Beluba new camera angle has you guys twisted... dont get fooled. Not hating but this article sucks

Pre-game presentation was mentioned though.

I am mildly disappointed that we didn't get any pre game, post game, playoff atmosphere... but the work they put into the cameras is looking Noiiiice.

Always been a broadcast cam'er, but the choice between broadcast stadium and Beluba might be a tough one.

If your mad, cool but no need for the "Beluba new camera angle has you guys twisted... dont get fooled.", its a game and it seems to be a good one. Would we like playoff atmosphere and better crowd noise? H#@! Yeah!!! But it is what it is.

Couldn't have said it better myself. A lot of us won't let things like that get to us and stop us from enjoying what looks to be a FANTASTIC game.

Some guys really get bent out of shape over a video game, a very good one at that. Just enjoy it, it's really not that hard.

They're having some marketing issues, plus their usual terrible performance. All of it just equaled a huge fail for what looks like to be a phenomenal game IMO. This game should be everywhere.

# 26 ronyell @ 09/28/11 02:26 PM

not to be one of the complainers BUT i am very dissappointed in the way we have recieved info this year & even more so with the info that we have still NOT recieved... i understand that it is a courtesy for them to give us that info at all but damn...

the facebook announcements were designed to get info out to the masses right? well why not give more info on the things that people truly want to know about & not the things that they will have to learn thru trial & error once the game is released... like custom music, association mode, CAP etc., etc

unless i missed something; this insight was a decent read but otherwise was info that could have been drastically shortened & added into another more thurough insight

# 27 RevCB25 @ 09/28/11 02:28 PM

I remember reading somewhere that 2k can't advertise with NBA players because of the lockout, players can't be associated with an NBA game. Thats why the marketing of the game has not been up to par this year

# 28 greenegt @ 09/28/11 02:36 PM

Big fan of the broadcast stadium and beluba cam additions. Can't wait to try them out.

# 29 Dwadefan @ 09/28/11 02:40 PM

Wish the hot cold chart was in regular games too

but other than that everything sounds amazing I cant wait!

# 30 djsider2 @ 09/28/11 02:43 PM

anyone else wishing that they just used a video to show this new CAM instead of... words and pictures? I'm pretty sure taking a gameplay video would of been faster than trying to explain it.

This. We should understand it's not the typical year. I'm sure there are challenges to promoting a game for a sport that may not even have a season; where they won't have access to the normal resources. I'd think it'd be a challenge for any marketing team, let alone one that isn't known for their marketing prowess to begin with.

Then making it worse is a portion of the community that seems to need every.little.thing. explained ad nauseum or they'll assume the worst, despite the obvious huge development effort 2K has put into the game. Regarding playoff atmosphere, I seem to recall seeing screens and reading that there will be differences to the way crowds/commentary is done during the playoffs but can't say for sure. Perhaps can ask the question of someone that already has the game, as it's likely someone who has had the game for two and a half days to have taken the time to sim ahead to the championship.

Either way, thought the insight was informative/nicely written. Looking forward to the unique stadium views; Beluba-cam sounds interesting. It was interesting to hear the writer say the montage that plays before games doesn't occur every game; in the demo I haven't gotten tired of it yet. They did a fantastic job syncing music/gameplay/emotion and reaction cuts together

# 32 STLRams @ 09/28/11 02:59 PM

I will be trying the Beluba camera angle. Nice insight but I thought they would go more indepth about the additions to the pre game/halftime show/ and end of game show stuff that has been added or updated in NBA Today games, quick games, association, etc.

# 34 wrestlinggod1 @ 09/28/11 03:11 PM

Still no Miami Heat Burnie mascot?

# 35 Pete1210 @ 09/28/11 03:14 PM

Different stadium cameras for watching game is OK, but for playing I think Id prefer a camera that's the same in each stadium.

This has more excited:

you call this presentation? wheres the kardashians or basketball wives in the crowd? lol jk they really have some great stuff going on here now its no use to buy the game on pc for me, the game can be updated and modded like the pc, but 2k is doing the modding (and thats the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth and its AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!) kinda makes up for possibly no crew mode imo

Didn't you have to say that to someone else last week

# 38 rjohns23 @ 09/28/11 03:42 PM

Based on the insight, the only hint that they gave that was added to the association was enhanced/detail stats

Stadium specific cameras is a pretty big deal to me. I would have liked to know if we can use the era specific cams with current teams(ex: current bulls vs. current sixers with 90's presentation, etc.)

# 40 WTF @ 09/28/11 04:05 PM

I wondered the exact same thing Ninja...
