Re: 2 gamespot segments from GS. (shows some classic commentary)

I hope they release some sort of demo with one Jordan Challenge. I'd play that way too much leading up to the game's release.

If I was 2K I'd be like "Here's Lakers-Celtics. But if you want to play the GOAT, get them 6 Hamiltons ready along with tightening your jockey strap for this one."

My dad was really good friends with wilt chamberlain. He used to come to vancouver after he retired to play beach volleyball with my dad who was playing pro at the time and just be a regular joe. On a couple occasions he went out to dinner with my dad. My pops remembers his knees almost touching the ceiling in his small volkswagon back in the day. My mom has a picture with him too and she barely reaches his chest lol. One thing my dad said about Wilt was that he NEVER EVER mentioned basketball. He was almost trying to live a second life around my dad just being normal and all. Oh and he loved pasta Anyways that was off topic but you brought up Wilt so i thought i'd share with ya'll the awesomeness of Wilt. Just a down to earth dude. My dad was just fortunate to be his friend.

Damn, wish I could've met Wilt. IMO, the greatest basketball player ever.

Trust me, he was just a normal dude the way my dad talks about him, besides the fact he was 7 foot and would go home with numerous ladies every night. No joke.

So it was true that in his life he had sex with 20,000 women.

I really like the player models. They look slimmer and more basketball like.

This looks really nice, just wish it could have been a bit longer.

The way Kellogg keeps rambling on even during Jordan's nice and 1, and dunk, is irritating.

This gripe aside, I'm impressed thus far considering this is meant to be a much older build than the Gamescon demo.

I look forward to playing this with the commentary turned off as I can't stand Kellogg's voice.

I love the new dunk sound when MJ throws down that one-hander! Ba-boom. The new horn/buzzer is also far more realistic sounding. Great job on the revamped audio 2K.

The presentation is fantastic. This game is just loaded with content.

Re: 2 gamespot segments from GS. (shows some classic commentary)

It's weird because 2K1 on the Dreamcast was the first 2K game to have historic players. And one of them was Wilt Chamberlain who died in 1999.

I wonder if his relatives gave 2K permission.

Typically, whoever owns their estate. Which in most cases is probably a relative.


After watching this video, this is definately a first day purchase.

I do enjoy the commentary in this game, but sometimes big plays are left untouched because of the carry over of conversation they are having. Take for instance Jordan's dunk in this video. They are talking about something non-related and when they are done they leave no commentary for what Jordan just did. It would be nice to see a little bit better commentary transition there.

They already branch out of commentary in 2K10 to say "OHHHHH!" when a crazy dunk happens. They should be able to branch out of a commentary piece to say something like "As Jordan puts that one home" and then lead back into the previous commentary by adding a quick phrase like "As I was saying". Actually you wouldn't even need to add that lead in phrase, they could probably just pause a second and continue right where they left off. It should feel natural.

fail because the NBA finals logo is the updated version not the same as in 1992 and its inside the three point line back then it was closer to half court!
