not to be one of the complainers BUT i am very dissappointed in the way we have recieved info this year & even more so with the info that we have still NOT recieved... i understand that it is a courtesy for them to give us that info at all but damn...

the facebook announcements were designed to get info out to the masses right? well why not give more info on the things that people truly want to know about & not the things that they will have to learn trial & error once the game is released... like custom music, association mode, CAP etc., etc

unless i missed something; this insight was adecent read but otherwise was info that could have been drastically shortened & added into another more thurough insight

Big fan of the broadcast stadium and beluba cam additions. Can't wait to try them out.

Wish the hot cold chart was in regular games too but other than that everything sounds amazing I cant wait!

anyone else wishing that they just used a video to show this new CAM instead of... words and pictures? I'm pretty sure taking a gameplay video would of been faster than trying to explain it.

This. We should understand it's not the typical year. I'm sure there are challenges to promoting a game for a sport that may not even have a season; where they won't have access to the normal resources. I'd think it'd be a challenge for any marketing team, let alone one that isn't known for their marketing prowess to begin with.

Then making it worse is a portion of the community that seems to need every.little.thing. explained ad nauseum or they'll assume the worst, despite the obvious huge development effort 2K has put into the game. Regarding playoff atmosphere, I seem to recall seeing screens and reading that there will be differences to the way crowds/commentary is done during the playoffs but can't say for sure. Perhaps can ask the question of someone that already has the game, as it's likely someone who has had the game for two and a half days to have taken the time to sim ahead to the championship.

Either way, thought the insight was informative/nicely written. Looking forward to the unique stadium views; Beluba-cam sounds interesting. It was interesting to hear the writer say the montage that plays before games doesn't occur every game; in the demo I haven't gotten tired of it yet. They did a fantastic job syncing music/gameplay/emotion and reaction cuts together

I will be trying the Beluba camera angle. Nice insight but I thought they would go more indepth about the additions to the pre game/halftime show/ and end of game show stuff that has been added or updated in NBA Today games, quick games, association, etc.
