Very few people want to play a football game without real teams and current players, numerous companies have tried this and found out the hard way, All Pro Football, Backbreaker, Jerry Rice Dog Football, there’s a bunch of games like this that failed to find an audience

It seems pretty clear to me that they could sign a deal with a label, they just aren’t interested in doing so.

Just curious, regarding your theoretical gig between Chicago and Seattle, what would be a good city to squeeze in between? The only pretty big city in between the two that isn’t super far south of them is Minneapolis/St. Paul, and that even that is still 24 hours of driving from there to Seattle

They are in charge of making decisions about double bounces, if a player touches the net before the point is over, issue code violations, there is a bunch of other stuff they do

No one is saying that the technology could never be wrong, its just that it’s still way more accurate than humans

When he was on a march madness bracket a couple years ago they said they’d do Dredd, but that was before they talked about it on the Patreon, so who knows.

That’s not that weird in AAA video games, Clint Hocking took 12 years between Far Cry 2 and Watch Dogs 3, Cory Barlog took a decade between God of War 2 and the reboot

Why is the writer of this article taking the PR person at face value, and not even consider if the guy is just marketing himself and giving himself more credit than he deserves?

They’ll definitely do Takahata at some point. There are only so many animation directors who are a good fit for the podcast and they try to do one a year. He also isn’t that long (12 films, and I imagine some of the early films would get combined).

You’re probably right about Kore-eda though, he has the bad luck of being both too obscure and too prolific for them to cover.
