NBA 2K17 Arena Authenticity Trailer

[NINJAK2]

Some of the responses in this thread provide a reason for why some 2k devs might use the phrase "why bother?" in regards to all the work 2k did in this area..lol

call me cynical, but it seems like an incredible waste of time and money to fly out to these different arenas, when they can just watch a couple of HD games. I don't understand how they have time and money for that, but player models look anorexic and a lot of uniforms looks waay off. Good on them for trying, but seems a bit excessive.

I disagree...they needed to go to those arenas and capture all of the atmosphere.

The crowd, a real one, the sounds of the game, buzzers, Arena chants, defensive chants, chant music...they need ALL of that.

Art and sound are not the same thing.

I'll keep my opinion until I can hear for myself but this thread is trash, except for a few guys here trying to keep the conversation civil, it went by the wayside within 2 pages.

Man, NBA Live 15's crowd sounds were waaay better. They actually sound like the authentic crowds you hear through an actual broadcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=O-rTQgzHNqU

2k17's crowd sounds sound like 2k16 but with EQ on it to sound different.

As an audio engineer, i was REALLY excited to hear that they'd gone to every stadium and recorded their crowds, but it doesn't like they have actually done that, judging from the trailer.

I'll reserve judgement until i experience the game for myself, but for now i'm skeptical.

Yeah, not like they don't get paid for doing this..............

If they can't handle criticism, they're in the wrong industry.

Okay, now I'm VERY confident crowds won't suck this year.

Didnt like 16 but This + freestyle dribbling + no auto fouls on inside bs and I think I'm willing to put $60 down no question! Whoo!

They can handle it. They welcome genuine and constructively expressed criticism.

Wait why are people negative about this? Like how is it a BAD thing?
