Sunday Conversation with Prime <s>@</s>OptimusP76 and <s>@</s>Virtual_FBaller speak on the departure of <s>@</s>ScottOGallagher from <s>@</s>EASPORTSNBA


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo5Yg-StALs

3 minutes into the vid already have to call prime out on his usual BS. He says the Scott OG situation is similar to Wangs. Said he got it from his "sources' lol yea right. Issue number one, Wangs situation was he had a vision for the game he was building and EA wanted to start over. EA is not starting over with Live 15. Also he said OG wasnt for the community yet Prime popped into all of OGs streams attempting to buddy up like they were pals. Telling OG stop listening to the haters blah blah blah. Back to Primes "sources" Prime has already admitted he lied about playing Live 14 early. Said he did it to hype the fans up. So does anyone remember back before Elite 11 dropped and Prime said EA flew him out to come play the game early ? Prime told us Elite 11 was phenomenal(one of his favorite words). When the demo dropped and the backlash hit he came with a BS excuse it wasnt the same game he played. So im sure Prime lied about playing Elite 11 early. So yea I bet his sources are the same imaginary people that flew him out to play Elite 11 early. Notice in the vid he kept saying he didnt wanna get into explaining everything. You know why ? because he has nothing to explain.

I think we can all agree that Live 15 will be a better game than 14. With the improved graphics and the promises of over 500+ gameplay tweaks. There is no way Live 15 can be worse than 14. It would be virtually impossible to take a step backward at this point.

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

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

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.
