So when do the player intros take place? Did they skip? I watched with the audio off.

They would be before the game, just like when we see the pregame preparations of the players in the past.
They have also said that player introductions don't happen every game.

With the power of PS4, I wonder why they can't make the models of Shaq and Ernie look authentic...I mean u have games like The Last Of Us for example with realistic looking character models consistently throughout the game...and yet here u have only 2 models to work with in a studio and u can't manage to get it looking authentic? Hmmm....

That's a bad example because that is a linear game. Linear games always look better than sports games or open world games because they only have to load what path you are supposed to take vs thousands of 3d models(sports game) or large areas of land with object on it.
As far as them lookig "real" they look like they were scanned. Everyone looks basically the same in 2k if they were scanned. Obviously the players look better most likely because they have a higher poly count, but Shaq Ernie and now Doris don't look bad by any means.

Something to think about - we know how many people button through half time shows. Spoiler: it's a lot a lot.

So that must mean a overhaul is due.

I knew it was to good to be true.. As much as they added something had to be taken away.. Next year there gonna add back the halftime show and make it seem like its some innovative new feature lol

I could deal with out the camera showing a bunch of the after made shot animations, it would be more realistic to show them much more sporadically. I also think it would make A LOT more sense if replays were shown at deadballs or timeouts. Then you could show 2-3 at a time and it wouldn't interfere with the actual game.

**Jakeness23** · 10-01-2014, 03:06 PM

Another thing, on fouls, I wish the players wouldn't just stop right in there tracks, it'd be more fluid for the guy that got fouled, to get his high fives and stuff as he is walking to the line and the other guys (like the defenders) should be moving around, walking and looking up at the screen instead of just standing like zombies. It's small, but it'd make it look much more fluid and realistic. Like the guy that fouled him, if he clapped in frustration or said something to the ref and then looked up at the replay, that would look better IMO.

That or revamp it(lord knows it needed that. also lets try to remember the Damon Bruce stuff)

**Jakeness23** · 10-01-2014, 03:40 PM

Get rid of any animations where they help someone off the ground for the other team. That happens very rarely, if ever IRL.

Also noticed that once a player's warmups come off, they don't come back. That should be fixed, or at least have them put on a shooting shirt. It's a small detail, but that's where we're at with 2K now lol.

it's still weird to have a gaming company hype a pregame show with no halftime. lol

Well they skip it because it sucks...how about enhancing the half time show rather than remove it completely...

I never skipped NFL2k5's halftime show because it was fun to watch...jeez you guys had Ernie & Shaq they could've done something for halftime at least....

I don't know how I feel about having the D-pad for calling plays....I guess it could work...walking the ball up and using the right thumb to cycle through the plays wouldn't be to bad...

This halftime show brings back so many fond memories, and that was on Xbox 1, NOT Xbox One. I don't see how something similar couldn't be implemented into 2K15, 10 years later. Chris Berman was the man in this halftime show btw.

It would be nice to see a halftime show, but it's not a deal breaker. The thing that bothered me was the reasoning was that most people skip it, so we figured we'd just take it out. Don't get that attitude. I guess they felt the same way about practice modes, hence no practice mode.

Some people said the spacing was better, but it still was a little off, along with the floaty passing. One thing that I did like was the contact in the paint and the animations after contact, also the fluidity of the players seemed to move better but we don't know how much we have control of our players until the controllers is in our hands.

Tbh they hardly hyped it. It was alluded to a few times and revealed in the Yakeem trailer, but it wasn't hyped like everything else they've talked about.

That's been a problem since they first put them in years ago so I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. Seems like it may be more complicated than we think(though Live does it where they put the shooting shirt back on or the entire warmup)

I can live without a halftime show. Or even the announcing of the starting lineups.

What I find mindboggling is somehow not being able to edit headband/goggles, when they had them LAST gen...and maybe even before that.

It's most likely a bug they have to fix
