    lol, ok Ron......seems kinda like a snobby tweet, no?
    I'm actually glad. This will be a good test for him, to see if he can deliver info without an announcement. I think he'll see that, until he can prove that his released info can make their dates and exceed expectations, that this is the route to go for a while.

    And is he saying that check swings weren't in the game last year? I wouldn't know because I didn't own last year's game, but if that's true, that's just terrible.

      No, I think he is referring to the developer insights not being there. And he is being unprofessional, and slandering the user-base and potential customers, because they can not get their act together over a "screen-shot" (whatever).

      There are better ways of handling things, and in this instance, he should have just said nothing at all.

        I feel the same way about him at this point. He acts like the Insights are a priviledge to us. Pleeeease.. He's a promoter and it's his job to release information like that in a timely manner. His attitude and the way he cheap talks customers hasn't been professional since I've started reading his responses to people and now he's further proving it.

          Man, 2K needs to get their act together. This is not how you treat your user-base.
          I thought the same thing; he's made a few snarky comments on the 2K boards about the Insight.

          He's the community manager for 2K Sports, and one would think he'd be a bit more professional no matter his frustration with customers. Sarcasm and rude put-downs are not the path to building a well-liked and respected franchise.

          Honestly, the entire industry (not just sports games) should take a page from The Show and Madden's play book; lots of community interaction is a good thing.

            So technically we should get two insights next week, but I doubt that's going to happen.

              Wow, it would be great if we did.

              Hit us with one insight Monday and another Friday. That will make everyone do cartwheels.

                Well, I'm certainly not getting my hopes up for anything this coming week, lol.

                  he has to dish out two next week. has to.

                  I wish Ronnie could update us like Ian Cummings does for Madden. He started doing weekly writeups in March/April and the game came out in August.

                  It's almost February and we've got some screens, a writeup, some plain reviews, and skits.

                  But i'm sure by February we will be flooded with information. And there will be no time for complaining..oh wait

                    Ha! I saw that posted on the 2K site yesterday. This is what I mean about not getting it. People aren't mad because they didn't wake up to find no insight. They are mad because they were told to look for something in a given time frame and it didn't happen.

                    Those who are actually mad, of course. I think many have just learned to take theses "announcement announcements" with a grain of salt.

                      Yeah, I loved 2K7, so I remember getting infuriated by the failed announcements back around 2K8 (which, coincidently was around the time they hired Ron.....go figure), but then I just became numb to their empty promises. And now while I still like to read upcoming news about their game, I certainly don't get my hopes up in any way.

                          Yup. I generally tend to operate under a simple assumption: The higher the hopes, the farther the fall.

                            I certainly do. I love The Show, but there is nothing wrong with having the option of another game to play, and 2K has done some good and noteworthy things throughout the series. Now if they could only stop un-doing those things and, instead, build upon them....

                              They need competition that is on the 360 as well as the PS3 like having MVP baseball back. If they had another game on the 360 and not just the show, than maybe it would push them to make a good game that represents the game of baseball and not under deliver. Maybe they wouldn't take features out that are part of baseball and make the gameplay better.

                                I think that the developers should just post the insights themselves. That way they can post them on time and might not have to get approval. EA and SCEA developers all post the insights themselves and think it would benefit the gamers and 2k if they posted the insights themselves.
