Re: *New Broadcast team? (2K15)
Even though I am a sim gamer, I honestly prefer having Kerr remain in the booth rather than losing him and going to the stale 2 man booth with Kellogg just for realism sake. Assuming those were the only two options considering the timing.Comment

I'm sure it won't be as unrealistic when you're playing MyLEAGUE or MyGM and Kerr gets fired from the Warriors. Then it's like normal again.Comment

They should consider just hiring voice actors to fill the roles. I know people want real announcers, but in the case of Clark Kellogg and to a lesser extent Harlan that decision isn't always the best. Just look at how fantastic the NFL2K guys were and they were nobodys. Didn't even use their real names.
If they're going to get anyone to come in and do a voice it should be Chris Webber. He's an extremely talented studio guy. Great voice, great cadence, insight, analysis. Probably doesn't have the best acting chops, but if he were made to feel natural I think he'd do really well... they probably can't afford him though.
And the NFL guys weren't all nobodies. "Bob Steel" was Bob Fitzgerald, the Warriors announcer for the last 15 some years. And lots of Warriors fans HATE Fitz. He's pretty cornball and a pretty big homer.
I would love the game to be announced by Fitz and Barnett though. Barnett is a national treasure-- impartial, extremely knowledgable-- though he's a bit "old fashioned" for the younger segment of 2K's demographic. And he's obsessed with shoes not having enough rubber nowadays.
Absolutely agreed on Webber.Last edited by Sundown; 09-29-2014, 07:25 PM.Comment

Big screw up 2k if Kerr is still announcing. No wonder why it's a week until release and we've yet to hear anything about presentation. Not looking good on that end.Comment

Re: * Broadcast team? (2K15)
The idea of just getting voice actors to fill the role suits me just fine. Since they're VAs they don't have a super complex schedule to work around unless they hire Troy Baker and Nolan North or something. And even then, they go where they money is. And they can spend a lot more time recording situational appropriate dialogue that doesn't tie in with any specific team. Or be like FIFA and record multipe ways to say player names so when a player dunks they can shout OH, GRIFFIN! or something like that.
But eh. Since they've used real announcers, it wouldn't fit if they just switched to something else.
The fiends would only complain.Comment

I can 100% confirm kerr is pulling double duty i started a quick match against GSW before i left for work and kerr went on a rant on how good curry is, but on a more positive note you guys are gonna love the way curry plays it looked like i was watching him on TV very nice. the way he dribbles and moves around was amazing he even pulled a 3 on the break i sagged off just to see if he would let it fly and he didComment

Next year need to have complete TNT or NBA TV Presentation
with real TNT or NBA TV announcers.
Would love to see the option of picking between alternate
announce crews like how in 2K14 you can pick from the regular
announce crew and the Spanish announce crew.Comment

Re: * Broadcast team? (2K15)
Do you mean commentary specifically? because we've gotten videos on intros as well as Ernie and Shaqs involvement...We've seen what the menus are going to look like both in screenshots and in even more detail in the live stream...they are looking clean...really like what 2k has done on the presentation side.
as far as Kerr, it's one of those things I won't care about for more than a second once I get the game, so it's all good...he'll likely be out next year. Wouldn't be surprised if they still have a ton of unused dialogue from him.Comment
