  "While the controls feel responsive, free throws are still a bit difficult to perform. Nailing the precise timing takes plenty of practice, but if your free throws really stink, you can take to the practice mode to work on them. You can also work on your game through practice matches and rehearse plays, such as pick-and-rolls and give-and-gos."

did anyone else hear "the gatorade call up" ?

Gatorade call-up? I'll put that with the Sprite Ice Cold Keys to the Game (as in the phrase, "Wow, these keys are ice cold") as the worst product placements 2K has ever attempted.

On the lighter side, the guy playing My Player was horrible.

Also, though it wasn't in the posted screenshots, that video showed the "Nickname" field again. So is it in the retail or not?

It's funny how the hands on reviewer mentions that the product placement is over done or whatever.... Have they ever watched a sporting event on TV before? There are many in the game as well as overlays with the "brought to you by..." all over the place. 2K is not doing it for authenticity sake, they are doing it simply because it generates revenue from the different vendors that are in the game - EA is no different. It is a sound business practice IMO.

Your evaluation is horrible. He's showing "how you should not play the my player mode" that's why he's running around like a clown.

Grrrr just called my game shop and found out that 2k10 doesnt come out here (Gold Coast Australia) until the 9th

Are these gamespot guys seriously STILL complaing about free throws? 2K has had the most straight forward and natural FT mechanic in any basketball game for how many years now? Hold down the analog and release at the right time...WHY is this difficult? It's a perfect system and I hope these ridiculous complaints don't make them change it.

These guys praise fighting games for having 20+ button combos but can't seem to time a release properly. Aren't game reviewers supposed to be "professional" gamers?


Sorry for the mini rant but I just hate how millions of people read what these tools write. I'm sick of sports games being bashed for having deep controls.
