banned

[fumanchu]

if you get banned, i think you can still get official rosters.....they just ban you for things relating to VC earning and spending like the mycareer and other online stuff.....heck you can still play myleague online i think....

[fumanchu]

also, the patch fixes comes in through steam so i think banned myplayer accounts can still have their games updated once a patch comes out....

[Aliean]

what does that have to do with anything? i only play my career. i dont care about the other modes what so ever.and no you cant play anything related to anything online at all.offline means they take away 70% of the games content and about 40% of that is in my career.cant customize anything on your player at all.cant wait for the ban wave to hit the mod community as that's against their Eula and Tos as well

[TBM]

Mods aren't server sided, so they're virtually undetectable. They also don't impact gameplay results, or take money out of the pockets of the developers. You have no argument.

[Rosque]

Modders won't be touched because I'm sure Leftos would stand up for modding scene because that's what's got him the job in the first place.

[iamSamke]

So many crying babies
And also modding isn't against rules, so please don't be silly.

[Aliean]

modding is against their rules go read the tos and eula.also u are altering files and that is against their rules

Modding is indeed technically in violation of the EULA. However, it's something that both EA and 2K have been pretty cool about, over the past two decades the online basketball gaming community has been around.

That's why conspiracy theories about 2K hiring people to shut down modding, and going out of their way to make it more difficult, don't hold water. If they wanted to shut down modding, it's a simple matter of a cease and desist. Much cheaper and easier than devoting time and resources to making the game more difficult to mod, or hiring people from the community to work on the game.

Funny how those guys try to legitimate their effort in stealing money from 2k... Guys, you stole VC which is an equivalency to real money. It's basically the same as going out there and robbing 2k's bank accounts. No matter what you use this money for, stealing is a crime!

[JWL3]

Apparently, they haven't gotten around to banning some people. Just finished a game with some dirtbag who jacked 3's from half court, hitting every single one. Legend FIVE level too. This dirtbag is screaming to be banned. This is as close to "press A to win" as you can get. No one is Legend 5 until at least July. I don't think I saw a single one last year in 2k15 even in September.

The "taking money out of devs' pockets" arguments are much funnier. No idea how people would like to even begin to prove that all those hackers would have bought VC if using Cheat Engine to get it wasn't possible. So... nope, they're not taking anything out of anyone's pocket. Chances are that they just don't agree with paying a thousand times for one game or grinding for a week to afford an arm sleeve. If there was no other way, they probably would have reluctantly endured the grind or quit playing the game.

And just to make it clear, I totally agree with banning hackers... from taking their hacked players online. However, I will never agree with banning them from single player stuff which doesn't affect anyone's experience but their own. As for the "well, they were connected online while cheating" arguments... well, they only reason they were is 2K's greed and VC selling tactics - that's what ties single-player mechanics to 2K's online servers and requires them to be online if they want to, say, get a ridiculously overpriced headband.

Before the "you're butthurt because you got banned" comments come flying at me - no, I'm not. I don't have the game.

The thing is, there's an online component to MyCAREER, since it utilises VC and is connected to MyPARK and Pro-Am by way of a single MyPLAYER player/account. It streamlines things and you can see why it's set up that way, but it definitely has its drawbacks, too. If nothing else, it renders a single player mode unplayable if the servers are down, or a user has problems with their Internet connection. The controversy following the shutdown (and subsequent reactivation) of the NBA 2K14 servers earlier this year demonstrate the problem with that approach.

Yeah, because if you'd have the game, you would know, that it's not so hard to get enough VC for a headband...Use the app or play 2 games and you have the VC...

If there were a means for 2K to make hacked characters an effective Overall of 1 within the player-versus-player online modes (MyPark and Pro-AM) all would be good. Taking away the incentive for hacking can defeat it.

Though, even if they were Overall 1, I suppose you might still run into stuff like this...

[Smaug]

Yeah,NBA2K16 PC version has disease called Cheat Engine..No cure has yet been found

[RazberyBandit]

Figures my buds and I ran into that hacker last night in a Pro-Am game. I guess whatever detection 2K used didn't catch everyone.

[JWL3]

My fool of a brother used the cheat engine and got banned. Now, he can't join us in MyPark for some reason or other. His newly created (rated 55) player is sent to a totally empty MyPark every time.

Does anyone know if this exile is intentional and whether or not it can be fixed?

[Smaug]

CE needs to be disabled/patched in next patch,otherwise people will continue abusing family share and start to hack again,and again,remember they can make up to 5 or 10 acc and do a family share...

So the solution is is patch CE once for all and do a final ban wawe for poeple who abused family share or disable family share for NBA2K16 in coordination with Valve...

[RazberyBandit]

Smaug - "...in coordination with Valve"

Man, if 2K/VC were to truly coordinate/cooperate with Valve and somehow manage to implement VAC for this game, things could be a lot different.

[Aliean]

loving the refund they gave me.2k devs should learn how to properly implement anti cheat instead of being completely incompetent if they want to fix the problem with cheating.also bypassing their so called anti cheat they are using right now is pathetic.must be hard to implement a reset account if you try to play the online games.

[Spree#8]

Hearing that there are still plenty of hacked players running around online, but more and more people who "exploited" that glitch that wouldn't take any VC away when you bought something with it are getting banned, probably including some who did it without even noticing and even including those who filed bug reports to 2K about it.

So... if you think they give two shits about your experience in Park or whatever, think again. It's all about VC dolla dolla billz, like most anything 2K does these days. This, though, is especially funny since there wasn't even any external hacking involved in "abusing" the glitch... it's their own fucking fault.

By the way, "patching" a memory scanner editing memory values on one's local computer is a pretty tough nut to crack, I'm afraid.

Yeah, because if you'd have the game, you would know, that it's not so hard to get enough VC for a headband...Use the app or play 2 games and you have the VC...

Not really the point I was making, but I'm happy for your headband.

And as for the PC version, Cheat Engine is just one more reason why this crap needs to be done away with. It's understandable that people don't want to deal with whole bunches of maxed out, hacked players online, but in single player modes people should be able to do whatever they like without fearing the mighty ban hammer. Everybody loses... so that microtransactions can rise and reign.

Once again, VC is not part of the single player experience. It has ties to online. It's not 2K's job to figure out why you're cheating. If playing offline isn't appealing to you, then don't fucking buy the game. It's that simple. Nobody forced you to buy the game.

so? modding isent legal either and they allow you to do whatever you want with game files.double standard much.you really need to get a clue

[TBM]

Modding and stealing are the same how?

[Aliean]

Modding and stealing are the same how?

does it matter? they don't allow modding either so what's your point? you are in violation of their tos and eula and you should be banned from the game.do you think the modding community should be an exception even tho its against their tos and eula? you break it you should be banned end of story
