Reinstated? Cool... good for him but at the time they could have easily scrapped him. I'm not a Greg Anthony *****, I actually like him (ex-knick). I think it will be Chris Webber.

Whats not true? I never said they couldnt have fictional characters. What I said was they cant have people who are employed by other networks (Burke is employed by ESPN) acting as if they work for a competing network in a video game.

It's official. It's on NBA 2K's youtube page.




Where the heck is Doc & Marty McFly when you need them? Where the heck is the delorean when you need one? That lucky dog.

1st off I'm not trying to make it seem unreasonable for people wanting TNT presentation. My point is they basically already have it. Now if having a 2K logo instead of a TNT logo on it kills it for you then that's too bad & you're entitled to your opinion as is everyone else.

2nd, "Everything you want is stupid and unnecessary, and everything I want is must-have or else the game is garbage", I don't recall anyone saying this or giving that impression. Sorry if you feel that way bro.

Honestly, I'd like TNT because I love their graphics and hearing their music before tip off would be awesome. Haha

But I get how thats really not cost effective and would come with limitations....

But graphics and music.

Haha.

LOL. Thats really dramatic.

No one called wanting the TNT license "stupid". I wouldnt mind seeing it. Its just weird how its become an obsession here. What we are talking about is a logo and a set design.

The fact is 2k is doing the sim community a huge favor by adding these features in the game because most casual player skip past pre, post and halftime shows. OS is one of the few places on the internet where you will find people demanding these features or complaining because the scoreboard hasnt changed in this year's game.

Licensing a network's mark in a game isnt cheap. I know this because I worked on trademark licenses for the cable network I work for. I did that work for 5 years and we are talking about deals in the high hundred thousands to millions. Now, I would rather 2k spend that money on resources that would help the gameplay (new employees, additional tech) than just a logo that appears during screen wipes and on the scoreboard.
