I understand what timotim19 is saying and I agree that the Arena Music needs to return if they can do it right like in NFL 2K5. I miss the feature myself also. timotim19 is saying that music doesn't play throughout fully through a game. With Arena Music songs and sounds play at specific times for each action on court like in real life. Custom Soundtracks sucks for this since it cant realize when to pause and start throughout games being played meaning songs are played all the way through and never stops making it very unrealistic compared to watching a real game on TV or being at a game.

Man, I remember the days of gathering the Sports section of different newspapers just so I'd be up to date on my NBA Live '98 game!

Then came the downloading of rosters via official updates and fan-made rosters and then now, hourly roster updates!

Gotta love technology!

Seems to me you dont know the difference between custom soundtrack and arena music, even though I covered both in my original statement. Listen man, if your comfortable with making playlist of songs to play over the entire game - fine, i dont. If I want to feel let down by the fact that they may not have it then thats me.

I know what the difference is but what you're complaining about isn't a real issue when the nba2k series didn't have arena music implemented well and streaming music is exactly the same as having a custom soundtrack that you set in a game.

Yeah... you just proved my point. First, you keep talking about what was implemented in NBA2K5 when Im talking about 2K9. I never mentioned NBA2K5 at all and certainly not as an example of what I was hoping for with the feature... why you keep bringing that up I dont know. I talked about VC implementing custom soundtracks/arena music PERIOD, not the same as what was done in NBA2K5... if you need an example, I would give NFL2K5/NHL2K5 as to what Im looking for. I admitted it wasn't done very good at all in NBA2K5 but VC did handle the same feature in those other games as well so they obviously know how to implement it right. I think you need to go back and play the games mentioned above though because as far as custom soundtracks go, all of them did it right, even NBA2K5. What im looking for is for the tracks to ONLY play in the menus, once the game starts then the arena music kicks in... if you think thats the same as simply streaming a playlist over the entire experience then I dont know what to tell you. But, please stop mentioning NBA2K5 as if I gave that as an example... I dont care how good or bad it was back then, I want VC/2K to reimplement the feature PERIOD.

I play nfl2k5 all the time. I bring up nba2k5 because nba2k9 is an nba game and the last time the arena soundtrack stuff was in the nba game it was horrible.

The question is, when do the updates stop?

Also, is that legit because there were about 4 typos in it...hmm

[Pared]

Updates will most likely stop once the season (including playoffs) is over.

LOL when I said I would GLADLY eat crow, I meant GLADLY...dude, I love this feature...I just didnt think it was legit..

But I see a certain person is still refusing to do so!
