It makes as much sense as it does if you control a superstar(eg roleplay as) you know nothing about other than what you watch on t.v. or read about in Sports Illustrated.

This is a video basketball game and not a life-simulator. Part of basketball's immersion for us fans is the pomp and presentation of pre-game, half-time and post-game shows. If it is something expected in MyLeague or Quick-Game, presentation-wise, it should be expected in MyCareer.

Most everyone enjoyed the half-time shows of past years, so there is no reason it and the others would not be enjoyed now.

I knew that last years implementation of Shaq and Ernie would probably lead to this. It only made the most sense. I'm am surprised though that Kenny is now apart of the action, but then again I'm not because when Shaq and EJ were advertising 2k15 on opening night last year you could see it coming (btw 2k needs to step their cash game up for Chuck fareel)

I can't believe i am really reading this.

Everyone realizes it was Kenny before it was Clark right? It used to be Kevin and Kenny doing the game calls.

With that line of thought MyCareer should be played in first person camera with no commentary.

And how does it make sense for a game mode like MyGM? You're a general manager. You might be in the stands watching the game but you're not playing. And if you're watching the game in the stands you're not watching the half time show on tv. And what sort of coach would allow you to edit their playbook and distribute minutes? What sort of owner would allow the GM to move a team they don't even own any shares in? Where's the boardmeeting mini games?

There's realism and then there's realism.

You have to strike the balance between realistic and fun.

Nice.

Love the specific detail in the halftime show about GSW being up 15 at one point...

Nobody can sit here and say 2K didn't try their hardest to get that TNT/NBA TV license. They have basically everything else except the branding. I think they want it just as much as we do.
