NBA 2K25 servers have been inconsistent on launch

@2KIntel on X, one of the most popular pages for news related to the NBA 2K franchise, recently posted about the servers being down for those trying to enjoy the early access stage of the game. According to their opinion, this is a recurring issue every year, with servers struggling to handle traffic on launch day, and the problem has returned in NBA 2K25 as well.

That said, since these server outages initially troubled fans around the globe, the online services have seemingly resumed, with some claiming that they are now back on the game and can access online modes. However, most are still struggling to connect to the servers and get disconnected once they do manage to do so.

In such a situation, gamers have resorted to trying different methods to see what works. While some are disabling their crossplay compatibility features, others are testing the internet connection on their consoles and hoping for the best.
