Nah, once they sold 2K to Take-Two I was never contacted again
I got in simply by emailing Sega.com one day, asking if I could speak to someone
Then gave them a pitch... Was like "Yo, I know you guys will be testing out the service across the country soon and you could use someone like me to try out the connections in the DMV area"
One month later, NFL 2K1 is at my doorstep before it released. Said Beta on the disc
Once they beta was over, they said we could keep the disc (since it was really just a retail disc with the word beta on it)
Then NBA 2K1 ends up in my mailbox. And every other 2K sports game until Sega sold the franchise
So the people who would take my ideas, input was feeling it cuz I really told them everything I wanted to see in sports games. There main issue was the immersion. After a basket, players would teleport to the sidelines
Or it would be way too robotic. I express how that has to be changed, next version it is changed
And I see the devs talking about these changes like if they came up with it all
Then NBA2k2 or 3 whatever ends up on my doorstep 2months in advance.
That told me they valued my ideas cuz no other company would do that, and I beta tested for numerous companies over the years.
I feel I could save 2K right now if I was able to drop more input. Right now, they focusing on bullshyt too much
They need to stick to one type of controls.. every year changes is now bullshyt
They need to focus on adding online modes, and getting the online to play correctly
I'd take a 2k11 with 2k14 graphics and be in heaven. It shouldn't be that hard if thats ALL they gotta work on
They could even ask for help on that.. Microsoft already offers dedicated servers, Take-2 is just bullshytting
They have become stagnated. They ran out of ideas years ago basically
