Re: JaoSming Headed to 2K Sports and the NBA 2K Team

Ah he's a community producer for 2KTV....well at least he's got a nice view while producing

Congrats!

Re: JaoSming Headed to 2K Sports and the NBA 2K Team

He posted this on NLSC

"I am the community producer for the 2KTV show"



Maybe 2K is trying to kill the modding scene by hiring all of the modders

Or maybe they are suring up the team in preparation of loosing some members that will be working on the NFL 2K football comeback....hmmmm

I saw the thread title and was like "Nooooooooo". I'm crazy happy and excited for Jao, but if we lose out on the in-depth tutorials and direct contact, I'll be a little (probably a lot) bummed. He's a life-saver with all of his knowledge and you can't but love his Jao-isms and character. Good luck bro.

Wow! Awesome and congrats to jao! 2k has loaded it's team with the best of our community! Only thing that makes me sad is they have taken our best people who help with the flaws in the game but on the flip side having all these guys will hopefully ship a NEAR flawless game. It's great though to have all these passionate guys who were one of us who just love basketball and this franchise and have a passion for this game like we do!

Good pickup and job 2k!

Re: JaoSming Headed to 2K Sports and the NBA 2K Team

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand it will make the game even better and on the other hand JaoSming used to do all the hex editing tutorials for prior 2K games. Shiz.

Huge congrats to Jao, even though I don't know him personally, I feel like I do through his awesome modding tutorials. I wouldn't know half of what I've learned about modding/ 3d modeling etc if it weren't for him. I wish him nothing but the best of luck!

Re: Jon Smith "JaoSming" Headed to 2K Sports and the NBA 2K Team

Don't know him or any modders as I've never played these games on PC but if he's talented and 2k hired him that is very beneficial to all of us...grats JaoSMing!

2k hiring all these dudes is like they're the Expendables of gaming.

[WTF]

Re: Jon Smith "JaoSming" Headed to 2K Sports and the NBA 2K Team

Congrats Jao. Guy is a class act, and continually helped up and coming modders. He wrote many tutorials on modding. Great pickup for 2k.

Re: Jon Smith "JaoSming" Headed to 2K Sports and the NBA 2K Team

Goodness grief, 2K. Hoarding up all of the talent. I am officially excited beyond reason for this gen of 2K hoops. I know that these impacts won't be felt much this year; but a year or two from now? Good lord!

Re: Jon Smith "JaoSming" Headed to 2K Sports and the NBA 2K Team

Isn't it crazy that we've been saying, "hire these guys" for years, and then they snatch them up all in one year?

[Mr.Smif]

Re: Jon Smith "JaoSming" Headed to 2K Sports and the NBA 2K Team

2K buying out any threats to it's game

[Jakeness23]

I've been suggesting that they hire the PC modders for a while now...

When are y'all gonna hire me to run HR or something haha

Nice hire, congrats and good luck!

Re: Jon Smith "JaoSming" Headed to 2K Sports and the NBA 2K Team

It looks like 2K Sports has picked up Jon Smith, AKA JaoSming, to work on the NBA 2K series.

Most of you know him for his PC modding work on the series... Sometimes here, but mostly over at NLSC. For those unfamiliar with his work, check out his YouTube channel.

Let's wish him the best of luck.

2k16 will be off the chain!
