Congrats VC

Simply amazing and well deserved. People were calling me crazy when I said the NBA 2k series was just as financially important as the Grand Theft Auto franchise for Take-Two http://www.operationsports.com/forum...to-series.html It doesn't sound so far fetched now, does it? NBA 2k16 will sell 10 million copies as I predicted before it's release. Congratulations 2K!

Invest, put in the hard work & the rewards will come. Much deserved. Every Developer of any sports game needs to look to this game as a reference point. NBA 2K16 should be the standard in sports games not the exception.

Well deserved with such a great game.

I don't mean to imply 2k was lazy before, just going to say that this is what happens when their is some form of competition.

# 7 Sinner @ 10/02/15 10:43 AM

Damn that's nice, congrats to all that worked on the game. Definitely well deserved, I'm enjoying the hell out of so many parts of the game. Loving it.

Awesome to hear, but please use that to upgrade the servers to keep those players coming back.

# 9 ksuttonjr76 @ 10/02/15 10:57 AM

Well deserved. I've haven't been getting my proper sleep due to this game. I'm getting like 4 hours of sleep per night... But if I could go without sleep I would, lol.

# 10 kadzier @ 10/02/15 10:58 AM

maybe the server problems are because they had no idea it would sell so much

anyway this is definitely among the most realistic simulations of a sport on the market, so well deserved. the madden guys should take note

Yeah, this needs to be posted every time someone gives a "this is why 2k is falling off" rant when they don't like something, lol

Great job on the game fellas, keep up the good work, keep in touch with the community and keep on putting out a quality product...

They deserve every penny, my only issue with this game is that I will from now on compare other sports games to 2k16, and that isn't fair to other games, this game really feels like my first next gen sports gaming experience.

# 13 zrohman @ 10/02/15 11:10 AM

Not to mention they probably got $10 or more in VC already off of half of those people, and many bought the Jordan edition. .. can you say $$$$$$$$

# 15 pdawg17 @ 10/02/15 11:28 AM

Sure seems like they have plenty of money to fix their servers by now...sheesh...

Actually , SDS has been the standard for sports games for many years now. They listen and interact with the consumer.
