"As most of you are aware, we are currently holding our NBA LIVE Community Event in NYC for the 2007 NBA Draft. With me is Andrew Begley from NBA LIVE Series Center who was kind enough to give all of us an update on what’s going on. Q: How long did it take for you to fly in?
A: About 18 hours total from Sydney Australia to NY, NY. Q: What have you done so far in the week?
A: First night, met up with all the community guys, really good group. Had dinner at Rub’s BBQ and caught a quick glimpse of Gilbert Arenas as well as Kevin Durant which was pretty cool. Second day was all about the game which was great because with the 5 of us, we could get some real in-depth time with the game and the producers. Q: So you got to speak with producers?
A: That’s right. It was quite an awesome experience to see the game before it is released and the opportunity to provide feedback, which is great. Q: Did you really feel like your feedback meant anything to them?
A: ABSOLUTELY! Just to see the way Brent Nielsen was taking notes really demonstrated that EA is really taking the initiative with these community days, and that they really care about our feedback. Q: So you saw the game?
A: Yes. Q: First impressions?
A: My first impressions came at Rub’s, as I was walking in the door, I saw a Lakers game on the screen and for a moment, I thought it was a replay of a real game! As I got closer, I realized it was NBA LIVE 08, but was still very impressed by what I saw. I was impressed with it more when I got my hands on the game! Q: Are you just saying that because you’re a known PC guy?
A: Well, I probably am a bit more impressed by next gen after playing current gen for so long, but I truly think it is impressive."
