Has 6thmanSam ruined 2k to the ground ?
-
Content has been dog shit for most part this year, not even gonna go into whole Phill debacle from last year.
As content creator i am sure he has a lot of say how these cards are, even guy himself goes into streams/streams himself about how things going to be.
IDK whats the story with the dude, but as absurd shits been, giving Luka no point guard position must be biggest joke of all time.
Cover athlete my ass.

Sam: I've seen that

@knezius maaaaaan you cannot put the consistent year after year Shit show that is myteam on one man’s shoulders…he doesn’t even have juice like that over there. This mode has been on rapid decline for YEARS, it’s BEEN ruined. As soon as take two saw this was a profitable mode and they could monetize every single aspect of it from badges to animations, and people would STILL spend millions? That was the moment this Shit was a wrap.
No he didn’t ruin myteam, and no he can’t save myteam. This Shit is a money train heading towards a cliff.
2K ruined myteam

2K ruined myteam
IDK, gameplay for me minus paint mashin is pretty decent, but the card releases been worst of all time, not even comparable to years before, hence the take.
-
I don't think Sam has any power at 2k so this isn't his fault. I still think he should be communicating but 2k has him on gag order.
-
@dznasty Surely, he can at least give them input on card drops and other things the community is unhappy with. He's not as powerless as you guys think.
-
Nah kid is just another 2K punching bag, same as Ronnie. They’re basically just getting paid to deal with all the abuse from the 2K community so the higher ups don’t have to.
-
@6thManSam more like 6 millimeter Sam. No one satisfies a woman LESS than him.
6 stroke Sam
6 seconds Sam
6 apologies Sam -
@knezius bro, i think you’re GREATLY overestimating his power at 2K. He’s been there for a year, he isn’t calling any shots whatsoever.

Calling all shots? Sure. But he MIGHT have a great input on what goes. He had to get his hands wet at 1st (like we all do at new jobs) and now there we're.

Look at it like this:
You’re a manager at a retail store, the regional director and the CEO walk into your location, you tell them “people don’t like these socks, we should switch it up” the regional and ceo tells you that these socks are selling like hotcakes not only in your location but across the country…and they’re not changing anything
That’s the extent of his power. He’s an assistant manager at very BEST. His words will fall on deaf ears to the dollar.
We’re the very small minority who cares about the quality of this mode. We are the 5 customers that went into the store and bitched about the socks. The other 98.9% doesn’t care, and they buy the shit out of the socks aka these shitty cards. They don’t care about our complaints, no matter how much Sam tells them this little niche community of myteam fanatics complains….they care WAY more about the 98.9% of Timmy’s that don’t.

Sorry to say, it’s not even a MIGHT. He 100% does not have any great input or juice. He’s replaceable, he’s expendable. They can hire a new Sam tomorrow. Dude is trying to keep his job and pay his bills…not make a handful of myteam faithfuls happy.
Sucks to hear, but it’s the truth.
Only way this mode changes is from outside competition, nobody on the inside can save it. Their corporate investors are making money hand over fist, they’re going to step on this game and stretch it out as much as they can so they can milk every dollar
You’ll have 3 Luka PG cards by years end. This is all just one big stall out to keep you spending more as the year goes on.
-
I’m not blaming sam but as soon as this dude got the job 2k has been on a downfall lol
-
@errolzzz not really, because last year the free content was the absolute best it ever was. There was some great cards last year, dope TT rewards, spotlights etc…and it happened right when he got on. So does he deserve credit for that too?
I’m sure they hired more people that we don’t know about because they’re not active in the community and they might be the ones to blame…can’t just put it on one guys back because he’s the only person you know of that works there
This is why I’d NEVER want to work for myteam after being active in the community, you become the sacrificial lamb when everyone isn’t happy. I would be in here cussing y’all the fuck out
-
@12th Look at the amount of packs ripped today. Unless this is a tactical business move, these packs clearly failed and based on the amount of cards pulled, a significantly greater proportion than 1% care about the quality of this game.
You can't compare him to an assistant manager when he's probably in direct contact with the my team manager and in a select group of Devs. He almost certainly would be able to raise a lot of concerns with them, but doesn't. -
@darth bro do you know how many devs there are for a franchise this big?
You do understand they hire people yearly right? There’s 10 6th man sams there my guy, he’s one of many. The only reason you guys are putting it on him is because you KNOW him. What about Tom? Jim? Bob? Steve? Johnny? The people you don’t know who have the same position Sam does. Why aren’t they on the hook like him lol? They don’t have power bro, we have to think logically. The company boosted collection levels by 2000-3000 cards, they’re stretching out cards to make MORE money….that is a call the higher ups make, not some computer nerd programming the game. Those guys just do what they’re told, they just want to make a good game…the suits need them to make a good game that’s going to continuously make profit all year.
5 Luka pg’s will make more money than 3
It’s a no brainer
-
He’s outta touch with this community these days but I doubt he can control the power drip. He probably recommends shit and it gets controlled by someone else. Lotta cool stuff gets cut by upper management in game development
-
Wake me up when nba live makes a come back and make an ultimate team like fifa 2k would be out of business and bankrupt lmao ea got so much money and don’t wanna make a basketball game
-
@errolzzz as much as i pray for the day…EA is shook bruh, they obviously can’t compete. 2K sat these niggas down close to 3 years now, that should tell you that they’ve more than likely tried behind the scenes and realize “we can’t compete with them from a game play and visuals perspective”. Otherwise they would’ve been done came from the throne.
I think we’re going to have to deal with this shit for a LONG LONG LONG time
-
@12th for specifically one game mode in one of their many games, I highly doubt there is a considerable number of Devs. Look at the fact that they constantly make simple mistakes like spelling errors, wrong information, locker codes and other in-game mistakes. There can't be as many Devs as you are referring too and haven't there been complaints about understaffing for year.
-
@12th lol that why 2k got us by our necks cause no matter how terrible shit gonna be it’s the only basketball game out so we always gonna come back
-
@darth bro the devs work on all game modes lmao. All animations, etc come from one core group. 2K is a multibillion dollar franchise, one of the biggest sports games on the planet…you think they don’t have a lot of devs? They just hired 200 new employees from a company they just bought out.
-
@errolzzz yup, they have a crazy monopoly on this shit.
The ONLY way this changes is if EVERYONE stops playing all modes that require VC.
Just play PNO, that’s it…even if for just 3 months! Bet they switch it up
But as long as people give in and buy VC, it’s not changing. The addiction this community has to the game is just as bad as the company itself. In the end we created the monster because we refuse to stop feeding it
2K has the worst business practices in gaming. Madden is the only football game and even they’re not this shitty. At its core, 2K is just has piss poor business ethics. More than the devs, it’s their front office that needs to be overhauled. Their greed has consumed them.
-
@12th There are going to be a subdivision of Devs for each game-mode. There is a core group of Devs but then there are those for specific game modes. Half the Devs assigned to each mode want know fuck all about it other than they are told what to program etc. 6thmanSam's job has nothing to do with programming and there aren't going to be many just focused on marketing in the my team mode lol.
-
@darth even if that’s the case, he’s a new employee bro…he wasn’t brought on to change the mode up. It’s a money game, the suits make the final call. If they see that revenue climbed last year dropping 5 Lukas, why would they switch gears and give you an opal Luka that can play pg now when they know they can drop 3 more Lukas at PG throughout the rest of the year and quadruple their profits?
How can you not see this lol? It’s all money bro, nothing more and nothing less.
5 Lukas will make them more than 3
And if sams job is to MARKET aka MAKE MONEY, he better be on board with their plan or he can find a new job because there’s 50 people willing to take his spot
-
I want to shame Sam as often as possible

Sam suggesting changes in myteam: Hey so the community is saying that they want an opal PG luk….
2k suits:

I never tried to argue this lol. That was literally the point if he wanted to he could help improve the game-mode (not saying he necessarily prevail), but simply doesn't care about us lmao.
-
@darth i think as someone who plays the game just as much as we do…he cares. But i also think as someone who is new at his job and wants to KEEP his job, he probably has to walk a line and stay in line.
I don’t really envy his position at all tbh. It’s either kick up dust to fight the good fight and possibly lose your dream job, or build up your equity within the company and play your role until you’re in a position to do more.
-
Yeah like people said he's just become the Ronnie2K for myteam lmao. He probably can't do anything.
But 2K definitely needs to have more transparency with the weekly content release. I also think getting the community involved (voting for weekly themes/players to be released, etc.). would solve a lot of issues.
-
Lets blame brian. The dude that be on 2ktv. Dude has lackluster content written all over his face

Don't forget the eyeliner
-
Nope.. truthfully 2k had serious issues way before Sam took over. No one should be blaming him. Just my 2 cents…
-
Lol NO. We've all been playing 2k way too long to be blaming Sam or even Ronnie for 2ks shortcomings lol the fuck.
-
I think clutch time is a real fun game mode, the problem is the absolutely awful rewards. 100 mt for running a 5 man lineup? Losing mt after each game is a big No No.
-
Content doesnt have to mean new cards/week.. Gameplay, new gamemodes, team building, card collecting, variety etc more important for me in a sports game.
6thmanSam doing a bad job, but I blame him for other reasons.
For me the way 2k realising new cards, like 99 all around cards with multiple hof badges for rotation players too is already too much. I know Im in a minority cause most of us want all the cheesy animations, quick releases, op jumpshots, dribble styles etc but the game was way more fun before they dropping PDs. And in the last years we got galaxy opals and dark matter too. What a BS.
In other sports games base cards are playable till end game. Here its impossible to even imagine it. Base diamonds already under 10k.
I think they went too far when they added more card tiers and now its no way back.
When every card can do everything, and every game feels like the same, the game is dead. And with 2k, its just earlier every year. -
@stdavid91 how’s he doing a bad job if he’s NOT IN CHARGE lol?
Why does everyone think this dude is over there calling the shots? I’m fucking confused
Sam is about as in charge there as Matt Poz is in charge here smh
I don’t even fuck with dude like that (especially since he started ghosting this site) but damn…y’all gotta realize he has zero to do with why this mode is dumpster juice, the dudes a glorified coffee getter.
-
@12th he is the producer of MyTeam. Thats where animations got changed, where non shooting bigs got Hof shooting badges, 99 Bol Bol dropping, SG Porzingis exist etc all the fantasy nba jam bs happened in myteam since he is the producer.

No he’s not Lmao!
Bro that’s a major position, Sam couldn’t even get the fucking Phil Jackson card fixed last year. That dude has ZERO pull. All he can do is give them feedback of what the community is saying (those are his own words btw) Where do you guys get this info that he’s responsible for dropping PD bols and Shit lol? Is everyone just assuming this?
-
@12th Thats in his bio every site.
-
@stdavid91 bro just use a little common sense here my friend…
He himself has said all he can do is give the devs a heads up for fixes, upgrades, etc…if they CHOOSE to fix it that’s on them, but he has no control over there.
What makes you think he is deciding what content we get? You can check his old post here before you showed up, dude said himself he doesn’t have any real authority there. Myteam content, etc isn’t a one person decision bro.
The reason why everyone assumes he had some kinda juice is because when those crazy cards were dropping last year everyone jerked him off about it, and he ate it up…he should’ve been more transparent instead of being a glory hound. Now that shits bad he’s a ghost and doesn’t want to show his face because that shit backfired now that he has to eat the shit along with the sugar.

I am sure scam reports to Ronnie. Ronnie got promoted I guess.
