Kenny Smith Joins Shaq & Ernie Johnson in NBA 2K16 Pre-Game, Halftime, Post-Game Show

[Sinner]

Wow this is so nice, love it, and now with the news of who's replacing Kerr I'm really happy. Right now I would prefer 2k not get TNT or any other license, use that money for more resources toward the game, maybe even to get as many college teams as they can.

If they plan on upgrading that part of the game using 2k Sports logo would probably be better in the long run. If they had TNT for NBA we would expect them to have some sort of license logo for college, there aren't many college games on TNT except for tourney time so would probably have to get another license for that.

This way they can use 2kSports both NBA and college and get whatever commentators they want without spending the extra money on licenses.

Whatever they do though 2k has really put in work.

The pre-game intro is boring. I always skip it. If it wasn't for the loading time, i am sure most would have skipped it too. Unless they did something different this year....i don't see why i want to watch it. Now the Half time Post game show...i will watch them.

I'd actually like to do the layup line like CH2k8 used to do as well as hearing the analysis from the background, plus the intros or whatever different types of intros they have.

They have never outright said it wont happen but its clear from their comments that its not likely.

As I have said before, that's all well and dandy. I understand that there may be a reason why 2K hasn't gone full on TNT. That's fine. TNT might be unlikely as this is all news to me. But speaking to a dev (unless they specifically said no TNT in 2K16) doesn't change a thing. You didn't know, and neither did we until today. Plus 2K was being especially tight lipped about presentation. I remember after the "Yakkem" trailer dropped (earlier) last year and 2K immediately came out and said that there was no Inside the NBA or TNT. This year there was nothing, but we knew that a new commentator was coming. So it was not s stretch to suggest that MAYBE they were holding out for TNT and discuss that.

I have to be honest I've skipped every pre game intro since I got the game. It's a clever way to cover up the leading but I just want to play right away.

Now half time and post game I will definitely watch.

Man it is like 2K is my soulmate. Its like Man 2011 this is an insane year, they will never update the game like this again in 1 year, few years later, this is insane.

The stuff that these guys did year to year needs to be commended. They bring it. No other sports game, i don't care who, even the show, doesn't put this much effort into making the game. These guys are the apex predators of sports gaming.


whats funny, is next year, they could put in minimal work and clean it up and not get destroyed, because damn, you can't do this every year, but nah, they will bring it.

Its like watching a championship team, even if its not your team, you respect the work they put in, the effort it took, and you respect greatness.

GREAT WORK 2K!!!!
