Still down?!? Anybody got news?

It's been a few weeks now.  It's getting frustrating as I don't have 2k9 yet, and lent my brother 2k7.

its total bs and wont buy any future releases from this company bc they shut off online play what a rip off

The server are shut down for good folks. I for one will not buy a next B-ball game form 2KSPORTS.

I can confirm that...it sucks!  Check out this thread.

I know it is for NBA 2k7, but look at the thread and "2k Admin Ron" posted that the 2k8 server "is now down as well".  I was ticked at 2k7 being shut down, but for 2k8 to be shut down this early in 2009 is utterly unacceptable especially given the high number of GS points that depend on online play.

NBA 2K8 is a great game (compared to NHL 2K8, which was a waste of money because of the crazy controls).
It's bad to hear that the servers were turned off. I wanted to use the downloadable content like rosters or sliders.
Perhaps I won't buy NBA 2K10 for this reason.

I agree I found my game after a year or more of a friend borrowing it.  Now I go to play online and all you can do is play a ranked game.  The online play of 2k8 was so much better then 2k9 with better lobbies and league options.  Now nothing.  2k you shouldn't drop a server just because you've got new games coming out.  It shows people still play this game since 5 or 6 of us already noticed your shut down of the servers.

so 2k8 servers are down for good? that sux, i popped in my game yesterday to play and get rest of my online achievements and i kept on getting the same message, this is bogus.... i haven't played the game in a while so this is news to me, i didnt realize that this would happen, is it because 2k9 is out??

What about the servers, are they still down? Has anyone tried it recently?

for this game they are permanently gone, along with some older titles....

apparently once a newer version comes out they close out the server for the older one, bogus if you ask me...

So the 2K servers for NBA 2K8 are gone.

How can I get the newest update file to transfer to my console?

Thanx

It's bullshit... Theres obviously a fair amount of people who still play this game... 2k games are way better than live so im never not gonna stop getting 2k but still its bs.

2k has long since stopped selling this title, no more $$$ from it, so they're not going to support the used game market for this game, it's CAPITALISM.
