Really? 2k has playoff specific commentary and story tracking? Dynamic crowds that boo opposing teams star players or boo a player that injured one of their players? Whiteouts, glass bangers, towel wavers? Fan appropiate reactions on goals? Meaning when the home team gets scored on the crowd won't cheer like they do in 2k9? Sure 2k10's arena's look fantabulous but presentation to me is a whole hell of a lot more than how the arena's look.

This to me can get pretty old. Do they really do that in real life? I know everyone boo Chris P, but do the other guys get boo for injuring a player. Maybe in the Playoff. I just have not seen it happen though.

For hurting someone? Or just for being a beast! I disagree about presentation that is where EA can't hold a candle to EA's in my opinion. Go score a goal in 2k9 and go score a goal in 09 and be honest and tell me which one has more of an alive vibe to it.

Fixed for ya Scott. I do agree that the crowds will most likely be better in EA, but I think the overall Presentation 2K will have the edge. Too much of EA's will be just like last years, including the intermissions and post game.

For being a star player on the visiting team. Thats just what fans do.

This is all fine and good from an overall standpoint but I'm talking about broadcast presentation features in my original post. Guess I should've clarified that. There's no doubt the atmosphere in 10 is top-notch. They just need some major improvements to the amount of repeated cutscenes, bare-bones replays and banners and an overall lack of a broadcast feel apart from the commentary.

FIFA - par excellence, none better, absolutely sensational.
The Show - Top notch.
NHL 08 - Excellent
Tiger Woods 08 PC - Terrific
NFL 2K5 - Classic

Those are the sports games I play. All have great all-round audio. So no, I'm never disappointed, except when I watch and listen to these NHL 2K10 videos.
