Scott O'Gallagher Leaves NBA Live Team to Join NBA 2K Team as Gameplay Producer

[Steve_OS]

As mentioned back in June, Scott O'Gallagher (AKA OG) left the NBA Live team. There was a very strong rumor leading up to today, that he was indeed heading to 2K Sports to join the NBA 2K team.

Doug Veney of GoodGameBro noticed a slight change in OG's twitter profile and it is now confirmed. Scott is now a Gameplay Producer for the NBA 2K series.

Hopefully Scott can chime in from time to time, with NBA 2K details, just as he did with the NBA Live series. Let's all wish him the best of luck.

Wow! This is like NBA superstars teaming up to create a great team. Probably won't have much affect on 2K15 but should make big contributions for future releases.

Well I don't know him but he's played basketball professionally and he's now a gameplay producer, so this is interesting...

Not sure if any of the 2K guys have any professional basketball experience but this seems like it's a good thing...

You won't have to wait until 2K16. He has already helped me immensely with features I've worked on. His basketball knowledge, understanding of how basketball video games work and willingness to help have been invaluable. And I can't speak for others, but I'm pretty sure his contributions are all over the game considering how hard I've watched him work with everyone here since the first day.

He has an amazing passion for the game, he's driven and he never says no when you want to throw an idea against him and discuss it for hours, nor does he shy away from bringing up and working with us on all the ideas he has.

An incredible addition to the team.

A guy that worked on NBA Live gameplay? No thanks. It's not necessarily a negative, it's not like this guy will just implement everything in Live obviously, but I don't see a positive really.

[Dntfearthegaza]

Just a Traitor really. Throwing your team that was trying to make a come back
Under the bus.. I hope nba live 15 does improve greatly. just tired of 2k and guys
That or quick to just ships jus because there classified has underdogs but what do I

Thanks Leftos. Good to know his contributions are being felt immediately. Will only add to the anticipation many of us have for this year's title. Can't wait to see the additional improvements.

Wow, sounds great, I was thinking about switching over to live but with MyLeague and all the great news coming out for 2k, it looks as if they've kept me on board.
