Man, this looks freaking fantastic! The game has got it all... from presentation to gameplay to deep modes. This dev team is on fleek!

2K is just on another level. They are the Floyd Mayweather of sports gaming. They continue to set the bar. All other games need to take notice (yes I'm talking to you Madden). All I have to say is thank you 2K. You guys are the reason I haven't given up on gaming.

To be honest, if it costs a ton of money to slap the TNT logo on there I'd rather they not do it. Let 2k put their money to the rest of the game. I don't give two ****s what the logo and scoreboard look like. . If its a trivial amount by all means for authenticities sake but in the grand scheme of things it's just a logo. 2k doesn't need it.

I never seen 2k make great improvements in every inch of the game like they have this year, that 2k17 wishlist is getting smaller and smaller with each announcement.

Unlikely. I would say that the people of OS are very... imaginative.

What about MyLeague Online?
I would agree head to head would be a waste, but league play... one can hope

I must say, while the halftime show, postgame show and inclusion of Kenny is a big step forward, the way the studio looks visually is a bit of a regression to me. It looks like these dudes are in some industrial warehouse...the color choice of nearly all black for that is odd as well.... the 2K15 studio color scheme looked better IMO. That might be hard on the eyes after a while...for me at least. I do however love the in-arena backdrop during the playoffs. Would be cool if they do that for the All-Star game as well.

I don't understand this fixation on adding the TNT license. News flash guys....This basically is TNT presentation just without the TNT brand! The only thing they're missing is Barkley. I myself would prefer they keep it like it is. No need to invest all that $ just to have the TNT logo on their presentation. Seems like a waste to me especially when they could use those resources for other aspects of the game. Also like Aholbert32 said, it actually benefits them NOT to have the TNT license because it doesn't restrict them from having people in the game who don't work for TNT. Like I said the already have TNT presentation just without the logo lol.

I always thought that it would be a waste of money and resources just to use a logo and whatever scoreboard TNT is using that year. Also it restricts 2k's ability to hire announcers. Doris Burke is an ESPN reporter and I doubt ESPN would let her be affiliated with a rival network in a video game. Same goes for Clark Kellogg. When ESPN was licensed, they only used ESPN announcers.

Not true... they had the great fictional voice actors in NFL2K5 (AND BEFORE).
