Let's not pretend like it's because 2k doesn't have the money to do a TNT broadcast. It's just they feel other thing provide a better value/lift to sales and/or other things are being prioritize.

Personally, I feel TNT rights would be more valuable than 2kTV, but that's from my perspective. 2kTV may provide great branding experience for 2k as a company and are probably more aligned with company goals. Oh well.

This is what we've all been waiting for.

If it's not in my career I'll probably never see it

It's as if they have 5 development teams at 3 different companies working on this game. Wow! How do they do it? All video game companies should take note. Just wow!

I am blown away by what they are putting into this game. From Spike Lee, to the CPU breaking you down, to presentation, to the overhaul in game play, to everything else I am reading, 2k is just awesome.

As an indie developer, I can only admire them and what they do. They are the gold standard of developers that I aspire to be some day.

I can't wait to get my hands on this game. I have not purchased 2k since 2013. (I hate having to purchase coins to just use the game. I hate in-app purchases. If I payed money for something, I want to be able to use all of it. It's the reason that I don't download a bunch of apps now on my phone. Anyway, I digress.)

This will be my first time back since then. It's good to be back.

So happy that the halftime report has returned to its former glory with player specific highlights. It is also nice that Kenny Smith has joined the team. Can't wait to find out the third member of the commentary team.

Doris Burke is an ESPN reporter and I doubt ESPN would let her be affiliated with a rival network in a video game. Same goes for Clark Kellogg. When ESPN was licensed, they only used ESPN announcers.

It's also unrealistic. In real life no team uses TNT every game, or NBA TV. They all have their own local stations with different scoreboards.

I wouldn't even want TNT in the game unless it was for select games.
