Server outages are not uncommon on launch days, but players expected the developers to have learned from past experiences and invested in robust server infrastructure to handle the anticipated surge in players.

While server issues can occur, the lack of acknowledgment or communication from the developers exacerbated the situation.

Players feel left in the dark, with no information about when the servers might be back online or if any workarounds is available.

08:01 am (IST): NBA 2K24 players report that the servers have been down or experiencing issues for hours (1, 2, 3).

05:03 pm (IST): Some players have continued to report server issues that kick them out of matches in recent hours (1, 2).

08:47 am (IST): It seems that the server issues were fixed as related reports stopped appearing hours ago.
