Glad SOMEONE found him to talk. He is a tough man to get in touch with.

Would be nice if 2k put their efforts into getting the modes and features in the game already to work correctly instead of spending time every year integrating some flashy new feature that will be broken from the get-go. I love what 2k has done with classic teams and now euroleague but they should make sure all these things work as intended or they are basically useless.

What's next?

"We've finally convinced 2K Insider to actually watch some basketball this year. Gonna be a great year!"

Talking to the insider? Lol just fire him. This guy if he exists wich he probably doesn't has been stealing so much money. There is absolutely nothing he does better than any other human beeing on the planet.

It's just gonna be the same thing. It's some marketing talk right there, we have this every year. Sorry Chris.

There shoudn't even be a guy at this spot. It's a perfect job for a bot. Just put stats in and it trnaltes into ratings. That's all you need. No more biased ratings. Let real life stats do the talking.

How About THIS, "We get someone who KNOWs and CARES about Basketball?". I KNOW that is a CRAZY concept. Who is doing the EUROLEAGUE Ratings and Tendencies? I mean if you cant get the NBA right, HOW you gonna get 14 teams from a DIFFERENT League. That would TAKE Time and RESEARCH.

I basically look at this now like...

"There wasn't enough time this developement cycle to intergrate the Euro-League into Associations/MyCareer and we wanted to increase our sales in Europe as quickly as possible"

Sorry for calling you out here LD2K but what exactly do you expect "your" customers to do with 10 Euro teams that are only good for exhibition games & majority of the people haven't even heard of the players on these teams?... it's like you guys want to frustrate your supporters?.

Now i'm not saying adding "the Euro teams is a bad idea!", but why only for quick play and why bring them in now?, There are so many other features in 2k that still need fixing/tweaking let alone correcting the "ACTUAL NBA ROSTERS". I honestly think more people would have been excited if you guys simply announced "We are adding more European names to the name database!".

LD2K i'm very grateful for what 2k has brought us in basketball games especially the last few years, but tacking on new features every year and not fixing long standing issues within the Rosters,Modes and Gameplay can become frustrating, especially when there is not many confirmed answers by the developers as to why things are left the way they are.

Now as for your "specific teams"...Can you please tell me what the association team has been doing the last 2-3 years?...
We are lucky to have an assortment of options through 2kshare to choose our rosters from, but now anybody with some interest in playing a realistic association will steer clear of 2k's defualt rosters!...
Don't you guys take that as a big insult?
I mean the bottom line here is the community is doing a better job for free!.

Staying back on topic with the new Euro-League Feature teams, I just want to say I really hope your "Insider" nails the NBA Rosters, I hope you have every cyberface, every rating, every tendency, every player available & correct this year...because if you don't, your going to be faced with more frustrated customers, more questions to dodge!, and more criticism that probably was unnecessary because you added another useless, unfinished, unpolished Feature to your project.


I hope you read this LD2K and understand the point I'm trying to make!, Features don't sell basketball games anymore!, Accuracy and Realism does!

Couldn't have said it any better mate, i really really hope LD2k reads this and the team takes it on board. ENOUGH with ignoring association year in year out. It's time for 2k to step up. Most of the issues don't even take long to fix, so why keep ignoring them 2k? The only conclusion people can then draw is that it's just pure laziness.

As well as actually provding at least a half realistic roster this year. It is beyond me why the "2k insider" still even has a job (If he even exists lol).
