So you played the game for two days then got banned and the supervisor said they have evidence of some breach but can’t tell you what it is? What kind of doodoo is that? I’m about done with any online games. Played baseball for 29 years then played the show to keep me in the game and now this stuff. I’m with Ron White, I’m 3rd generation dgaf anymore lol
I’m sitting in awe bro. I have no idea. Doesn’t make any sense how a company can do this

Doing some quick research, I’ve found this happens a lot with 2k. I’m surprised at this point that there hasn’t been a class action suit. At least then every single reason for a ban could be subpoenaed. It would take ten years, and you may get $10 out of it, but it would be bad press for them and at least e lawyers would make money.
On a personal note, I’m really sorry that happened to you. It can be very frustrating to be baselessly accused of something and told you have no recourse. Hopefully there is something you can do, a company should not be able to do that to a customer. If online is the reason you bought the game, and they are baselessly blocking you, that’s tantamount to theft.

RIP. Sry dude.
Thanks brotha. I’m beyond pissed right now. I did nothing wrong at all and can’t even get answers
A) get a smarter wife ( preferably one who knows you should be a TheShow man strictly )
B) Hear too many cry wolf bans in online sports games to believe anyone.
C) you may of done something(s) you didn’t think was ban worthy and now you are scared to make another account. 2 days time isn’t a lot to be fretting about. 2K is shitty game but they don’t have a consumer issue ( people complaining in mass about phantom bans).
D ) more time for TheShow

A) my wife bought me the show as well so there’s that.
B) I hear you but really wouldn’t come on my baseball forum to cry wolf about a basketball game
C) point is I have no idea so I am scared to start a new account and grind and them ban me again
D) getting alil burnt out on the Show

Really sorry to hear this, bro. They banned my buddy last year because he had a lot of MT (their in game currency). He got it legitimately by flipping and sniping cards but since he hadn't bought any with his credit card they auto banned him. We were able to get it lifted with the help of Shake n' Bake, a 2K YouTuber, but it's crazy how they ban people with no evidence of any wrongdoing.
I played MyTeam hardcore every year until this one. The predatory microtransactions and BS like this finally drove me over the edge. The way they run things seriously made me angry and I couldn't be a part of it anymore. I didn't buy it for the first time in years.
I saw people, mostly younger people, drop like $400 on boxes of packs and literally not get a single good card... Nada. They are crooks. It's seriously mind boggling.
BTW... I heard something about EA getting sued over their loot boxes. Not sure if this is true or not, it's just what I heard.

Dang thats crazy man. Yea I will not be buying a 2k product anytime soon. This is beyond ridiculous. i basically just gave up. Last I heard the supervisor was putting my case in for an appeal. But at this point i dont think i care anymore. Just a real bad taste in my mouth. Madden was the same way. I played MUT for the first time last year and so many of my buddies would drop $100 a weekend on packs and pull nothing

Yeah, it's disgusting. I'm not sure how Madden works but 2K didn't even have to show the odds on their packs. It's unbelievable and borderline illegal.

If MLBTS ever starts going in this direction, I’m funked. I wouldn’t have any sports games to play because I ditched Madden and 2K for those very reasons. I’d honestly just get rid of my PS and say goodbye to gaming.

2k is a joke.

The supervisor just got back to me and said their hands are tied and the ban can not be reversed. They said they have evidence but they are unable to supple me with said evidence. This is fk insane
They have evidence of what though? They can't even tell you what rule you broke?
No bro. I swear. I can copy the email. All they keep saying is to refer to the player policy that just lists everything you could get a ban for. They legit are not telling me
It’s just like call of duty banning people who didn’t cheat. Only weeks later to unban them with no apology. Hopefully they didn’t hear you say something on the hot mic.

Did they ever get back to you? At least you shared your story. I’m not buying the game now because of this, and I didn’t even plan on taking it online. If they ban someone, they should at least give a concrete reason and a fake dispute process, even if the burden of proof is on the banned party. Game companies make mistakes like this all the time, yet refuse to correct or even admit them.

Merry XMAS brotha. Nope the last correspondence was days ago saying I’m in process for an appeal. Not that I’m in an appeal just put a request in to see if I’m eligible for one. Missing all the holiday freebies and stuff so at this point don’t even think I’m playing it even if they unban me. Yea I’m staying away from 2k going forward. Last dime they get out of me
