So for many people including myself, you couldn't connect to the 2K14 servers. It would say "Checking for connection..." and it wouldnt work. Well I found a way to connect to the 2k servers. I was under blacktop and wanted to play as Kobe, but I had to buy him first. When I tried to buy him, my purchase went through to the servers and I connected to it. Idk if it will work for everyone, but go under blacktop and try to buy a player.

Tell me if it works!
