Gameplay Designer Scott O’Gallagher Leaving EA Sports For 2K Sports?

How can EA expect to fight for the NBA video game title, if they can't keep their innovations and design talent in house? (Wang, OG) I expect to see something from NBA LIVE in the next 2K. I am hopeful for LIVE 15, but this is a bigger move for 2K, which sorely needs better ideas in their series, IMO.

Corey, thanks for the post, very informative. I think we all want 15 to succeed, we love being able to choose which NBA game to play and have a hard to deciding because both bring something to the table. I guess when you put it like it makes me a little more concerned with the decision. Hopefully EA gets it together before October.

Scott OG is like Lebron of the NBA games community, he left NBA Live (Cavs/Kyrie cover) to join 2K(Heat/Lebron) cover.

That's Pretty Messed up of Scott OG if you ask me. Leaving is one thing, but leaving for 2k, that's just wrong. I guess it's Karma? From when EA stole Mike Wang?

Anyway, I just hope he's not over there Spilling every idea EA has for the Future to the 2k Devs so they can copy and try to make it look better and original. I Still think EA Has the tools to be an original Basketball title with the Physics engine, scanning technology, and all the other Shared systems within the Ignite.

Just kinda bugs me how every secret and plan they've had underwraps for a while now is at risk of exposure because one guy felt disgruntled "I'm Assuming". Just Hoping from here on out they put out a Team that is Dedicated to "NBA Live" full of creative, innovative, and basketball minded people.

Couldn't agree more. If he gives away information about what live is doing I think its a wrap for the live series. Og is a lot smarter than some than some of you guys think and I know his ideas would have hurt the other game in the future

That's true, but hey, what if he tried to bring his ideas and higher ups shot them down? Pssh I love Live but if they used that EA corporate ladder bull**** and shut him down, I could understand if he brought those ideas to 2K.

I always like listening to OG on Da Czar's podcasts/youtube videos. He has good insight into basketball and I really like hearing his opinions on the NBA game. But, in all honesty, I wasn't feeling his videos and other social interaction with Live. He always came across very flat and disinterested.

I was under the impression this happened a long time ago when I stopped seeing his involvement in the game.

Regardless, best of luck to him on his future endeavors.

No one said he quit. For all we know he could've been let go.

Nothing wrong with that, but every game needs a balance between the two. You can play 2K arcade style, and simulation, it's built for both, and they have a ton of sliders. Live was mainly how they tuned the game for the users, so fans didn't really have a choice

spot on.... sliders/ability to edit the roster/CAP all need to be in live15. It creates a more personalized gaming experience

The problem is why EA can not keep their staff!! (paid or ??)
besides, I think the competition is not only for the game but also for the HR!
