Re: ESPN: Mike Wang returns to 2K!

The expectations for 2K11 are going to be very, very high. Not only does 2K have the return of a very talented lead man, they now have someone who knows what works well in NBA Live and exactly how to implement it.

That's why I said "supposed". There were a ton of people predicting 2K10's downfall just a year ago based on what he was saying. Again, nice to have him back and I'm sure there will be a lot of talk about what he said in the interview. But ultimately I think it'll be typical forum speak where we collectively make an issue bigger than it is. His move to EA was supposed to signal the Age of Live - it didn't. I'd guess his return likely isn't going to be as huge as some will make it out to be. HE'S ONE PERSON, part of a team. But is nice to have him back; as Rocky said I'd like to see it free up/add resources to take on other projects. We need a football game.

And I still would've rather had Michael Jordan

He straight up blasted EA. Just makes you wonder what is going on with some of these development studios.
This guy blasted 2k when he left there aswell. The " 2k has reached its ceiling" comment was the a great shot at 2k. Hmmmm I wonder what he's gonna say now that he's back......."Ummm I never meant that" ....lololol good stuff. Sadly he loses respect in my eyes because he dogged both companies. He should of said I thank 2k/Ea for being able to work for both of em.

Edit: Mis-read your post . Mine is pertaining to Mike Wang.

Re: ESPN: Mike Wang returns to 2K!

This again just confirms how EA seems to view each game year as a different edition rather than building a game that improves each year. EA has a tendency to scrap features, introduce new ones without adding little by little.

Anyway the transition to "next gen" that was the debate, to start fresh or to carry over a solid game and make it better each year. The winner is pretty obvious by all accounts.

The Mike Wang news isn't really that interesting to me but the news as to why is. Mr. Wang please carry over the playbooks from Live....they are kicking 2k's *** with that!

Re: ESPN: Mike Wang returns to 2K!

Most important thing I hope he brings to NBA 2K is great controls. 2K's slow responsiveness can and should apply to bigger and older players, but not to the quick guards. Players like Rose and Rondo should be able to turn and stop on a dime while players like Dampier and D-Howard shouldn't, and it's obvious that Wang knows that in the way he had Live's guards moving.

Unfortunately, as a basketball gamer but an even bigger baseball gamer, I don't know what this means for us in the end. I'm not going to say that one person can't make the game better, but "where are the guarantees?" is all I'm asking.
