Re: 2K Sports Community Team-Up Program Announced

This thing is a good idea for the most part, as long as the feedback from a handful of gamers out of millions is contrasted with the real NBA. I don't know, I just think there's a lot of different opinions out there - gameplay especially. Just cuz Smoove is good at commentary doesn't necessarily make him some "expert gamer." I think multi-faceted approach is best --> a few gamers from the community, a consensus, wishlist threads, etc -- but the biggest one is the real NBA. Reward / consequence / tacticts, etc should be the same as real NBA / real basketball. With that one, you can't go wrong because opinions are subjective but making it like the real NBA is pretty can't miss. Not saying 2k doesn't already do this, I'm just sayin my concern is having a handful of 'reps' of the community having too much clout in the direction of the game.

lol smoove is perfect for this. If you watch his videos you can tell he knows a lot about basketballs and what should be in a basketball game.

Some people may like chris smoove because he makes them laugh, but i dont think he represents most SIM players like myself. I watched alot of his videos and dude is pretty cheesy especially in Myplayer. Shady is OK, i just dont think videos are anywhere near as good as the Momentus trailers. Someone like Teebone21 from the 2K forums or myself :-) would be good for this.

I am just HOPING SOMEONE at 2k has Taken Notice of Vannwolfhawk's work he did with the Playbooks this year. Amazing stuff he did.

Agreed and what happend to teebone? lol haven't been over there in a long time. Hasn't EA been doing this with Madden for a while now? We still have to wait for 13 but I heard EA, just uses it to hype their game up.

You can't play sim basketball in myplayer lol.

Your teammates are worthless and can't defend. You have to do everything in order to win.

Chris Smoove is actually one of the less cheesy myplayer player on youtube. Actually he is the only one I can watch without shaking my head even though I'd agree that since his myplayer has become so good in 2K13 he does go a lot to the basket with no regards to the defense.

Re: 2K Sports Community Team-Up Program Announced

It seems 2k's goal with this is to create hype, so i'm expecting that the people invited will all be high-profile guys with lots of followers. Popular youtube guys will probably get the invites. Makes sense from 2k's standpoint - they want a lot of eyeballs following the hype, so i don't see them offering it up to people who are just obscure forum members. From a business standpoint it doesn't make much sense for them to invite a little-known gamer on a forum. If their goal was to get useable feedback, they would've invited these people months ago when they still had time to use the feedback. By the time these people see the game in a few weeks it will be mostly completed anyway. 2k does listen to feedback, I'll give them credit for that, but this team-up program looks like a hollow hype machine and nothing more. This late in the dev cycle, i don't see VC being able to make any real changes based on what the invitees tell them.

This whole "who will be invited?" reveal seems like hype as well. 2k probably already knew who they were inviting months ago, so now they're creating more fake hype around the reveal of the invitees...think about it. if somebody is going to take a plane trip to VC studios, wouldn't they need to know months ahead of time so they could plan the trip? It's not likely being decided "as we speak" as Ronnie2k claims.

Dude DaCazar is allready a major part of 2k i mean in nba 2k12 they gave him a dunk package

Re: 2K Sports Community Team-Up Program Announced

I hope they ask Czar his opinion but it wouldn't feel right if he was just with one title. He's good for basketball gaming as a whole -- it would suck to take a guy like that from the neutral zone.

I mean, I hope they fly him down and I hope they ask him his suggestions but I don't think he should be an official member. More like an ambassador or something...

It's not about what they gave him, it's about him voicing the opinions and feeling of the sim nation. Da_Czar is outspoken about what the sim nation and what matters. A dunk package was a honor for him but it didn't satisfy what he knew everybody wanted from the game. People want personal gain by going to this events. We need people respected and who will get ear time.

*technically the game is done; they are in the tweaking stages.

He did...I remember him talking about being in the offices and talking to main guys there and voicing his dislikes. He posted all his experience at 2k on his blogsite to...

Re: 2K Sports Community Team-Up Program Announced

Anybody else remember Ronnie tweeting way back in November or something that Chris Smoove would be getting some type of opportunity this year? I vaguely remember that. Seems Ronnie was hinting at this team-up program way back then, in which case the invitees were decided a long time ago.

Not really. I think Da Czar and SportsGamer (?) brought it up a few months ago. I mean, not sure if they are the originators of the idea but I know it was a topic just a few months ago. I actually tweeted to the Ronnie/LD2k about where they were on getting one together multiple times after hearing it.
