[Eman5805]

So Kellogg is out now or something? If so, I approve.

Me too. It felt weird to be playing 2K and having some guy that I don't know doing commentary.

I actually don't mind Clark.....but I'd rather have somebody who ACTUALLY odes NBA games. I think this is a good move.

Plus....Steve Kerr was one of the few things I liked about Live.

I've never understood the Kellogg hate by some around here myself. I think he's been very good in the game, except for a few lines here/there which is understandable. That said I do remember Kerr delivering his lines well in a few past NBA Live games. As someone else noted imo it's more about the script and how the voice talent is directed, which 2K does a great job at. Short of going to a 3-man booth a new play-by-play voice should add some freshness to the commentary

I didn't mind Kellog's commentary, but I prefer having Steve Kerr. He's solid on real-life TNT broadcasts and was also solid in the Live games.

Good call, 2K.

Re: steve kerr on nba 2k12

If Harlan gave the announcement hopefully that means he will still be on the broadcast team in 2k. If Kerr doesn't get a good script or put in enough studio time in regards to commentary his addition means nada. I really don't think Clark is bad imo. Just give the man a better script....

Sorry but Clark sucks, he's the reason (him and his stupid lines) that a lot of people turn the commentary off. Take that garbage rebounding virtuoso line out

Clark Kellogg does do actual NBA games just not on a national level. Kellogg has been the color commentator for road Pacers games for more than 20 years so he does do work at the NBA level.

Being a Pacers fan I like Clark Kellogg in NBA 2k11 and would rather have Kellogg than Kerr. But, I'm playing the game for the actual gameplay not who is calling the games so it doesn't really matter who they have doing the play by play to me.

Not a bad guy to have doing the commentary; that said Clark wasn't that horrible. While 2k definitely improved the commentary from last year, they could have worked harder at making sure that Clark doesn't sound like a douche.

nice addition but as someone else said, put Marv Albert in there. Steve and Marv with some TNT stuff (lock up that deal for TNT 2k). Maybe keep Harlan and Clark (although i'm not much of a Kellogg fan) and have 2 different teams so you dont get the same guys every game.

Just as long as Hubie Brown isnt in there (i know he's ESPN/ABC). When he is doing the game its the worst. The way he speaks (how many times does he say "ok" or "now look") and how hard he tries to justify every call the refs make as the right call, he is brutal. Mike Tirico, Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson would be nice if they could have the ESPN/ABC rights in the game. But just get TNT in there at least.

Hubie Brown is one of the most knowledgeable and best analysts there is

Oh ok. I'm in Mavs country so I wouldn't know about Pacers regional broadcast. You taught me something.

Anyway, I like 'em both. But Kerr might be a breath of fresh air.

Oh my goodness that is so backwards!!!

I'm sick of Marv, and Kevin Harlan is TEN steps ahead of him at this point in his career.

And Hubie Brown is legendary. His knowledge is unmeasurable.

Glad you're not in charge........

I don't like it, it's like taking the Live series commentators and adding them to 2k basketball. I don't want to hear Marv or Kerr...we've been hearing him since Live on PS2.

If they do add him as a third commentator, it better be refreshing and a good mix of all three.

Because the commentary in MLB 2k11 with 3 commentators is amazing!!! Better than anything else out! And 2nd to none so far!

We Want Chuck! We need his Trillness...

Him + Hubie Brown/Van Gundy = Perfecto to me, commentary would be better than the gameplay

[tez326]

Almost anyone would be better than Kellogg(except maybe Walton)
