It's a videoGAME. On some level it needs to be allowed to be that and people stop taking this realism thing too far. Kerr just signed in May. So for the sake of the few people unwilling to suspend belief they're playing a videogame, they should rip up their commentary? This assumption that everything is simple to implement, including making a major change to what's long been the best commentary implementation in a sports game, is ridiculous. If they replaced him with someone like Reggie Miller and there were speech tone fluctuations, or the commentary sounded unnatural because they'd gone outside their normal development process, those complaining would have issue with that, too. Thank goodness the majority of people purchasing the game likely won't nitpick the game to death over something that shouldn't be a big deal.
