I'm more interested in gameplay videos and blogs/interviews discussing the changes.
Some trailers in the past exposed a lot of weird looking jumpshots etc so this is shaping up to be nice
All OS's fault.

Nice deal for those that don't have an Xbox One, as it looks like 2K19 is bundled in with the S and X.
2K hasn't changed since 2K7, if we are being honest here

Now THAT's something I haven't seen before.

That's been in the game since 2K14.
Crowd ambiance is key to immersion. IMO, more than the player emotion animations.
There's been stuff on the screen though? I just see black laptops sitting on the desk when I play on PC
Crowd ambiance is key to immersion. IMO, more than the player emotion animations.
MLB The Show 18(SDS) does crowd animations(happy, sad, frustrated) and cheers and jeers really, really well.
I confirm this
That's great news and a nice addition to the game.
If, by chance, the decision to blacken all the arenas is totally just an artistic liberty and has nothing to do with system limitations, then I'm 150 percent with you. The Pistons' new arena does get a bit dark toward the upper deck in real life, but it does not tend to go pitch black after seven rows.
Interestingly, this shot of Staples from the trailer actually looks pretty great:

Which probably confirms that this is from an older build of the game. I wouldn't expect any major changes going forward but just something to note.
I know the stadiums still look dark but is it me or does the lighting on players look a little better? Seemed like player skin tones and jersey have a little more pop to them. Almost like they brightened the lights focused down on the court.
Courts is definitely one of my complaints in the visual department. A lot of them are inaccurate and dull looking. It's one of the areas the other game kills 2k in.

Agreed... It seems it extends to the eyes as well...
One of my old complaints regarding player models was that the eyes seemed off on players but they look way more authentic in this trailer...
I think this trailer might be 4k game-play... The textures look too crisp, Id be surprised if it was 1080p...
But if they had both jerseys in at the time they made the trailer why would they decide to go with the old jersey instead of showing off the new one? This has typically been an indicator that the trailer isn't of the latest build. I'm pretty sure these trailers are made a couple weeks in advance as well so odds are this isn't the final build (whatever that even means in a day where day one patches are all but a guarantee).
Doesn't matter either way though. It's not like the game is going to look like a totally different game in a later build.
Czar tweeted at me and it sounds like they aren’t scheduled to release a blog this year and no request for them too from marketing? Bad move imo! Smh! Simnation needs to stand up here. Let czar and OG loose! Best blogs by far imo!!!

You can actually see the new Lakers jersey in the trailer, but they're in the background covered by a depth of field. You can see them at these timestamps; 0:08 and 0:15
Thats 2 years in a row. 2K marketing is bugging. They need to steal the zeitgeist back from Fornite, where most of the community move to, mostly due to them being open with development and to the community desires.
2K with the same marketing strategy for the last 10 years. The trailer is getting ate up in the comments section for being "nothing new, nothing special"
I know more of Red Dead Redemption 2 than this game which comes out in a month....smh
Interesting.... seems a bit odd considering they've released blogs in the past. Maybe, and this is a big maybe, they really are trying to hide something.
Same. Did we really need the hype announcement for a trailer? Just release it.
Ecomotion.
Emotions are a huge part of basketball, and I’m hoping they’ve improved this feature because it sure as hell is immersive. It was one of my favorite new features that year, and I had no idea why it wasn’t expanded on throughout the years.
The rest besides CP3 putting the defender in jail along with the Eurodunk where what caught my eye.

Considering people have been complaining about the arena lighting for a few years now I wouldn't count on it being fixed. At this point I just assume there is a reason for not improving stadium lighting. They've made clear attempts at addressing other issues over the years, such as body types, I can't imagine they are blatantly putting in no effort to improve arena specific lighting.
I feel like they’re intentionally making arenas dark so that jersey colors and player faces can pop more
They really need to tone down the ridiculously long, baggy shorts. Very few players have them going all the way to their knees in today's league, and they are nowhere near as baggy as they are in the game.

In the 2k shorts, you could legitimately fit an extra leg into each leg hole.

So we got here the L2 control for the Hard Stop! I just hope this animation isn't weak where the opponent loses the ball easily?
lol background pitch black
hate this move
What history has explained to us about Trailers, they're usually old builds and sometimes several different builds in one trailer, and it's not really Gameplay, but highlights.
Anytime I hear anyone say, "I'm not buying a game based in a trailer, you weren't buying it anyway" foh

2.Kyrie still have the big head.
3.Lowry's, Covington hair not updated.
4.Shorts length and width need to be smaller and less wide.
5.Dennis Smith dunking, looking down and not in the ring?? no way that is correct.
6.Alley oop animation with Gordon should be in street only. that was bad.
7. Dwight Howard is toooo dark.
8.Kawhi need more muscles and shoulder than that. he has the same body like Derozan in that video. Leonard is more bulk.
9. Players in warmers with hood on??? most of this player in bench wearing that hood.
10.Blocking..they really need to make an animation that you block the ball with a palm or finger close to the ball and not this usual animation they making like it was swat by an arm or an invisible thing.
11.Is there going to be an altercation now (Booker+Lillard) i hope and pray!!
This are the things i notice so far in the trailer that need some attention before the release.

Most are just predictably underwhelmed; we know the score. As an aside, wasn't there a time when Momentous Trailers served as the first actual reveal? I suppose I could just be remembering wrong, but this was the type of trailer that got me pumped for 2K's next edition:

Who here has said that they're not buying the game because of the trailer? I don't know what the hell you're talking about... we're just critiquing flaws in the game. God forbid we do that on a forum centered around sports gaming.
1. Harden has his nosebleed celebration, not sure if that was in the game before but I don't recall ever seeing.
2. Looks like there may be tip-off rituals in the game (0:15)
For reference:

Plus, as I stated before, I was hyped about Trailers in 2008 like the next guy, but at this point, I understand they're not really made for me but the masses, so I don't sweat it either way.

It always seems like 2k is trying to hide Westbrook's face prior to release
Durant blocking CJ (I see what you are doing there 2k..lol)
KCP, Elfrid Payton, Lowry, Covington(possibly) and Bullock still without hair updates
John Collins with Tats.
Love the emotion throughout
Wall and Giannis look great
CJ and Thaddeus Young got hair updates
Not bad 2k art department but you know you guys can do better..
20 years in the making baby!! WOOOO!!!
Yea man, I completely agree with you. It's kinda hard to get excited because at the end of the day, even with all of the cool little intricacies that are added to the game, it still looks like 2K18. I play on broadcast cam, so good lighting would be something that I can easily notice because it can be viewed on every play. We're seeing things that look good in special circumstances. Yea the sweat looks cool on a close-up, the facial animations look amazing on a close-up, but the bad lighting is really hampering the graphical improvements from shining (pun intended.)
Naw bruh you never lower your standards, but I can save my money if something isn't to my liking and the graphical direction of 2k is no where close to where it was or where it could be at this point why settle for less when you can always have more esp. with something you pay for if it was a free game then fair enough standards should be low.
It's disappointing that the jersey/shorts fit hasn't been touched at all.
Lighting was so much better just 2 years ago tho...nothing wrong with holding 2k’s art team to a higher standard. We all know they can do much better.
Don't know if you were referring to me, but I didn't say anything about lighting preventing me from playing. Unfortunately, I will always buy 2K because that's just what I always do. It doesn't mean that I can't voice my opinion on what I'm gonna end up buying, no matter what. Just saying.

I forgot 2k15 had the dark arenas too, that alone shows its not a problem due to not having enough memory its just a bad art design that 2k seems to be content with, I'm not going to use the "L" word but making more then half the arena dark does make things easier as far as crowd detail goes.

It almost killed the series.
Took Rob Jones off the project
Added Ball trails like NBA jam
Every player including Iverson and Chauncey billups jumped and dunked off 2 feet like Jason Richardson
Removed ALL plays and only left 4 quick plays due to an IGN article by a guy named Hilary..... freaking casuals
I don't even wanna continue man, im getting warm thinking about it.

That game didnt even have a mid range game....still doesn't.
Im just saying when you let casuals totally run the show thats the kind of stuff that happens.
I hardly ever spend time looking at the game in replay or anything, so I'll withhold any judgement until I see an actual gameplay video that wasn't shot in between games of Snake on a Motorola RAZR.
from the outside, it looks like they're treating their 20th anniversary like another day at the office. Nothing groundbreaking yet (the myleague blog was great)
but to see some actual gameplay and more than a few screenshots with ratings would be nice (seriously these screeshots are getting stale by the day)
But I also dislike it sometimes because things I never paid attention to, y’all bring it to light with examples and I am looking like “Wow. That is bad” and it starts making me see those things wrong with the game I never saw lol. A lot of times I try not to even look at the examples anymore because it’ll make me not like the game a little less because that “thing” is now bothering me.

It just feels like a marketing thing. If it weren't for MyLeague, I wouldn't even be looking at this game
Strange era in 2K basketball right there.
2K4 was the worst. Not the worst 2K, the worst this century. Those of you who like to throw into the air the "This is the worst 2K ever" every now and then, you guys are spoiled.
2K4 literally removed 3/4 of what was in 2K3, and didn't add anything back except for presentation/graphics. For example, 2K4 had no low post game whatsoever, I'm totally serious.
Edit: Nice trailer.

Yeah i was thinking the same along with Harden. I'm not sure if their contract is up with EA yet. Westbrook's should be it's been 4 years since he's was the coverboy for live 16. But who knows.
What’s stopping you??
Everyone and their mom complaining whenever any of us criticize 2k’s art direction.
At least ball looks better. Everything else looks about the same.

I respect your right to voice your complaint about the art direction, but just maybe...just maybe it would be nice to read something different.

This move should be added to the game by now.
and a trigger for normal "Fake Pass" when driving to the basket shouldnt be just an animation or a layup package.
waiting for a real gameplay video now
To be fair, I think the Vets of this board have pretty much seen it all at this point. The NBA 2K12 video was the last trailer that got me excited, but that Eminem song was hot, and the way they cut away from one action to transition to another was a nice touch! The trailer was the reason why I bought that particular album.
??
How do you show off gameplay in a hype trailer?
They did, the crowds have different sound per arena - turn everything but the crowd off and record it and go into each arena, and compare them - they're different. Crowds are mostly white noise though so it's not like someone is gonna say 'omg that's totally the Pacers crowd!' from listening to it.
It's a really nice "little thing". Especially for someone like me who plays ML and plays in all the different arenas. I don't get the hate the video got. The way some of these guys act you would think it was false advertisement or something. Then again, some of them live to complain. I'd prefer they got crowd noise right too but it's still a nice touch. If 2K focuses on the crowd atmosphere this year it'll only add to the overall presentation.
I think my response was confusing - i was saying 2K did record the crowd in each arena. You can tell if you turn up only the crowd and compare arenas in 2K18.
They could stand to improve the 'pop' of the reactions/cheers, and recognize runs more.. but i definitely don't think it's really a 'weak' point, unless you're expecting every game to be treated like a playoff game. I think it's fairly realistic overall.

Ahh, really. See I didn't know that. I'm gonna pay a little bit closer attention to the crowd noise. Maybe play more with my surround set on. I don't think the crowd sounds terrible either. But like you said, it could use a bit more pop.

Recently played myleague for the first time and was blown away by the crowd sounds . I use a home theater set .
