- NBA 2K20 COMMENTATORS SERIES
Game-Breaking Bug: One that was caused by real life circumstances.Thankfully being drafted means your team is much more focused on winning games rather than putting on a one man show, allowing you to play more to your strengths.
Your only hope is to dominate defensively as well as work on getting high numbers in points and assists. There's just one problem: every other player on your team is so geeked up to do the same they become utter ball hogs, going against five on one odds and not allowing you a look on even if they have no chance of scoring. The Rookie Showcase (used from 2K12 to 2K14) has you trying to perform and impress the teams so you can get a high spot in the draft.In other words the game makes you pay for the technical by ramping up the difficulty to insane levels. The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: The other negative in using bad language, in that after the technical is called you and your team slide in a big way and the opponents step up their game like it was game seven of the finals, fourth quarter, scores are tied.Cold Opening: Booting up 2K11 for the first time has you walking out with Jordan for the 1991 NBA Finals player introduction against the Lakers, replete with the Bulls mascot waving a flag, superstar entrance for Jordan and the man himself clapping powder in Jerry Krause's face.
in Steve Kerr's case for example, you shoot a lot of 3-pointers.
Character Blog: In 2K13/14, your player has a Facebook or Twitter page where fans will cheer or call you out on your performance, opposing players will challenge you or say you came through, the media will cover how you played as well as your poise during interviews and superstars will tag you as a friend if. The very first time you boot up the game, and go through the Cold Opening (described below), Jordan, voiced by himself in this cutscene, will look at the player, and ask if they're ready to play, before joining the rest of the Bulls. The Cameo: Michael Jordan himself in 2K11. If you attempt to foul out, the game will never let you pick up your 5th foul. But Thou Must!: In the second high school game you play in 2K21's M圜areer mode, your player will always pick up an injury afterwards, even if you stand in the far corner just outside the out-of-bounds line of the court throughout the game. A later update added him to the '12-'13 Heat, All-Time Raptors, and All-Time Heat teams.
The Bus Came Back: A December 2019 MyTeam event in 2K20 brought back Chris Bosh after he was absent in 2K19. 2k19 later one-upped that by releasing a 99 overall Galaxy Opal Rarity version of Scalabrine. 2k16 once released a 90 overall Brian Scalabrine, aka The White Mamba for a limited time. This didn't change when Bosh was brought back in 2K20. Since 2K19 didn't have Bosh, Mourning moved up a spot and Shaquille O'Neal became the starting center. The Artifact: The starting lineup for 2K18's All-Time Heat had Chris Bosh at power forward and Alonzo Mourning at center. Also, all the NBA commentators freely rotate on each new game, making the commentary much less stale than your average sports game. Exaggerated in 2K22, which features eight different commentators for the NBA games and three for WNBA ones. 2K18 upped the ante even further with the addition of NBA legends Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett, who occasionally appear for Lakers and Timberwolves/Celtics games, respectively. 2K17 pushed the trope to a new level with a rotating third member of the virtual booth instead of being stuck with the same three voices, each game would randomly slot in a third broadcast talent next to the two leads, from the likes of former players like Chris Webber and current broadcasters like Doris Burke, to give the game a more realistic talent turnover from game to game. Announcer Chatter: Unlike many sports games, 2K records their talent simultaneously in the same room, allowing a lot of way for the commentators to banter amongst each other instead of trading canned lines. It's since surpassed EA Sports's NBA Live series, to the point where Live and NBA Elite, a planned refresh of the Live franchise, had several installments cancelled all the way up to NBA Live 2020. The series started life as the exclusive basketball title for the Sega Dreamcast, but later appeared on other consoles starting with NBA 2K2. The NBA 2K series is the most popular franchise of video games based on basketball.
