Their developers seem to constantly be on the boards and they actually organized a group of veterans within the forum and flew them out to the studios to spend some time with the developers and most importantly with the game.
After reading about their experience, it's no wonder why that game is in the state it is. Maybe this is a road 2K will cross sometime in the near future, but I would think the situation going on there is definitely the exception.
Regardless of what game is better, the developers over there really seems to be doing special stuff and really are building a repoir with their fans, even if it is only a small sample of their total customer base, and really taking their ideas and feedback to heart.
Wish lists are nice, but without any real interaction and dialouge, there is just too much room for things to be misunderstood and misinterpreted.
It wasn't too long when 2K used to do a lot of similar things (excluding the field trip) with their fans on the 2K site. I think the flack they took after 2K6 put an end to this, but maybe with a successful 2K9, those old ways can be realized again.
