I really don't want to start a EA bash session here, but this sort of mentality couldn't be more at odds with EA's ethos - taking note is one thing, but this would require a 'regime change' grade event at EA to change.

A few years ago, 2K Sports decided to release onto PC, while at around the same time EA Sports decided to shun PC. At the time, I doubt 2K expected there would be a potential talent pool of employees to come as a result of this decision, but here we are today witnessing the direct benefits of this decision for the product as a whole, benefiting PC and console fans of the series alike. On one hand scared and reactionary, the other hand daring and proactive.

It remains to be seen if 2K continue to enable its most hardcore of passionate users (i.e. the PC modders), but what we've seen so far is the sort of vision and coherent long term direction you see with a more agile and flexible developer, as opposed to a lumbering behemoth who has enough trouble as it is attracting industry talent in the first place.

Congrats. Well deserved. 2k is really putting together an awesome team here and with this addition 2k16 is going to be crazy scary good. On another note I pray 2k will sign some more people from NLSC in particular NLSC's art team (modders). Those guys definitely deserve all the recognition they can get and rewards for their hard work. I can really see their passion when they create NBA courts (Past/Present) for PC 2k.

Big boss Steve better be getting some referral money from all these signings.

OS New Motto:

"The official breeding grounds for the NBA 2K development team."

I can see their commercials now in my head that would run during the day in between Maury and Jerry Springer.

"Before joining OS, I was limited to posting about lack of hairstyles for Myplayer over at IGN. I then decided to change my life and join the forums over at Operation Sports. In a few shorts weeks I went from making threads like "5 fades 2K15 needs" to now having a full time job over at NBA 2K sitting in a studio scanning guy's hair into the game. Thanks OS!!"

If not this year, most definitely next year. I really pray for this idea to be integrate into the console versions as well.
