How come you don't just use custom stadium sounds?

Anyway, for those of us who enjoy a TV style broadcast (AKA NBA 2k), this is somewhat exciting news. Pollack is the best guy ESPN has (and this is coming from a Gator fan), and hopefully it means we may finally be getting some kind of analysis that doesn't come from Herbie and Nessler.

If we didn't then this board would only be filled with people complaining about the DB Glitch and how EA hates us and doesn't listen to the consumers.

I'll take some "minds running wild" occasionally over that any day.

Baseball on ps3) don't do this when they're already saving the highlight reels after the games anyways..Guess it's a priories/time issue. Back on NFL 2K5 those highlights with Chris Berman felt like real life lol.

I like the halftime shows and studio updates, but would prefer they don't make models of the announcers. Just personal preferance, but I think their resources are better used elsewhere. And I usually find the 3d announcers a tad on the freaky side....even Berman in 2K5 despite the fact that I really liked that game, as thought halftime/weekly updates where awesome.

He doesn't even fit the Sideline Reporter Role ....... Plus they might add Jemele Hill, Shannon Spake, or Shelley Smith as the NEW side line reporter

My vote goes for him replacing Erin Andrews. Make sense in my opinion and new voice and fairly popular so why not?

I don't really like him as an on-air guy, but if it helps presentation I guess I'd be ok with it. Sometimes presentation, good or not, just gets in the way though so I agree with some people saying you should be able to turn overlays and stuff like that off. I have built a habit of playing sports games and watching something on my laptop or listening to music or a podcast or something and that doesn't bother me at all.

Right on, I was somewhat kidding, but I would assume someone else will fill that role.
