Re: The Little Things Thread

This thread should seriously be pages upon pages. There's just so much it's hard to pinpoint all the little details.

They NAILED the early 90s Blazers. It's like re-living my childhood, beautiful.

Playing with the clippers last night and Blake Griffin rolls his ankle on a rebound. The awesome thing was that he proceeded to limp up and down the court until I took him out. Unbelievable!!! I also had a wrist injury to Amare, and at the free throw line he was flexing and moving his injured hand before his free throws.

Re: The Little Things Thread

I think somebody said this already but it's crazy how accurate the on court chatter is. I'm playing the draft combine right now and somebody yelled out "I got Evan" when Evan Turner got the ball or people yelling out that somebody needs to guard John Wall and I've heard other players first and last names being used.

Re: The Little Things Thread

I was just playing against the Heat (who lost Wade and Bosh to injury) And let me tell you, they're not the same team without those two.

LeBron did all he could to keep them in the game, but I ended up winning by a big margin.

Anyway, when the 4th quarter was winding down, the fans starting chanting, "Beat The Heat!" "Beat The Heat" .. I thought it was pretty cool

That every time I come into this forum, I learn something new to tweak my game a little bit.

Re: The Little Things Thread

How do you get the game to do the Jordan Intro again. It did it the first time I started the game, but I don't know how to make it do it again?

Re: The Little Things Thread

Playing a game against the Heat vs Nuggets and in the fourth quarter. Lebron gets an "And 1" against Kenyon Martin. And Kenyon gets really mad. When he first starts complaining you see him throwing his hands up and I thought it was going to end there but he begins to walk toward the ref and Al Harrington begins holding him back while K Mart was running his mouth. It was hilarious and surprising to see.

Re: The Little Things Thread

First off the comentary is the best of any sports game in video game history, and it's not even close. The emotion the announcers show, especially on huge dunks is just crazy, makes the game feel real. I was playing last night and my wife walked by 4 or 5 times before she saw a controller in my hand and realized it wasn't a real game. She couldn't believe it.

Someone metioned this earlier, but Magic's passes (and Bibby's in another game) can be tough to defend, I love it.

Atlanta tried an alley-oop and I deflected the pass, but Josh Smith still went up and hung on the rim with no ball and made the loud clang sound when he let go.

I had a real close game, Bucks at Knicks and at the end the crowd was standing and screaming as I brought the ball up court with Jennings in a tie game. My pulse started to race a bit, I drove the lane, drew 2 defenders and found Maggette in the corner for the go ahead 3 with less than a second left. The crowd shut up and sat down, while the Bucks went ballistic. Just an awesome gaming moment.

Oh yeah, the player of the game highlights are the s@#t! the effects they add to these are beautiful!

I just cringe to think what 2K would have been doing with the NFL license by now, Madden might have been delayed this year just like Elite.

Re: The Little Things Thread

Re: The Little Things Thread

Yeah I don't think I'll ever get tired of the Player of the Game stuff, right now I'm almost just playing the games so that I can get to the end and watch it. It's crazy how much they improved the presentation.

I had a similar esp. it was actually on a dead ball situation in the draft combine. I was guarding the gray team pretty close and they were real close to a 5 sec. violation but all of a sudden I hear, "Monroe! Monroe!" I look around and realize he is the only one i left open and the cpu passes it to him before the violation occurred.

Another cool thing i noticed, when your player or cpu drives to the basket and they think they are fouled, i think its funny that they sometimes check their head for blood.

Yep, I was playing last night, and the Lakers had the ball, and the announcers were just "discussing" some player or another when Kobe broke baseline and rocked home a vicious Slam on me... They both stopped their discussion with "WWWHHOOOAAAA!!!!!" It was awesome!

I agree the announcing is great, but not *quite* the best ever. I'd still give that to "The Show"

Re: The Little Things Thread

Even if you're doing a regular quick game they'll still talk about the stats from other games they played like it was an NBA Today game.
