        Congratulations Leftos! Is 2k bringing you onboard as a developer for 2k14, or 2k15 since it is already April?

        Anyway regardless of which title it is, can you please stress to them the importance of things the community feel is needed such as

        -Dynamic association, eg one association Andre Drummond might become an perennial all star star player, 85 overall (If they are still using the overall system), and another association he's progression is stunted and he ends up nothing more than a backup center. This would be a massive addition and greatly improve association.
        -Free agency logic, this one is pretty obvious, it is atrocious right now. Contracts should be handed out on the basis of performance or obvious potential.
        -Trade logic, also need a complete overhaul.
        -Decent generated draft classes even if they don't have the rights to the real players, look at guys like CWSapp who have made outstanding classes.
        -Smaller things such as the issue of 2k13 CPU constantly firing and hiring coaches, add some more options in association such as managing finances, the possibility of a team being relocated etc

        These suggestions along with the obvious ones of redoing the roster logic and playbooks, coaching profiles etc would GREATLY improve 2k

              Smart move by 2k to hire someone whom the community respects and that has a great rep with the gamers. Very smart move on their part. Hopefully they won't try to restrict/hamstrung Leftos and just allow him to work his magic.

                    Shouldn't he get a magenta name for being a developer? Or is it a bit too soon?

                      I wouldn't rush it, aiaron32. I haven't gotten in the US yet as I need to get a work VISA first, but we're working on it. The if is done, the when is to be determined, but shouldn't be too long.

                          Now since you re on the 2k Team that can lead to other games as well. Can you PLEASE Voice for Support for 2k to BRING BACK a College Basketball Game!!!!!!!!! I REALLY think the support would be there for a College Game, it has been OVER 5 years and CH2k8 is still been played ALONG with Rosters STILL being updated. If they could bring a College oops game to go ALONG with a NBA Game, Basketball Options would be UNLIMITED for Basketball Gaming.
                          LOL It's not for lack of effort. I bring it up every time it's applicable. Its to the point where they are like "Yes Czar we know bring back college hoops" LOL

                          I don't know if that game will ever come back. I have pitched a downloadable tournament version with, A re-release of 2k8 on current gen systems with a graphical upgrade They haven't budged yet.

                                there is no new college hoops game because it would requir them to put in more effort, and the market just isn't that big
