I made 2 videos to fix to major FPS problem with NBA2K14
issue 1 : very low FPS
I had this strange issue since i reinstalled this old game, the game ran very slow at only 3 or 4 FPS !
Problem solved : the issue was ... the file system. Since i lost one of my SSD, i reinstalled all my NBA2K games on a new one, same model replaced by Amazon, but formated in exFat. All other NBA2K games work perfectly including NBA2K13, I dont know the reason why, but only NBA2K14 doesnt like this filesystem. Anyway, on a NTFS drive, it works now perfectly.
Game is pretty old but it could help.
issue 2 : freezes, variable FPS
Another other is that the steam version runs slower between 20~40 FPS when internet network card is on. the only issue was to disable the network adapter. but finally, ive found a fix after tracking what the game does on the nework :
no need to turn off the network card anymore 2K turned off the servers but the game still want to contact them, even in offline mode, causing slowness... so faking the game by adding the servers called on the local loopback fixes this issue.

Compatibility/performance fixes for older games are always handy to know. It's frustrating when they don't perform well on newer tech, so good looking out on a solution!

What was really strange is that i have all my other NBA2K games on this SSD, and none is impacted, even 2K13 which is a very closed game.
I found a lot of people over the internet complaining about slow performances issues on Windows 10 with old games, perhaps it could help.

FINALLY I've been looking for a fix for this issue for almost a year!! Been messing around with the options, the config file, my graphics settings, nothing worked. This is the one that finally worked. Before; I could only play while my fibre optic internet was turned on at my old house without it going super slow. Which makes absolutely no sense, then I moved out and couldn't get it to work at all but it does indeed work now that I formatted my SSD to NTFS from exFAT.
You are a god among men, thank you.
