No One is talking about Da_Czar leaving Twitter??

[joepatowski]

This should be a big f*cking deal for SimNation.



For those of you that don't know, the hashtags #fix2k20 and #fireronnie2k were trending most of Sunday evening and Monday.



Mike Wang decided to change the game speed, which we know Da_Czar was against (as far as making any changes before everyone has a chance to actually learn the game). The post on Twitter has since been taken down.


Da_Czar got on and posted one gif: https://tenor.com/view/ok-okay-gif-5850917

Several hours later, he shuts down his twitter account: https://twitter.com/Da_Czar <= Not found anymore.


Today, the game speed has been changed back to its original state + a small adjustment: https://twitter.com/Beluba/status/11...737913856?s=20




WHAT THIS MEANS:


Da_Czar has been crucial to simulation basketball in 2K.
He has brought us new plays, new freelances, and has taught us how to play the game of basketball the right way. I've watched every video he's posted before 2k20 drop and he was dropping knowledge in every video.



He started at OS. He IS the community.
Even when I wasn't posting here, I would look at all of his content and read his tips, breakdowns, etc. He's the reason why I play sim because he taught me how to play sim.


Not a good look for 2K.
I'm not sure why he deleted his account. The way everything played out, it could be what happened above. It could be for other reasons. However, having someone like Da_Czar who constantly is droppin knowledge on how to play the game better (aka real basketball) along with the changes he's made to 2K, drop Twitter like that... it just doesn't look good for 2K as a company.

At this point, we should all be supporting Da_Czar with whatever is going on. I have no Idea how to tag him to this post but if someone knows how or knows him well enough to point him to this thread, please do so.

Da_Czar, the community has your back. Even though I wasn't there from the beginning of SimNation, you taught me a lot over several years and I hate to see something going on.

Twitter too busy playing games not playing basketball

[jgreengutta]

He might be heated that they changed something so quickly without forcing people to learn

haha, ever shut down your Twitter/Facebook?



One of the best feelings in the world.



Czar seems like a cool guy, but he's still a 2k employee (right?). It's like the whole politician dilemma where even someone who wants to do the right thing can be exploited by a group. If he is gaining autonomy and speaking out, good on him.


Maybe he got reprimanded for the sarcastic gif, I dunno. I mean, I was on 2k sports forums when Ronnie (unless I'm super trippin) was a member, so I'm kind of nonplussed by the "one of us" thing. Still, yea he seems cool, but I'd rather have a strong voice like his on the outside, counter intuitively. I hope he's making decent money from 2k tho.

1. I hope he didn't get reprimanded either, that would be petty.

2. You're right about shutting down your account to clear the noise. I hope that's what it was.

3. Da_Czar > Ronnie and it's not even close. I'm not even talking about the circle jerk with the park players hating on him, etc. I'm only talking about dropping knowledge when you don't even have to... just for the sake of loving the game. That goes for before he became community rep and after.

Clint Oldenburg of the Madden team deleted his twitter too, either today or yesterday. Saddens me that the toxicity is winning.

[The 24th Letter]

Czar has been the same stand up dude since before he got on with 2K. He's most definitely one of us. Not even a question.

Sometimes you just want to get away from the noise for a little bit. Imagine 100 dudes tagging you on Twitter everytime someone scores a point on them in a video game, lol

However long his hiatus lasts, I wish him the best.

What.....
Czar we got your back big fella! Hopefully it's just him taking a break. I would legit boycott 2k if it's more than that. Like Joe said in the OP, Czar IS this community.
