Re: Patch #3 XB1 and International PS4 Update Thread
Venting:
I don't think professionalism has necessarily been shown by LD2K or Ronnie. I haven't seen any sympathy or understanding.
Since it's technically not their fault they pass it off and literally ignore everyone about it. Instead of being open, trapsarent about what they know and showing they care they normally completely ignore people being upset.
For example, They say they will update us on the timetable as soon as they can. Then they completely ignore the issue (to make 2K look better) and days later they give a generic response "It will come out when Microsoft approves it"
That is not an update on the status. If they could not get an update they could have been transparent about the process.
From watching a stream of LD2K I like that he is a regular guy but I've seen a huge lack of professionalism. He makes his my team, makes it after a curse word, and 2k searches for curse words in the name, and he says "what is this cheese?" For people who like cursing or don't mind it no big deal. Of course he spelled it differently to avoid it flagging. But he is the representative of the company and doing everything against company policies directly on his stream. A very minor example, and cussing isn't something that personally offends me, but I think it gives a picture of the type of character I've seen. Since he isn't the person responsible for the patch he feels no responsibility to the community to be transparent and update us properly, thinks it's "not his problem". Of course he will rebuke I'm sure by saying how he cares, but the updates he has given don't lie. He hasn't given a single legitimate update besides blaming microsoft or saying that it will be released soon. Instead of telling us what the hold up is he just posts a generic answer once every 2 days to get people off his back, that's not caring.
A person that is SUPPOSED to be deeply involved in the 2K community shouldn't have this type of attitude. Honestly I prefer a lot of things about NBA Live, and I think NBA Live released a massively underrated game. I think the problems with 2K are problems that for the most part won't be addressed.
But their updating to signature shots, rosters, the quality of the game, game modes, etc. has been winning me over. Also I feel the quality of their patch would seem to be superior to the patch of NBA Live.
But as someone teetering back and forth between games, things like this are things that directly push me to NBA Live. It's not having to wait for the patch, it's how their leaders have handled it.
This is venting. I am not directly attacking developers. I am constructively criticizing the handling of the situation.
With that being said I have had like 4 off days waiting for this patch, and now I have to work for like 7 straight days, so it's really dissapointing. At the same time I understand it COULD BE somewhat out of their hands, though in my estimation I'm sure they messed up the patch and MS sent it back to be fixed. I just wish they would tell us that. *drops mic*
