NBA 2K17 News Post



Editor Chris Sanner recently got a chance to go out to 2K and chat with several members of the NBA 2K team about what it was like to go from a member of the OS and Sports Gaming Community to working in gaming. This first video introduces you to everyone I talked to, what they do at 2K, and how they went from community member to making games.

Coming up in future videos we have conversations on what its like to work in games, misconceptions people in the community may have, and also some tips and ideas about how you can angle yourself to get noticed and work on a game like NBA 2K as well.

As part of this series, we are also wanting to encourage anyone interested in working in gaming to look into it. The results of what former OS'ers have been able to do at 2K Sports in particular speaks for itself!

If you are interested in seeing if you have what it takes, we are encouraging all members of the community to contact Chad Riggleman, a recruiter at 2K Sports, about how you may fit in with their future. E-mail Chad at [email protected].

Always wondered what happened to Momentus Celtic. Before Shady blew up, there was Momentus. His trailers use to be awesome back in the day.

My start came out of NCAA FOOTBALL 98 With Danny Wuerffel.

I saved my money for 3 weeks to get that. Then lost it in a hole in my pocket. My grandmother felt so bad for me. That she went out and got it for me while we were in a flea market. She talked the guy down price wise. My cousins and I played that until it started skipping. We got NCAA 99 by pooling all our money together. And then we got into Roster making. To think we would by the rosters from someone online and then sell it in neighborhood for 2 bucks. Even then I knew NCAA Football had to come to a end eventually. Renaming players to their actually name was definitely wrong and backwards loop hole. Best part was when in Madden you could transfer those players into a draft class for franchise mode. We would create our self on the team of our choice played through 4 years of NCAA then get drafted into the NFL. My cousins and brother and friends until this day talk about all the crazy awesome season we had. I followed OS for years. Since the start. I never made a profile until 2008.

By the way, I'm from Brooklyn, NYC. My cousins and I still follow college football hardcore. That's why when people ask us what's your favorite team. We says "All of team". We even know all the fight songs by heart lol.

Kind of a slap in the face that this thread isn't more active.

I salute you dudes that made the jump.
