anyone else having connection problems with online games

every time I play online I get a connection error that exits the game and it doesn't even count.

I started playing the Jordan challenges last night, man are they fun.

I also got drafted to the Magic in My Player Mode. It's much better than last and although the post-game conference is just minor, it's one of my favorite features in the game.

the Jordan Challenge(s) are really cool. kinda hard tho........i am assuming that you would have to do full qtr. lengths to even come close - i have it set for 8min qtrs and its not even close

i used to connection to online games period. said i needed the updated online roster from sports2k.com (something like that) but it was temporarily down. i was able to get them yesterday tho....didnt have a problem after that

I was humbled on HOF....All star for me until I get a handle on things

And Miami Flash you are right....I love the MJ challenges

Hell, I'm so bad, I'm playing pro difficulty.
But, to be fair, I haven't played 2k for a long time.
I prefer Live's R3 for isomotion type stuff. Not a big fan of using LT and the L3 buttons.

I don't think you can change the quarter lengths in the MJ challenges so 8 mins is what we're stuck with for now....at least I didn't see a way how

mid range game feels like its been butchered, for both the user and AI.

damn playing with a team you have not practiced with can lead to horrible shooting %

The servers are garbage man. I was playing with a friend, 2 games got DC'd in the first, the third game got DC'd in the 4th. Frustrating shit.

Hopefully the connection issues don't haunt this game, cause its too good to be ruined by that stuff.

Gee we haven't said that for 2k3, 2k4, 2k5, 2k6, 2k7, 2k8, 2k9, 2k10.

Ain't that the damn truth....I gave up on this game online years ago....it's a damn shame because I love their league setup but the servers make EA's look like heaven

[Steel Mamba]

The servers didnt get bad until 2k9, never had any problems with them before that.

[FedEx227]

Really? I had problems going all the way back to 2k3 on the PS2.

It will be hard as hell for 2K to top this effort...NBA 2K11 is amazing

The game is hard, but it requires you to actually run plays this year to be successful on offense....if you're one of those long lead passes down the court and dunk players, you're assed out this year

Run plays people....I have a few double screen plays for Gallo that are SICK....go into practice mode and practice running plays

I'm so glad 2K finally gives us a chance to defend the paint this year....you will be hard pressed to try to just iso and dunk this year....even with Bron or Kobe....it's not happening

Absolutely loving this game

Do you like the new control system? Like Dave, I prefer R3 for isomotion.

I've only completed 1 Jordan Challenge, that being "The Arrival." I lost to the Cavs by 2 in OT...had all other goals completed. I find since the minutes are set at 8, I have to basically have Jordan at midcourt every play and run to my basket when they shoot. No way you can play it like a "real" game....trotting down the court takes to much time off by the time you make a basket. Going to try the NY game challenge next.

[Point Blank]

Man, Miami is a bitch to play against!

[Steel Mamba]

Man I'm not feelin this game anymore. It felt like a legit challenge at first, but that's only because they nerfed sim play and cranked up the cheese. I get easier points doing random moves with this iso motion BS (on SS sim) than I do running plays and creating space. The main issue is that ball movement is not nearly as effective as it used to be, and guys don't seem to knock down open shots unless you wiggle the stick + LT some before shooting. If you want to score you gotta iso motion. They made the game about stick skills now instead of strategy.

You can change shot to percentage instead of stick (not sure how its worded in game). Instead of how well you perform the shot on the stick, it's based on the players RL %. I believe this is true....I will check it tomorrow. This might help.
