It's clearly a design decision they're comfortable with and it won't change until enough people complain about it. But, I guess most people feel there are bigger fish to fry for now...

Just last year at this time most were viewing the interruptible commentary as revolutionary in terms of how it flowed with the action occurring in the game. I think it doesn't get the credit it deserves and adds immensely to the liveliness of feeling like it's a real telecast. Perhaps they could tweak it/tone down the reactions some at times, but I feel it's extremely well done and something to marvel at from a technology standpoint

You mean to tell me that if he didn't get the coaching job he would have replaced Clark Kellogg?

I thought it was cool he came back but not anymore.

You serious? Is there a link? Damn I love Doug Collins!! He really knows the ins-and-outs of basketball.

# 344 aloncho11 @ 08/19/10 02:25 AM

He is a great guy with great basketball knowledge..."a player's coach" as people say.

why is Caron Butler lookin as dark as Luol Deng? I don't get that.. he's way lighter than that in real life.

It's a good feature except for the fact that it makes it seem as though they have A.D.H.D. when they don't go back to what they were talking about.

Butler was too dark in 2k10 too. Like I said in another thread Caron Butler and CJ Miles should switch skin.

# 349 Dazraz @ 08/19/10 04:13 AM

Looks awesome. Any gameplay issues can normally be resolved with slider adjustment so no have no worries there. This game will be special.

# 350 SeerMagicX @ 08/19/10 06:54 AM

I'm confused as to why 2k would have nba 2k8 on the floor playable. atleast they updated the rosters it seems.

# 351 T3AMGEIST @ 08/19/10 08:33 AM

Will this game be playable for the public at gamescom? Got the chance to visit the gc but thought that 2k sport wont show nba 2k there!

i believe so....unless DaWolf works for some gaming website...better head back there T3AM and get some 10 minute vids!!

Honestly, my thought on the video was that it looked great. The pause menu was intriguing and i'd like to see what the rest of the menu interface looks like. Asterisks about slider & difficulty aside, it looked really slick. That said, the things that made me dump 2k10 after a couple of days (control, shooting, general feel) can't be judged from a video. Looking forward to a non-bare-bones demo from 2k next month.

# 354 RoyalBoyle78 @ 08/19/10 10:19 AM

Looks like Sherill Miller is gone.

# 355 Da-Man @ 08/19/10 10:31 AM

The game looks like crap and so does live 11.
Looks like im stuck with going outside and playing real basketball till 2k12.

That's not acceptable gameplay to me so I hope the 'sim' sliders address plays like that. I don't understand why the program the game to make attempting steals the foundation of defense. That looks exactly like 2k10 when someone knocks the ball out of your hand it almost always goes back to the defense for some unknown reason. They've got to make that more of a 50/50 type of thing if they can't get it right visually. On top of all that irregardless of casual or sim sliders steals look to be still cannimated. Brendon Haywood's steal attempt gives him a magical speed boost allowing him to catch up to Wade, even to the point of almost getting in front of him. 2k/VC has got to completely get rid of these cannimations because it's hurting the gameplay.

This was in my ultimate sim wishlist as well:

-Get rid of all steal animations that make you lose control of your player. Steal button should simply be trying to swipe/deflect the ball. All these crazy animations are effective because they slow down the offensive player and fouls aren�t called enough.

Another thing someone mentioned at the 2K forums is bigs trying to reach in the post instead of contesting the shot. Dirk at 1:23. In real life they would put both arms straight up.

Again this is in default mode so we don't know what happens in Simulation mode.

I think it's the best commentary you'll find in a game. It could use some balance. Where you have the female reporter giving her information, I don't see them interrupting her for a big play. That big play interruption can get too familiar. The commentary can be chatty, but it's still very well done.

That's a good thing to do, regardless the quality of video games.

# 359 zyvo23 @ 08/19/10 11:46 AM

Unfortunately, I'm with Da-Man. It looked terrible to me. With Jordan in the game, I thought this would be a done deal. But that video looked very shaky imo.

Hopefully there will be more encouraging signs as we get closer to the release date.

jeez where are you guys coming from? i know theres 43 pages to wade through but its been confirmed by Beluba and The Czar that this was a bad clip and in no means how the final product is going to look and play like....
