NBA Elite 11 ESPN Integration Video

Ryan Santos discusses ESPN Integration in this year's game in this new video over on the official website.

Good stuff. Looks like they had fun making all of the commentary recording. "Mama, there goes that man."

Yeah I got that impression as well. It's interesting that they were presented with the situations to imagine and react to, we were told at a community event in previous years that when Marv Albert and Steve Kerr were recording they'd play real game footage of moments that would be possible in-game so they could react accordingly and record dialogue that had more of a natural feel to it; at least, that was the intention. Having them in the booth together seems like the best way to go regardless of how they're getting reactions.

I understand them calling Mike Breen the best play-by-play guy in the business, though in real life at least I'm still partial to Albert as he was the voice I grew up with. I've come to really like Breen's work though, I go back and forth on Jackson and Van Gundy but it's definitely the right call to have them in the game and make proper use of the ESPN license.

Really, it's hard for me to decide who's better. Marv because he's the play-by-play on Live 10 , and Breen because I always watch basketball on ESPN.
