There's a lot of truth there. I think it's worth treating as a building block if nothing else though. I like encouraging 2K to continue adding realistic details like this. Perhaps they had fear that they wouldn't be able to add it in the manner with which they wanted in the past. At least now, they've got it out there, it exists, and hopefully it's now in position to be tweaked and perfected in the future.

Still, as a whole, I'm always wondering about 2K's audio. With how far in-game graphics have come over the past decade, sometimes it feels like the audio is lagging far behind by comparison.

Not only do you never see that at NBA games, but they're always behind the backboards, not along the sidelines. The crowd should get much louder when Lebron is announced, or for the biggest star on any team. Shouldn't there be a spotlight on the player being announced? I know this is nitpicking, but it's little details like this that get overlooked all the time by 2K. Things that should not be that hard to realize, and get worked out.

Yeah, seems like a spotlight (even a simple projected light texture) and increased crowd noise for stars would be rather easy to implement and would really sell the illusion.

That has never been confirmed. Rumored but not confirmed.

That was really nice but I would've liked if the arena was darker and the light was focused on the players, the fire thing that appears after a player is announced and a higher ovation for fan favourites or star players.

It's relative. Maybe the crowd is just starting too loud and there isn't much of a difference when the star is announced. That's my take.

You havent attended a ton of NBA games have you? If its not the playoffs, its rare to see a significant amount of fans standing during intros. I've been to the Garden, Verizon Center, Staples, OKC and Boston and OKC was the only place that happened.

Yep. Definitely should be darker.

That don't look like Dion at all.

Everything else is great. I love it.
