Mike Wang Has Left EA Canada and the NBA Live Development Team

2K has definitely had all those things...good post 24.

Not only has it had them, but it's tuned them up / perfected them over several seasons.

That's the frustrating thing with NBA Live...not only are half those things still missing, but they are going to take a long time (if ever) to bring them in succesfully.

There's a million things I could list...but, just to keep it short, look at rebounding. Five years in on the next gen systems and Live's rebounding is still terrible. There's basically no contest / the ball still floats randomly / small guards can magically grab the ball over 7 footers / boxing out rarely works / CPU players jump away from the ball and even out of bounds whilst the ball is in the air / there's not even something as simple as a kick out to re-set the offense. It's terrible.

The problem for NBA Live is that it's similiarly terrible in about 60% of the key areas. Fixing those things is going to take a long, long time.

You think adding words like "chaining" and "strategically" changes what the feature is? Listen...

-Im guessing you conceed on "sizing up" since you had no witty retort
-"Freestyle quickstrike" has been in the game for 3 years now...add whatever verbiage you want to it...its been in the game..
- "LT" has been used to box out for a LONG time...before 2k7 as a matter of fact...Its the reason I still hold LT even when I play Live out of habit...you not liking it\ feeling its inferior doesnt mean its not there bro
- As for your vid, im not sure as to what you were pointing out...point still remains they have been there lol

I wont derail the thread anymore though....I just wanted to point it out. Sure Live has had some game changing features this year...(total control passing among others) but lets be clear what they actually were...

As Sage would say, MJJ ethered himself.

I am sorry, but when 1 company makes a public statement about the guy leaving, then the following day, the other company makes a statement about him being back and a interview with him as to why. They kind of make it your business. If it wasnt, then there wouldnt have been a public statement about it by ANYONE. He would have just been there and thats that.
