It's good that he mentioned it. That means he is aware what the comp is doing which has proven to be beneficial to the comps product and trying to mimic it. Nothing wrong with that imo. Best insight yet.

Finally word about the playbook/sets. The change to "types of plays" rather than real NBA sets is troubling but I guess only thing to do is wait and see.

This is sounding very promising.

Good detail on the player models judging from those screenshots.

In 2k9, you had the option to practice plays in pratice mode. When I would let the CPU run the play, they couldn't even complete some of the plays. When I play these movies in 2k10, I hope all the plays are completed by the CPU and no just continuously broken.

I'm with you j.r. but the biggest problem with the playbooks in 2k9 to me were that they took to long to develop and they didn't always put players in the spots where they like to attack. Live's got the playbook authenticity down but if their playbooks can pull off those two things that will make the absense of real playbooks a little less painful.

I'm interested to see how all of these things play out hopefully they work well because they would go a long way in helping make the game a lot less predictable.

The graphics looks amazing in those pictures

it actually might be fun to play the cpu? is that what i'm reading
but seriously it SOUNDS good but i'll hold off until i SEE how it's implemented and those screens look good they look like the players have human skin unlike a certain competitor
