NBA Developer Insights: NBA 2K10 Audio

[Pratt75]

If custom audio is left out of the PS3 version your getting a big FU from a longtime 2K supporter who has purchased every 2K game from the original 2K bball game on dreamcast. I haven't posted here for a very long time but when I read "on the 360" I felt kind of angry and had to voice my frustration. Hopefully they are aware of the negative pub this is creating .

It's hilarious that as far as everyone knew it wasn't in the game at all until yesterday but now people want to talk about not buying the game because of it.

I know for a fact this sort of thing is possible, but it must be very difficult to implement. Knowing the developers of these games, if they could have, they would have.

this bites.
i mean Tiger gets the shaft on ps3 even though they can fit WAY more data, i.e. courses, on the disc, but the devs said they cant make a lesser game on the 360,that they like to keep them even , then theres this junk..

I wouldnt be as mad if the whole in game soundtrack wasnt rap.

I think you guys are blowing this way out of proportion. To not buy the game just because it doesn't support custom audio? I think that's absurd.

I understand if you were deciding whether to buy it for the 360 or the PS3, and that fact let you decide to get it for the 360, that makes sense.

But to say that ruins the total experience for you? That doesn't make sense to me.

The soundtrack isn't even close to being all rap.

They have a right to feel that way. It's their money.

Publishers shouldn't be doing things on one platform if they can't do it on the other, especially when they CAN do it. Defeats the purpose of a multi-platform game. And I'm referring to PS3/X360 here.

I think they should make it a mandate to make things equal. The consumers of one console shouldn't get "screwed." EA has done this with online play as well.

They should both be held accountable.

I understand the merit is there to include it at all... but it just shows that these companies don't take both platforms as seriously. And that's discomforting as a consumer.

Part of the reason why I have both consoles and play them equally. Saves me this sort of headache. But I know not everyone can do that.

lol, exactly, Im a 360 owner and personally if it was on the other foot, I could care less if they took it out of the 360, it's not that big of deal to me personally. Custom music is not a make or break issue.
