LIST OF EVENTS AND FEATURES
Sink or Swim (NEW)
Fire and Ice (NEW)
Sink or Swim
Description :
Sink or Swim is a 5v5 competitive multiplayer event where users must go undefeated in order to win the top prize. Implementing this event was challenging as it needed to include mechanics for removing users from the matchmaking pool, effectively imitating tournament structured gameplay scoring.

My Role :
Sink or Swim was designed by another Visual Concepts studio, my team at VCA worked to implement the feature into NBA2K22 for the Xbox 1 and PS4. I helped with the construction of presentation cameras, debugging said cameras, and coaching other designers through the camera creation process.

Fire and Ice
Description :
Fire and Ice is a PVP online Matchmaking event for NBA2K on PS4 and Xbox 1. Fire and Ice gave users immediate ‘Takeover’ which boosted their players attributes and abilities. The catch being, that once they score, their takeover immediately goes away and they are put into the ‘Cold’ state which lowers their attributes and abilities.
