NBA 2K17 Dynamic Commentary Trailer

[DBMcGee3]

What's wrong with the halftime show on the PS4?

The halftime and post-game highlights don't work if you're playing anything longer than 6 minute quarters (I think). I usually play full 48 minute games so this has been a huge aggravation of mine since 2k14.

Last year I didn't mind as much because, honestly, the replays were so poorly done I didn't really care to see them. Way too choppy and the camera would constantly focus on the wrong things. Light years better in 2k15.

Sounds awesome, I can't wait to try the prelude tomorrow and the game next week.

I know this is a hype vid and all the fanboys in here going crazy but this trailer has me concerned. The extra commentary is def a nice touch and the pre/after game shows are great for immersion but those get tired and skipped through after a month or so. I am worried about some gameplay I saw in the trailer. The contact dunk by Butler is an old animation that the user gets sucked into and is completely non-organic. The and 1 layups made in the paint were weak fouls and a couple looked like last year when the game just decided what was happening after a button press. I hated how the game would give you or your opponent so many free points by auto triggering fouls and contact animations. Also the on the Bledsoe drive and dunk, the user sprints straight up the sideline as far as he can go then takes almost a 90 degree turn to get a free dunk. This is an old tactic from past years because it is hard to user control the defender opening up properly and cutting off the lane. So is defense better/different, or more of the same? This year the motto is skills matter and that is what I am craving for. This trailer's gameplay looked like a lot of the same from years past. Great looking animations and moments but animations taking the control from the players and helping dictate circumstances. 2k16 played at the highest level really is not basketball, it is more about how to trigger certain animations and events that will get your players open or force fouls.

Do we have a list yet of what teams get what announcers?

As a FIFA player I watch this video and almost weep. How can this game just be so much better and so much more immersive than FIFA? I cannot believe there are basketball fans who complain about NBA2k.

Grass is always greener.

A lot of the anti 2k guys use The Show and FIFA as the standard 2k needs to get to.

I imagine they have their pros and cons as well.

I see people complaining about recycled line and etc but did y'all not understand dynamic commentary. That basically means they will update the commentary throughout the NBA season so it shouldn't be too repetitive.

I thought that was more so for last generation because current gen looked pretty spot on to me.

Yup, it was perfect in 2K16. No need to change it.

I'm going to say it. This is the best trailer in NBA 2K history.

Unless 2k knows something we don't. Really not feeling this dark blue...

I agree, and don't get me started on that garbage Rondo stumble step at 1:34. That's the kind of stuff that got me off of last year's game, way too much canned animation for me.

Mike Wang's gameplay blog was like a love letter to my heart, hoping to see most of that stuff come to fruition in the game.

This is how we do it.......da na na na na.

Marvelous, can't wait for the game!

Re: NBA 2K17 Dynamic Commentary Trailer

I'm speechless. This is so far beyond anything that has ever been attempted before in sports gaming.

You can nitpick things here and there, but I don't think anyone can say with a straight face that 2K isn't busting their *** to push the genre forward.

Yes, I'm impressed. When the leaks came out and said they had 11 commentators I thought they meant sideline reporters. Didn't think they would go and record multiple commentary teams. Amazing work here by 2K.

Played FIFA, The Show and 2K. Who are they kidding? If FIFA and the Show are the standard then their standards must be low cause 2K is superior in gameplay, presentation and features compared to FIFA and the Show.

Re: NBA 2K17 Dynamic Commentary Trailer

Am I the only one that doesn't like 2k's commentary?

I love that they are adding multiple broadcast "teams" (even though they will all feature Kevin Harlan), but the play-by-play commentary is something I've been hoping they would work on since I started playing the game.

Watching a real-life broadcast, they have their side-conversations and talk about off-court things, but transition to what's in front of them when something actually happens on the court. There's more focus on the game and less on back story.

In 2k, it feels more like a radio show where they occasionally see a clip from an NBA game; there's a lot of banter but very little focus on what's happening on the court. It really breaks the immersion.
