We are attempting to incorporate more "live" types of elements into the new products. Stuff where you can play instant matchups with other players who are also online or get into a game going on in the next hour, etc. A lot of that sort of stuff has been very exciting for me to work on, because it adds a whole other layer of interaction onto the games that GLB is currently lacking with the entire game being pretty much "sit and wait."

I have to say modern browsers that support HTML5 (pretty much all of them now) really are making game development much cooler than it was 5 years ago.

So like a pick up game with your player?

Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

Can't wait till bort does commentary for all the games, that'll really make everything come a"live"

do these live elements include GLB? (guess it'd have to be GLB 2.0)

Could you do that with a solo player on quick hit?

You won't get to hear him. DD will talk over him the whole damn time just like he did on the radio show.

No, teams. Same difference basically.

Would be sorta neat for a pick up game with a bunch of players from all around though. Maybe not for GLB since that would be a lot of guys. But for like a basketball game or something.

Unless this new game is a solo sport.

Yeah. Or imagine something like if it were in GLB, something along the lines of where you could play a quick scrimmage against another team owner with live play calling, watching the game run live. Stuff like that.

Of course, we are also including the "sit and wait" type elements as the more casual "core" of the games, but the ability to have more interaction if you've got more time to spend I think is really neat.

oh i see. I thought maybe it was more like a cool thing for an agent with players where they could get their player in a pick up game with other guys. That is neat too though.

damn tennis

live play calling would be awesome

Nah, we'll be using the computer voice from Joe Montana Sports Talk Football '93 for the Genesis. That was super advanced.
