Improving Audio and Atmosphere

[Sports fanantic]

I always wanted 2K to be able to make realistic Arena crowd sound different from each other. You can't tell me that the Bucks or Bobcats arena is just as loud as the Warriors or Bulls Arena.

Or if someone on the Sixers turns the ball over a couple times in a row and we boo them louder than we do the whole team at the end after a loss lol

While watching some videos of 2K15, I felt it was worthwhile to re-iterate that sometimes dunks don't make much noise, whether from the Press Cam or with a mic on the rim. It's quite possible to dunk while hitting the rim, but not breaking it away and most certainly not inducing a kicked garbage can response. It makes little sense in 2K15 to hear certain sounds on certain dunks - they don't match.

Example of "silent" dunks. They happen all the time:



I'll have to look a little closer, but either the 2K sound byte for a "rim breaking away" dunk is used for all dunks, or maybe the rim automatically breaks away on every slam (I feel like I've seen moments in 2K where the rim shouldn't breakaway but does anyway).

Maybe in many cases it'd help if 2K at least lowered the volume of dunks. A lot of them make some noise, but it typically does not come across as abrasively as it does in 2K.

The sound mix in this game is so, so, so, so bad.

Too much low end, PA/crowd/announcers all blend in, just bad stuff.

i know this is OT but its kinda funny that according to a large number of people here, essentially none of those shots from the last video in the first post should have went in.

Ha, also just noticed that video was titled, "Best Game Winners of NBA History." Crazy how Michael Jordan's game 1 winner in '97 is the only notable game winner to occur before the year 2004.

oh yeah i mean, i actually remember that d rose game, not off the top of my head but seeing the replay i remember it. but i dont think regular season wins against Milwaukee in like 2010-11 should really be up there on the best game winners of all time list lol. but hey he had to steal lots of other guys youtube clips and fill up 7 minutes =P

Sound problems on 2K go all the way back to the original on Dreamcast.

Audio drops. Random static. Repeated commentary and off crowd reactions.

Never perfected it
