It's good seeing multiple commentaries....now while you're playing my career..."hopefully" it won't get stale like last year....hearing them say the same thing game in and game out....wether it be during halftime...during or after games....

If I remember correctly, the commentary team you get is dependent on what region you are playing in.

Based on what i've been reading i'm pretty sure the commentator choice is based on the geographical location of the arena that the home team is playing at

EDIT: Well i'll be damned. Great minds

Such a Shame that my favorite video game of all time is not being made anymore............

Completely off topic but....can't help but dream what an NFL 2k would look like these days. I have actually enjoyed madden the past two years but there is one area I know 2K would be killing it and it would be signature styles for teams, coaches, and players. It'd be amazing for players to truly play like themselves in both animations and tendencies. Same goes for teams and coaches. Team specific plays and formations, true plays and tendencies for coaches. It would be a thing of beauty.

I'm speechless. This is so far beyond anything that has ever been attempted before in sports gaming.

You can nitpick things here and there, but I don't think anyone can say with a straight face that 2K isn't busting their *** to push the genre forward.

Only thing missing: Shaq and Kenny racing to the board. #RunThroughTheTape

Kevin Harlan is the best in the business. Love that guy.

I mean at some point audio will end up getting stale, even if they do something like madden and update audio throughout the season, but last year it got to a point where pregame, halftime, and post game became skippable and not even worth listening to. And then for commentary I got so tired of hearing the same lines game after game that I opted to put audio on the "on court" setting (I think that's the name) and just listen to background music with Spotify (a very handy feature on the ps4).

Hopefully this year will be less repetitive. Something that would help is less generic lines. So instead of something like "HE is one of the best players in the league" which can be a line that gets recycled for multiple players I'd like more specific comments like "Paul George has established himself as one of the best players in the league." That alone makes it feel like the commentators are actually calling the game being played and not just using generic lines that can be interchangeable from game to game.
