NBA 2K14 will sport a "Real Voice" feature, taking clips from actual NBA interviews and using them for the in-game halftime and post-game interviews.

Much of the nuclear escalation that is yearly sports game releases comes down to how real the game is getting. The visuals look more real, the animations become more real, and real stats are plugged in to make it the realest real that ever real. 2K Sports recently took the wraps off another really-real feature for NBA 2K14: 'Real Voice.'

The feature takes audio from actual NBA player and coach interviews, and then plugs them into the halftime and post-game interviews in-game. It boasts more than 600 interviews in all, from players like Lebron James and Kevin Durant.

It also inadvertently confirms how much of this type of post-game chatter is completely interchangeable. Quotes like "they play hard, they play together" and "we were taking a couple of bad shots" can so easily apply to any NBA game that they can be wrenched from their original context and put in a user-controlled medium--and yet it still makes sense. See for yourself.

        Yeah I always think these games are weird in that they put a ton of detail on certain aspects and animations and then totally miss certain animations that leave the characters looking really stiff and awkward or fake because they all look the same.

          Yea sometimes they'll have two players on the court or field run the same exact animation at the same time and it looks hilarious

      Would there be any legal ramifications of using their voices in the game?
