Every player has played with gay guys.
Coaches who have been players in the league, they get so attuned to playing how they were successful and who their coaches were.
I think a game hits a high point when it provokes reactions the designer doesn't expect.
We set up a situation and let you interact with it and see the consequences of your choice. That's what gaming does.
Players only understand substitutions when they become managers.
About 10 percent of the time, I miss 3 to 5 percent of the game. I look back, and I'm happy that I played. I'm not wistful. You miss big games. I miss the locker room camaraderie. Sometimes I miss the lifestyle.
I've got a PowerPoint deck that I use for internal presentations, and there's a slide on it that asks, 'What percentage of your game is combat versus exploration versus puzzle solving versus platforming,' and I refuse to answer that question.
I've been able to play for some of the best fans in the NFL.
I'm a huge Ron Rivera fan, I played for Ron for three years in Chicago.
I've played a lot of games in my career - against Fulham was my 400th.
In any case, 'Nier: Automata' is not a perfect game. But I am proud of everything in it.
My goal as a puzzle designer is to create a meaningful experience for the player, not just 'I solved it.'
Whenever I write the scenarios for my games, I don't necessarily envision them being liked or being wonderful for everyone.
The best player I ever played with is probably Cesc Fabregas. I only got to play with him for a year before he went back to Barcelona, but I learned so much from him - the way he knew what he was going to do with the ball before he got it and his passing - and he scored goals.
You don't really want to talk about 'Duke' in terms of, how many levels are there, how many guns does it have, how many monsters… It's got everything it needs in terms of that, but it's always been about the experience.
I think 'A' sides are extremely important, as close as you can get to international cricket. You are often playing against internationals from different countries and it definitely bridges the gap between our domestic game and international cricket.
When I was a kid I was the black sheep of the family because all my uncles and cousins were big Inter fans while I've always been Juve. In fact when I'm injured or suspended I'll be in the stands behind the goal when we're playing - in with the fans where I'm happiest.
One of the things we joke about in the FPS development is it's so hard to get the player to actually bother to look at all the cool stuff you've been doing. You spend a lot of time making really cool things, and usually the player isn't looking where you want them to.
I came into the league traded. So I'm not the only person that goes through trade rumors each year.
If you look at a multi-player game, it's the people who are playing the game who are often more valuable than all of the animations and models and game logic that's associated with it.
When I was a player, I was always interested in management.
I think you have to serve a lot of masters when you're doing a video game: you're not just telling a linear story or doing something that's all action.
I've always enjoyed playing in Switzerland. The crowd support is amazing here, and Basel is one of the best indoor tournaments in the world.
We want playing our games to entertain people on many different levels. Deeper down, I want to make a connection with the player, and it's the way, to me, of saying to the person playing the game that they're not alone in the world.
Whenever senior players are missing, its ideal for youngsters to avail of these opportunities.
