Dynamic Commentary Trailer

[ThePointForward]

OK, that should add nice amount of variety for the commentary:

I love that Chris Webber is in it. I'm hoping that means we can also locate his broadcast cyberface (if he has one) with Limnonos tool. We have wanted Webber in the game for awhile.

[mp3]

A very nice touch indeed and we'll presented too do should give each game a fresh feel in franchise modes.

[Nick]

That's pretty great. Audio team has redeemed themselves.

Looking forward to some Steve Smith and Chris Webber

[Manni Live]

Doris Burke is going to be Cringe-worthy i just know it.

I wish 2k has the license to get Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy along side with Mark Jackson that would be pretty dope.

Looks like the original video was taken down, so I've fixed the link in the first post.

Very impressive stuff with the commentary this year, great for the atmosphere. Some nice highlights in the gameplay snippets in the trailer as well.

Holy variety, batman. Impressive work but I bet it won't make the commentary less repetitive.

This is probably only the second sports game to take the time to record more than one commentary team with FIFA being the first

NCAA Basketball 10 had separate CBS Sports and ESPN broadcast teams, with appropriate branding.

I guess the positive is that it's a guarantee you won't get Clark Kellogg in every game? Lol

[Andrew]

Indeed, he's sharing the sugar with other broadcasters this year.

[ThePointForward]

But does he pass the cream?

[Andrew]

He's generous with all the foodstuffs, that Clark Kellogg.

They better get a dynamic commentary for coach K, he sounds like he's reading the script.

[Ballyoop]

nice 2k, now get mike breen, mark jackson and the legendary JVG!

[ThePointForward]

All of those are ESPN now, aren't they?

[Ballyoop]

All of those are ESPN now, aren't they?

yes,currntly in a 15-year deal with ea sports. If they could just lend mike breen to 2k, that'd be good.

[TBM]

Doris Burke is ESPN, though. How is she allowed in 2K?

[Andrew]

EA Sports have a deal with ESPN for the in-game branding/presentation. I'm guessing that unless they've also signed a deal with EA, any specific on-air talent for ESPN aren't bound to exclusively appear in NBA Live, and are free to sign their own deals with 2K (or anyone else who develops a basketball game), as long as they're not presented as an ESPN commentator/analyst. Mike Breen, Jeff Van Gundy, and Jalen Rose are currently signed with EA, while Doris Burke obviously isn't.

Of course, her presence in NBA 2K might be a stumbling block in them securing authentic NBA on TNT branding. Then again, the license may not be financially viable, or TNT might not be interested in an exclusive deal. We've never received confirmation either way on that, but Doris' presence in the game probably would cause some problems in that regard.
