Da_Czar Lends a Hand to the NBA 2K12 Team, With an Assist From The OS Community

06:36 PM - September 2, 2011 by Steve_OS

Da_Czar checks in with a report for Sim Nation. Check out his most recent article, discussing how he helped the NBA 2K12 team with an assist from the OS community.

Quote:


	Before I left for 2K I combed through OS and 2K's forums and read, started or inquired into already established threads about what the Nation was interested in. It was fun as well as challenging to solicit feedback from those who had no idea they might end up contributing directly to the making of NBA 2K12. Some leaped at the chance unknowingly, to their own benefit. While others, amazingly, passed on the opportunity like Rondo does open jumpers at crunch time. While I can�t and won�t say what all has been added or adjusted to the game as a direct result of your input and analysis. I will say this. Practically everything I had on my list was either already worked on, fixed on the spot, or improved upon as much as was possible at that stage in the development cycle.

This is fantastic, fantastic news. You got the opportunity i used to dream about.
It wasn't a selfish dream. I just knew about ways to improve the game so it could become more of a simulation.
It now has become a reality because the community is helping shape the game and one of us(Da Czar) was recruited into the board of directors. lol
Much props to 2k for believing in the Sim community and having the same vision, and also for caring about the fans.

Props to you Da Czar for your knowledge and dedication to Sim basketball. You're work is paying off and we all should be grateful.
October 4th is a day to rejoice Sim Citi!

Let's face it 2K really listens to their fanbase, and Hardcore gamers; As for EA, they dont listen to nobody but their shareholders who are not gamers at all, just walking wallets$.

My two cents,
cheers

As far as I understand from the article, Czar is now working for 2KSports. Is that right?

CONGRATS, Czar! You just took 1 of my dream jobs! LOL

And mad props to 2KSports for listening to the community.

yeah this preview collision detection reports got me excited...but apparently im the sucker now....

i mean, really, a spinmove through another players chest??? i can do with some limb clipping (though i really hate that too) but body through body? its ridiculous....

Oct. 4th Can't Wait. With Da_Czar in the building i know its improved i can still remember when he broke down NBA Live 10 "Strategic Control"!! lol Lets Go!

Great read and even better news, knowing that a company is willing to do this is huge. Thanks Da Czar and 2k

Changed my outlook Czar. Everything you said and everything else I hear sounds like they really put community input first.

Good read and good luck with the new site.

What was your outlook before? Just because things may not make it into the game doesn't mean they weren't listening.

There's a reason OS is listed in the game's credits.

# 34 uraz3r0 @ 09/03/11 03:03 PM

This is why OS is amazing. Seriously, all who work on this site should just feel straightup peachy right now.

It's supposed to be the NBA Elite logo, judging by the image name.

# 37 DaWolf @ 09/03/11 03:36 PM

Thats awesome Czar - thx for your contribution

# 38 youvalss @ 09/03/11 03:40 PM

Czar should have made it to the commentary team. I'd rather listen to him.
