Exactly. A good number of players who want all this will probably wind up clicking right through it after a few games. One of the few things Live does well is the Halftime report. Not so much the execution of it (the commentary is still very stilted) but just the overlays and the amount of information. Like someone said earlier, if 2K could somehow snag a TNT license and incorporate their crew into the game, it would be magnificent. They could treat it just like the voices they have now and simply lift real audio from old broadcasts. Just create models a little prettier than Doris Burke, and we'd have an awesome halftime and hopefully postgame wrap up show. For all the hoopla over NFL 2K5, they did have the ESPN license for a time and did nothing with it for their basketball game...
