I'm actually glad. This will be a good test for him, to see if he can deliver info without an announcement. I think he'll see that, until he can prove that his released info can make their dates and exceed expectations, that this is the route to go for a while.

And is he saying that check swings weren't in the game last year? I wouldn't know because I didn't own last year's game, but if that's true, that's just terrible.

No, I think he is referring to the developer insights not being there. And he is being unprofessional, and slandering the user-base and potential customers, because they can not get their act together over a "screen-shot" (whatever).

There are better ways of handling things, and in this instance, he should have just said nothing at all.

I feel the same way about him at this point. He acts like the Insights are a priviledge to us. Pleeeease.. He's a promoter and it's his job to release information like that in a timely manner. His attitude and the way he cheap talks customers hasn't been professional since I've started reading his responses to people and now he's further proving it.

I thought the same thing; he's made a few snarky comments on the 2K boards about the Insight.

He's the community manager for 2K Sports, and one would think he'd be a bit more professional no matter his frustration with customers. Sarcasm and rude put-downs are not the path to building a well-liked and respected franchise.

Honestly, the entire industry (not just sports games) should take a page from The Show and Madden's play book; lots of community interaction is a good thing.

So technically we should get two insights next week, but I doubt that's going to happen.

[brendanrfoley]

Wow, it would be great if we did.

Hit us with one insight Monday and another Friday. That will make everyone do cartwheels.

[jeffy777]

Well, I'm certainly not getting my hopes up for anything this coming week, lol.

[jerm21]

he has to dish out two next week. has to.

I wish Ronnie could update us like Ian Cummings does for Madden. He started doing weekly writeups in March/April and the game came out in August.

It's almost February and we've got some screens, a writeup, some plain reviews, and skits.

But i'm sure by February we will be flooded with information. And there will be no time for complaining..oh wait
