Perhaps.....

The way Ernie explains it, it sounds like they might be having something similar to Inside the NBA. Maybe it will be something very similar and they just didn't get the license to call it Inside the NBA? That would be fine with me. I also hope they brought in a new guy or two for in-game commentary.

This is the first step of a true half time show, with a real announcer motion captured for 2K sports title in a long long time. 10 years since 2K5 football. So we have to take some steps to get there but this is a stepup.

To me Inside the NBA without Chuck's ramblings and then proceeding to go off script, and ripping teams, players, coaches and fans just isn't Inside the NBA. It actually might have to be forced to get them motion captured and voiced to how it happens on the show. Now it would be hilarious if 2K can capture that but I am still happy if we get highlights from our games and other games say in MyLeague.

How upset would you guys be if we learn that they will only be featured in mycareer adding to the storyline of that mode rather then it being added to every mode to increase the overall presentation of the game with a new pre and post game show or a new halftime show.

No need for what ifs. That's not the case

I'm wondering if they'll be a part of a halftime, pre/post shows. Could be anything really.

Whatever it is, I'm happy for it. Huge fan of Ernie. Any addition of him into a video game is superb.

All I ask for Presentation is for Clark Kellogg to be gone. I've honestly only ever heard him commentate on NCAA games. IMO, he's not a very good real-life commentator and an even worse video game commentator. Kerr is obviously gone so I'm wondering what other duos they could possibly have, if Ernie and Shaq are (possibly) only doing pregame, halftime, and postgame?

To keep it simple...

It's a good start.

Was quite funny seeing everyone jump to conclusions in the previous thread. When did you see 2K make big strides in their game since they have no competition?

Well at least we get a decent pc version which I'm thankful for (although should be the ****ing norm).

Are we still getting news about this feature today?

Re: NBA 2K15 Will Have Ernie Johnson and Shaq, Not Inside the NBA

And just like that.....DEFLATION!! Lol, seriously, it sucks but I still have hopes for a decent pre/post game presentation, along with Halftime. I still don't know why the NBA brand never caught up to what they did with NFL 2K5, and it's not about having licenses. Hell, they could even bring back the imaginary guys they used to have like Peter O'Keefe or whatever his name was, use all 2K logos and wipes in a imaginary studio and it would still be great. I just hope they utilize Shaq & Ernie in some sort of capacity close to that...

Everyone would stop watching the halftime show after your first few times, no matter how "good" it was.. keeping in mind the limitations of video games.. can't expect them to put a lot of time into that.. people just want to play. You want them to spend a million dollars-plus or something on that?

Also NFL 2K5 presentation wasn't good, the highlights were the same few pre-set things no matter what game it was supposedly talking about. I'd rather have nothing than that. There was almost no script for Berman.. etc etc. Rose colored glasses.

Sorry Leftos but you can't have me believe that 2K is under constant pressure to upgrade the game because they have such crazy competition.
NBA Live is pretty much dead as of now, so even though 2K is pretty good, it has been pretty stagnant imo just like Fifa has been for a couple of years now.
Removing, adding features, non working online, same complaints every year and so on.

A TNT deal for the presentation would have been a lot of work yes and quite the change imo. Maybe the stuff you guys put with Earnie and Shaq is substential and I'll be proven wrong come release but I always try not to get my hopes up. Works better than way (ex : was surprised PC version is finally up to snuff this year )

EDIT : also when I mean change, I'm not just talking about presentation but see Lakers24 thread http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ersion-me.html for what 2K needs, and that's a lot of work I know.

Good Stuff.

I like Ernie & Shaq.

It would be even BETTER with Kenny & Chuck also... but for now its a good start.

On a Sidenote:

Umm... .So who is the new sideline commentator, btw?

Is Doris Burke still there?

If so, will she wear a different outfit every game, during the post-game interview? (Or at least every other game?)

Or will we see her wearing the same olive pantsuit game after game, for multiple seasons. lol.

How much VC will it cost to unlock a 'wardrobe upgrade' for Doris? lol.

With all the gear they have available in this game, (from shoes, to t-shirts, suits, hockey jerseys, v-neck sweaters, timbos, or whatever.... Not sure why SHE has to wear the exact same thing all the time. Even my agent in MyPlayer mode changes his attire at times. Sheesh.)

Just saying. lol.
