What happened to 2K's crowd? The Atmosphere has regressed in the worse way

[MarkWilliam]

Nice 2K9 throwback - good bit of perspective there.....

One of the big annoyances in the new 2Ks for me is when the home team gets a key bucket late in a game and the crowd literally goes DEAD SILENT in response.

It's like a sound glitch that's been in like the last 2 or 3 or however many 2Ks..... this constant audio reminder that something is kind of broken haha.....

This thread has made me want to go back to 2k14 full-time.

Since my thread was closed, Ill just post my ideas for improved atmosphere in here. Feel free to expand on anything or give some more ideas.

*Better crowd reaction overall, but especially for big shots or big plays (If I make a crazy comeback, I want the crowd to react like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqTruoOE_No)

*Same this as above with the commentary (it sucks when you get a crazy block or do a crazy dunk and not only is the crowd silent, but so are the commentators)

*More realistic reactions from players (I absolutely hate seeing Kawhi Leonard celebrating after hitting an uncontested layup mid game as if he was Curry and just hit his 8th three late in the 4th to tie the game) I feel like personality badges should affect whether players celebrate or how players act on the court.

*Better rim sound for dunks (This really needs to be fixed by now)

Also found this video and wanted to share it to give an idea of what 2K could sound like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETzEKTC2vns

2k11 and 2k12 were approaching this greatness, it didn't quite get there, but the audio was very awesome for that game. Then they slowly were going astray from 13 and so on.

I am hoping for a major overhaul in crowd noise/sounds/reactions as well.

Crowd atmosphere is such an important part of sports. It surprises me this is not a priority every year.

We've been asking for change since Live10....I doubt anything will change. I still want my custom arena music to come back.

I do like that they added a bunch of bells and whistles for each stadium but damn that "go (insert team name) go" chant. THAT'S THE MOST GENERIC CHANT! For gods sake 2k update that **** or just get rid of it! I never heard a bunch uninterested fans chant.....

Seems like 2K likes to take away features that were in previous games and bring it back as a “new” feature if they ever do...
