NBA 2K11 Servers to Remain Online

Originally outlined in the NBA 2K11 manual, online multiplayer support for NBA 2K11 was scheduled to be turned off in November 2011.  With that being said, does anybody really read the manuals? 

The announcement was met with fan outcry.  Listening to the fans, 2K Sports has decided to leave servers for NBA 2K11 online until April 2012, at which point I assume they will turn off the lights for good.

Here is the list of games that are currently functional as of 12/1/2011:

NBA 2K12 and NBA 2K11 / MLB 2K11
NHL 2K11 (Wii), NHL 2K10 (360/PS3)
All Last Edition Titles (Top Spin 4, BIGS 2, etc.)
All Series With No Revision – NFL 2K5, APF 2K8, CH 2K8

For the discontinued 2K10 and prior 360 titles, match making and leaderboards on LIVE will still be available, but the additional features 2K Sports offer (leagues, sports ticker, lobbies) will not be available.
