Last year they added interruptible commentary for big plays, the mode-specific commentary of Association AND NBA Today, etc. It wasn't as if there was a new word here or there, the commentary was specific to whatever was going on in the person's Association mode or what was going on in the real-life NBA with NBA Today (which was also incorporated into their Association mode). There's no other game touching what they're doing from a commentary standpoint - other than their own MLB2K that is.

Couldn't agree more with this. Their dynamic commentary is the best in sports. Look at the other sports games. NFL, NHL, MLB, Soccer, Boxing, you name it. None of them incorporate what's going on in you're association or career. 2K did that last year, something I thought was impossible. Do some of the lines get repetitive? Sure they do. But when you play any game -- especially a sports game -- there's so much variety that can be added.

Some of us here play this game for countless hours (I know I do). So getting some of the same lines is par for the course. But for the announces to recognize that my team struggled last game or that so-and-so has been hot lately is astounding. Can't believe anyone would take shots at the announcing.

Now if you don't like the announcers themselves, I can see that. I wish 2k could get the announcing crew Elite has. Or TNT's crew. Or bring back Kenny Smith. Never was a big fan of Clark Kellogg, especially because he's a college commentator.
