NBA 2K17 Arena Authenticity Trailer

[SteveQ]

I tweeted Ronnie and LD but I know they don't work on that part of the game. Idk the twitters of Czar and other devs. Just hopefully they can talk to a dev about the courts and other things. They almost got things where they need to be. Besides the courts I liked the trailer

Would I love to see that reaction in that or similar situations? Hell yeah. But every or even most of the time no. I've seen that play happen live tons of times and the reaction all depends on the situation. In the first quarter of a December game in Washington, the crowd is cheering but not standing or exploding. The Demar sound is what I want to hear nine times out of ten. The problem last year was that the Demar sound wouldnt even happen at times. Thats my issue with Live. The sound is great but the crowd is at 9 or 10 during most of the game. I've been to and watched thousands of NBA games and the crowd really doesnt explode unless a big play happens in the fourth or a hyped up game (Cavs-GSW for example). They dont chant defense that loudly in the first half. There has to be a balance and more of a focus on when the exciting play happened.

This is where I'm at. An NBA atmosphere just really isn't that great during the majority of the regular season.

Just tweet them and ask them to fix it. That's it. Saying how horrible the trailer is and bashing 2k cause they overlooked the Bucks court again is ridiculous. They put out a TON of content across the board for just one year.

Come on now...

****, even playoff games. Most playoff games (except for game 1s and elimination games) are loud during the first quarter and the 4th. The second and the third are typically your standard NBA atmosphere.

It's been a while for me... Wolves fan here.

But yeah I think at it's peak, the atmosphere of an NBA arena is better than any sport imo. It just doesn't get there all that often. That's not a reason why the NBA is my favorite league.

Atmosphere of college basketball and football are better than NBA imo. NBA arenas are pretty quiet except 1st & 4th quarters tbh.

College is its own beast, but this is true. I guess I was comparing to other pro sports leagues.

Considering that it wasn't featured in this trailer, I'm assuming they are backing off promoting arena specific lighting.... I mean it's pretty obvious that Philadelphia, as well as the other 26 crowds in 2k17 are incorrectly in the dark as if they are all MSG, Barclays or Lakers Staples, while those 3 aren't dark enough. I'm not even mentioning court colors.

Quite simply, I'd give the audio team an A+, because really it seems thats the aspect that was captured, not lighting. We can't really judge the crowd reactions though until we get the game in our hands. But that's more of an issue of them being triggered correctly, not whether they were recorded.
