This is a great addition and step towards an realistic broadcast, but Kenny Smith is awful. AWFUL. Hopefully scripted Kenny is better.

Chuck clearly wants a Brinks truck backed up to his front door.

I'm going to give everyone a thumbs up in this thread.

I'm so freaking elated. Also notice how their outfits change as well. They're not always wearing the same outfit. Nice little touch. Also love the fact the camera was pulled back a little during the halftime highlights and postgame highlights. NBA2k14's halftime camera angle were a little too close.

This. Is. 2k. Sports. NBA2k.

Noticed the outfit change too. Thought that was a nice detail to add to the believability of the presentation.

Can't wait to see what else they have for us in the presentation department. This is a great start.

I'd still love to see a return of the nightly/weekly highlights they had back in the NFL 2k5 franchise mode. It would be great to see a "highlight from around the league" feature to give the feeling that those simulated could gamed in a season/franchise mode are actually taking place.

Hopefully they reveal something official and show who the 3rd commentator is today.

I like how they seem to broadcast on location.

Maybe Chuck will come around next year and that would be dope.

Kenny was on 2K6 and 2K7 I believe

I really hope to see at least the half-time show in MyCareer; not getting my hopes up but for consistency I hope it all is there.

I would like to see it in MP but it's supposed to be a personalized experience... meaning I doubt that NBA players IRL watch halftime and or post/pre game shows. It would be a nice option but I think that's what they're saying when they don't have that type of presentation in the MYPLAYER experience.

I think at that point, that'd pretty much have to go full TNT broadcast.

Dear September, please go away and end now, no one wants you here.

Very, very nice.

Sidenote, I think I prefer 2K's virtual Shaquille O'Neal with the stunted puppet movements to the one in real life, who seems to try too hard. All his lines comes across wonderfully deadpan in 2K, with that dead stare and robot movements. It's kind of perfect.

2k is really crapping on these other sports gaming companies that always say we will have this or that in the game next year, with all the new additions in this game I was thinking in the back of my mind ok something has to be missing, or taken out but it seems I was wrong in that thinking, 2k has set the bar and has really made me look at other sports gaming companies with a stale face as to what do they really do all year.


Back on subject though, I like that in each segment each person had on a different suit or tie, or in Ernie's case bow tie, little details like that go a long way.
