It wasn't 2 weeks ago they were being hammered for not releasing info.

It's really unbelievable.
Pretty much. I just spent a hour listening to the sounds of NBA 2K16, watching YouTube videos, and comparing it to the trailer. I could hear the difference in the sounds.

For the record, I have DJ/Composer type hearing, so I can hear the subtle sounds and changes.

2K Sports never made that claim...that was your fault for making that assumption.

And you judge the entire sound design of the game off of a 2 minute trailer?

Dude #1
aw bro, that new Star Wars movie is trash. Disney messed it up and didn't do Star Wars it's justice

Dude #2
oh yea? It came out last week didn't it. Who did you go see it with?

Dude #1
Go with? Nah man, I watched 15 seconds of the trailer.

That's not very fair...

1. They're only human.
2. They probably don't see their family or friends much at all during their work cycles.
3. Depression is common among game developers on these annual schedules.
4. They dedicate their lives to making an awesome game. You have no doubt gotten a lot of the joy out of the game; more than your money's worth. Yes it's going to have its flaws, but for the most part it's ****ing awesome.
5. Money or not, people wouldn't bother working on a game if there wasn't a sense of achievement involved when the game you've made makes people happy. How would you feel if a project you've put your heart and soul into for several months was met with constant negativity from consumers? (even though that the reality is that the game is actually awesome overall, despite its flaws)

Some people really take 2k for granted. We should be grateful that the best sports sim in the world happens to be a basketball game. That's lucky, I ****ing love basketball!

Like I said earlier, we won't know how much has improved until we get the game in our hands.

The trailer didn't really show us anything new since the 2 main issues we have can't tell us anything in 2 min trailer.
 
# 309 extremeskins04 @ 09/06/16 10:48 PM
KGDunks you're making assumptions when you haven't even played the game yet.

As harsh as it can be, c̶r̶i̶t̶i̶c̶i̶s̶m̶ Bashing has to be there. It's been proven time and time again with 2K that they don't really change things until people make noise about it.
Fixed that for you.

Like I said 2K has a habit of being misleading with this sort of thing.
Misleading about what? The trailer even showed the different court chants and other sounds.

Like I don't know what you think they're being misleading about. The problem is you're setting YOUR OWN expectations extremely high where it's a lose-lose for 2k right before the game even ships.

And that's...kinda ridiculous.

I really hope you don't have a pre-order then. Because you're not going to get "proven wrong" until the game releases.

Does it? There's a big difference between criticism and suggestion for improvement. One of them leads to downward spirals and the other one leads to upward spirals.

Do you think people really listen to criticism? Criticism makes people defensive. Nobody is going to listen to someone who is solely putting negativity on them. That's how you make 2k put up walls. If you want to influence someone to improve something, you have to facilitate a friendly connection and show them what to improve and why.
Social skills 101

The fact that they weren't in the trailer while old audio sounds that have been improved were, makes me very sceptical.
Then we would be sitting through an hour long trailer with all court sounds lol.

I understand you, but they are telling you that they are striving for authenticity when it comes to the sounds. We will all be able to find out once the game drops how accurate this statement is. I'm sure we are getting a blog/insert into the presentation blog about this also.

It was a f*cking two minute TRAILER with some selected arenas to highlight/introduce new changes to the audio. It was NOT a developer's video blog.

Since the argument is literally based on nothing, lets just get back to discussing the trailer man....enough of these threads have been hijacked....
