People need to check themselves on that stuff. It's out of line and should not be tolerated for one comment.
I don't think anyone was going after Beds's personal life. The rationale was that if the main roster developer has something going on that keeps them from handling their duties, 2K should have the resources to go "next man up" when it's time to push out updates.

But when it comes down to it I agree with you. Rather or not the roster guy had kids is not something that I as a gamer should be finding out about through a message board unless he tells us personally.

Leave the chill'ren out of it, people!

What happened was in the absence of information people here took the liberty of speculating about and discussing the personal life of a dev, and a former of member of this community on top of that (not that anyone deserves that invasion of privacy).

On top of that, they took their speculations as fact and then imagined they could comment on the inner workings of 2K's staffing and internal team management.

The absence of information to the community is 2K's responsibility.

The presumption of privilege to discuss personal lives and invasion of privacy to discuss the family life of a dev is 100% on people here. And that was flat out, full out, over the line.

I'm letting no one off the hook.

I have waited for this update to start playing this game since it came out. I like to start my league with opening day rosters. It would be nice if 2k at least keeps us informed about whats going on with the process.

I do feel bad for 2k this year though as this "Early Tip-Off" release has been littered with issues. I pray that they never release 2k this early again if this is the result.

Nobody said **** about beds or his personal life and people make assumptions about your team all the time. Put out a better product if you are so offended.

He isn't a developer, but a community member like the rest of us.

I think he overracted big time about people "speculating" on Beds' personal life. Him and his girlfriend/wife having a baby was public knowledge (he posted about it on his social media account which he also uses to communicate with the community), so people assumed (myself included) that he was on paternity leave.

That was the most reasonable and informed conclusion, but apparently the issue is a technical bug/glitch (one of many this development cycle, sadly) that many were unaware of.

It sucks that we'll be waiting an indefinite amount of time without any communication.

2K needs to do a whole lot better or a lot of people are going to bail on the series.....

Yeah it has to be a technical issue because Everytime they get asked about it on Twitter they completely ignore it.
