NBA 2K15 to Feature Voice Acting From Many NBA Players in MyCAREER Mode

Agreed. I struggle to believe it is possible to yield enough dialogue from each player to make it sound realistic in MyPlayer mode (especially with the aforementioned corny scripts). It seems like a losing battle.

However, if they used voice capture for the little things, like what you mentioned, I think that'd be a wonderful "Little Things" touch.

Hearing Chris Paul's voice settling the offense by yelling, "Hey! Hey! Hey! Two!" = Realistic & welcomed addition.

Seeing Dante Exum alone on a basketball court with my player saying something like, "Hey man, I see you trending on the internet Twitter feed lately. That's pretty neat. Now I want to show you how we play ball Aussie style. After you watch me make a dunk shot, maybe you can have my signature skill" = Kinda embarrassing.

Hopefully they're aiming for a happy medium there.

I think the line would be more like, "Hey man, I see you trending on the Social Media feed lately." They never used specific names like Twitter or Facebook, which really made it sound even worse.

Personally, I'm not too big on the cutscenes the way they were implemented in 2k14. There is potential, but they need to make it more realistic. The ones where your teammate asks you to go to the practice gym, or watch game film, were fine. In fact, I would like to see that happen more often, and be the primary way of increasing attributes over VC. But telling me to wear a clown nose or carry his bags? No thanks. Especially when the guy telling me to do that is a bench warmer who gets less than 5 minutes per game.

If they fix player voices, they better fix those rim sounds. 90% of them are horrible.

Some real Negative Nancies in here.

I like the idea of real player voices and hope they are able to implement them in a non cringe-worthy manner. I liked the concept of MyCareer and hope they can raise the bar with it.

I sincerely doubt that they all had a meeting and decided the only thing they wanted to do to improve 2K was add player voices

Ugh, the unskippable "conversations" were the worst part of the game and I stopped playing my player since it was driving me crazy.

I'm all for voice acting, but please have it attached to a somewhat realistic, believable story that doesn't try too hard and go all B-movie fantasy basketball on us. I don't wanna be making bets with Thaddeus Young (or anyone else) before a game at halfcourt.

Cool but there's a lot of other stuff that needs to be addressed..
