alot of people is complaining about no custom soundtrack for ps3. its not 2k fault. while playing a game on ps3 you cant listen to music at the same time because of sony . so take it up with sony and stop blaming 2k

Re: NBA Developer Insights: NBA 2K10 Audio

Custom PA has been done with MLB 09 The Show and PES 2009, the latter had custom soundtracks and allowed you to use mp3 files and assign them to every team as custom chants etc. And correct me if I'm wrong but it was only on the PS3 version too. The game was released in October last year.

There are plenty of other games that have normal custom soundtracks, the wonderful folk at Criterion even patched it into the PS3 version of Burnout Paradise after its initial release.

How is it Sony's fault when it can be done and has been done in the past?

Rant over.

I didn't know that. In that case, it's dissapointing 2K aren't doing it for the PS3 (as far as we know).

Again though, EA didn't do it for FN4...I am guessing there's a reason companies aren't doing it?

ok so what happens if Live does the same thing...having this feature only for 360 and not on the PS3? What then? If you look at the release date for their Demo the PS3 demo doesnt come out till a week later. The combine came out first then PS3 later on....Are you PS3 fans not seeing a trend at all?

I really dont think the blame should be put on EA nor 2K at all....

in that sense the blame is on sony of course, i'm not defending sony at all!and i'm not defending Live neither, i love nba 2k games man.
But for me there're different issues the release date of a demo and a different final version of a game (a simple port from 360 without some features). I don't know why you take it so personal bc i'm only tryin to defend something that i consider legitimate. i understand all american 360 users that think:"****! here is this dude cryin again..." since they have everything that can be asked for, but try just to imagine you are in the other shore, would you just assume it and don't say a word??

Re: NBA Developer Insights: NBA 2K10 Audio

well i have all 3 systems and 360 gets all the playing time...PS3 for me is just collecting dust but im getting Live (yay a loop hole an excuse to get Live ) for the PS3 so i can finally play something (other than Blu-ray movies) on that thing...

Truth is if PS3 did have this feature only i really wouldnt care! Since i dont use my systems to stream music!! im just too lazy to upload music to the 360 and PS3...all im saying is that you gotta see both sides here...EA demo is being released a week later on the PS3 and i wouldnt be surprised at all if 2k's demo did the same!

Its mostly on Sony's side is what im saying and people are just way to quick to jump on 2k...its all probably some technical mumbo jumbo that they couldnt get it to work properly...hell they dont have this feature for the PC and i have a **** ton of music loaded up on the PC....so its all tech issues...

Re: NBA Developer Insights: NBA 2K10 Audio

its clearly 2ks way of getting back at sony for having the better baseball game

Wow - this type of thinking is hilarious and scary at the same time

I haven't read the entire thread, but people complaining should wonder where's the benefit for a multi-platform developer to leave off a feature if they're not getting paid to do so (make it exclusive). It doesn't make sense to purposely anger/disappoint gamers on one system just for the hell of it - "[2K] being mad at Sony for having the better baseball game" notwithstanding

how is sony to blame? You can put custom music on NCAA 10, NHL 10, MLB the Show as well as other games so its not like its a feature that can't be done on the PS3.

Re: NBA Developer Insights: NBA 2K10 Audio

Does any basketball game on the PS3 allow custom soundtracks this year?

Apparently, Fight Night 4 did the same thing - custom on 360, not available on the PS3. Now what?

I think since the PS3 is harder to program for; 2k just couldn't get it in before their deadline for development. As a programmer, even the most simple things to the customer can be a nightmare to develop and implement. Should it be in the game for PS3 users - sure! Am I mad because they don't have it - no. However, it is your money so buy a basketball game on the PS3 that implements custom sound tracks and has the other features you want. That makes sense to me.

Re: NBA Developer Insights: NBA 2K10 Audio

I skipped NBA 2k9 last year. 2K listened to their fans and I will be 100% behind them buying NBA 2k10 this year.

I love 2k as they do listen to what their fans have to say. I am extremely excited that they upgraded and rewrote the commentary and added arena specific sounds and music!

Thank you!

The Show does it.

Re: NBA Developer Insights: NBA 2K10 Audio

yes but The Show was made from Sony...if anything those guys are more knowledgeable when programming for the PS3....im going with Pared with what he said earlier in the thread about this feature being a last minute thing and that they just had problems implementing it on the PS3....*shrug* who knows....
