I'm not sure if the blue looks darker because it's changed or because 2K puts a contrast filter for their promo video. Barnes does look good. They've been doing a great job on the rookies last few years.

Yea Lee really needs a new face. We can only hope they can fix that and they finally got the right jersey color for the Warriors away uni's. The last 2 games haven't had the right color at all and it sucks because they have the right color in the game with the Warriors throwback teams

Eh nothing too groundbreaking. It looks ok, the one thing that worries me is the ankle breakers. Yeah it'll be nice to have them, but 2k has a habit of over exaggerating things(just like posterized dunks happening all the time.) I hope these aren't overdone and happening all over the place.

I'm a fan of the written insights as oppose to the videos. The written insights just packed in so much more detail

# 64 Phreezy P @ 08/31/12 06:57 PM

Good to know TFB was doing the dunk animations, they are sick dunkers, just watch them on YouTube.

But on another note, I believe wholeheartedly that there will be an All Star Weekend DLC. They put too much work into the Dunk contest to just allow 10% of the players to actually have it. It'd be pretty stupid for it not to be DLC.

Sounds good. Funny touch with the hidden Insider's face.

He has a very dangerous job.

No need to be hostile.

Nice. The best is just getting better. That's how you...well...get better.

He's had his ankles broken, literally, by Jimmer of all people.

# 71 The 24th Letter @ 08/31/12 08:12 PM

From the responses I've seen I figured the video started....they said "we added stuff" and it went off....

It's an Insight, not a gameplay vid....they honestly could've written what they said but I appreciated the video....I for one. am intrigued by the focus on animations..

# 72 jfsolo @ 08/31/12 08:12 PM

I'm glad that the animators got some pub. Those folks do work every year and never get any run. Big ups to them for once again doing a top shelf job.

he has no place in this insight...I actually enjoyed seeing the people working on the animation part of the game...

so will the art team be in the dark as well if they have an insight? That team isn't exactly popular either....

The did improve the colors last year. It's at least darkish blue-- the year before it was almost a powder blue. They also vastly improved colors for Oracle Arena though it's not quite there. It's really odd that they can't quite get colors right after repeated requests for years, while we can get major changes in gameplay based on forum and community feedback. It's like there's a zone of silence around the art team responsible for textures and models that insulates them from requested changes. Maybe they're being outsourced to 2K China and the lines of communications aren't as direct.

Wonder if that also has anything to do with us not getting a single mid season player art/hair update even though the system for it was heavily promoted during 2K's release.

# 75 alecast @ 08/31/12 11:14 PM

This video is useless.
They talked about "4000 animations" that have beenn added to the game, but didn`t show us 5 of them!
Is it about talking or about showing us what the game really is?
Pfffffff.

# 76 TreyIM2 @ 08/31/12 11:43 PM

I gotta admit, this would mean nothing to me if they never changed the controls. I've said for year, THIS is apart of what 2K does best. Nothing new but I NOW get excited knowing the game is going to have analog dribbling. MAJOR game changer for me so now knowing they have over 4,000 animations excites the ish out of me....but this vid really didn't show much....but I don't care cuz I know what's coming

# 77 return.specialist @ 09/01/12 12:05 AM

Could've told me that TFB capped dunks are in this, and i'da bought it. I knew it was Darlington's double-up in the earlier all-star video.

# 78 jersez @ 09/01/12 01:21 AM

Man us 2k fans are lucky, we could have zero info like the NBA live fans. It's September and there is little to no information on the game besides the launch details.

# 79 xSavageAssassinx @ 09/01/12 01:24 AM

Nice! You can easily look at A TFB dunk video on Youtube too see what dunks would be in the dunk contest next year

# 80 jreezy18 @ 09/01/12 01:28 AM

Maybe my eyes are deceiving me but I could've sworn I saw some sweat on the player models in that video. I haven't seen that since NBA 2K11.
