It would be awful if I talked them into doing another patch and the community turned on us for it. That would not be good at all.

I'm gonna hold you to this Da_Czar lol

I'm really hoping that all gameplay and especially collisions of all types are dramatically improved in 2k18. There was a temporary fix with some sliders and body up sensitivity but since the last few patches and/or gameplay tuning updates its really messy still and inconsistent.

I understand what you're saying though about holding the L but its important that the L is only for one year.

As a company 2k has some...interesting ideas about how and what to communicate so being part of said company you can only operate where you have leeway. So sometimes as a dev if you know you can't or shouldn't answer certain things you just kind of fade into the weeds because it can seem rude to get asked the same question over and over again and not be able to answer. Also sometimes we don't have that answer. Outside of my area of expertise I am only really giving my opinion. So it's muddy and unclear and I get how that comes off but unfortunately a lot of that is out of my hands. Also this happens a lot someone will be asking about something but you are fighting behind the scenes to make it happen and you still do not know what the outcome will be so you just remain quiet until you figure it out. In short in my opinion we could certainly do a better job communicating IMHO of course.

I really appreciate this honesty though. I think a lot of the time its kind of crazy how we have access to developers who care about the game yet the marketing people who are responsible stay hidden and can be these faceless, untargetable people who are actually responsible for keeping us in the dark.

If possible could we please get more accurate information regarding what each command does? Like for example, I'm only finding out from your streams the difference between Space the Floor, Motion Cuts and Scoring Options.

There is no easily accessible manual that translates these things into a digestible format and I think a manual would in fact temper a lot of these complaints that we have.

Why doesn't it just give me whatever update I need before the game loads, like every other game in the world?

I gotta agree on this one. Or at least let that damn thing be hidden. I've been really hindered by this in online and offline games and I've loaded the game up fresh from the beginning too.
