Welcome to this week’s edition of The Friday Five! This is a feature that I post every Friday in which I give my thoughts on a topic that’s related to basketball video games, the real NBA or another area of interest to our community, either as a list of five items or in the form of a Top 5 countdown.
In last week’s Friday Five, I talked about five players who suffered from the proverbial “cover curse” after gracing the covers of various basketball video games. It was definitely a fun topic to talk about, and I was reminded of one or two other “cursed” players in the comments section. If you can think of any other players who were hit by misfortune after appearing on the cover of a basketball game, be sure to check out last week’s article, and let me know.
I’m looking on the bright side this week, as I’m offering up a list of who I believe to be the best basketball video game cover players that we’ve had so far. I’ve made these picks according to a few factors: magnitude of stardom, their level of success around the time they appeared on the cover, and yes, there’s some personal bias in there as well. So, without any further ado, I present my choices for the five best basketball video game cover players!

In the wake of the outcry over inaccessible saves following the shutdown of NBA 2K14’s servers, 2K has decided to extend online support for the game. Responding to inquiries from Polygon, a 2K Sports representative confirmed that online services have been restored for NBA 2K14, and that online support will henceforth be extended from 18 to 27 months. The full statement (via Polygon) is as follows:
2K has restored the NBA 2K14 servers and all online services. Beginning today, we are extending the support of all NBA 2K servers from 18 to 27 months following each release, giving our players more time to experience and enjoy the highest rated NBA simulation video game franchise. The opinions of our community continue to have a positive impact on our business decisions as we strive to create the best possible experience for all of our fans.
This is certainly good news, though the use of cloud saves still remains a contentious issue, and will hopefully be handled with care by both 2K and EA moving forward.
In a disappointing turn of events, the shutdown of the NBA 2K14 servers that occurred last week has wiped out player saves for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the game. Despite previous assurances that the server shutdown would result in online save files being converted to offline saves, several players have discovered that their saves are now inaccessible.
To further gamer frustration, 2K is not offering any warning about the situation, though 2K Support are confirming the issue when they are contacted. Polygon has published excerpts from one such email, which refers to the save files being “retired”, and goes on to say:
Sadly this may come as an inconvenience to some of you and if so we truly do understand and can feel for how upsetting this may seem as there always is a special bond that occurs between a player and their MyCareer save but all good things must come to an end and rest assured your MyCareer or MyGM went out while on top!
Such responses are unlikely to placate angry fans, who unsurprisingly have voiced their displeasure on social media. It remains to be seen what will happen with NBA 2K15, and whether 2K’s previous assurances of a contingency plan that allows gamers to continue their saves in offline mode will come to fruition.
The issue certainly highlights the drawbacks of the current approach to cloud saves and online features as it pertains to single player modes. Both NBA 2K and NBA Live make use of content that’s stored on their servers, which obviously hampers the game once the inevitable shutdown has taken place. The obvious expectation is that gamers will be upgrading to the latest game each year, but that’s not always the case. Additionally, gamers who do buy the game every year but also maintain their collection rather than trading in will sometimes revisit older games, especially if they’ve played a mode extensively, and pumped real money into the game to purchase upgrades.
Hopefully, both 2K and EA will find a way to avoid these pitfalls in the future, while still making good use of cloud technology.
