elite 11 was worse than live 10, something to consider.. but I get your point.

You all saying this can't be good for EA at all.... what is that based on? Have you all been involved in the production of the game? Do you know what is going on behind the scenes? I'm guessing no. This could be wonderful for the Live team for all we know. A basketball mind is one thing, how it translates to the video game world could be another. Mike Wang wasn't a professional basketball player. Does that mean that he isn't good at his position? On the same token, OG was a professional player, does that automatically make him good at his position?

How about before anyone jumps to any conclusions, we wait and see how the product starts shaking up. If he's truly gone from EA, I think we at least owe it to the guys who are on the team to see what they do. For all we know, they could have Mike Wang Part 2 on the team, someone without professional playing experience, but knows the game and knows how to make it happen in game.

Just my 2 cents.

Also, this is not a knock on OG at all. Dude seems like a class act, and wish him all the best if he's gone from EA and Live. But the unknown is how this effects anything. Could be good, could be bad, could be indifferent.

Couldnt agree more and just wanna add to your comment, not to disrespect OG but what has he even done in this industry for people to say this cant be good ? The guy has a little over a year of experience developing a AAA basketball title.

Why does his Twitter bio say he's still with EA? I would think a company like EA would have non-compete clauses in their employee contracts that prohibit them from leaving to immediately work for a competitor.

For all we Know EA could've pulled a Jason Kidd on him
