It is so annoying to me that 2K makes over a billon dollars on a game and can not upgrade the arenas to mimic real life.... First the arenas are not realistic, there is no detail to each specific arena for example; the staples center when the Lakers play there home games there is theater lighting and when the clippers play the arena lights are bright...2K needs to make every arena unique to give it that authentic feel....also each arena has specific sounds like the Lakers band and the defense riff....more and more teams are also integrating hip hop uptempo beats when the home team is on offense that would be nice as well.... Next issue is making a more realistic crowd with more variety of people....Next is getting the unnecessary guy in cargo pants holding the swiffer sweeper at each end of the court and the mascot standing in one spot like a robot... They should add more camera guys and at the scores table put more people then 4 at a long press/scores table, I usually see like 10 people sitting comfortably there in real life... Add more assistant coaches I see 4 to 5 assistants on the beach an 2 on 2k.... The head coach should pace the sideline and have more emotions and players should be able to be seen with there warm ups ondrinking Gatorade with a towel on there shoulders...overall please 2k make the game atmosphere more realistic and authentic with note detail focused on a true life NBA environment.....

Re: NBA 2K18 Needs to focus on background atmosphere finally !!!
Just some quick things I want from 2K18's atmosphere (tbh I think they're not too hard).
- Make the crowd louder in general. Especially through the entirety of a close 4th Q/OT + 90% of playoff games.
- Get rid of the stupid individuals shouting weird insults at players. It comes out of nowhere and makes no sense to me + it adds nothing to the atmosphere at all (personally at least).
- I know in the NBA the commentators will go on about a backstory of a player really often, but in a video game, because the commentators don't change the story (i.e. they keep repeating the same sh*t over and over), 2K should just make it more play-by-play because it gets repetitive as opposed to the real NBA where they at least word the same stories differently.
- From the last point, make play-by-play calls quicker. Because often the play-by-play is so slow and makes no sense commentating on the situation on the screen. Play-by-play is also super inaccurate and sometimes makes no sense reflecting what happened on the screen. FIFA improved this part a lot from what I've seen.
- Make crowd reactions to huge comeback runs or pull-away runs more insane, especially if the team that gets scored on calls timeout.
2K can play mad hype arena music while we either relish or contemplate the situation during the timeout.
Main issue is the crowd reaction to situations. E.g. athletic dunks, clutch defensive/offensive plays, big runs.
Another atmosphere thing could be trash talk and confrontations between players. Especially after posters/hard blocks/bad fouls/hard screens.Comment

Did anyone ever notice this?
I didn't lol
I've leaned to take those teasers they do pre-launch with a grain of salt now ever since LD2K "cut the cheese" and didn't deliver this franchise has lost my trust.

There's nothing I love more than hitting a huge shot in the finals and hearing MY HOME CROWD crowd go silent 😂

Re: NBA 2K18 Needs to focus on background atmosphere finally !!!
The gameplay is what 2k mainly focuses on year after year but it would be nice for the devs to take some time a look at real nba atmospheres and how it looks around the arena from courtside to the nose bleed sections and how the lighting in the arenas are different...the ball boy dosent stand on the side of the court he sits behind the basket usually unseen and even if they dont include all assistant coaches on the bench put more staff on the sideline to make it more realistic and change referees like mlb the show with different tendencies so they can implement technical fouls and ejections and flagurant 2's...and a huge pet pev is the refs wear generic black dress shoes...Comment

Re: NBA 2K18 Needs to focus on background atmosphere finally !!!
Definitely agree with the OP. 2K apparently travelled to all courts? Does not seem like it at all. Hoping 2k18 lighting and court authenticity is MUCH betterComment

Re: NBA 2K18 Needs to focus on background atmosphere finally !!!
I think a crowd noise meter, like in the ncaa football games, is the way to go, with playoffs getting an automatic bump. If your teams goes on a massive run, IRL the crowd goes crazy but not in the game. With a crowd meter, middle would make the crowd normal of course, and as you go lower on the meter the home crowd gets more silent and then louded and louder with boos, whereas getting higher in the meter generates louder and louder cheers. So if your team goes on a run or hit a couple 3s consecutively, the crowd meter goes a lot and the crowd gets louder, then as the opposing team calls a timeout the crowd unleashes and goes nuts because the meter is so high. Or if the away team goes on a massive run or is blowing out the home team, boos ensue because the meter is so low.
Another thing i want to see is active crowds, meaning fans are moving from their seats constantly but at realistic times. at the beginning of games i want to see a lot of fans going to their seats. at the end of quarters and especially halftime i want to see fans leave their seats, and at the end of games i want to see fans stay in their seats. also, if its a huge blowout loss later in the game i want to see fans leave, even if a lot of fans are gone starting the 4th quarter because the home team is losing so badly. I also want to see fans leaving the arena at the end of games, because as of right now fans are always in their seats at the end of games. And making certain fans constantly walking up and down the stairs to add to the illusion does not cut it!
Basically, just make the fans seem alive, dynamic, and realistic, because they are way to static and boring right now.PSN / Xbox GT - BLUEnYELLOW28Comment

Re: NBA 2K18 Needs to focus on background atmosphere finally !!!
That's a great point I totally agree with you. To add on to that I would like to see a variety of different crowds meaning a regular season crowd and a playoff crowd and if the team is tanking mid season a lame duck crowd... Also I would like the ability to add music and arena sounds to teams like mlb the show at certain points of the game....and the ability to add mods like advertisements on the baskets and around the arenaComment

Re: NBA 2K18 Needs to focus on background atmosphere finally !!!
I think the crowds are too laid back. Like in real life when a player gets loose on a fast break the crowd comes to it's feet in expectation of what kind of dunk a player may do but not in 2K. If they can make the bench players stand up when this happens the crowd should as well. As someone mentioned earlier when a player hits a big shot at home the crowd's reaction is almost non-existent. When a player posterizes someone the crowd should go wild but the crowd is like "Meh, that was nice". They need to amp the crowd up in 2K.Comment

Re: NBA 2K18 Needs to focus on background atmosphere finally !!!
The whole arena dynamic needs revamping from the crowd, crowd nose, authentic arena sounds, to the designs of the arenas I mean they look like ps3 graphics in the crowd and look and ps4 graphic on the floor as far as gameplay...even bench players should be able to cheer and starters should be able to put there warm ups back on when on the bench...the head coach and assistant should be more active as well...fans should have more personality and not all robotic and boringComment
