NBA 2K21 cover star provided constructive feedback for the game itself and has seen one of his requested changes make it into the game.
NBA 2K Gameplay Director has revealed that in a meeting with Damian Lillard, the Portland Trail Blazers star offered him feedback as well as a number of ideas.
In a post on the game's official website, he wrote, "I had the opportunity to jump on a Zoom call with cover athlete, Damian Lillard, a few months back. He is a huge 2K gamer and had a ton of great feedback and ideas for 2K21. But his biggest request?
"Being able to make an oversized PG in MyCAREER. So, for all you Penny Hardaway wannabes, you have Dame to thank for that as we have upped the max height for PG to 6'8". Dame continued to share his likes and dislikes of gameplay, which we then added to the running wishlist that we already had from the community.
"After compiling all the feedback, we came away with a great list of items that we knew the community wanted to see improved (e.g. long passes downcourt sailing out of bounds) and came up with skill-based solutions that would be more fun and fair for everyone."
Lillard responded to the post on his official Twitter account, saying, "Shoutout to the @NBA2K team for taking my feedback on how to improve #MyCAREER mode. I always wanted to be able to create a big PG in the game."
NBA 2K21 will officially be released on 4 September 2020.
