I have never made a game that wasn't explicitly about empowering players to tell their own story.
We've carried that over into the visual development as well. We've designed quite an exotic cast of characters, but the last thing we want is to dictate to the players how their PCs should look. What we want to do is inspire.
From a gameplay standpoint, I've said for years that hero, fiction, and tone have nothing to do with the idea that choices have consequences. And that's really what I'm interested in. I care about you showing how clever and creative you are.
If you hit the table after missing a ball, you get fined. If you swear, you get fined. You can't even tweet what you're thinking without getting fined. Players can't show their personality and therefore fans can't relate to them.
Difference is respected and the environment Eoin Morgan has created is such that we are encouraged to transfer our personalities into our cricket.
I've learned to really appreciate the courtside position and the art of picking up certain subtleties. Player expression you can't see from a camera angle, or the booth.
As a player, you can't express ideas and opinions as easily as when you're doing a ballgame.
Everybody can be who they are within the scheme of the Seahawks and what we want to do.
I'm a Detroit player, they set styles.
Soccer's not a game that you can restrict players, especially creative players and players who have proven themselves at that level.
I like creative players and players who do different things.
A game is a game. I don't think we will change... should have shorter sets. No, do simple things to let people enter through a door that makes them be excited. If you let all the players express themselves, show who they are.
Once you give an NFL player permission to have thoughts, you invite all kinds of mischief.
It was a disaster. I need to play with freedom, and Hodgson didn't let me cross the halfway line.
You see a whole bunch of different looks in the NBA. Guys, like LeBron, have stylists now, and they do their own thing. Then you have Russell Westbrook, whose style is a little different. Every guy is wearing outfits to show their personality.
