i wouldn't say they are lying. I would say whatever they are doing is inadequate.

Well, the server infrastructure is probably the thing they are least able to test and simulate, relative to the other stuff.

Still, there's no excuse for their year on year failure here. Just because there are no perfect go live tests, there are simulation processes that can come close. They should have the authentication and handshaking technology interfacing with the new consoles pretty much worked out by year 3, too. Cloud technology is no longer new. They just don't invest enough in server side assets, asset management, redundancy and failover every year.

I mean, they should.

I mean, Ronnie should.

Cause it's all his fault.

So to avoid prosecution we will be safely providing you online access to 2k16 via off-shore, underground proxy servers the likes of which Kick *** Torrents have never seen." Pretty basic, i don't think that's asking to much

Im sure networking is VERY basic

Even though I don't bother with online it def. should be working even if they have to get kinks out first at some point

but then again it aint always as bad as SOME claim either
