He's good but not that great. All in all, it is good news Wang is part of the 2k team now. I guess he can officially be called a man W***E.

I'm not saying they're in trouble because Wang is gone. I'm saying that because sales were terrible this year, and the guy who is known as being the biggest sim developer completely disagrees with how Live is being produced. That doesn't exactly spell success.

I am truly upset at this news. I couldn't stomach another NBA2K and Live FINALLY came out decently enough to grab my money ONLY this year. I truly hope the Wang influence is enough to carry Live 11 through but based on what MW has said about the direction of Live 11, I have serious enough reason to doubt that EA is doing the right thing with Live 11.

Only a matter of time now before the Live series goes the way of MVP Baseball and NCAA Basketball.

It's surprising and a bit dissapointing from the point of view of some of us who thought LIVE was going okay...

But ultimately it's made next seasons choice of game a hell of a lot easier. I'll be buying 2K11 only.

well like mike said he is an on the court guy hopefully it shows next season and we get spot on control

If he can implement LIVE's control + play sets and play calling...it's game over anyway. There'd be no point buying anything other than 2K11.

Long term it seems there won't be any competition...hopefully the 2K guys are driven enough to put out a good game every season even though there's no competition.
