NBA Developer Insights: NBA 2K10 Audio

[jmood88]

Re: The new developer insight is up

Sounds impressive overall.

Can someone clarify though. Are all these updates about things going on around the league from your franchise or from the NBA. I really hope it's from the franchise because I don't want to hear about the NBA during those games. I have TV and the net to check that info out and would much prefer hearing about what is happening in my franchise/season.

They use your association stats in the association commentary.

Re: The new developer insight is up

in regards to the custom music being only on the XBOX 360

come to think THIS ISNT NEW. console differential has always been around. ps2 vs xbox.

xbox you can save your music, ps2 cant.
ps2 you can open the console and put in a cd while you playing, xbox cant


in nfl 2k5 maybe im wrong but when i had it on the ps2 there was only snapshots shown during halftime and i had a ps2 memory card but then when i played it on the regular xbox there was full video replays.

so one console having something over the other really isnt that big a deal

To be fair though the reason it wasn't on ps2 was because most ps2 owners didn't have the hard drive.

Damn, and I thought TNT drove me crazy with the number of times they played "Amazing", I might just have to mute that track altogether on here lol.

Re: The new developer insight is up

Thanks Jmood, game sounds like the audio is going to be overhauled and much improved. Can't wait to hear it!

Haha i know right? Seems like AMAZING is the anthem for the NBA.

To the rest: will custom sound really affect the game that bad? I swear people just love to whine all the time. If 360 didn't have it, would it be SUCH A BIG ISSUE? I know it sucks, I have both systems, but all this crying about the custom sound is a little too much now. Let's play some DC and be happy with what all we've gotten that's amazing this year.

JUST MY TWO CENTS.

Re: The new developer insight is up

Again, serious disadvantage for PS3 owners...

If we are once getting getting LOW RES TEXTURES compared to the XBOX 360, then I don't freaking know anymore...

Re: The new developer insight is up

I always play with my own music playing in the background. I may have to check out the new audio this year.

Cool features.

Re: The new developer insight is up

This is not a huge or even big disadvantage for the PS3, its just bad on 2K's end. They should know stuff like this makes certain people may not want to by there game on the PS3. Now what if Live10 does have custom soundtracks feature?? That may sway a some buyers to get NBA Live10 instead of NBA2K10 for example. The PS3 is more than capable of this feature, 2K just dropped the ball on this. Fanboys can say silly things saying this is Sony's fault, but its not, its up to the devs to utilize they systems features. If this was available for the PS3 and not the 360, this still wouldn't be fair. This has been a trend with some sports games for the past couple of years where they wouldn't add or put something on the PS3, other developers or games don't have this problem. I won't be running out to by a 360 just because of this one thing that 2K added, its nice and I would like to have it on my PS3 NBA2K10, but Im more excited about all of the other features in the game. Anyway it looks like 2K10 is going to be great, we need some gameplay vids ASAP.

Re: The new developer insight is up

i might be reaching here but does anyone know if it's possible for it to be patched in later?cuz i'm a ps3 owner.. while it's not a game killing feature it would be nice to have my own tracks...only because the songs will get repetitive

Re: The new developer insight is up

During breaks in the action, Kevin and Clark will go Around the League and provide scoring updates from the NBA


FINALLY! Scores from around the league while playing your game. This is setting up to be the NFL2K5 of basketball, keeping my fingers crossed.

Would be nice if they could incorporate video highlights with scoring updates..

Yes video highlights from around the league is what I've been waiting to see in a basketball game for years. The only game that did this was NBA Live 95 or NBA showdown, can't remember which one, it was basic but nice. NFL2K5 was great with this, its time for the devs to put this in NBA2K10.

Re: The new developer insight is up

This is awesome to me personally... I'm going to prob go all out and chop up parts of songs for just about everything they allow custom music for (I have an MP3 collection of old playoff/Finals music, NBA/ESPN stuff etc on CD's) like I did with NFL2K5... and I'm wondering what the official reason is to not include this feature on PS3. I trust that there must be some legit reason around it, because guys, of course they knew it wouldn't be popular to leave out of the PS3 version. I'm interested to know the factual reason why, from 2K.
