Have to resist urge to feed the troll.

One thing I've kind of noticed from following EA's Twitter feed is that the people promoting LIVE 14 seem to be closer to the developers of the game than the people over at 2K. The PR people at 2K don't seem to be in the loop as far as game technology and details go until after the fact. To be fair, it's impossible for Ronnie2K to have a running in-depth knowledge of all the games he's expected to hype. Just another area LIVE can excel in--customer support closer to game and developers.

What are you talking about, why do people feel that they need to make false claims in order to hype another product, of course Ronnie has access to the developers. He is not allowed to speak on certain items until scheduled to, it has nothing to to with not knowing or not having access, maybe he should say they are releasing Game Play and don't like EA has done.

Who are the 2k developers? Who is working on the game? Can we reach THEM? There is no transparency, we are always left in the dark and it takes days, weeks, months, for the 2K PR team to come back with vague answers. That's what I'm taking about.

Let me give you a little history. The first dev to regularly visit the OS forums was Mike Wang ("Beluba") who has worked on 2k and Live and is one of the lead devs at 2k. There is a second dev ("Simballer") who regulalry posts in the 2k forum. I know for a fact that another lead developer Rob Jones regularly visits the 2k forum. Thats 3 devs who visit OS. Ld2k is a pr guy who also regularly posts in the 2k forum. There are more devs from the NBA2k team present at OS than there are for any other sports games.

What kills me is that people act like 2k's process has ever changed. All of the promotion of the game goes through Ronnie and LD2k. The devs dont need to promote the game because 1) Ronnie and LD do a pretty good job with it and promoting the game is not their job.

They release info on a schedule. They stick to that schedule. Just because you may have a question that they arent ready to answer yet doesnt mean there is a lack of communication between the devs and pr guys.

So you know who the developers are but they aren't publicly available to answer questions? Or aren't allowed to? Like I said, EA can best 2K in that department by better communication with their customers which it sounds like (if you read a recent interview with their new CEO) is one of their priorities. Not the case with 2K. Just an example:
