Sources confirmed with Doug Veney (from GoodGameBro) yesterday that Scott O’Gallagher (AKA OG), Gameplay Designer for the NBA Live series is no longer with the team.

Could he be on his way to 2K Sports and the NBA 2K team?

I've reached out to a few members of the 2K Sports team to confirm. Either way, we wish him the best of luck, wherever he might land.

Wow, definitely interesting. To be honest, if he worked on team specific defense last year as well as bouncetek, I don't know how much this really hurts. Bouncetek was/is a good idea, but the team specific defense wasn't really a good showing last year.

Regardless, good luck OG, wherever your journey leads you.

Again ! It let me remind the nba elite!
Hope that thing would not be what I thought !
I can image the similar bouncetek will be in 2k just like the features of live10 in 2k11 !

This is very interesting to me, Happening this LATE in the Cycle. It could mean a couple of things.

1. NBA Live decided to go in Different direction.

2. 2k15 NOT turning out like 2k wanted so they Trying to find someone to clean it up.

Either way, Good luck to ALL Involved. Hope it works out for BOTH Companies.

Obviously this has yet to be officially confirmed, but who benefits & who loses? Does OG really carry that much hype or are we missing what's really going on? Can't wait to hear what's really going on

Interesting. So do the people who ragged on him and live now like him..?

JODYE · 06-25-2014, 04:04 PM

I was going to say, if the Team Specific defense was his contribution, then we really won't be missing too much.

I really don't think this departure will shift Live's focus this year. They seem to have a pretty sound idea now of where they want to take this franchise. With or without him.

I do wish him the best of luck at 2k if that is indeed where he is going.
