Could 2K Just Go Ahead and Pay for TNT rights
They have EJ Keeny And Shaq all we need is Chuck and that'll complete it. That would be super cool to have their Presentation in the game Like NBA 08:The Drive. Keep the announcers they already have. And add Reggie Miller and Marv Albert. But this is probably a stretch and wishful thinking

Re: Could 2K Just Go Ahead and Pay for TNT rights
I kinda felt this way before but I am slowly moving toward 2K continuing their own presentation thing. It's like a hybrid of TNT and NBA TV and they have all of the presentation elements there, already. Evidently, Barkley wants more money. So he's out. I honestly don't think that a videogame can capture Barkley's essence, anyway. He's just so off the cuff and honest. Miller, who knows, I would like to see one of his teams but I don't like him as an announcer. He's grating. IMO, 2K just needs to continue to evolve what they have and add more content and stuff like the sitdown interviews, pre game, halftime and post game show. Sekou Smith and another NBA reporter were photographed in mocap suits. We don't know what it means yet but I'd much prefer that than spending money on TNT, Barkley and Miller. -

Barkley and Miller will probably never be in the game...
After that, why do we need TNT logo in the game?Comment

Re: Could 2K Just Go Ahead and Pay for TNT rights
As Junior was saying, let's stick with 2k's own presentation. I don't want every single game I play to be a TNT game considering those are 2 a week. We essentially have the TNT license without having the TNT license. Getting Charles Barkley to join Kenny, Ernie and Shaq in the studio has nothing to do with TNT unless you called it "Inside the NBA."
They are not owned as individuals by TNT.
What, do you guys just want the TNT logo there and the music? Nah I love the direction 2k is going.
Greg Anthony and Clark Kellogg gotta go though. My vote is for Chris Webber.Die hard Heat and Dolphins fan since '89

Re: Could 2K Just Go Ahead and Pay for TNT rights
Barkley swears his name is on par with Jordan or something. He must be asking for a crazy amount of cash if 2k can't get him to join the crew. He alluded to it being because of "not enough money" during a tnt broadcast while the rest of the cast was promoting the game.
Chuck has been missing from every NBA video game I can think of. He always had a generic character replacement. He must want an NBA contract just to use his likeness. Hell, even Jordan is in a bunch of games and even dons the special edition of 2k16
Idk what's the deal with Reggie Miller's omission. Not even his throwback jersey in the 2k store, along with so many other obvious ones. Rasheed Wallace too..
I know the players association and stuff like that.. But is that really the case with these guys?Comment

Re: Could 2K Just Go Ahead and Pay for TNT rights
it was cool when they had custom sounds then you could add real broadcast music and it made the game feel a lot more authentic imoComment

Re: Could 2K Just Go Ahead and Pay for TNT rights
Not even in the right universe when talking about Chuck's absence. It has NOTHING to do with $$$. He hates the way the league treats it's retired players. And Reggie, no idea but my guess is $$$.Barkley swears his name is on par with Jordan or something. He must be asking for a crazy amount of cash if 2k can't get him to join the crew.

I obviously have no idea how the resource allocation actually works with the game, but I would rather see that money spent on salaries for more gameplay engineers, R&D for new tech, more mocap, more college hoops integration, stuff like that.Jordan Mychal Lemos

Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.
Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.Comment

Chuck has stated many times that they don't pay enough to use his likeness

Re: Could 2K Just Go Ahead and Pay for TNT rights
Yeah, Rick Fox. I like where 2K is going with the presentation. I would LOVE to see "Kenny's Stamp of Approval" (from 2K7) make a return during the halftime show. I like stuff like that. It's not a real life segment (that I'm aware of), but it works. I totally get the TNT love, though. 2K cant go wrong either way. Like someone else mentioned, if we get custom sounds back we could make it ourselves. It's so close already. I used to use the TNT theme for up until the finals, then I went with the old NBA on NBC.Comment
