Sports Center is Next?

[NY Kid]

Instead of having the routine post game rap up how about having the announcer say "This has been a presentation of ...., now let's head to Bristol for Sports Center". Then we could have one of the ESPN anchors (who would seemingly have more time to do voicing) to do the highlights. Maybe even do a halftime show as well. Can you picture the anchor doing the Chris Berman style highlights for the top 25?

No. I rather them upgrade the gameplay than input other crap.

Don't mean to beat a dead bush, but 2K5 had this...seven long years ago

Even better, they could have ESPN's Chris McKendry do the game highlights.

Even better why not have her and an expert (ie Robert Smith) to give analysis?

Re: Sports Center is Next?

how about we worry more about the extremely flawed and glitchy gameplay before we start adding more fluff.

True but I'd rather see some sort of ESPN component than the post game we have now.

I would skip this feature 99% of the time, as I do with other games that have it.

WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE SPECIAL FEATURES UNTIL THEY FIX:

- NO HUDDLE
- CUSTOM PLAY BOOK
- TENDENCY GLITCH
- ROSTER ATTRIBUTE NUMBERS
- 4 VERTICLES

What's a verticle...

And gameplay should be top priority. I skipped through it on 2K5 most times.

Re: Sports Center is Next?

You know what they should fix is the insane screw-up of schedules when you make even the slightest change to a conference. I started a dynasty with Tulsa (wanted a challenge, especially with a new coach) and I randomized the OOC. Seeing as randomizing the whole OOC does it for every school (it's a domino effect), the random OOC somehow affected the conference schedules. For example, instead of playing Wisconsin the first week of B1G play, Nebraska plays Indiana...WTF

Flashy doesn't work anymore, at least for me.

Take Madden for example. They put a lot of time and a lot of marketing into the authentic player introductions and after I watched one, I skipped the rest. I also skip the introductions in NCAA.

I feel that, while the feature would be cool, it'll just get skipped like everything else.

Focus on the gameplay and test the game in 2013.

Re: Sports Center is Next?

This type of stuff is no good IF the lead up to you getting to it is shoddy gameplay.

If you played a game where you lost on a glitch or something like that, who cares about what analysis the anchors have to say.

Re: Sports Center is Next?

Gameplay should always be the first priority, but not the only priority. I remember College Hoops 2k8 had weekly wrapup shows. Most of the time, I did skip them, but always at least watched the Selection Sunday show each year and it was outstanding. It really added a lot to the experience.
