Several NBA 2K24 players have reported bans after leaving games in online player, but a strange glitch lists the ban to have taken place over 2,500 years in the future.
NBA 2K24 officially went live on September 8, but it hasn’t been a smooth launch in some respects.
A server issue on September 9 prevented many from accessing the game, but there’s been another issue within 2K24: bans for quitting games. Several players have received temporary timeouts for quitting games, including MyCareer.
