*NBA 2K (net/rim) sounds...

[Tommyklaid]

I already have this game pre-ordered, so it's a Day-1 purchase for me...hands-down.

My only gripe after watching/listening to all of the gameplay vids is the SOUND interaction between the ball, rim, & net.

It seems every time there is a made-basket, there is a swooooosh as if the ball was launched from 3-pt range and hit nothing but net. Also, when the ball hits the rim, it seems to sound like a rock hitting an oil-barrell of some sorts...it's just off.

They have definitely improved on the crowd sounds & player/court sounds, but they REALLY have not perfected the ball-to-rim-to-net sounds that you hear when you are watching a live NBA broadcast on television OR in-person...

A small gripe from myself for what deems to be another AWESOME installment for 2K, but I am in hopes a DEV sees this and does a little HD-sound work for next years installment...hoping I'm not the only one who loves the authenticity to be as close to RL as possible.

Personally I think the dunk sounds are also iffy......

You don't like the Street Fighter broken glass sound effect ?

I once heard the brilliant description of "garbage disposal"...... thought that was genius.... haha.

For the record, I LOVE the game.... but these small details would be great also....

On the topic of dunks, sometimes I also feel the backboard shakes violently on some of them..... if I am not mistaken, that would only happen if players like Shaq pull the ring down with force..... not if Derrick Rose is touch dunking.....

But these things won't prevent a purchase on my end haha....

Anyone remember the sound effect from a missed shot on Double Dribble?

They've been pretty much the same for 15 years

Thought I was the only one annoyed by this. Definitely needs work for next year.

Very annoying.

Its most noticeable in the Knicks gameplay that was shown

Yeah you get to hear the rim sound a lot when the Knicks are playing because they brick a lot of shots. When you play the Spurs it's the swish sound that gets annoying.

Re: *NBA 2K (net/rim) sounds...

this has always been a pet peeve of mine in 2k. Same goes for when a player jumps and you can hear them land.

Re: *NBA 2K (net/rim) sounds...

I agree that the ball/rim interaction sounds a little off. My initial impression is when the ball hits the rim it sounds too "clangy" rather than a "muffled thud". This happens a lot during games so I hope that it could be looked at.

Real **** right here. On court sounds need an overhaul.

Re: *NBA 2K (net/rim) sounds...

It also depends on which broadcast it is and how they mic their rim... Brick shots that hit the rim hard pretty much do sound like the sound ppl complain about, if you turn it up really loud.

IIRC they actually did record all their rim and net sounds in an arena, so maybe the volume levels are just too high or compressed

Re: *NBA 2K (net/rim) sounds...

This is another one of those things where I wish I knew how these sound effects were being created, just because they so often tend to miss the mark. Must they be created organically from scratch in a sound booth using stalks of celery? Or are they capturing in a gymnasium, but on non-NBA hoops, courts and arenas? I always thought maybe they were basing some of their sounds off of non-standard NBA stanchions where the rims may be a little looser or something of that nature.

Then again, maybe it's a matter of tedium. When implementing new sounds they'd have to go through and apply the correct sound to each single shot, angle and approach, right? As in, swish sound for clean three pointer, subtle rim rub to net for those that graze, almost silent for light finishes inside, dull rim effect for back iron miss, etc.

Either way, it seems something could be done, no? At least for dunks?
