At the time of this build, none, to very little, of that was implemented in the game. You guys are looking at footage that is 1/4+ of a year away from shipping. We're not going to let you down; the level of yelling and excitement I hear from people playing around the office on a daily basis is more than I've heard in years. Top to bottom, this is easily the best game in the NBA 2k series. You don't have to take my word for it; you'll see for yourself in a couple months.

thank u very much i was getting pretty scared cause i dont want another 2k8 and another kenny smith and craig sager

Another thing worth mentioning is the fact that there are a lot of big men that can keep up with the guards. Look at Greg Oden's numbers.

because in regulation nba basketball they actually have 7 timeouts not six and im glad they finally fixed this i hope in the end of games there is a way to choose between a full and a 20 second t-o that'd be tight

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because they are the leader in Basketball, and this was likely an early build. But do you really think they would get Kellogg and Miller to record filler phrases? Don't be surprised if all we get is the same commentary with different voices. That's what seems to be the case here. The one redeeming factor: End of quarter highlights.

didnt you here simballer dont worry about the commentary miller kellog and harland will come in after the game is all ready so they can talk about all the updated rosters its still the of season you know trades can happen still

That and the fact that the video looked like a cheap $5 dollar bootleg movie kinda gives away this wasn't supposed to be seen by the general public.

You do realize, this means they are most likely still capturing commentary lines one at a time? That means incredibly choppy commentary will be awaiting us yet again. I don't understand how hard it is to simply scrap the script all together and have the two commentators watch a few 48 minute games being played through the game. That way it feels more natural. You can just substitute names and numbers where need be. It's just a little concerning that they still haven't been able to listen to our suggestions about how to capture NATURAL commentary, which is something that Live has been spanking the 2K series in for years now.

But hey, the game is still a few months from release. If I see footage of some REAL commentary in the game, I'll take back what I say. But I'm beginning to think they are using the same methods that they used before.

Hey guys im still pretty new to this forum, Who is SimBaller. Is he a 2K dev or does he just work for them. Based on a post from him i read it looks like it. I got kinda excited from him sayin the people in the office have been yelling and screaming while playing the game. Someone just make it clear to me who SimBaller is.
