This is completely different than making the stands darker or lighter.

And NO. Not every arena is off.

I didn't buy NBA2k15 because they took out the halftime show with Damon Bruce's voice over (I understand why they did because of what Bruce said in real life; I still love his show, listen to it everyday); I bought NBA2k16 because they added back a halftime show, unfortunately, they should have also kept the technology used for the halftime show in NBA2k14 when scores and upcoming games around the league were mentioned. NBA2k16 still plays a solid game of virtual basketball and I'll get my NBA2k17 (along with NBA2k18 and NBA2k19 and NBA2k20) fix through youtube if 2k doesn't fix the halftime/end of game highlights on the PS4. I might switch over to the XBOX if it comes down to it (because the highlights work on the XBOX, not this year because Scorpio isn't getting released), but as of this minute, I'm keeping my $65. #Keeping my $65 until it's been fixed (even though I don't have twitter)

FYI, the halftime highlights work. The end of games dont for any game over 8 min quarters.

Also, the X1 highlights work but the trade off is for some reason the patches on X1 release weeks after Sony. I switched to X1 because of the highlights bug but switched back when it took a month after Sony release for the first big patch to drop.

I'm not even sure how we could tell just how "off" the lighting is unless you've physically been in that arena personally. I've been to three NBA arenas (Detroit, Indiana, Charlotte) and they all feel different but for LA or NY I honestly have no idea aside from what I see on TV which is filtered.

Closest thing I can think of is an unfiltered picture taken from court side at a similar angle. Even then it's hard to get a real good sound comparison.

The gameplay is amazing so don't let these things make you not want to get the game.

Haven't felt this much freedom with dribbling since

Offthread topic: But it seems as though PS4 halftime highlights don't work after multiple consecutive gaming sessions. I've had issues where they would simply show the stats break down without any halftime highlights. I would go XB1 but unfortunately I'm hesitant because the Scorpio isn't getting a release date this year. Had they never announced the Scorpio, I'd be gaming XB1 NBA2k17 this year come release date.

Plus, I could wait 2 months for XBOX patches. Fortunately, that aspect doesn't really concern me.

There's a fair few that are off.

MSG, Staples, TD Garden off the top of my head. Then there's a few others I remember looking a fair bit different to what we see on TV. The colours and reflection just doesn't come off like it does in a real broadcast.

I'm guessing you've bought all past iteration of games from franchises that you enjoy despite having complaints. The Warriors color were one of the concerns people had in past. I never had an issue with it despite me being a life long Warriors fan. I still bought past 2k games with incorrect Warriors colored. I never complained. People brought it up, I noticed. Still didn't matter to me because that part didn't concern me. The same goes with MLB the Show. If the concerns aren't addressed for future iterations, I'm skipping. More importantly, I actually found a baseball product that's superior.

I have a laundry list of little things I think 2K does wrong or not at all.

But I can name thousands of things they do very right.

When I want a perfect NBA experience, Ill load up my league pass. When I want a damn and realistic NBA video game sim, Ill load up 2K.

As I said, it's your loss and its pity you wont be posting your thoughts on the game seeing you're not purchasing it.

I remember that bug. I rarely play back to back games (married with a kid so i barely have the time for one). Plus I didnt mind restarting the game after each game.

Regarding the Xbox delay, it depends on what the patch was for. Before the first big patch, 2k15 had very few fouls called. It made it unplayable for me. The big patch fixed that and I hated having to shelve the game until the patch was released by MS.
