Phoenix Wright Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Mike Wang returns to 2k Sports Lead gameplay designer is back after a year working for the competition. EA Sports' media blitz for "NBA Live 10" was led front and center by their acquisition of "NBA 2K8's" lead gameplay designer Mike Wang. But now, one year later, 2K Sports is back to announce Wang's shocking return to the company and to the "NBA 2K" franchise after only releasing one game for the competition. Wang returns to his role as lead gameplay designer of the "NBA 2K" series, and the team is already hard at work on "NBA 2K11." "I don't want to get too much into specifics for '2K11,' but the focus over here has always been to make the best basketball sim," said Wang. "That's something that the guys over at EA, they don't always have that same focus. They want to make a different kind of game this year." "Over at EA, you have so many levels of management, and you have somebody up there looking at unit sales and how 2K is kicking their asses, so now they want to change things in a great way because they can't afford to sell this many units through a three-year plan or a five-year plan. Here, we're always trying to do the same thing, we're always trying to make the best basketball simulation we can. "I think EA is going through an identity crisis with their basketball sim." Yeah, 2k has been in a decline, gameplay wise, ever since he left. Hopefully, things will go back to the pre-2k9 awesomeness. Either way, looks like Live's mini-revival is kinda dead.
