Lots of speculation in this thread. Developers are always shifting around in the game industry and it's no so uncommon for developers to go to a competitors side. I would be very worried if a lead game play or engine programmer left than a designer. Now I wouldn't worry about Live 15 at this stage; features, mechanics, and other things have been locked in(or sure as hell should be by this stage in the development) and are just receiving polish before launch. Regardless, best of luck to Scott!

OG is a good dude but the success/failure of NBA Live didn't rest on his shoulders.

Having played pro ball, his input had some meaning behind it. His team specific defense is exactly what is needed inside of a video game. Just needed to be fleshed out a bit more but I understood his madness. I really felt he was trying to put as much sim minded stuff as he possibly could inside of the game. No one can really get mad at that.

I wish him the best.

s could be good news for EA. As much as he might have been a key cog. He could have been in the way too. Hopefully EA can move on and persevere thru this.

Considering the state of Live and the success of NBA 2K, I can't see why 2K Sports would bring him on in that capacity.

I'm not sure I want any parts of EA messing with NBA 2K.

Just look at Live and look at 2K. How can this be good?
