Only thing missing: Shaq and Kenny racing to the board. #RunThroughTheTape

Kevin Harlan is the best in the business. Love that guy.

I mean at some point audio will end up getting stale, even if they do something like madden and update audio throughout the season, but last year it got to a point where pregame, halftime, and post game became skippable and not even worth listening to. And then for commentary I got so tired of hearing the same lines game after game that I opted to put audio on the "on court" setting (I think that's the name) and just listen to background music with Spotify (a very handy feature on the ps4).

Hopefully this year will be less repetitive. Something that would help is less generic lines. So instead of something like "HE is one of the best players in the league" which can be a line that gets recycled for multiple players I'd like more specific comments like "Paul George has established himself as one of the best players in the league." That alone makes it feel like the commentators are actually calling the game being played and not just using generic lines that can be interchangeable from game to game.

Great trailer! They have definitely taken presentation to the next level.

(edit) It will suck if the post game show issue hasn't been addressed on the PS4.

And I can't wait to play with the Phoenix Knicks.

What's wrong with the halftime show on the PS4?

Awesome trailer, love that they got most of the Turner sports crew. Only if Charles Barkley was with the crew that would be great. Nonetheless 2K knows how to get the fans hyped up.

I meant post game show. No highlights.

So I'm guessing we get the same play by play announcer for every game?

Yeah Harlan will be there every game it looks like and the color commentator will change depending on the arena/region.

You can't hate on this trailer. I'm only disappointed that they didn't show any Clark Kellogg commentary.

The halftime and post-game highlights don't work if you're playing anything longer than 6 minute quarters (I think). I usually play full 48 minute games so this has been a huge aggravation of mine since 2k14.

Last year I didn't mind as much because, honestly, the replays were so poorly done I didn't really care to see them. Way too choppy and the camera would constantly focus on the wrong things. Light years better in 2k15.

Sounds awesome, I can't wait to try the prelude tomorrow and the game next week.

I know this is a hype vid and all the fanboys in here going crazy but this trailer has me concerned. The extra commentary is def a nice touch and the pre/after game shows are great for immersion but those get tired and skipped through after a month or so. I am worried about some gameplay I saw in the trailer. The contact dunk by Butler is an old animation that the user gets sucked into and is completely non-organic. The and 1 layups made in the paint were weak fouls and a couple looked like last year when the game just decided what was happening after a button press. I hated how the game would give you or your opponent so many free points by auto triggering fouls and contact animations. Also the on the Bledsoe drive and dunk, the user sprints straight up the sideline as far as he can go then takes almost a 90 degree turn to get a free dunk. This is an old tactic from past years because it is hard to user control the defender opening up properly and cutting off the lane. So is defense better/different, or more of the same? This year the motto is skills matter and that is what I am craving for. This trailer's gameplay looked like a lot of the same from years past. Great looking animations and moments but animations taking the control from the players and helping dictate circumstances. 2k16 played at the highest level really is not basketball, it is more about how to trigger certain animations and events that will get your players open or force fouls.

Do we have a list yet of what teams get what announcers?

As a FIFA player I watch this video and almost weep. How can this game just be so much better and so much more immersive than FIFA? I cannot believe there are basketball fans who complain about NBA2k.

Grass is always greener.

A lot of the anti 2k guys use The Show and FIFA as the standard 2k needs to get to.

I imagine they have their pros and cons as well.

I see people complaining about recycled line and etc but did y'all not understand dynamic commentary. That basically means they will update the commentary throughout the NBA season so it shouldn't be too repetitive.

Yup, it was perfect in 2K16. No need to change it.

I'm going to say it. This is the best trailer in NBA 2K history.
