It is a different look for the Waiver Wire this week as Chase Becotte is joined by three NBA Live developers. The three Live developers, Mike Wang, Ryan Santos and Sean O'Brien, talk with Chase about NBA Live 2009 and what went right and wrong with the title. In addition, the developers talk a bit about NBA Live 10 and what fans can expect from that far-off title -- in a roundabout way of course this far from release.Here's how to get the show:

Tonight we bring you a very special edition -- at least in the host's mind -- of the Waiver Wire Podcast with Chris Sanner filling Chase Becotte's shoes to interview 3 on 3 NHL Arcade Producer Matt Mahar. We would like to thank Alan Quinto of EA Sports for helping get this interview and we would also like to thank Matt Mahar for taking the time to answer our questions!The show runs right at 10 minutes so if you want the latest skinny on the game, be sure to give this show a listen!
Important edit: On the show I stated the game was set to release on February 15. It is actually set to release on February 4 for the 360 and the 5th for the PS3.

Yeah so we're late again, but you should be used to that by now. Anyway this week, our usual host TJ is out (and apparently will be for the foreseeable future) but we're still attempting this whole talking thing with Matt Gagnon (mattyg), Matt Blumenthal (TheLetterZ), and Chase Becotte (Slizeezyc). This week we talk about a post-Ben Brinkman MLB 2K franchise, as well as touching upon Madden once again as some more updates have been released for that game. From there we try to figure out why EA is so obsessed with Metacritic scores and also ask ourselves if we fear the "casual" gamer. Snowboarding fans can also rejoice since we talk a bit about Shaun White Snowboarding, and gauge the hype when it comes to FaceBreaker. We end the show on a tangent-extravaganza that is beyond explanation. Listen in for allllllll this and more. Oh and since TJ is out right now the iTunes feed isn't being updated until we get someone else to do it, our bad.Listen to the show: Waiver Wire (6/1)
Links for things we talked about on the show:
- Ben Brinkman leaves 2K Sports
- Updated Madden thoughts
- Freestyle/All-Play discussion
- Why Metacritic, why?
- Shaun White Snowboarding revealed at UbiDays

This mildly delayed edition of the Waiver Wire features Chase Becotte (Slizeezyc), Matt Gagnon (mattyg), and Dave Branda (BlyGilmore) discussing all things sports gaming related. T.J. is currently being shunned so he takes the week off, and Matt "Cue Cards" Blumenthal no-shows, so the leftovers are left to discuss such games as Madden 09, NCAA 09, Skate, Fight Night Round 4, UEFA Euro 08, Tiger Woods, and Top Spin 3. They also talk about some various news bits such as the revived EA/TT talks, Peter Moore saying something he probably should not have, and the Tony Hawk series taking a year off.
