Your best shot is probably going to be streaming or accessing music through a hard drive.

The Xbox 1 has already added the functionality in their latest preview but it wont be live in enough to add custom music back to 2k15.

It's not coming in the ps4 2.0 update ?

Does anyone have a YouTube link for this vid? The OS video player never works for me.

I guess I am glad they are adding it back in but it feels very dry. The players seem "ho-hum" about the intros, the crowd is sitting on their butts and overall it feels "empty". It would be nice if they could pump this up a little more and add some better music. fans should be on their feet for sure.

Nice to see that it's back. And I haven't read the whole thread yet, so these may have been touched on already, but...

What's up with all the Fatheads in the crowd? Not only do you never see that at NBA games, but they're always behind the backboards, not along the sidelines.

The crowd should get much louder when Lebron is announced, or for the biggest star on any team.

Shouldn't there be a spotlight on the player being announced? The arena should get much darker and there should be spotlights on the players.

I know this is nitpicking, but it's little details like this that get overlooked all the time by 2K. Things that should not be that hard to realize, and get worked out.

There's a lot of truth there. I think it's worth treating as a building block if nothing else though. I like encouraging 2K to continue adding realistic details like this. Perhaps they had fear that they wouldn't be able to add it in the manner with which they wanted in the past. At least now, they've got it out there, it exists, and hopefully it's now in position to be tweaked and perfected in the future.

Still, as a whole, I'm always wondering about 2K's audio. With how far in-game graphics have come over the past decade, sometimes it feels like the audio is lagging far behind by comparison.

Yeah, seems like a spotlight (even a simple projected light texture) and increased crowd noise for stars would be rather easy to implement and would really sell the illusion.

That has never been confirmed. Rumored but not confirmed.

Re: NBA 2K15 Trailer - The Land

That was really nice but I would've liked if the arena was darker and the light was focused on the players, the fire thing that appears after a player is announced and a higher ovation for fan favourites or star players.

It's relative. Maybe the crowd is just starting too loud and there isn't much of a difference when the star is announced. That's my take.

You havent attended a ton of NBA games have you? If its not the playoffs, its rare to see a significant amount of fans standing during intros. I've been to the Garden, Verizon Center, Staples, OKC and Boston and OKC was the only place that happened.

Yep. Definitely should be darker.

That don't look like Dion at all.

Everything else is great. I love it.

Interesting. I think every Pistons game I've been to (until maybe the most recent, when they were at their absolute worst) had fans rising to their feet for the intros. I guess I just assumed it was like that everywhere.

Happens in Oracle, too. Not always everyone but a fair number.

I really like the addition but I do have a few small complaints.
Like others have said, the arena should obviously be darker for the home team and have spotlights. There are too many fat heads and also, did anybody notice the camera flashbulbs were WAYY overdone? I've been to hundreds of games and have never seen camera flashes like that. It just gave me more of an Arcady feel instead of what a real NBA player is like.

I'm sorry for nitpicking but I would think doing it the right way wouldn't be much more difficult than doing it the way they chose.
