Yeah, are you blind? There's a crowd section of the insight.. There's also crowd in tons of clips
 
# 62 UnbelievablyRAW @ 09/23/11 04:01 PM
I meant a clip to emphasize the loudness they were talking about (like when Wade dunks). I want a LOUD crowd when stuff heat up at home games. It gets me amped when I play. The old EA Live games had the crowd down well.

Two important components to quality commentary are: 1) Delivery 2) Lines

2ksports offers both.

I honestly don't understand how anyone could give praise to MLBtheShow's commentary. It's simply not good, especially in the "delivery" department. Matt Vasgersian does a commendable job, but the other two simply kills the immersion. It lacks cohesion. It's delivered in a very robotic fashion.

If you want robotic "VIDEO GAME" commentary, MLBtheShow provides it.

If you want immersive "LIVE BROADCAST" commentary, both NBA2k and MLB2k absolutely delivers.

Simply amazing and outstanding. It wasnt an insight I was interested in but reading and hearing the files its got me the most excited!!! Clips sound like they were pulled straight from a real broadcast!

Steve Kerr is terrible, he has no knowledge to the game, makes me wanna puke listening to him.

I remember last season watching the Hawks play, Kerr said the Lakers really miss Josh Powell right now. i was laughing my butt off, Josh Powell was goddamn awful when he was the Lakers, could do absolutely nothing. lol
DID YOU REALLY JUST POST THIS???

I've never wanted to dislike a post more than this one

Even with comp I think they will push no matter what unlike a certain game that will remain nameless...

i have to agree with dukedude24, i think this was a waste of an insight a well in some areas, being that were were suppose to receive a control video trailer but its vanished in thin air 2k rather give us audio than video comparison to see how these thing were implemented... but judging by the faces that we have seen.. i understand why they aren't to fast to show us gameplay (art horrible).. but i rather have the control trailer than to sit and listen to audio any day.. so i feel that its was both informative, but waste at same time IMO...

Best part, aside of more arena and player specifics, is that audio can be patched ! ... hopefully, if we do get a season and if coaches are fired/hired, we can get not only models that ressemblance them but some audio (albeit limited) to go along.

Anyways, improvements seem to have been made in the audio area and that is welcomed.

P.S:
The audio database of names received an improvement too !

Actually the Audio Insight was already scheduled. They didn't give us the Audio "instead" of the Controls Trailer, they just haven't given us the Trailer. It'll get here when it gets here. The game's only 11 days away, soon you won't have to worry about Trailers.

Actually nba 2k's and mlb 2k's commentary destroys the show's in every way possible. It's not even close.

Disagreed, to say the least. Kellog's lines in particular are all (Almost, at least) cringe worthy. (Like, "Stat stuffer SUPREME!", "Your basket is MY basket")

Harlan is alright, as well as Burke, but Kellog is seriously Godawful. His delivery is cheesy, and the lines given to him are terrible too.

Dude, mike doesn't work with the audio, and the commentary in 2k10 smoked live's by a lage margin.

That's Kenny Smith's line from NBA 2k8.

Please just get rid of her...
True, some of her little quips are weird (Like, why am I hearing about Lebron's weight?), but she isn't bad at emoting or anything like that.

Amazing, just amazing. Kinda off topic but I wish madden had the same ambition as 2k does for their games, that's one of the main reasons I wish they'd bring nfl 2k football back. The insights this year were truly stellar. Game comes out in a few weeks so I guess the Association mode insight is gonna be the main treat, can't wait to see that one, because that's the mode I play the most..

Well, it often comes in spurts. Spurtability is what I call it.
