NBA 2K14 has been suffering a host of technical issues with its online servers for the PS4 and Xbox One despite sending gamers a bunch of new updates to fix problems and glitches.

Some players, especially those who play the game on the Xbox One, said they were unable to connect the game online at all even though all the updates were downloaded.

2K Sports is giving away 5,000 VC points for free because of the problems with MyCareer, Associations, and MyPlayers.

The company released codes on Twitter to obtain the VC gift. For the Xbox One and PS4 the code is, N14PS-F7TY4-Y82X4-27KRS-6EJDA, and for the Xbox 360 and PS3 the code is, N14PS-PQ9AD-MDK5L-QXTHX-JHQN3.

NBA 2K14 has outsold NBA 2K13 with just the next-gen versions of the game, which was an unexpected revelation for 2K Sports. 2K's latest game has gotten rave reviews, and has sold very well in both the next-gen and previous gen versions of the game.

"If you look at the current generation and the next-generation [of NBA 2K14] together, we've actually sold in more units combined than we did last year on just the current generation," said Karl Slatoff, Take-Two President, reports PlayStation Lifestyle. "So you hear a lot in the industry right now about the problems that developers are having in the transition period and the risk that are associated with transition, which are all very true. But in our specific situations, we only have one game right now for next-gen. We're not seeing that."

"The PS3 and the 360 version and the PS4 and the Xbox One version are actually different games and with different development cycles behind them. So as a combined unit, we're actually seeing an increase over last year in terms of selling at this point. So we're not seeing... that pain in transition," he continued.

NBA 2K14 was released on Oct. 1 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. It arrived for the PS4 on Nov. 15 and the Xbox One on Nov. 22.
