They have everyone thinking they have a chance to get invited to go play the game early when in fact all they want is free marketing. Well you know what change the name of the team up to something else because community doesn't fit well when it's not about the community. Marketing to a bunch of little kids that subscribe to these so called commentators only tells me that they're catering to the casual crowd again and not serious about fixing the pile of mess that has been NBA2K for the last 2 years. NBA Live 14 please give these jerks some competition, they've grown too arrogant and forgot where they came from.

I've pretty much given up with 2k making their NBA games more sim. With the emergence of the casual gamer 2k can't do anything but make it more causal. We can't change that. If 2k doesn't appeal to a broader audience then they don't sell. If they don't sell they drop the product. By the way I'm not a "little kid" and I'm subscribed to Gento, Smoove, Shakedown, IpodKingCarter and more. When you think about it, we are all adults playing a virtual game with virtual dolls of Kobe and LeBron that play basketball on a TV with a fake court and everything. We are all kids in a fantasy world. The thing is, that's what makes us love the game. The fact that we can go on to this fantasy court and play against random people we added as friends that we don't know in real life intrigues us. You don't realize how much the game has come since 2k1. Look at these pics. 2k7 and 2k14. AMAZING WORK by 2k. This is a reason for them to be "arrogant".
Arrogance is an exaggerated sense of one's importance or abilities to the point of being overbearing. How could 2k exaggerate something that wasn't there? We need to appreciate more and judge less. I want a good ball game just as much as you do.

This proves my point, just watch half of this video.

I expect a lot from PS2 to PS4.

Also, PS2, look at Sam Cassell, that's scarier than usual.

To be fair who would you go for for free advertising? A Youtuber with a decent amount of subscribers or a noname pleb on some forum?

It sucks I know but hey at least these guys get to play the DEMO earlier than anyone else here!

meh...I don't even care anymore...I'm just going to wait on the info so I could either be disappointed or be "surprised"

I just think it was very shady of 2K to promote team up in a way that was totally not what everyone thought it was. I'm done with the situation now.

We probably shoulda realized this since the fact that the event happens less than 2 months when the game gets to be at houses. But NEXT GEN is still out there. Who knows?

But seriously, we need like an early Team Up thing were our best OS members in certain categories just go and play the beta and give ideas. Doing it around this team up thing NOW is probably close to late and is the stretch of promoting everything for the 2 month hype (which includes this Team Up thing)

The dev's would love to sit down with OS members and talk nitty gritty details and I wanted to provide that opportunity for this community in the future. Basically, if we were to expand this to March as well - there would be time for lots of input on the current project - where we would love to bring in a "team OS" group. For now, the team is looking at guys who help promote the content and discuss, well, some surprises we have in store for all our fans. More on that later. I'm very happy that we can bring in these guys to provide feedback and talk about some of their future interests in the series. We have some surprises for everyone.

Sorry if you read this already, but just to repost what ld2k said about bringing in OS players and the purpose of team up. Hopefully they'll stick to their words.
