NBA 2K14: It's Time to Revamp Presentation

[Sundown]

Oh, and can we please get the Players of the Week and Months right in NBA Today and quickplay, please? They should be synced to the NBA's selections, not just randomly picked except in the fantasy Assocation/MyGM/MyCareer modes.

I don't know if I'd say that. I found NFL 2K5 to be ahead of its time with Sportscenter, Chris Berman, and whatnot. The NBA game never went that deep, but they were slowly ramping up their ESPN usage until they lost the rights to EA. NBA 2K had official ESPN overlays, music, introductions, and talent (Kevin Frazier, Bill Walton, and Tom Tolbert all making appearances).

2k's commentary is great but every thing else is horrible. The statistic slides are very bad, they don't resemble anything you would see on TV. I'd really love to see real players photos in game instead of the 2k rendered ones.

I'm not sure if this goes under presentation. It could be "Sounds". There needs to be more reaction from the crowd on big time plays and buzzer-beaters. The crowd needs to be more into in playoff games and big season games with rivalries. It's one of the fhing NBA Live 10 did well and why I still play that game. Like on poster on here said, "Game 6 and 7s" don't feel any different from a normal game. Commentary does get stale.

And for the love of mankind, please do the team starting lineup intros with the PA announcer.

2K has the best commentary in sports games hands down. I only wish madden could be half, or even 1/4 as good . That presentation sucks.

Thank you! Who cares about presentation when you can't even get in a game online, or the lag is so horrible that the game is basically unplayable? I pray that either 2k fixes this mess or the consumers wise up and stop lining 2k's pockets until they produce a FULL game.

I agree...as playing MyCareer for the bucks i almost know what they are going to say but it does not bother me..2K getting a TNT intergation would really make the presentation really cool. Too bad EA already has the ESPN license..just my two cents

there's no reason the crowd should be dead silent when you're the home team and enjoying a 15pt lead towards the end of the game. DEAD SILENT.

also, that lower third scorebug is entirely way too big. i always let it slide because ps3 only displayed 720p, but that **** needs to go.

when i played the live demo, i was very envious of the menu graphics and the overall presentation. 2k needs to hire some real designers and not just let the 3d game designers handle it.
