Assistant coach during timeouts

Hi everyone! Is there a way to disable the assistant coach talking during timeouts? I actually hate listening to him.

What about the head coach in between quarters?

"JUST RELAX AND PLAY THE GAME! Relax and play the game! Relax and play the game."

What does that add? It's generic blather that has nothing to do with the specific game situation.

Probably not. More than likely written in the code of the game. Maybe a patch can offer a option to turn it off.

This is the most IDIOT feature EVER!

But in My Carrer this stupid issue is gone! THKS GOD!

"There is only one guy doing all the damage up there". Heard it during 90% of my timeouts

Want to remove this "feature" too ...

Same stupid asshole who says every timeout the same bullshit, acting like a shit.

This guy and trampoline during half-time

"Your my Pippen, and your my Jordan."

I aint your nothing.

It's funny. The other year everybody was ragging on the assistant coach that sounded like he had a bunch of saliva or something in his mouth. After I read comments about it, I couldn't un-hear it. I'd rather hear nothing than this year's assistant and his generic speeches. Using play by play commentary or showing some key replays would be better for the presentation, imo.

What about those amazing wide camera angles from under Brubaker?

On another note, I like that you can go to the trainer during a team practice and get a random conversation in My Career.

Yesterday I had a stationary angle from a few rows back during a timeout. During the "You're my Pippen, and you're my Jordan" part of the speech, Coach Brubaker pointed at Kenneth Faried both times. I can't speak for Justice Young, but I felt a little overlooked.

Sorry for the bump, but it seems that this asshole isn't present everytimes.

So perhaps, there's a way with cheat engine to disable it ?

It's so annoying, the actor is awfull, there's only few sentences, and it's the same guy for all teams.

That's by far the most annoying feature in the game.

Did anyone ever find a way to turn this stupid feature off? Is there any file I could delete?

There doesn't seem to be an in-game option anywhere, unless I keep overlooking it.

Nope, still nothing. I've seen this subject was brought up by a significant amount of people on OS forums. Literally, I haven't seen one single person saying they like this feature. I don't expect a patch where they give us the option to turn off this feature this year but I really hope this fake assistant coach is gone in 2k18. I want the real assisting coach on my bench.

I can see what they were going for, and it makes a little more sense in MyCAREER, but I don't think it's turned out to be a good idea.

I don't play MyCareer but I hate that the fake trainer appears when you play Play-Now! I Have replaced the coaches faces:

It's a waste of time in a game that already takes too long. Unskippable timeout and halftime cut scenes were the worst in 2K16, especially when grinding for vc

Yeah, it'd at least be tolerable if you could immediately skip the scene with a single button press, but that's not even close to being the case.

you can remove this stupid idiot assistant coach in exhibition game and get the real assistant coach for both team doing this.

after you've selected the teams that you will play the game. don't pick any of both team as the user.
the game will start. just before the tip off. push escape. choose a side for the team you wanna control and you will see on the bench the real assistant coach of the team you've selected.

I want to know who on the Dev team thought that this Assistant Coach "Speech" thing during the timeouts was a good idea... it actually makes me cringe...

I'd bet there's even a secret dev option to turn it off. Why couldn't they just restrict it to MyCareer.... presentation? If anything it makes the presentation worse.

Presentation and immersion, but it's an idea that was a lot better in theory than in practice.

Incidentally, Brubaker follows you to another team if you sign elsewhere in MyCAREER, so there's no escape.
