Da_Czar Brings Along Sim Nation, As He Joins the NBA 2K15 Team

04:02 PM - August 22, 2014 by Steve_OS

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!

WOW....just.....WOW!

NBA 2K15 will almost CERTAINLY have a highly improved offensive game. The anticipation is HIGHER than ever now..... can't wait to see what's being "built" / implemented.

CONGRATS CZAR!!!
