Wow, that looked and sounded awesome. Great sound, everything in sync, outfits changing. Seriously cannot believe how loaded this game is.

He's probably the reason 2k can't have TNT as they probably need the full cast to work out a contract, then again im not in business nor ever signed a contract soooo.

Looks awesome. Kennys facial movements look better than Shaq and Ernies. Minor quibble. Kenny looks awesome.

I rate Kenny.....I actually rate a lot of them. Reggie, C-Webb. I know a lot of people don't love Reggie from what I've read, I'm finding that when they announce whoever the 3rd guy is, there'll be a lot of unhappy people. From what I'm seeing, there are a lot of mixed opinions of everybody.

Side note: I am AMAZED that a 2K vid leaked...... they keep this s#!t classified like it's the FBI or something. Then suddenly a leaked vid...... !? It's a SET UP! There's a TNT bomb coming.....!!

Haha.....seriously though...... damn.

Actually what A.Holbert said about it costing a fortune and limiting their options (Doris/ESPN etc.) makes a lot of sense..... but the dream was nice while it lasted.....

Not a lot to complain about as a 2K fan that's for sure.

I also have this vague recollection about 2K's desire to develop the 2K brand itself, both in terms of the shelving situation (they've switched to only red covers over the past few years to establish continuity) and perhaps in terms of in-game content (so when people see the game, they can become familiar and know it's NBA 2K).

That said, I'd still prefer real-life television integration. NFL 2K5 may still be at the top of that mountain.

any chance of this being available for online? Last year we only saw Shaq and Ernie offline.

I doubt it. Most people that play online Head-to-Head aren't playing for the presentation experience.

After the travesty that is patch four 2k decided to come back and Ether all critics! They have been dropping bombs for a couple of weeks now.

# 109 Misterjibb @ 09/10/15 10:13 AM

Man, I'd be lying if I said this trailer didn't bring a tear to my left eye. I just skimmed thru it a little bit since I'm at work smh. Can't wait to actually hear it during my break.

They're coming out throwing punches this year. Setting the bar for what all games should be like, not even just basketball games.

I'm genuinely impressed by the effort of this team.

I can't even imagine what the install size will be for this game if 2kTV is sticking around as well.

Even the last 2 have been around 50GB right? Which is bigger than any other game I know of....haha. Crazy!

Thats not it at all. Sony's NBA game had the TNT license years ago without the whole cast.

2K is taking no prisoners this year, wow.

I'd prefer it but it really doesnt kill the immersion for me. It reminds me enough of TV (with the replays, camera angles and wipes) where I dont seem to care if it says 2k or ESPN or TNT. I'm very happy with the addition of Kenny though and the halftime and post game shows.

I didnt watch the video though. I know I'm buying the game so I'd rather until I play the game to see features like this.

# 116 TreyIM2 @ 09/10/15 10:30 AM

Wooooorrrd!! Just need Sir Charles to, uhh, round things out. Ha. Maybe in 2K17! At any rate, I'm amped for this game already. Haven't been this amped for a NBA 2K game since they went to analog dribbling.

# 117 Eat_hits @ 09/10/15 10:31 AM

This is what happenings when 2k has a full dev cycle I guess.

# 118 jayman504 @ 09/10/15 10:34 AM

IF they have Kenny Smith running to the "Replay wall" at half time with his signature run mannnnnnnnn!!! LOL..

Man, this looks freaking fantastic! The game has got it all... from presentation to gameplay to deep modes. This dev team is on fleek!

# 120 JKSportsGamer1984 @ 09/10/15 10:35 AM

2K is just on another level. They are the Floyd Mayweather of sports gaming. They continue to set the bar. All other games need to take notice (yes I'm talking to you Madden). All I have to say is thank you 2K. You guys are the reason I haven't given up on gaming.
