Good read: http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=13869
Most of this you've heard before but Rob Jones does go into some detail on the new double-team mechanic and talks about NBA Live and Mike Wang's defection.
"I would be stupid not to see what they're doing, especially in Live 10," Jones admitted. "Much has been made that the guy (Wang) that used to sit right next to me in the office went over to the NBA Live team this year. What I'm seeing in NBA Live is that he's bringing to them what conceptually I brought to NBA 2K6 and NBA 2K7 when I took over this role. I watch it, and he's delivering. He's delivering on the concepts that have made us very good up to this point. Is he trying to better some of the things that we've been doing? Yes, they're trying to better some of the things that we've been doing well over here. Every year we have competition, I go out and play it. I've taken away the good, and I've chucked away the bad. I've said, 'Hey, we need to be better in these areas.' That's what we work towards. In the end, the answer is simple. Yes, you look at the competition every year. Every time they say they are going to do something you want to know what they're doing, are they doing it well, are they doing it in a way that is realistic to the sport of basketball, and does it feel right. Then, you set out to make your game feel the way you think basketball should feel. We can't concern ourselves too much with what they're doing if we think we are walking down the right path, anyway.
