NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #11 - Audio

[doublek]

I wonder if they have player-specific comments for Steve Kerr the player in Jordan's Bulls for Steve Kerr the commentator to talk about.

First patch will be Metta World Peace, I don't think they got the former Artest name in the game lol. I liked what I heard but the patching sounds great

I wouldnt overly expect things from them but if they get all the real basketball sounds right, that's half the battle

The game looks more alive so hopefully these sounds take it to the next level

Sound can make or break a movie, so why cant it enhance a game? It can

[convince]

I'm already a little disappointed. Maybe I'm wrong but its seems like more people play the association than NBA Today. Last year in the audio insight, they introduced the "Full" Halftime show that included a "look around the association". Some of believe that it made perfect sense to be apart of the Association, only to find out later that it was only for the NBA today 2.0. Now they are introducing the weekly and monthly awards doing some of the Halftime segments, and from the wording, it seems this as well will not be in the association but just apart of NBA Today 3.0. Leaving things like this out of the Association mode is really disappointing. I still have getting the game but I hope I'm wrong about this when they finally release an Association insight that expands on some of the things they mention in this insight.

I am impressed with what I have read so far. Audio has a profound effect on the atmosphere of a game. I can't wait to hear more arena specific sounds. They are really blurring the lines in the realism of their game! I really really hope they can get Harlans phrases in the game! That adds to the emotion of the game. I am playing my friend in a head to head match-up and I come down the court with jamal Crawford and shoots a 3 in the defenders eye. He puts his hands up for the 3 and we here Harlan say... RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES!!!

Well, 2k's definition of audio is not audio that comes from the crowd....i can already tell theres been ZERO upgrade to the crowd...good job 2k.

The way the insight was going i thought there was going to be just a crowd audio file that might have distinguished regular season from playoffs, and maybe some arena's decimals being louder then others.
