VC, needs to stop being cheap with the way they use Anti-Aliasing in their graphics engine. It's time to enable 4x AA & stop just using the FREE 2x AA these systems offer.

There should be no reason why jaggies are still prevelant in their games

Re: NBA 2K10 First Screenshot Released

yo im not trying to bash the game. all i said was the gameplay was better which means the game was more fluid thats all. And if 2k is soo great why do you have all these problems listed for them to fix. Now that we (nba live) have 2k's gameplay producer to come and make live more fluid thats all we needed to be back on top. For yall who said we dont know anything about the two games live already have a couple of blogs talking about what their adding to the game and changing. LIVE 10 IS GOING TO BE THE BEST!!!!!

I never said great, I said the game was good. Let's be real neither b-ball game was great last year.

I don't understand how one early screenshot can cause so much fussing, wait for some screens/gameplay vids from the final build.

You have already decided which b-ball game is getting your money this year, so why aren't you checking up on Live instead of coming to the 2kforums to talk about Live?

Back on topic

Both Lives and 2ks screen look great nothing fantastic about them but there early builds. Also with them both showing the LeBron pre-game chalk toss shows that there will be heavy competition.

Let's stop sticking to one game & realize EA & 2k are going to push each other. which in returns equals two great games for B-ball gamers/consumers.

Why can't we all appreciate that?

After all competition brings out the best in people a la Bird/Magic.

You serious? Garbage? Explain then why me and my buddy have had a blast with this game playing it for a straight 8 months and have had a league running for over a month. Nothing sim? Dude no offence but if YOU play sim then this game really shines. I'm sure your speaking off of pure Ranked matches where the cheesers come out to play. If you play player matches against a friend then this game is trully amazing. Never in an NBA video game before have i drove kicked the ball out, rotated it to the corner, pump faked and drove again and did a sick bounce pass inside for the dunk.

NO OTHER NBA GAME REPLiCATES INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS LIKE NBA 2K9. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY *** **** PLAYER IN THE GAME IS A UNIQUE PLAYER WITH DIFFERENT DRIBBLES, LAYUPS, DUNKS, SHOT ARCS, AND PASSES. It still blows my mind to this day playing the game and seeing new animations and reactions.

One more thing, the ball and rim physics are insane. Sometimes i believe NBA 2K9 has imported a real ball into the game. You can actually time your rebounds and be a beast on the bourds and outjump your opponents. I LOVE nba 2k9 and if they just improve the frame rate, polish the graphics, change up the defensive mechanics and add weight in the post NBA 2K10 WILL BE THE BEST BASKETBALL GAME EVERRRR MADDDEEE.

QFT!

This was 2k7, and the new shot to me doesn't even come close. I'm still waiting for any 2k game to look this good.

sorry, but that doesnt look better than the new screenshot nor does it look better than 2k9.

cant wait for more info.

Re: NBA 2K10 First Screenshot Released

I'm still trying to understand how anyone could say that the graphics weren't great in 2k9.

Yea I really don't understand that either. The game already has great graphics, so why is saying it looks like 2k9 a bad thing?

obviously there are way more live fans than 2k fans on this message board. us 2k gamers cant enjoy a screenshot without people bashing the game.

anyways game looks good hopefully they fixed the little things like the auto steal.. i never have a problem with the graphics.

Re: NBA 2K10 First Screenshot Released

Why does one have to be a Live fan or a 2k fan?

Why can't you guys just enjoy something for what it is? Must you be fans of a brand to also enjoy a small sample of their products?

I really dislike that mentality. It brings down the forums, IMO.

FWIW, I'm positive in what to expect with 2k10, but that picture, if you were to cut out the part of Lebron throwing out chalk, isn't that impressive.

But that's just it. It's a picture. Nothing more, nothing less.

I've only seen a small handful of guys really complain about the way the game looks. Seems to me it's about the way the game plays and I'm sure the developers know that. But again.... it's a picture. I don't see how anyone can come away impressed or dejected about the status of 2k10 and what the final product will be like based on a single screen shot of an unfinished game.

*sigh*

Re: NBA 2K10 First Screenshot Released

This is one area of video games analysis where I'm happy to be dilettante.

I look at NBA 2k's graphics and I think, "They're great"

I look at NBA Live graphics and I think, "They're great too"

The last time I was disappointed in the graphics of a sports game was Madden 96 for the PS1, and that game got canceled.

Bring on the 6 page blog on gameplay improvements. Yeah, yeah I know, give it a few months

Re: NBA 2K10 First Screenshot Released

...I want to see the NBA2K vs. NBA Live "battle" screenshot which would feature either Howard dunking on Kobe or vice versa. Those usually trickle out instead of a screenshot of the same player doing the same thing. I think that the competition is becoming fierce and we as the game lovers, consumers, etc. are benefiting...I wish it was like that with football...

Re: NBA 2K10 First Screenshot Released

Looks the same as 2k9. But thats a GOOD thing! I could really care less about the lebron tossing chalk thing. After seeing it twice, ur gonna skip through the pregame stuff, right??? So, its really not a big deal. 2k only did it to show EA "anything you can do I can do better" mentality which is awesome! This just means they are focusing on gameplay. 2k seems to understand what consumers want. I can't wait for 2k10!

Re: NBA 2K10 First Screenshot Released

Personally, for me the 2k9 graphics were good enough. A few faces and skin tones and body types needed to be looked at a bit, but other than that I am looking forward to seeing presentation aspects, franchise improvements, CAP improvements, and general gameplay improvements, and a rock solid 60FPS on the 2k cam. I just hope they really paid attention to certain gameplay elements which we have griped on for the past 7 months.

I think you are hitting it on the head. I hope you are right too.

[RaychelSnr]

IMHO, great post. If we get a chance, I want to do this with a few different screens and maybe even videos. Comparing games which look to be relatively close could be extremely valuable for you guys in determining what you want to buy if you are wondering where you want to go.

Of course, it'll also add fuel to the fire for the extremely loyal guys as well

What they should show is a screenshot of one of the courts. I would like confirmation on clear logos. The logos looked like blobs in 2k9
