This was going to be my pick: The Original Sin That Mankind is Responsible to.
I'm disappointed to have not been able to find any behind the scenes story about how this made it to the game. If you're a professional game developer, just think what must have gone through their heads and the kind of discussions that must have taken place after the NBA 2k15 lines were recorded. Was it time constraints that required the lines to be completed in just one take? Did the NBA players have any sense of how terrible they sounded? Did they care? I'd just love to hear from the devs how this all went down.
I'd heard Woolie talk about this but hadn't watched it until now. Holy crap I don't know how to feel about that.
It's still an awful scene. Not "worst in videogames" bad, though.
The guy's delivery here is not great, but honestly, this is practically Oscar worthy compared to the other stuff in this thread. Really doesn't belong here.
They're NBA players.

lol, at first I didn't believe it was an official dub, but it looks like it is! It literally sounds like some random youtubers just put their voices in the game with sony vegas.
Btw, this led me to discover some other bad spanish dubs, like Arizona Sunshine or Control (which sounds bad, especially for an AAA game).
I don't think the dub is to blame for that.
Meh, this is 100% intentionally trying to be B-movie shlock. It's just aping the shit acting and tone from Fast and Furious.
The low tier anime games being posted don't really compare either, most of that is clearly being done on almost no budget. The NBA stuff is way more embarrassing because they should do better.

All the times I've had to deal with ANY non-actor, whether they're athletes, singers, etc... for anything staged, you pretty much have to just tell them to react how they would and say what they'd say in that situation and then work around it later.
If you give them lines to read, most of them are going to sound like they're reading lines...poorly.
I'm sorry, but did you just post the best YouTube video of all time?
I've been playing HotD 2+3: The Return on Wii and when I saw this thread title, I was wondering if the dialogue from those games ranked as worst ever.
I really love the agent's intro line:
"We're meeting G over there."
I can't believe it took 4 pages to see this one posted.
Love Shenmue but this is god awful, still funny though.
