NBA 2K15 News Post


One image, one voice...

I've talked to him over the phone, chatted with him on AOL Instant Messenger (yes we are both that old). Never saw the guy in my life, but I met him by surprise at 2K Sports headquarters 4 or 5 years ago. He didn't have to introduce himself. I heard his voice as he walked through and I shouted at him. BIG CZAR!

While most know him as Da_Czar, his real name is Nino Samuel.

I've worked with him in the background for years and watched all of his YouTube videos from start to finish. Posted many of them on OS for everyone to watch and learn from. We even host some of his videos here at OS.

Today, it was announced that he has joined the NBA 2K development team, full time. He will be working with the gameplay team and will focus on the offensive AI system.

Please show this man some love by congratulating him on his new job.

Hopefully, he has the time to chime in at OS, like he has done over the years. All the best Nino!

Congrats Da_Czar! It was a joy to see your video breakdown on sim basketball between both Live and 2k throughout the years. I hope you are successful at your new endeavor.

Now with Da Czar there, spacing and off ball movement will finally get fixed in the NBA 2K series.

Long, long over due. Love seeing knowledgeable, good people get rewarded. Czar is just as much one as he is the other.

Can I just sit in the initial "what are we going to do for 16" meeting?

I mean you can kick me out as soon as its over if you want to. I'll sign multiple NDAs lol

Can only imagine the energy in the room
