NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #11 - Audio

[B-Wills]

Amazing, just amazing. Kinda off topic but I wish madden had the same ambition as 2k does for their games, that's one of the main reasons I wish they'd bring nfl 2k football back. The insights this year were truly stellar. Game comes out in a few weeks so I guess the Association mode insight is gonna be the main treat, can't wait to see that one, because that's the mode I play the most..

Well, it often comes in spurts. Spurtability is what I call it.

i'm sorry that some of you can't take any criticism that people have for 2k....

i'm a 2k fan too, just an unbiased one, not a nut sucker like some of you.

so ya, i will say what like about 2k and what i don't like about it.

if u really got that excited about audio insight, u have issues. lol

As long as they get rid of this I'll be a happy man.

Sometimes, if you're playing offline against a friend, it's the worst when he lets you know there's only 20 seconds left.

Maybe my friend wasn't paying attention, Clark. But thanks for letting him set up his offense.

my god....2k does not dissapoint at all...

damn they really went at this game with all creative juices flowing...terrific!

I love how they didnt just tweak or add things to the general audio, they litterally categorized every part of the audio, and then went at changing all of that, id love to here how a guy like steve kerr would talk about his experience compared to the the experience he had with live,

I love that they realized how stats played a part in the audio, scoring 20 pts each in the first quarter when playing 5 min quarter certainly was a high scoring game, but its closer to being a low scoring game in regards to a 12 min game. In 2k11 they treated the score as a high scoring game regardless of the quarter length, i like how they have changed it to better incorporate the length of quarters.

I love the various details they have taken into consideration in regards to the "greatest player " mode. Thats just insane.

And the cherry on top is the new ability to do audio patches. Meaning players that might be in the dleague or whose names might be pronounced wrong, will now be updated with their names and extra dialouge just for them. I am hopeful they do this with my player (i create a player with the last name Hawk, yet, the closest last name that the commentators can speak is Hawkins....so i either deal with that, or stick to them calling my number or nickname) so that people who are using common names that arent in the database can have their names added.

I wasn't referring to the insight

I was talking about what you said about Steve Kerr not knowing anything about the game.

He played in the NBA and was a GM and what have you done?

Has nothing to with me being a nutsucker, it has something to do with you not knowing what you're talking about.

I'm 99.99% sure Steve Kerr knows more about basketball than you do.

Is it me or does kellogg lines sound scripted. He just does not sound natural. Happy to hear about the crowds. Just hope that they truley do react appropriately. The crowd reactions really add to a game and in an intense game the crowd can make the game even more fun.

On another note I was dissapointed that custom sounds were not mentioned. That is part of audio right? This gives me the impression that it was not improved or work on much at all.
