Topic: NBA Jam Interview with Rob Hilson

[Penguin_Of_Thyme]

We talk with the art director about about online play, motion controls, and  remaking a classic.
 
The original NBA Jam was an arcade phenomenon that is fondly remembered to this day. EA Sports is now attempting to recreate the   magic of  the classic franchise. During E3, we had to chance to speak with Rob Hilson,  the art director of the upcoming basketball title that is exclusive to Wii.

Is this where all our (the forums) questions were sent?
Because we submitted Q's for NBA Jam what seemed like months ago at this point.

Yeah, sorry for that; it got delayed.

[BeautifulShy]

Ha they kinda went around my question about Rookie and All-Star teams.

On the flipside we get to know James Worthy is in.

[BlackNMild2k1]

LOL, did you see the guy in the background using the hockey stick peripheral?

It would look so much better with a black Wiichuck+ in it.

[BeautifulShy]

Yeah I did notice it.
No comment.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Who was doing the interviewing and was that a MotoDroid in hand?
(I wanna guess that was Megabyte... it looked like an Aaron)

[MegaByte]

Yes.  It was sort of spur of the moment, so I loaded up the questions right off of the forums.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Can I guess your height too?

.....5'7"
165lbs

am I close?

[MegaByte]

Not at all in either case.

[BlackNMild2k1]

hehehe, just taking a wild guess based on the video. I figured I was shooting low in both categories.

I just wish you had asked him directly whether or not Obama was in the game, purely for the facial reaction since we already know what his canned response was.

[MegaByte]

Low and high.

[BlackNMild2k1]

low on height and high on weight right

5'10 155lbs?
