NBA 2K15 Livestream Starting Now - Bulls vs. Lakers

[ProfessaPackMan]

Would I like for 2K to have a Halftime Show? Sure, why not?

Am I losing sleep or "OMG THIS HORRIBLE!!!!!!" because it's not in there? Not at all. There would be times where I watch it every now and then but more times than not, I'd skip right through it. Halftime Shows are always going to be repetitive for the fact that they'll be repeating the same lines to you time after time since they can update it every night. Sure, we might see a few different highlights/moments but for the most part, it'd be the same until next year.

But to consider cancelling a game because there's no halftime show? Yeah, that's an overreaction if I ever saw one, lol.

That's it. You figured them out. Outstanding. And all this time, I thought they did it for realistic reasons. I am the Dumbs.

Eh I loved the halftime show always watched it. But 2K14 was so bare bones and with no custom soundtrack it took a step back for me. If we get a pregame and postgame show then I'm fine. You can see they are gearing up for the halftime show that we want. Kenny Smith and Chuck would be great for that as the player pic flashing on the screen in very TNT like. So the groundwork is being set for a better presentation for all the show aspects of the game. I'm satisfied considering how much of a leap this game has taken from 2K14.

SN: Thibs must have gotten on that LeBron diet after Fiba lol. But seriously everything has improved and if the halftime show is next year then so be it.

I have to agree with this way of thinking, it will be an adjustment this year but if we end up with a TNT style presentation in the future then im all in for the addition by subtraction method.

Overreactions are the norm on the interwebs man. It's just funny, isn't it. Then the conspiracy theories follow immediately after. I think it's hilarious. But I completely agree with you. I watch them sometimes, but the LARGE majority of the time, I skip them after seeing them a few times.

The lack of a halftime show is not gonna make me not get the game, it is not that big of a deal it just caught me off guard. I wish it was there but it is what it is. Hopefully they can flesh it out more as others have said and make it something that the users don't want to skip in the future.

Or, side pick and rolls where the ball handler is dribbling with the left hand and wants to attack with his right (strong hand) to the middle of the floor. Really, if they are doing any "simple" PnR programming it should be just that picks are designed to get the ball handler to the middle. That's the simplest way to do it.

I think rather than just always setting it to go toward the middle, the screen should be set on whatever side has the most room to work with, until they find a way to let us choose, of course. If I'm isolating on the wing, I may want the screen set toward the baseline if I have a teammate at the top of the key, because there would be more room to operate over there, and more room for my teammates to get open.

I'm more excited about the pregame to be honest, that always seemed barebones to me.

This thread was bound to take that turn though, even with all the great and intelligent people on here, there are some that feel the need to nitpick every little detail and complain about everything.

This game has me counting down the days like a space shuttle launch. 6...5...4...
