The video highlights aren't what made 2k5 or Choops 2k8's weekly recap shows as great as they were. I skipped the highlights more often than not after seeing them enough times I could tell you where every player went. What made them special was seeing results and stats from each game, seeing major injuries, seeing trade rumors heat up, seeing Cinderella stories come to life and be talked about, etc.


The video highlights were near the bottom of the list if not at the bottom as to why those recap shows were so loved. It's the same thing with Choops 2k8 having a selection show in their legacy. It adds to the immersion. It was exciting to start the selection show and see if you made the tourney or to see if you got that final 1 seed. It was exciting to go from 0-3 to 3-3 in 2k5 and have Chris Berman talk about your team turning it around and surprising some folks. It was great seeing Chris Berman talk about the impact losing Santana Moss would have on the Jets. It was immersive to see everything that was talked about.


If video highlights are what is keeping them from creating a show, then forget about them and create it now! Make this mode come to life finally. A recap show would do wonders for CFM and its lack of immersion.
