Kenny "The Jet" Smith has joined Shaquille O'Neal and Ernie Johnson in the NBA 2K16 pre-game, halftime and post-game shows. Check out the video here and post your thoughts!
Regarding ticker... This reminds me, I haven't seen the ticker in action in any gameplay video whatsoever. Yes, I realize all current video shown could simply be exhibition matches, but there was one gameplay video that said something about the team losing (or winning) or something to the Mavericks the night before... Here's hoping for an in game ticker.
Unfortunately the ticker does not scroll during actual games being played; it's everywhere else though in MyLeague.
I do love this, but I almost wish they would do live action instead. There's really no need for them to be animated, because they look a little bit lower than the quality of the players so they seem a little out of place. Also their movements and mannerisms aren't captured that well. It's hard to capture that playful mood because the character models look really stiff. I'd love to see them do live action clips, or even just stick to mostly having them commentate over highlights, because their models are just a little creepy looking to me.
I love it though. Just need to get Charles next year.
Please no live action! I get where you're coming from and they do need to make them animate more naturally. But to me, there's a disconnect when real live footage is used in games. When I'm playing a game I want in game assets used for everything.
