Behind the Scenes of NBA 2K14 with Steve Kerr

[Steve_OS]

Bleacher Report has posted this behind the scenes NBA 2K14 video with Steve Kerr. You can hear some samples of the new audio coming this year. 2K Sports captured 40 to 50 hours of his commentary, which according to Steve, is the norm.

Steve Kerr is really good at it. Good voice acting, he sounds very natural.

I so wish we had Marv Albert for classic matches, coupled with Mike Fratello and Bill Walton.

'A SPECTACULAR move by Michael Jordan!'

While you guys on there look for the vid when he put Steph Curry in his top 10 all time.

Love Kerr on the broadcast team for 2k. I hope this wasn't the small reveal Ronnie posted about on twitter though...

That's mainly because he isn't really acting. He's basically doing what he does normally, just in a booth with a mic instead of behind a desk with a camera.

NBA 2k always has spectacular commentary

Good gameplay invokes good and natural commentary in my book. I am willing to bet 2k's best commentary comes as a result of the guys just watching a cpu vs. cpu game and just reacting to what they see just like in real life without scripts to read.

This is yet another reason why simulation gameplay should be the foundation it only makes other parts of the game such as commentary and presentation better.

Mike Wang with the Cameo I see....

Clark Kellogg was a commentator for the Pacers and does NCAA basketball commentary, but he freakin sucks in 2K.

Kevin Harlan is also a great commentator IRL, but he's so-so on 2K. Mostly because, for some reason, they tell him to announce the result of EVERY free throw (instead of just talking about something else, since FTs aren't that important except down the stretch), and he doesn't get hyped like he does IRL when a player catches fire and drops 40-50. He also doesn't react as emotionally as he should for big clutch shots or amazing plays.

"Ray Allen has been a flamethrower!"
"Buckle up for LeBron James!"
"Blake Griffin climbing the ladder and slamming home the alley-oop!"
"Look at Ginobili slither inside and finish for two and the foul!"

And of course...

"KOBE BRYANT WITH NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE!"

You never hear anything like that from him in 2K.

Kerr is great but I was hoping that for next gen they can have team specific announcers or broadcast specific announcers like espn, TNT, and comcast sports net and whatever other networks.

Impossible. Not only would the commentary take an eternity to record, it would cost more money than the United States national debt.

Love 2k's commentary. One of the best aspects of the game.
