Chuck needs to stop being a puss and join in next year. Just turrible..

Loved the lighting, Anthony Davis going to work, it all looks so beautiful!

That's great, I'm actually intrigued now by the idea he's doing in game commentary as well. He looks really good and anything better than that boring Kerr and Kellogg.

This is an insane addition... i always felt in 2k15 Shaq was a lil too goofy next to Ernie's 'straight man'. But Kenny is integral to the chemistry on Inside the Nba and should really bring it together in 2k16.

Woooooo boy! 2K going ALL OUT this year.

Loved Kenny when he was in the game before, glad he's back!

Wow, this game looks so awesome. Wish FIFA or NHL would have the same kind of presentation and depth for the GM-Modes. 2k makes them looking stupid.

15 more days til this beast drops. Man.....!! I can not believe what they have done for us fans this year.

Long weekend here in Oz on the weekend it drops too.....3 days of nerd beard and poor hygiene/social life......

Really like the halftime part where you can see the arena behind the panel. I guess we always knew more was going to be built off of last years one and more of a halftime show etc. was almost inevitable...... but it's still so nice when you actually finally see it come to fruition....

mycareer is fine as it is seeing you're playing just one player

overall though this just means I'll be playing mygm more then mycareer, now I just gotta decide if I'll fantasy draft or use the normal roster

I fail to see your point. Why does controlling 5 or controlling 1 make a difference to having half time shows?

And I'll be playing both. Like I do every year.

just an expectation I have seeing we didn't have shaq and ernie in mycareer last year, hoping it will appear in both of course, just not that sure is all

Overjoyed at this news! I just need to play this game now. It really seems like 2K have made the complete sports game and that's before we even have the MyCareer info. Looking forward to the rest of the presentation info. I wonder who's replacing Kerr - is it going to be Smith?

... For those wanting for MyCareer, does it really make sense for consistency's sake to be looking at the halftime show when you're role playing as one of the players? I'd be fine with them bringing back the coaches' locker room pep talks if they weren't so boring and repetitive, and were more useful.

It makes as much sense as it does if you control a superstar(eg roleplay as) you know nothing about other than what you watch on t.v. or read about in Sports Illustrated.

This is a video basketball game and not a life-simulator. Part of basketball's immersion for us fans is the pomp and presentation of pre-game, half-time and post-game shows. If it is something expected in MyLeague or Quick-Game, presentation-wise, it should be expected in MyCareer.

Most everyone enjoyed the half-time shows of past years, so there is no reason it and the others would not be enjoyed now.

Re: Kenny Smith is joining Ernie and Shaq during Pre-Game, Half-Time, & Post-Game Sho

I knew that last years implementation of Shaq and Ernie would probably lead to this. It only made the most sense. I'm am surprised though that Kenny is now apart of the action, but then again I'm not because when Shaq and EJ were advertising 2k15 on opening night last year you could see it coming (btw 2k needs to step their cash game up for Chuck fareel)

I can't believe i am really reading this.

Everyone realizes it was Kenny before it was Clark right? It used to be Kevin and Kenny doing the game calls.
