[JaoSming]

Looks like the official community site is shutting down.

Hey all,
http://community.2ksports.com/community/index.cfm

This is the official 30 day notice for the removal of the Online Community Site.

We are looking towards overhauling this experience in the coming months to bring a brand new experience to all of you. In the short term, it has become necessary to pull this site down. This will effect those of you with leagues but the long term benefit will really be enjoyed. Feel free to e-mail me or tweet me if you'd like to discuss when this is pulled down. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Booty

I suggest everyone download their uploads and any favorites before they are gone forever.....and ever.....and ever.....and ever.....and ever


Thanks to Barackafella for the heads up

Does that mean league pages are gonna be wiped-out as well?

for now, it has been already I hate this lockout!

Looks like we wont have rookies and free agents in 2k12, if this lockout thingy takes forever.

Nah, what I'm referring to are the online leagues pages in NBA 2K11.

I think we will have rookies and all players in 2K12.

[Patr1ck]

Good. Maybe they can use the extra resources towards the online experience of their games.

I think we will have rookies and all players in 2K12.

Probably not if the lockout lasts past the usual roster cutoff date.

I really hope so....

remember NBA live 99? that caused me headaches!

Hopefully they can make them hidden, but that could create a legal mess

Uhm I see. Hopefully NBA 2K12 will not be a created player fest.

...or this might happen

"NBA Live 99 shipped with 1997/1998 season rosters due to the NBA Lockout of 1998/1999 putting a hold on player movements and rookie signings during the summer of 1998. Some prominent bugs led to the NBA Live Series Center submitting a patch petition to EA Sports which resulted in two official patches which included roster updates for the 98/99 season."

"Due to the NBA lockout, NBA Live 99 featured final 1997/1998 rosters rather than early 1998/1999 rosters featuring the draft class of 1998."

Since they said they are shutting the entire site down, yea I think so.

Good. Maybe they can use the extra resources towards the online experience of their games.

C'mon man, you know they've been using the same Community Site setup for 3 years now without any changes, this isn't freeing up bandwidth or online games or anything.


If anything it has to do with this, https://twitter.com/#!/Ronnie2K/status/ ... 1956182016

On a call with YouTube/Google reps. Some exciting stuff may be in store for coming year in terms of community.

[Patr1ck]

Just trying to be optimistic. Hoping for better play online. I may end up getting the 360 version if the pc online experience isn't improved next year.

[JaoSming]

I will agree with that, that's why I'm glad owning the 360 version. My Player pick up games are sooooo much fun, even when your player sucks.

[The X]

This sucks, another blow to the offline gamer. We don't want to play online. It's no fun playing online. Hopefully they patch 2k11 so that the Google/YouTube upload work in 2k11

Agreed, I don't play online, hopefully the lockout will end b4 2k12. Just gotta hope...

[JaoSming]

2K12 is coming out on October 4th no matter if the NBA is locked out or not

That's what I'm anticipating.

Hey Jao, you still have the original 2K10 Reelmaker saved file of that one you made in Blacktop mode where you used flashing effects for the entirety of the clips?
Why bother downloading it when I can have the original, if it's still available of course.

[JaoSming]

shazam

....watching that again made me sad though.....uploading videos in 2k10 was so much fun with you, barack, bnic, hawks phan and everyone else.....then they went and nerfed it this year....

[shadowgrin]

What I meant was the saved reelmaker file itself from the game (forgot the file extension) not the uploaded one. If none, that'll will have to do. Curses you 2K.

[JaoSming]

shazam v2

Let me know if I got all the replays needed in it

[shadowgrin]

Thanks Jao. Visited the community site and it looks much better now unlike the cluttered mess it was before. Just when the site looks better it shuts down.

[JaoSming]

It looks like the uploads for the past month have finally become "searchable" by hitting recent uploads....only a few days left.

[JaoSming]

looks like it is finally going down

FYI: Community Site is going down tomorrow at 12 PM PST as promised. Make sure to manage your leagues from web for last time before then

[Jack Bauer GB]

ah man. Only just started using the video uploader in the last couple weeks.
