OS is Visiting 2K Next Week, Ask Your Questions Here!

07:26 PM - March 9, 2017 by RaychelSnr

Next week, I'll be heading out to California to have a chat with several former OS'ers who are now working at 2K on the NBA 2K series. We're going to talk about a lot of topics such as what its like to work at 2K, what the transition from community members to game makers was like, and also some of the nuts and bolts behind the approaches to their jobs.

In short we kind of get to learn some of the hows and whys of game development.

We're going to be having some extended conversations in the 2K Studio about all of this and the videos will be posted afterwards on OS. We're giving you guys the chance to submit questions to the team now to the run-up of the event next Thursday. Obviously we're not going to get any unreleased info on secret plans for NBA 2K18 (sorry guys) but if you have questions about why they do certain things, how they approach their jobs, or what being in the games industry is like, we'd love to be able to talk about them.

Submit your questions in the comments, and I'll try to ask as many of them as possible when I have my sit down with the guys at 2K next week!

Why can't I edit the ages of players on the Historic roster but I can edit the age of players on Normal Rosters?

Why is there long pauses in between dribbling animations now?

# 22 AshamanCarnage @ 03/10/17 02:25 AM

Are there any plans to fix the abysmal loading times?

Are there any plans to fix the severs?

General and nothing specific, but can someone touch base with 2k's audio engineers and why 2k basketball still falls behind other parts of the game (i.e. crowd doesn't react properly, crowd doesn't react properly to timeouts, 10-2 runs, not just crowd enthusiasm during the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter; throughout the entire game, all quarters, etc. etc. etc. etc.). I believe there was a similar thread started last year where an OS representative requested users post questions so he could take them to 2k's studio. I would have like to have seen some type of "mini-interview" conducted with the audio engineer, but nothing ever transpired. Maybe this year OS/2k could address the audio portion?

Are you proud of this year's game?

# 25 2_headedmonster @ 03/10/17 04:26 AM

How much of the features worked on are rolled over extensions of last years features vs fresh concepts?

# 26 binga30 @ 03/10/17 04:31 AM

Are 2K getting back into Football and Hockey? What about NCAABasketball, they appear to have some deal already for the logos etc...

# 27 KyotoCarl @ 03/10/17 05:53 AM

Why doesn't the Rising Stars game have accurate jerseys yet?

# 28 Smirkin Dirk @ 03/10/17 06:38 AM

I think we should take the chance to look big picture.

What 3 areas will you want to improve in the next 5 years?

Do you think there is a such a distinction as sim versus casual 2Kers?

How will the seeming shorter console generations effect 2K development?

# 29 blk5tar5 @ 03/10/17 07:53 AM

Can you take a picture of 2K servers or is their server a peer to peer?

Is 2K going to work on gameplay?

How are they going to fix matchmaking?

Why when I'm playing on Hall Of Fame there seems to be scripting going on to put the CPU in position to always win or make the games close during the fourth ?

# 31 ph33 @ 03/10/17 08:16 AM

Is next year's game also going to require the community to find out how to get badges?

# 32 Syce @ 03/10/17 08:19 AM

ask them if they are able to add the ability to have different clothing/gear on each mycareer created character. because for example. i love having long socks on my point guard, but i dont like them on my small forward.

# 33 Mintsa @ 03/10/17 09:45 AM

Play now online, mirror matches, make them stop.

I just joined a few months ago, I think it's pretty cool OS members now work for 2K.

- Servers - everybody says they need to fix them. What does that mean exactly. What do they use now and how can it be improved in the future. Why is there more latency in this game as opposed to others and what are the challenges 2K faces regarding this issue.

- What is the biggest challenge in turning ideas (their own or others) into reality. There are 1000s of ideas people have for the game, what is the process of turning an idea into actual gameplay.

Thanks

first I would like to thank them for all the efforts .

My Question is simple ...

Offline does not get any attention Why ?
I'm only going to mention one simple thing

Myplayer specifically does not get much attention the simplest thing like accessories colors to match team mates colors , year after year not fixed .

caps still exist for offline player !

# 37 kidmadison32 @ 03/10/17 10:31 AM

When is there going to be a 2K Football game made?

Can created players in NBA 2K get a little more attention (better hairstyles, having tattoos, being able to choose the Sig Rhythm Dribble, being able to choose how to celebrate like the MyPlayers)?

I have honestly forgotten that the Signature Rhythm Dribble was a thing simply because I couldn't edit them for my created players...

# 38 BryceKemp @ 03/10/17 10:34 AM

What are the plans on 2k18 to fix the body types. Also in MyTeam could be possible to have different camera angles for example during the game I will like to have Broadcast angle and on FT I will like to have 2k angle.

# 39 Crunky @ 03/10/17 11:04 AM

Will they implement a 2k/broadcast style camera in game.

# 40 outkaz79 @ 03/10/17 11:07 AM

Sneak in a question about a possible football game PLEASE!!!
