NBA 2K24 has arrived, bringing excitement to gamers everywhere with Kobe Bryant gracing the cover and new features to explore. However, not everything is all cheers and slam dunks. The game has introduced penalties for players who quit their MyCareer games midway, and not everyone is thrilled about it.
If you abruptly exit a game, you might now face a suspension of 30 minutes or even an hour. While some players support this move to discourage quitting, others are not pleased. Some gamers have reported strange bans due to what seems like a malfunction in the system.
The glitch causing these bans can strike at any moment, leaving players puzzled. In one unusual case, popular NBA 2K streamer Flight found himself banned until the year 4713 during a game. A thousand years into the future! This doesn’t seem like a minor bug.

Getting disconnected from the NBA 2K servers often results in these suspensions. The penalties were introduced following complaints about players quitting games without consequence, a concern many in the NBA2K community supported. However, the unwarranted suspensions caused by glitches and server issues have left many players frustrated.
While these 30-minute or hour-long bans won’t keep players away for long, some gamers appreciate the effort to discourage quitting. Once the launch bugs are fixed, NBA 2K24 promises to offer an unparalleled basketball gaming experience.
One standout feature in this edition is the ProPLAY technology, a significant innovation. Unlike previous versions that used motion capture for player movements, ProPLAY uses real NBA footage to bring the gameplay to life. Fan-favorite modes like MyCareer, MyTeam, and MyNBA have all been retained, ensuring that players can dive into familiar and exciting experiences.
