Re: Parachutes in Crowd???
Lol. I love it, save for the occasional time it obscures my view. There's at least 1 camera angle that's not conducive to them.
I haven't gone to a live game in years so I don't know if they're prevalent in NBA arenas

At real NBA games some arenas do this to to give out free t shirts or things like that. Guess they just wanted to replicate that in game

Re: Parachutes in Crowd???
When new ownership took over in Detroit a few years ago they tried their best to turn the game into a circus. Lots of lasers, dub-step, MC Hammer & Bobby Brown performing at half-time, cheerleaders pelting fans with balled up t-shirts any time someone hit a 3-pointer (threes for tees), and yes, empty pizza boxes being parachuted from the ceiling with coupons for a free Papa Johns pizza slice.

That said, it's comically overdone in NBA 2K18. It seems like the development team has something going on with the crowd where things like that either have to happen all the time or never at all. It was the same problem with the Fat Heads a few years ago.
It'd be cooler if things like the parachutes and fat heads happened occasionally but most certainly not after every single time-out. It's strange. Also, super small detail, but these parachutes probably shouldn't drop at all for classic teams. In fact, a small amount of research should be conducted to figure out which teams actually do this and how often.Comment

I work at the United Center and the parachute drop literally happens 1 time in the 4th quarter. For it to happen all game every game in 2k is drastically overdone. Their t shirt budget went thru the roof this season lol

Re: Parachutes in Crowd???
I have a huge problem with this imo. Takes so much realism out when parachutes are falling from the sky the all gameLast edited by zrohman; 11-26-2017, 01:45 PM.Comment

Re: Parachutes in Crowd???
It's a bit of a distraction on broadcast cam....
I like the creativity but it would have been better suited as a timeout cut scene or something to that effect..

Re: Parachutes in Crowd???
this also isnt fake. the camera angle in NBA2k18 makes the blimp look bigger than it actually is.
I like the parachutes and those air canons etc. doesnt bother me one bit.Last edited by tril; 11-26-2017, 01:17 PM.Comment

Re: Parachutes in Crowd???
I like them, I just don't care for the frequency of them. Teams aren't dropping parachutes with pizza coupons every time-out, or even on most time-outs. In most cases, it occurs once a game. Teams tend to rotate gimmicks throughout the contest - they'll do Kiss Cam once, then trampoline dunkers, then Dance Cam, then Pizza Parachutes, Giant Lottery Ticket, T-Shirt Cannon, etc. The parachutes happening over and over during games in 2K18 is a bit much, to the point where they've become synonymous with the game itself.Comment
