NBA 2K12 - Steve Kerr to Join Kevin Harlan on Commentary Team

[MavsFansForLife41]

I like this move because Clark doesn't do NBA games very much anymore and Kerr is very active in broadcasting. Could this also signal a TNT broadcast system for next year?

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........

Hubie may be knowledgable i just can't stand listening to him because of how he talks. Too many times he's talking about something just kind of rambling to kill time until he sees the replay. He just talks too slow for my liking. Its not smooth and quick enough, he's always 2 steps behind the action. I'm not saying he doesnt know what he's talking about. Plus he's captain obvious with a lot of what he says. And he uses the phrase "now look" and the word "ok" way too much when starting what he's going to say or when he's watching a replay. Like he'll be watching the replay rambling about something waiting for the replay to show something and then when he finally sees something its "now look". Just something about the way he talks frustrates me. He says ok after everything. I absolutely hate it when he's doing a big game because it makes it less enjoyable to watch.

this guy isn't great but watch his Hubie Brown impression, he does a good job duplicating how he talks and how dumb it sounds. He doesnt sound like him voice wise but he gets his style down pretty good.

Good addition.... just remove ALL of Kenny\ Clarks lines from the game...theyve been there in variation for 3 years lol

Wait - are they replacing Clark or are they going with a 3 man booth of Harlan, Kellog and Kerr? Both options are good choices regardless IMO.

What's funny is last week or 2 weeks ago, Kerr was doing a college game with Kellog and the play by play guy (can't remember if it was Nantz, Verne or someone else) and I was thinking how good of a fit Kerr would be in 2K's commentary. Kerr and Kellog seemed to work pretty good together so I'm not so sure if they are ditching Clark.

Steve Kerr joining the 2K commentary.....I'll take it!

[youvalss]

Not a bad move, as long as Kerr sounds more like he's actually doing commentary for a live game and not sitting at home and talking to his tape-recorder or something... In Live he sounds more like he's talking to friends during a dinner, on a Saturday night. Not much energy in his voice, and it doesn't sound like someone whos' actually in the stadium at all. I hopt 2K can make him sound better.

You can say what you want about Clark Kellogg, but Kellogg sounds like he's actually talking during a live game, Unlike Kerr.

Anyway, as long as Harlan is there, I'm happy. Whatever you do 2K, never ever hire Marv Albert. Please don't!

Nice move. I like Kellogg b/c he is passionate but he's primarily a college guy, so it's nice to get Kerr, who works TNT games, in the booth with Harlan. I'm sure 2K, with its "dynamic" commentary, will have Kerr on point.

I know the lines were recycled and the commentary wasn't dynamic, but I enjoyed Kerr and Marv Albert in NBA Live 10. Granted, I hadn't played Live in years so the old lines didn't bother me as much as others.

It could be that Clark Kellogg stays & Kerr comes in as a 3rd commentator.

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

And the Choir said AMEN !!! As good as he is on TV you should see him at a coaches clinic... Amazing !

[Sheldon27]

Like I said in previous NBA 2K11 threads, I really like Harlan and I don't mind Clark but and Kerr will be a nice add for next year, I liked him in the Live series but... Is it too much to ask for Mike Green and Mark Jackson? and maybe Van Gundy? I think it's time for 2K to give a new look on commentary. Like I said, I love Harlan but he's been there for so many years now... I think Mike Green would be a awesome replacement

C'mon, I wanna hit a 3 with Ray Allen and hear "Ray Allen for 3.... BANG!" lol

[swiftychampleone]

Guys we're coming on the year 2012. Here's one: "Commentator choices".. Choose between Harlan/Kerr, Breen/Jackson/Van Gundy, Marv/Miller, Tirico/Hubie. Yeah, sounds unrealistic due to time and budget constraints, but wouldn't that be awesome? Commentary is a big-sell to me. Who wants to play a sports-game with commentary turned off? It kills Madden(along with other mess but that's a whole 'nother argument). I think I read that MLB 2K commentary has been a bright spot over the years despite the game's shortcomings.

In laymen's terms, "Yeah, I can't stand Clark Kellogg, either!"...:-)

We Want Chuck! We need his Trillness...

And Chuck wants to get P-A-I-D!

Why would Kerr let this slip? Damn it - people can't keep a secret anymore.

[AndyP]

Good move imo. The commentary as it stands was outstanding but this would be an improvement.

Re: steve kerr on nba 2k12

Clark Kellogg was good, but it never made sense to have him in the game since he's not an NBA announcer.
