Thats cause msg on the low knows they still aint gonna do it correct 2k really has been half assing this game since 2k13 every year they remove and bring back like why just keep the damn thing the same

Watched it again. Can't believe they actually made a whole trailer based around recording a few ball sounds.

We want organs and crowd chants plus proper noise and reaction.

I had no problems with the crowd sounds in 16 honestly. The fact that they were completely oblivious to what was happening on the court was the major issue. Haven't heard a single mention of it being fixed at all so I'm not hopeful for improvement..

Doesn't help that it's the same announcer, announcing in the same way for every team, NBA and college.

I both agree and disagree. I think they definitely needed to update the sound of the net and rim. Seeing as how we hear these sounds 100+ times per game, it is very noticeable how bad they were. I think 23 has been making a thread on this exact thing for the last few years.

That being said, I absolutely agree that the crowd reaction has been one of the weakest areas in NBA 2k. I feel the same way about the commentary; neither seems to really recognize what's happening on the court.

Hopefully there's a lot more to the arena atmosphere than what was shown in the trailer. I would love to finally have dynamic crowd reactions, and the arena/organ music and chants that happen on both offense and defense for each team.

Not realistic. Atlanta's arena is more than half-full.

Don't know why people always complain about 2K prioritizing the Park over everything elslewhen they are doing all of this lol.

They haven't even mentioned online at all.

A minute of the trailer was devoted to just that.

The video attempts to show that it has been. With the exception of the Kemba jumpshot, the crowd cheers at the right moment and level for each play.
