    The instances of NBA 2K14 crashing on PS4 and Xbox One reported originally last week have continued, and seemingly even amplified, following the patch that released yesterday. While consumers have experienced crashes when playing games and in a variety of modes where the majority seem to be occurring are within MyCareer mode. For many the mode - which is often cited by 2K Sports as being the most played and arguably represents the biggest selling point of the product - flat out does not w...

    The first post-release patch for NBA 2K14 has arrived on the PS4 and is expected out on the Xbox One within the next few days. 2K Sports will only say it addresses issues with MyCareer save files and connectivity problems in the online mode The Park. Nothing on whether it will help with the crashing many are experiencing or other server-related troubles that have plagued 2K14's otherwise impressive release on the new systems. Considering the 2.3GB size of the update it would seem likely t...

    While there has been plenty of justified grousing over the lack of post-release support - both in quantity and quality - from 2K Sports in regards to the NBA 2K series in recent years one of the advertised features for NBA 2K14 was "Dynamic Living Rosters". The hope was that would bring an end to inconsistent and inaccurate updates. While the Xbox 360 and PS3 version of NBA 2K14 has gotten a fair number of roster updates (though not fulfilling all promises) the Xbox One and PS4 have yet to r...

    2K Sports has taken to social channels to announce a patch for NBA 2K14 on the Xbox One and PS4 that will be out within the next week. The update will target issues related to MyCareer save files and connectivity problems with the new online mode The Park. It's uncertain if the patch will address much of anything beyond those two things including the high frequency of crashes being experienced by a significant number of consumers. Considering that the messaging was limited to just MyCaree...

    One of the most common questions out there relating to the Xbox One and PS4 is whether there are any differences in multi-platform games. As far as sports games go on a technical level there shouldn't be - they are running at the same resolution and framerate - but that doesn't mean they are exactly the same. Continue on for my observations after having played both Madden NFL 25 and NBA 2K14 on the two consoles.  (more…)...
  • More Concerns Over NBA 2K14 Surface As Game Has Started Crashing For Many

    In the last few days there have been a large number of reports of NBA 2K14 on both Xbox One and PS4 crashing in the middle of playing games or while making progress in the various modes. No error message or anything of the sort is displayed when this happens. 2K14 just closes out back to the main menu or all the way to the dashboard and everything is lost. This would appear most likely related to issues with the 2K servers, which have been troublesome from day one becoming one of the few ...

    While more detailed write-ups will be done in the near future here are brief initial assessments of the three launch day sports games on the PS4 that will also be out for Xbox One this week. Rare is the occasion where several sports games are released on the same day so time with them has been split evenly thus far. It'll take longer to craft a more complete review for each which they deserve to have. (more…)...
