Same here.

Honestly, I don't know how anyone could keep up with everything 2K added this year. It's crazy. But I would assume that the ticker will be shown during actual games. That's where most people will spend their time. Plus with it, franchise types like myself wouldn't need to scroll through the news tabs and stuff to see what's going on in the league. Maybe someone in the know could weigh in...

Nate Robinson did a guest broadcast a while back for TNT. I really hope they fire chuck and hire Nate. He was much better as an analyst.

We've been over this already...People want Chuck as a commentator because they think that hey Chuck's now in the game as a commentator now we can get the '92-'93 Suns team and whatever classic teams he was on, in the game as classic teams. It has nothing to do with his broadcast skills.

You have star players getting hurt that change the landscape of a league. You have players demanding trades and/or getting traded. You have general league news. You have game results. You have upcoming key games. I don’t think we have ever done a tremendous job of presenting this type of information in a medium that is easy for you to consume. Enter the Ticker. The Ticker is exactly what it sounds like. Let me start off by saying that you aren’t going to appreciate this feature until you have the game in your hands and have spent some time with it. We have carved out a space on every single screen in the modes, where we will present you with a continuously scrolling ticker containing the latest news from around the league. You’ll certainly see last night’s scores and who the leading scorers were for each team. You’ll see tonight’s matchups. You’ll see the latest news headlines. Later in the season, you’ll start to see all-star weekend content, and eventually draft previews and big boards. If you are IN THE DRAFT, you will see real-time updates of the pick order and who each team has picked. 2K has lost their freaking minds this year!!

If I'm not mistaken, they had a ticker in 2k10. I believe. I remember it causing serious lag (PS3) offline where I had to disable it. It was cool but the lag was too much. Hope there are no issues with it this time.

I missed that too. Can't wait to see that.

People are saying there will be a ticker at the bottom of the screen?
