Official "Bring Back Halftime Show" Thread

[Junior Moe]

I would like to see the halftime show return. But only if they add more to it. Like giving us musings from "around the league"; like the rumor mill ( include the reasons and potential destinations. This info is already generated in the rumor mill tab) , coach hot seats, disgruntled players, front office ultimatums, award front runners; how the fictional draft prospects are performing, etc. Otherwise I would rather not have anything because I buttoned through it too because there was nothing pertinent there for me. I'm already in-tuned to the game I'm playing. Why would I want to watch it a 2nd time; especially if I'm already playing 12 min quarters?

Eh, this is kind of an annoyance, but in the grand scheme of things, not a big deal. There are bigger problems to worry about.

Very disappointed. I don't get their thinking. We been begging for year's for them to improve the presentation to get it as close to their NFL2K5 presentation. Oh well, let see what they will add or take-away! next year. SMH

Shame on you 2K you should be ashamed of yourselves!!!

I hope the pennies you pinched on this decision is worth backlash
of upsetting so many loyal fans who've been with you since day 1.

Considering 2K14 on the new consoles was basically a year long demo
with horrific servers and 2K12 was the worst game in the games history
you guys better bring your "A" game for 2K15.

Laziness and bad decision making is why MLB 2K, NHL 2K and
the great tennis game are now extinct.

I've been ride and die with you guys since NBA and NFL 2K on Dreamcast
since 1999 and I'm gonna be brutally honest with you guys and that is you need to pick it up.

Honestly that'd be better reserved for a weekly recap show, though your point is still very valid. Just having a studio show that shows highlights, does a bit of a analysis of the plays, and shows updates from a few other games in progress or that have been completed would be revolutionary for sports games.

I made an account just to say I am disappointed...Being able to see some of the highlight plays that I made on the hardest difficulty with 12 minutes quarters was awesome. The graphics and the animations made the halftime replays beautiful to look at...I am going to miss looking at them from time to time.


Also removing something ''new'' to add something ''old''? I agreed to that excuse when we used to play our games on DVD's but we got blu-rays now...Not a valid excuse at this point.

And people jump on the slightest comments these guys make. LD doesn't make those decisions, so to take his justification statement as the sole reason for removal is unwise.

There are many theories as to why. Enough carry enough validity, that at the end of the day, it just may be a good move in the long run. As I said in the previous thread, if this means we get NFL 2K5's halftime eventually, then good riddance to the halftime show as it was, for now.
