NBA 2K14: It's Time to Revamp Presentation

[mwolchock]

I wish they would bring back player intros like they did back in the ESPN NBA 2k Days

I'd rather that they get the TNT license over ESPN....

I'd love to see a more realistic replay system. I'm not so much of a fan of action replays sponsored by Nike that occur in the heat of the game. It'd be nice to see replays pushed to breaks in the action.

I've also been talking about this for years, but I'd like to see better buzzer beater/game-winner presentation. I've seen hints that the moment a game-winner is hit on next gen, there's an immediate camera wipe, a short cut scene and possibly not an opportunity to replay what'd just occurred. I wrote a detailed post of what I'd like to see out of end-of-game buzzer beaters here: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-shot-yet.html

And as mentioned by buddywalker earlier in the thread, I really would like to see all the post-game wrap-up things cleaned up. It seemed there was a time around 2K9-2K11 where we had a really sharp post-game, featuring Top 3 Plays, clean custom player highlights, a photo album, and access to ReelMaker to remember our best plays as we saw fit. But slowly, things started glitching out a little bit (or removed altogether). Now the post-game presentation still exists, but almost as an afterthought.

Altogether, 2K's presentation can be a tough topic to broach, simply because they have done a fine job with their presentation in comparison to their competition over the years. That said, it's not perfect. So additional suggestions aren't necessarily condemnations, as much as they just... ideas for betterment.

2k9 actually did game winner presentation well...they would acknowledge and replay it, and even replay it before overtime if it was a game tier...the actual celebration wasnt great, but I loved the presentation..made the moment seem big..

as a matter of fact 2k9's cuts to replays were pretty awesome overall..

I would be interested to see statistics on how often players view replays, halftime reports, pre-game intros, etc. I heard somewhere that EA has data hooks in Live's halftime reports so they can measure how many players just click through and how many watch the halftime show (and for how long).

Well 2k has a dedicated signature highlights guy here....I hope they dont do away with them and I am still upset they dont work in next gen
