Creating all sorts of different mods for the NBA 2K series over there and also offering a helping hand over here. He will truly be a huge addition to the team.

Congrats, I really see this as a huge plus for video game basketball, and the sim community, and all the work you've put in over the years. Well deserved.

# 33 j3nkins29 @ 04/18/13 11:22 AM

This is great news. I could tell by hearing him on sim nation radio that Leftos is very passionate about basketball gaming, and he has made amazing tools that have made the game much better for the community. It will be great to have someone from the sim community working on the game now.

Pardon my ignorance folks...but Leftos heading to 2k will mean all around better gameplay/over look of the game? We all know it will never look like the PC verison..but will it come close?

# 35 LD2k @ 04/18/13 01:42 PM

I'll do my best to improve NBA 2K in every way I can. Can't make any promises on what will be improved specifically, but what I can promise is that I'll be working on the game with the same energy and passion that I worked on all the modding tools. Check out my GitHub to see what I'm talking about. (https://github.com/leftos/) Late in February, I had been working 14 straight days on tools like NBA Stats Tracker, NBA 2K13 Roster Editor, Hex on Steroids, NBA 2K Speech Recognition, etc. Imagine that passion applied to the game itself, instead of things that improved the game from the outside.

Oh I was trying to build rep on OS.

Was I doing it wrong?

It's been a great couple of years, and the opportunity that was given to me is nothing sort of amazing. I wouldn't be where I am right now without all of you guys, and I won't forget that. I'll do my best to make sure the NBA 2K franchise only keeps getting better and better. I'll do my best to make you all proud.

I told you this through facebook too, but man, if one person deserves to be hired after all you've been through, and because of the skills you have, it is you!Now live your dream because you are gonna be paid for what you like to do!

Having you in is a guarantee that the game is gonna be even better next year!
