In regards if there's anything more about the halftime report. That's a little disappointing.

What was said about the half time report? I can't find Dustin's post.

That's funny because they did use Greg Anthony.

My question is how long until the studio does an interview? I think it'd be near to have shaq, ernie and Kenny asking questions to somebody after a big playoff game along with doris burke. Think MyCareer.
My argument for this would be that you get s completely different style of question from reporters and former players/analysts. Just a thought [emoji1]

I can not wait to see how this whole presentation package comes together. We have Kenny being added to the pregame. Halftime and postgame wrap up's returning. Greg Anthony is the new commentator AND we have the new ticker scrolling across the bottom of the screen keeping us informed on top of all this!!

Huh, I'm confused if its similar to 2K15? There wasn't even any real halftime highlights in 2K15, but in the Shaq,Ernie, and Kenny Smith video for 2K16 it looks like there are highlights with the commentators breaking down the action of the first half.

What is this new ticker that you speak of? Is it what I think it is? Don't get me hyped even more. Link or quote please. Presentation overload ... always a good thing.

I wouldn't say they're doing anybody a favor. They're a business and their job is to make the best basketball simulation they possibly can to make as much money and please as many people as possible. The dev team is passionate for sure, but let's not act like they're cutting checks to Kenny and Shaq because it makes the OS community feel warm and fuzzy inside.

But I think that is his point. If VC was only about the money, you would see LESS features that the sim community cares about, and more features for the mass market folks. Czar and OGs blogs are a primary example of features the casual fan wouldn't even care about.

Yes, my man. 2K added a sports ticker. Here it is from the MyLeague Blog:

Ticker

The most compelling aspect of a franchise mode, to me, is the storytelling. Sports are full of drama. You have star players getting hurt that change the landscape of a league. You have players demanding trades and/or getting traded. You have general league news. You have game results. You have upcoming key games. I don’t think we have ever done a tremendous job of presenting this type of information in a medium that is easy for you to consume. Enter the Ticker.

The Ticker is exactly what it sounds like. Let me start off by saying that you aren’t going to appreciate this feature until you have the game in your hands and have spent some time with it. We have carved out a space on every single screen in the modes, where we will present you with a continuously scrolling ticker containing the latest news from around the league. You’ll certainly see last night’s scores and who the leading scorers were for each team. You’ll see tonight’s matchups. You’ll see the latest news headlines. Later in the season, you’ll start to see all-star weekend content, and eventually draft previews and big boards. If you are IN THE DRAFT, you will see real-time updates of the pick order and who each team has picked.

2K has lost their freaking minds this year!!

Honestly, I don't know how anyone could keep up with everything 2K added this year. It's crazy. But I would assume that the ticker will be shown during actual games. That's where most people will spend their time. Plus with it, franchise types like myself wouldn't need to scroll through the news tabs and stuff to see what's going on in the league. Maybe someone in the know could weigh in...

Why does everyone want Chuck in the game?

1. He's shown a distinct lack of basketball I.Q, he's a terrible analyst who is stuck in his ways and is pretty much a relic at this point.

2. Hes an overweight degenerate gambler with homophobic tendencies.

3. He's an *******.

Keep him out the game. I wish TNT would keep him out of broadcasts as well.

Nate Robinson did a guest broadcast a while back for TNT. I really hope they fire chuck and hire Nate. He was much better as an analyst.

We've been over this already...People want Chuck as a commentator because they think that hey Chuck's now in the game as a commentator now we can get the '92-'93 Suns team and whatever classic teams he was on, in the game as classic teams. It has nothing to do with his broadcast skills.

If I'm not mistaken, they had a ticker in 2k10. I believe. I remember it causing serious lag (PS3) offline where I had to disable it. It was cool but the lag was too much. Hope there are no issues with it this time.
