NBA 2k11 with TNT Scoreboard?

[natche21]

What do you guys think??

[KyotoCarl]

Too much speculation going on right now. You can't tell at all from that picture not even when zooming in.

I'd love it if they had TNT integration, but nothing's confirmed and any talk about this right now is pure speculation and hoping.

[natche21]

if that's tnt does that mean they will have a new brodcast team?

That, and TNT integration, would probable have been announced sooner than this it were so.
We can hope, but there's nothing in that picture which we can draw any assumptions from.

i am a die hard basketball watcher and i can confirm by zooming in that
that in fact is the current scoreboard they use on TV right now i can see the TNT logo
and everything... i don't know what you don't see maybe you don't watch as much but that is 100% TNT

[Andrew]

Good stuff, since Elite will finally be making full use of their ESPN license it's only appropriate 2K goes with the TNT crew. And probably not all that surprising since they brought a former NBA on TNT producer in to help polish up their presentation.

There's no way you can confirm that's the TNT logo just from zooming in on that picture. I've tried it myself and it gets too pixelated.
Besides, it looks like the scores are on top of each other instead of side by side.

Everyone's hoping for the game to have TNT integration, including me, but there's nothing confirmed right now and I think people are seeing what they want to see in that picture.
More likely, it's a 2K logo instead of a TNT logo. You can even see there's some white in there, which the TNT logo doesn't have but the 2K logo does.

Well Kevin Harlan (the current play-by-play announcer for 2K's NBA games) works for TNT in real life, so I'd imagine that they'd stick with him if they did include TNT Integration in 2K11. Clark Kellogg on the other hand does college basketball games on CBS Sports, so they'd probably find a replacement for him to add a more realistic feel to the game.

yeah i think that's TNT score board

actually smart guy i can confirm that it is seriously do you need glasses for sure i can clearly see the pic and the scores are not on top of each other
here look at this then go look at it again i am right regardless of what you see

I think that woman is pulling up her pants. And someone left their cue cards on one of the chairs or else some of those guys could sit down too.

No chance you can clearly see that it's a TNT logo. Show me a picture of it where it's clearly visible. It's to pixelated when you zoom in so it's impossible to see.

I don't want to argue, but you really can't tell from that picture. I want TNT integration as much as anyone, but I'm not gonna speculate on something that's impossible to confirm at this point.

[Patr1ck]

You never know, it could be a new tnt logo that we have yet to see broadcast. From the blurry mess of zooming in, I don't think it is the current one.

[shadowgrin]

By the length of the sticks of that foosball table, I am pretty sure the guy who played previously from that side won.

[The X]

Charles Barkley is king. Wouldn't it be great to have him, Ernie & the Jet for the half-time show? Although given it's a computer game, I doubt they could recreate his greatness

Could be, but at this point, noone not working for 2K can say with 100% certainty that "that's the TNT logo". Some people are doing it even though you can't tell at all from that picture.
I'm not trying to bash people, but since none of us no any of the details of the game it's not too good that we start making confirmations when all we are really doing is speculating, hoping and seeing what we want to see.

Yeah, it would be hard to capture the spontaneity. It'd be cool all the same but I think it's something I'd skip after a little while.

It's the 2K logo, not the TNT logo:

Nice a closer look
so not TNT logo :/ but meh I got some info off of wikipedia (not sure if it's legit)

Improved Presentation

NBA 2K11 improved the presentation to make the game appear even more realistic. With the help from a TNT producer, NBA 2K11 improved the broadcast aspect of the game to make it more of like the NBA on TNT. This includes seeing players walk off the team bus as they enter the arena during pre game.

[Rugshtyne]

I wanted to post that pic .. Oh well. I like that layout.

[KyotoCarl]

No problem, I'm excited that it says "Conference finals vs Portland" and then lists stats! That's what I've been waiting for, stats from individual playoff series! Hope it's for both teams and players.

Plus, that 2K scoreboard looks great!

That info is legit. They don't have a TNT license but they did get help from a TNT producer in making it feel more like a broadcast. They got help from him(/them?) to understand when TNT uses graphical overlays and why.

[Andrew]

TNT Integration would've been cool but no doubt that former producer has helped them add a little extra polish to the presentation so unless the 2K Sports branding particularly bothers anyone, it's not the end of the world.

I, personally, like the whole idea with a "2K Sports Channel" broadcast of the games. Sure, TNT integration would be awesome. I remember NBA Live 97 had TNT and TBS game. TBS for weekday games and TNT for weekend games, with different announcers.

Anyway, if they polish the "2K Sports Channel" broadcast presentation, I'd be very happy.

And, I love the fact that they have stats from previous playoff series. I hope that stays in the game and it applies when playing quick playoffs or Association.

[Andrew]

It doesn't bother me either. I do like that Elite will (finally) embrace ESPN Integration and make full use of the license but if 2K's presentation closely apes what TNT does then it more than makes up for the fictional branding.

New pic again but this is a bit blurred
