NBA 2K10 Hands-On Preview (IGN)

07:51 PM - August 19, 2009 by mavsman1

IGN has posted their hands-on preview of NBA 2K10.

Quote:


	"The NBA 2K series has been pummeling NBA Live into the ground over the last few years. There's no doubt that Live is looking stronger than it has in a long while this season, but NBA 2K is aiming to raise the bar even higher with NBA 2K10. I recently spent some time at Visual Concepts to get my hands on a preview build of the game. And yes, I beat both developers that I played � though they always go easy on us journos. The first and probably most important new addition to the 2K formula is called NBA Today. It's both a small mode in the game and a feature that permeates just about every other game you'll play. From the main menu clicking on NBA Today will bring you to a list of real NBA games that are set to take place. For our purposes � and since the NBA season hasn't started yet � we were treated to a list of pre-season games. NBA Today not only keeps up with the current NBA schedule, but it also has an effect on things like franchise mode."

I'm not trying to call out the art team, because these pics look awesome overall.

--However--

Those socks are too thick and are lit wrong. They make the sneakers look like space boots.

What are you trying to accomplish here? Nobody is concerned that you hate the graphics so stop bashing posters that like them.

Jesus..can this not become yet another Live vs. 2k thread. If this is a preview of 2k let's keep the focus on 2k..

BOTH of them are supposed to stop him from dunking.

Lmao, my bad for posting that other thread.

The screens look good, but still hoping these are early pics. The jerseys still need a lot of work imo.

# 13 thmst30 @ 08/19/09 08:01 PM

Well. That was unfortunately not a very good preview. I know it's not the "final build" but some of those statements worry me for sure. In-game saves though are awesome!!!

I'vr seen Ray Allen or Rondo stop anyone from dunking, let alone Kobe.

Nobody asked you and nobody said you didn't have the money.

Like what is your purpose in this thread because obviously all your post is a bunch of bs about how the graphics are fake and quoting other people just to irk them.

Go watch spongebob or something.

F*** off dude damn.

Now back to this threads purpose, which is to discuss the ign preview for today.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

# 17 DocHolliday @ 08/19/09 08:03 PM

No contracts for "My Player" mode? No Negotiating? No getting traded or released? no asking for a trade? You just totally get to decide where you go? Why would you leave that out?

This better not turn into Madden Superstar mode.

sigh.

# 18 chadskee @ 08/19/09 08:03 PM

Meh, not much new info and the reviewer seemed fairly pessimistic. On the the next developer blog then?

# 19 infam0us @ 08/19/09 08:03 PM

How do you post up now if the Left trigger is for isomotion, should have left isomotion on the stick. Simplified buttons seem like they're dumbing it down so offense can be easier.

He didn't seem pessimistic, he's just the type of guy who abuses everything. The IGN guys are horrible at sports games.
