He hasn't and won't the only reason he was in 2k11 or 12 was because Jay Z called him personally and convinced him to do it.

Oh well, I personally don't rate him as a commentator etc. anyway. Doesn't bother me.


But back on topic, are you bothered, not bothered, neutral about the score bug looking the same in the screen shot?

I hope they hide something, e.g. TNT presentation.
But tbh, I think the presentation might be exactly the same from NBA 2K15.

Scoreboard might indeed be a placeholder but no biggie if its the same imo.. I doubt we see any TNT branding tho most likely far too costly

I could see this being the case....... if they have ANY reason to do it, maybe the ESPN gig across the way are as good a reason as any? Competitive spirit..... but that could be me grasping haha.

The scorebug pretty much is a near copy of TNT's so it makes sense why they'd keep it. It's also pretty clean and works pretty well with other wipes and overlays. I like updated bugs too, but the one they have now is near perfection.

What I will say, is that it may be time to throw in a second graphics package to change it up a bit. They don't even need official licenses, just have two different "channel" packages. The national one would be the current "2ksports" which would be used for "big" games and the second could be a network that has regions tied to the divisions, for example: VCSports Pacific/Southwest/Southeast/Central/Northwest/Atlantic.
Another option would be to just have to different "national" broadcasts to replicate ESPN and TNT.

This sounds great. I think it would be nice to see the national games have a unique feel to them.
