Is the Atmosphere patchable?

[bigsmallwood]

I was wondering is 2K able to patch something like the crowd noise ie, booing VC in Toronto, or being louder during the playoffs and NBA Finals? etc.

Just curious...

Re: Is the Atmosphere patchable?

I'm hoping, because that's the one thing that I think Live REALLY shines at... atmosphere. There is no competition in that area. The other areas, the games compete fairly well against one another, but Live takes the crown without contest in that aspect.

Here's to hoping they can figure out a way to patch it.

I agree with everyone in this thread.
I would think it IS patchable.
They did put in 'dynamic' crowds.
Its only sound, so i figure, yes.
Well shall see.
Yes, Live has an unreal arena ambience.
just unreal.
the new measuring stick.

2k has too much sound shifting. its loud, then it suddenly stops.
ugly.

Every game sounds like Game 7 playoff to me.

I think they need to have less people in the stands and lower volume during hte regular season. Then they can use this crowd/atmosphere for the playoffs.

I think this game almost has it right. Every game, even playoff games aren't raucous. The crowd gets loud when they're supposed to get loud for the most part.

No one is saying that but a playoff game shouldn't sound the same as preseason games.

even playoff games aren't raucous.

Only in New Jersey they aren't but for the most part they are.

There are a lot of lulls in the crowd atomosphere. Sure, the fans do their trademark chants and cheers, but there isn't much variation in the crowd reaction to different moments in the game. Also, the ambiance and "background crowd banter" could use a boost. They took a LARGE step in the right direction though.

Re: Is the Atmosphere patchable?

My biggest crowd complaint has been that it dies out at random moments, particularly when too many good things are happening in a row. If you go on too big of a run, or create a sequence where you dunk, steal the ball at half court and dunk again, by the time you get to that 2nd dunk, the crowd often does not really respond. Where it should be an explosion, we get indifference.

When they're loud, they're loud. But it's the inconsistant reactions that have been my issue.

They sure don't react properly on some amazing dunk or are very slow to react.

Makes for a dull experience at times of excitement.

Re: Is the Atmosphere patchable?

My main issue with the crowd is the lack of cheering for a steal. Do they even cheer for blocks?

Took the words RIGHT outta my mouth brother...hopefully, they can patch it (or at the very least fine-tune-it for 2K11)
