    Hey guys, this is a general update about the 2k scraper.

    It looks like the 2k scoreboard system has changed with the launch of AFP.
    There looks to be a new variable to each league that has to be there. You might notice that if you goto a league in the url string you might see "&t=NBA2K7".
    This appears to be a title id var that is now needed for every league.
    What happens when you first goto a league's home page is it sets that var through any page you goto for that league (i think in a cookie, or attached to your php session).

    However for our scraper, its tuned to just go into the schedule page for your team and because of this , the new "title var" isn't set. I tried to trick their scoreboard by passing it and it still doesn't work.
    This is why games are not scraping.

    As of now, there is no straight fix for this issue.
    I will update if i can get in contact with anyone at 2k to fix this issue
