Yes, cheerleaders and mascots are in this year, which is a good thing!

I want to clarify with pete that he looked in the correct area before ruling out signature highlights.

If they really arent in though:

Seems every year i have my fingers crossed they bring back the post game "game reel" highlight montage that last appeared in 2k11. Those were the best!!! Loved reliving the games i had just played through those. Shame they don't let these graphics shine with something like this (beyond just Jordan POG).

Here's an example of what I'm talking about...

I plan on making my own montages anyway I just hope that this doesn't take out the individual highlights feature in the post game stats menu

This analytic driven movement of feature removal is wrongheaded in my view. The analytics could just as easily mean it needs to be better-- or that people watch it early on which adds to their enjoyment of the authenticity of the product but page through it later when it gets repetitive.

I knew this was going to be bad when they mentioned that they were looking at usage for modes and features. It's why practice mode got axed last year. I never thought it would be one of their most central and best executed parts of their core game and presentation that would take the hit next.

Someone at 2K is playing Darrel Morey. No that's not a good thing. Heh.

Also you got Ernie and Shaq.

And you don't even have them do the ONE thing they actually do. Hooow? I don't even...

One thing I saw which I loved: replays on fouls even if it's not an and one! Finally!
Now, if they give us replays on dead ball situations instead of immediately after a highlight play I'll be absolutely thrilled! Maybe next year.
