So someone is suppose to still support a product that doesn't offer has desired feature, regardless of what that particular feature is? That's called being smart; not about looking for reasons to complain. I didn't "lose" much when I skipped 2k15; I actually saved $65.

There's a 28 page thread on it:

This trailer didn't get me as hyped as I expected. Either I expected more out of the Arena Authenticity or this trailer just didn't show off the things I expected.

I am/was most looking forward to authentic crowds. Hopefully there is more variety than what was shown in this trailer. I'm a Celtics fan, been to plenty of games over the past 10 years or so, and I know how passionate the fans are. Perfectly exemplified this past playoffs when the crowd was going crazy in game 6 while the C's were still down double digits. My big thing is that I want the crowd to sound real and live and not generic. This shouldn't be an issue if the crowds were truly recorded in arenas but if they weren't it will be very noticeable. As a C's fan I'd love to hear the passionate "Let's go Celtics!" sounding authentic in the game.

Real talk. I prefer the lightning of NBA 2K17, because otherwise it looks like so dark. I don't want to play a game where I can vividly only see the first five rows of the crowd.

yeah they have their real life sounds.

Arena lighting is a huge problem in 2k games.
Staples Center, Madison Square Garden never had that "teatrical" lighting (most of the lights focusing the court and only a few the stands).
For what i saw, NBA 2K17 is not the exception.
They lie to us when they say that courts will have Arena specific lighting

There's thousands of things in the game, a few that aren't or don't work well. You can choose not to buy, but you're costing yourself playing a very good basketball sim.

But if you just want to whinge about a relatively minor issue, whinge away.

You are definitely one of the people who just look for a reason to complain.

The lighting looked ok to me.

A problem with these pics is the real life one is facing towards the court from the stands and the 2K ones are facing away from the court. Of course the one taken in darkness will appear darker.

i honestly cant tell you, i dont pay that much attention to all that stuff tbh.

That Blazers swish.....I've heard that plenty of times and it sounds perfect.

Semantics but regardless...

I hope they fix the colors and skin tones on your team to your liking this year...

Damn this is the most reasonable post I've ever seen on OS

Every arena isnt off. Just a few. A few of the more important ones though. If they got the lighting in Utah wrong, no one here would be saying a damn thing.

Not really, I just choose to spend money on products that meet my expectations. You don't, and that's perfectly fine. I'm guessing you've bought all past iteration of games from franchises that you enjoy despite having complaints.

The Warriors color were one of the concerns people had in past. I never had an issue with it despite me being a life long Warriors fan. I still bought past 2k games with incorrect Warriors colored. I never complained. People brought it up, I noticed. Still didn't matter to me because that part didn't concern me.

The same goes with MLB the Show. If the concerns aren't addressed for future iterations, I'm skipping. More importantly, I actually found a baseball product that's superior.

It seems the equipment measures the light temperature of the lights. From cold(blue) to warm (yellow)

This is completely different than making the stands darker or lighter.

And NO. Not every arena is off.

I'm not buying because I am certain the halftime and end of the game highlights are still not fixed for the PS4 on 12 minute quarters. I didn't buy NBA2k15 because they took out the halftime show with Damon Bruce's voice over (I understand why they did because of what Bruce said in real life; I still love his show, listen to it everyday); I bought NBA2k16 because they added back a halftime show, unfortunately, they should have also kept the technology used for the halftime show in NBA2k14 when scores and upcoming games around the league were mentioned. NBA2k16 still plays a solid game of virtual basketball and I'll get my NBA2k17 (along with NBA2k18 and NBA2k19 and NBA2k20) fix through youtube if 2k doesn't fix the halftime/end of game highlights on the PS4. I might switch over to the XBOX if it comes down to it (because the highlights work on the XBOX, not this year because Scorpio isn't getting released), but as of this minute, I'm keeping my $65. #Keeping my $65 until it's been fixed (even though I don't have twitter)

FYI, the halftime highlights work. The end of games dont for any game over 8 min quarters.

Also, the X1 highlights work but the trade off is for some reason the patches on X1 release weeks after Sony. I switched to X1 because of the highlights bug but switched back when it took a month after Sony release for the first big patch to drop.

# 257 Kstat @ 09/06/16 09:22 PM

I'm not even sure how we could tell just how "off" the lighting is unless you've physically been in that arena personally. I've been to three NBA arenas (Detroit, Indiana, Charlotte) and they all feel different but for LA or NY I honestly have no idea aside from what I see on TV which is filtered.

Closest thing I can think of is an unfiltered picture taken from court side at a similar angle. Even then it's hard to get a real good sound comparison.

# 258 Da InFaMoUs NY @ 09/06/16 09:23 PM

The gameplay is amazing so don't let these things make you not want to get the game.

Haven't felt this much freedom with dribbling since

Offthread topic: But it seems as though PS4 halftime highlights don't work after multiple consecutive gaming sessions. I've had issues where they would simply show the stats break down without any halftime highlights. I would go XB1 but unfortunately I'm hesitant because the Scorpio isn't getting a release date this year. Had they never announced the Scorpio, I'd be gaming XB1 NBA2k17 this year come release date.

Plus, I could wait 2 months for XBOX patches. Fortunately, that aspect doesn't really concern me.

I have a laundry list of little things I think 2K does wrong or not at all.

But I can name thousands of things they do very right.

When I want a perfect NBA experience, Ill load up my league pass. When I want a damn and realistic NBA video game sim, Ill load up 2K.

As I said, it's your loss and its pity you wont be posting your thoughts on the game seeing you're not purchasing it.
