Check out the latest NBA 2K11 Developer Insight, featuring NBA Today 2.0 and new audio details.
Quote:
"Another area of expansion was the context we wanted to bring to our Leaderboards and Standings analysis, since it's such a big part of the NBA Today experience as well as in Association. The relevance of having your team in the top 5 in a certain stat category in November versus late in March has different implications, and we wanted to bring that perspective to our analysis. As we all know, those teams that can turn it up for the last half of the season have the momentum advantage, so we added a "Since All-Star Break" timeframe. You'll also hear contextual breakdowns across the "Last 10 Games" and "Over the Last Month", as well as the standard timeframes of "This Season" and "Last Season". Kevin Harlan and Clark Kellogg are able to provide a more granular and insightful perspective with this added level of detail. Throughout the year, you also will see a larger variety of teams and players being recognized on the leaderboards, when they turn it up a notch during various periods of the NBA season."
Man, good stuff. 2k seriously went all out this year, and it paid off. There's already a white flag on the other side of the field.
So... who's gonna be a punk in My Player just so they can hear the boos and chants?
we all threw a yellow flag at the other side..... and soccer gave them a a red card..... 2 techs and they are outta here, but really the audio in amazing!!!!!
Wal-Mart @ midnight! Oct. 5th. I don't think I can play 2K10 again after seeing that video and reading the insight. I can't wait to hear how the crowd reacts now. The dialog is outstanding. With all those arena specific sounds, I'm almost afraid to add my own custom music. But actually, I think I'm gonna start working on updating my playlists tomorrow. A lot of the music can stay from last year. Just gonna add some newer songs and delete some of the ones that weren't loud enough.
the ONLY thing that I want added in next year, is an intro movie (that is skipable of course) that all the teams have on their big screens and player introductions. That is all. Great insight by the way.
I know this has been something everyone in our PS3 community has been waiting to hear, and I'm happy to confirm that PS3 now supports Custom Music. NBA2K11 on PS3 has the latest version of the custom music system. This year of course, the addition of over 1000 arena-specific sounds combined with the ability to bring your own custom music into the game, makes a new level of customizability and authenticity possible.
Another reason why I will be buying this game on release
Not having this last year kind of made me just stay content with 2k9, but if I was already hyped for this game, this just put another nail in the coffin!
