Check out my GitHub to see what I'm talking about. (https://github.com/leftos/) Late in February, I had been working 14 straight days on tools like NBA Stats Tracker, NBA 2K13 Roster Editor, Hex on Steroids, NBA 2K Speech Recognition, etc. Imagine that passion applied to the game itself, instead of things that improved the game from the outside. Look at LD2k, running from responsibility already. You ain't getting any beer from me then, mister!

Thanks for the clarity man...best of luck!!!

Maybe Ill catch some flack for this but is anyone not seeing the bad side to this. leftos makes tools for the community so that the community can then edit themselves...

Most of Leftos work has been in tool making etc without those tools now for 2K14 the community is left to HOPE that the game doesn't need a tool anymore?

Seems kinda strange that 2k now pursued a key element a vital part of the modding community to be on their team after last years community rosters being HEAVILY monitored on 2Kshare for modwork...

We've been asking too long now for 2k to hire modders and roster-makers from the community.E.g. if you get hired by 2k you wouldn't release sliders and rosters but we would have a solid experienced roster -maker to influence default rosters ,so default roster would be better -more accurate.

Congrats Leftos.

I know you will not forget your roots - just remember that the majority of the 2k gamers will now see you as one of the devs and some will be quick to blame.

May everything continue to work out great for you.

Sup my dude!well I see it from a different perspective: with him in maybe he can explain them how stupid it is to add those limitations (those which doensn't interfere with license rights) and how important it is for the community being able to edit some things they don't allow now...

I guess we'll have to wait til october to find it out
