I've been playing the game for a month now and I can't decide if I should play with a created team or not. With a created team, they only do play by play announcing along with Doris Burkes skits. Of course with another real team, they talk about the players, the team, the league, etc. I love that talk, but I'm getting tired of hearing about Jerry Sloans 22 year run, or how the Jazz just weren't big enough to beat the Lakers last year, or how Paul Milsap was a good rebounder in college.

What is your opinion on the announcing (with a real team or created team), and for an association, what do you think will be the overall best long term enjoyment?

the commentary is too repetitive, Clark Kellogg needs to be replaced for 2K12

Long-run best might be to turn off the commentary, because the repetition will be maddening, and I assume that years 2-30 will not have the conversations anyway.

I play My Player for the Hornets, and the only guy with unique commentary is Okafor since Chris Paul is injured. It's always about his appetite, his stretching, or how he is one of the true scholars of the NBA. Also, I'm a leader in blocks and rebounds, but so is Okafor, and when I'm ahead of him, they always talk about him and never my character.

Since I know the announcing gets repetitive, I turn off the announcers for most games, then turn it on for big games (so it kind of feels like a national TV game) and the playoffs.

Plus, I just like to hear the crowd, PA announcer, and music/diddies. It makes it feel more like I'm there. I do this with all sports games and it keeps the announcers fresh for much longer.

It's as simple as turning it off

Commentary is to geared toward the first season.

Yeahh...especially with NBA Today still not working for me (360)...I haven't played that many games so most of the information is still 'fresh' but I am sure once I have the time to it will get pretty repetitive.

I had the commentary on while I was playing My Player mode but after 22 or so games I got sick of hearing the same thing so I just turned it off. I might turn the commentary back on once every 10 games.
