This is how Mike Wang got into the sports gaming industry. It never gets old for me when I hear Mike talk about this.

Mike isn't the only one to get a job in the industry from posting at OS. You never know who's watching...

Make sure to check out the teaser video at IGN, the full video will be available on Wednesday.

Remember live? Money matters but Mike plus any old engine would probably be better than what we get now on both sides. I don't think Mike is some perfect bball catalyst but we've seen what sort of impact he can make.



Yknow take inside drive 04 add some programmers and Mike and you might be surprised haha. All these gms and engines are capable of being more realistic. He left live cuz creative differences or whatever. His 2k money is prol mad more but dude needs to man up and say my way or find someone else. Not like he could not go many other places. He might lose his lavish lifestyle o well. Life of an artist. Be an artist Mike!



Artists are defined by legacy not salary

Salary pays bills. Mike is good at what he does, but he's not irreplaceable. I'm just saying. To this day, I don't know what EA was doing with Live. They made mistakes after mistakes after mistakes, but their biggest problem is largely due to the current game engine. Live tried to change the game engine overnight, while 2K Sports too baby steps.

He is irreplaceable. They can get someone else but it's not him. Just like u can have Roseanne w o Roseanne or two and a half men without Charlie and it'll still work but it's a step down.



What I meant re live was that he went to live and they improved dramatically. Mike can get a job many places. It's not like he's gonna be out on the street if he doesn't go with 2ks "shareholder tactics", the moment he realized it was negatively impacting the gm he should have been like hode up. I helped build this ish, why are we changing?



Just my 2c.
