Why didnt he mention dynamic attendance?

Isnt that supposed to be in the game?

Was it just me, or did it seem like this was like a rebuttal to Live? Or maybe it's just cause they mentioned the holiday uni's. Anyways, everything sounds good. Great Read....

1 more thing. I can't beleive they got new cheerleader and mascot animations, this is going to be the best game ever!!!

IMHO I really don't think that needed to be mentioned with everything else.

All I can dream of is they get Lebron Jame's NBA logo to be on the centered of the headband!!!I know it sound crazy but I use the replay mode alot when Lebron does crazy play and the nba logo turns me off because it looks off, way off! Please PLEASE 2k!!!!

facial animations seem like a whole lot of work for so little payoff. unless im in replay mode, i will never notice... if the gameplay and CPU AI isnt up to snuff, none of this matters. so i feel they might have covered that unless they like wasting money

Loving what I read there it all sounded quite impressive. Good to see team-specific stadium intros are making it back into NBA games again. I'm actually getting more interested in the execution of the Image-Metrics facial models, it appears I may have underestimated just how extensive/detailed it might be. I still wish they did a better job with the fit of the uniforms; they still appear to be a little too loose/bloated and don't drape along the player models as accurately as I'd like.

Actually I think it will pay off quite a bit considering all the camera close-ups they can use on the players after big plays, penalties, and other time stoppages. It can really bring out the true emotion of the NBA.

2k is the truth.

Live is a harmless white lie.
