The problem is they ONLY get hyped in the 4th

It doesn't sound like it....they probably just worked on crowd logic and reactions but kept the same sounds.

You have way more control than I do!

At what point during the video is the site down interview with LeBron?

I forget where he said it in this video (UPDATE: from 5:40 - 6:45), but one Rob Jones comment stuck out to me when he talked about the CPU making smarter adjustments and how that mixes with game balance.

He was talking about how smarter defensive AI adjustments take things away from the offensive player, but create opportunities elsewhere, so successful players have to be smart and versatile in their attack, and how this feeds balance.

The he said something interesting, He contrasted this with previous years where he said they didn't have this capacity so to keep game balance they just made the game a little harder, and how this for a user/player is not fun.

I've never heard 2k say it that openly in that way before.

The way they made the game harder was mostly through the momentum system, how last year it became painfully obvious that momentum would swing and suddenly as a player/user you're losing dice rolls under the hood - sometimes so improbably that the animations to support those dice roll losses broke physics badly and led to absurd gameplay visual outcomes.

This is what I believe was behind all that stuff about comeback codes and whatnot. While Beluba was clear there was no comeback logic in the game, he was also clear that momentum happens, and the momentum logic probably created an artificial ebb and flow to user success probabilities that created game balance in a way that covered up holes in the game.

So this will be interesting to see how momentum is implemented this year, now that balance is achieved in another, more true to basketball way, with CPU AI and adjustments.

Will it be as pronounced this year? Less pronounced? Will we as players feel more like, if we get beat, we get beat by great players or teams playing well, or will we feel we get beat by the game doing some under the hood voodoo to nerf us?

I'll be curious to see.

Shakedown noted this in the OKC v. NO posted video of the crowd getting into the action with feet stomps and claps and you visually seem them getting into it as well.
