I dunno if this is a thing here but in the NHL scene, the game, including the competitive leagues, normally dies a death around July/August.
It's mostly because by that point, Hockey season is done for the summer, and because the upcoming game comes out in September, so everyone gets burned out, takes a break, then the leagues break records with new signups leading into the next season a few months later.
I really believe that 2K15, barring any horrific revelations about CAW modes sucking or the reveal that there is no online CAW play or something, will bring in a new major boom period for OCW.
We just have to hit the ground running on 2K15. We have to put together some good videos in a hurry. Good attires, good characters, and most importantly, and I'm looking at you Brennan, Dan, Kent, Gerald, Tobin, you guys have go to put on a fucking highlight reel of great matches right out of the gate.
People are going to be looking for something JUST LIKE THIS. I know because I spent a number of years looking for something JUST LIKE THIS every time the new year came out.
We have a core roster here. It's not much at a glance but this roster's balls are collectively dropping and it will be the backbone of the next era. The experience we built up in this down period will build a better roster in the near future. I know that the vets have all lived through this shit before and look what it did to them. It turns a stinking piece of worthless coal like Dan into a main event draw. It made him a butt rocking diamond.
Stop focusing on the doom and gloom and just do what you can now to contribute, get noticed, and make your name now while you still can, because when the 2K15ers roll through we're going to have to be mentors as well as people protecting our roster spot. Our place on the Kayfabe Tier List.
