Finally, content creators may also want to take the opportunity to get screenshots and footage of online modes and content while they’re still accessible. Any custom rosters that you want should also be downloaded before the shutdown. I’d advise anyone still playing the game to wrap up any business in connected modes ASAP, including spending any leftover VC and aiming for Trophies/Achievements. While NBA 2K18 wasn’t the most popular game in the series, it is one that some people still play and mod. This resulted in NBA 2K games receiving two seasons’ worth of support plus an additional three months, after which they were shut down on December 31st. Following the controversy caused by the NBA 2K14 server shut down, 2K extended online support for all their titles to 27 months. The NBA 2K19 game as normal will experience server problems from time-to-time, although it could be teething issues after a recent update or planned maintenance. Interestingly, the shutdown is occurring eighteen days later than usual. Previous games have allowed online saves to be converted into offline saves, making it a disappointing situation for anyone who likes to dust off old games from time to time. This means that once the NBA 2K18 servers are shut down, any online M圜AREER and MyGM saves will become inaccessible, and you’ll need to start over. Players will no longer be able to play ranked games/online association. Unfortunately, 2K Support has indicated that there is no way to convert online saves to offline saves. NBA 2K17 online servers will shut down on 12/31/18. M圜AREER and MyGM will still be playable, but only in their offline versions. Once this occurs, online play and MyTEAM will no longer be available. The NBA 2K18 servers are set to be shut down on January 18th, 2020.
