Here comes the 2K hype machine. They're advertising to the "celebrities" of the community so they in turn can advertise to us common folk. Nowhere did I see any mention of them taking feedback.

If Smoove is going to go there to see gameplay, he's going to comeback with an honest opinion, it's just the type of guy Smoove is.

I seriously doubt they're going to force Smoove to only talk good about the game.

Congrats fellas!

Props to Shady.... he really does a lot in making 2Ks hoops titles shine. Really phenomenal work by him. It would be fitting if he was able to lend his expertise in doing one of the 2K13 vids that drop commercially for all to see....

He’ll definitely get to talk to devs about NBA 2K13 and even witness some of its improvements over 2K12 (speed issues no more).

looks like they finally fixed speed! Ronnie hinted at it

Wait, so one of the 'perks' is for those guys to see the game early -- 6 weeks in advance. That would put the preview in mid-August. In mid-August I'll be going to GamesCom here in Germany sooooo technically I'm an unofficial member of the 2k program.

Don't steal my thunder and don't worry about the gif -- I got this one :P

Maybe because the feedback is already taken care of by people from the 2K crew at communities like here at OS. I mean, the guys many times use the feedback from even 2 years earlier (given that is good feedback).

Hey, that's really cool. Congrats guys! Love the video's by the way!

Congrats to Shady and Smoove! Excited to see what they are able to share with the rest of us.

I don't get all of this stuff. Why not just post the news for everyone in the old fashioned way ? I don't see this necessary

It's called getting honest opinions from our fellow community members. Why are some people hating on respected community members? I rather them go than a casual fan who doesn't care if the game plays like NBA JAM or a realistic basketball game.

This is definately a marketing tool, but the best thing about getting community members in there looking at the game is the feedback they give the developers.

This community feedback can make a possibly serious issue with gameplay be nipped now instead of trying and failing to patch it out later.

Re: 2K Sports Community Team-Up Program Announced

Well, at least 2k is pretty much letting you know this is a marketing tool right now -- maybe it'll grow into something more.

I'm just happy that they are going a step further with their community involvement. LD2k and Ronnie2k already are very active -- reaching out and actually bringing people in the studios hopefully to push forward more ideas can only be a plus.

I wouldn't consider it hating. I like the ideal of getting the community involved, but it's not like 2K is asking for suggestion, or taking ideals from these guys...just showing stuff early.
