“Co-creator of 2K” lmaoo
Tell Ronnie2K he’s a bytchass nikka for me then
I was a beta tester who had ideas... and they ended up using most of what I had to say up until they sold Sega Sports to Take 2 interactive which then created 2k Sports. I got in simply by going to Sega.com and clicking on CONTACTS at the bottom of the page. Then made a pitch about I know they about to start the beta phase for NBA2k1 and its based in Cali. But how do you know if it'll work on the east coast without testers? If you do test, I would like to be a part of the east coast beta testing team.
Thought nothing of it, didn't get a response. About a month later or so later I got a brown envelope in the mail.
Allen Iverson on the disc, with a Not for Resale sign on it
After the beta they said as a thank you for beta testing, you can keep the disc. This was march of 2000? Game came out in September
I got every 2k in the mail months in advance. Had to give feedback. And why do I say I was a co-creator? I told them how to use "cut-scenes" to keep the play immersive because it was on some fukk shyt back in them days. I told them to add ESPN, chris Bergman/etc. Signature shots which they added in 2k6. A bunch of other shyt. The series got stagnant after 2k6 and was considered mid until 2k11 when they put Jordan on the cover but my point for that is I saw how my ideas was used, how they sent me all their games, and then how all communication got cut off once they sold the studio. I don't know who was getting credit for my ideas, but I know what I said, and they kept me in the fold without me ever talking to anyone directly. It was all via email. I still have the letter Sega sent which is the NDA, but the actual emails was via Seganet which was the online service for Dreamcast.
