The fidelity of the graphics looks cheap

THAT'S PROBABLY because your looking at screens of the create a player. We all know the create a player's aren't nearly as detailed as the real ones because they're so customizable.

People, do you really think that they would let people who paid $5 for this get the editing options, career mode, etc., and then take it out of the full retail? This is just a way to wring an extra $5 out of their hardcore fanbase while giving them the chance to mess with some of the new features for a month or two before release.

They're not taking career mode or those editing options out for the final... that would be supremely stupid. This mode is just a way to develop your created career players for use in the final game.. they probably progress faster/start off better for career mode or something as a reward as well as having special achievements.

I'll probably get it just because I'm a fiend and it's $5. I like career modes anyway, so I'll probably get some mileage out of it if it's decent.

Stumble I am sure it doesn't hurt thier "stickiness" factor in getting guys who are only going to buy one game leaning towards their product before the two games hit the store shelves...

Yeah for sure.. it's a fairly smart strategy, assuming that Live doesn't release a pre-order demo a la Madden that comes out first (which I REALLY hope they do, since I'm dying to try that game). Good way to build anticipation and show off the game while making some extra scratch.. I don't knock the hustle.

At least it wasn't a damn riddle haha.

Yep, I think this might become a new trend

Re: Yahoo Finance? Article on NBA 2k10 Draft Combine

I need more answers!

Is this basically the association practice mode?

-more importantly-

Does this mean my loser friends can no longer create super players who are all 99's across the board?

Forget it. The 5 cents will be spent regardless.._

Re: Yahoo Finance? Article on NBA 2k10 Draft Combine

Not such a bad idea for 2k...I know i'll spend the money when the time comes, i'm too much of basketball junkie to just ignore it and let it float on by.

Re: Yahoo Finance? Article on NBA 2k10 Draft Combine

The idea is cool, I'll never use it, it would be nice if they put a code in to make the draft classes of CH 2k8 compatible with 2k10. I mean from the looks of the graphics it's still using the same ole' engine with those terrible models.

I'll buy it anyways, because I'm getting the collector's edition. Other than that, I can see not much as far as visual will be different. 3 games in a row and still they look the same.

Re: Yahoo Finance? Article on NBA 2k10 Draft Combine

This gives 2K a huge head start over the competitors. I dont think everything in this sku will be in NBA2K10, but i am sure the actual creation of the player will, but i am not so sure the rest will be. Imo, it shouldnt be.

This basically gives the people that want to play this a head start on the rest and for 5 dollars. the same ammount of cash people go out and put down to get the madden demo, when in all reality there is no reason in hell to ever preorder a madden game as they got so many, they wont run out lol IN the last 10 years the only game i had trouble getting was Street Fighter IV, but i think even capcom underestimated how well it was going to do.

Me neither. NBA 2K9 is the best looking basketball game I've ever seen.

Re: Yahoo Finance? Article on NBA 2k10 Draft Combine

2k9 and 2k10 look exactly the same!

2k7 looked decent, 2k8 was a minor improvement due to the better lighting and drop in crowd detail.

2k9 stole the crowd technology from CH 2k8 along with the crazy atmosphere, and it brighten the screen and added more detail to players faces. Shoes are still blurry, accessories have always looked painted on and the exact same tattoo options since 2k6.

2k series has barely improved each year, other than switching the button configuration, removing and adding animations, and changing the way it presents itself with flash.

I'm the biggest 2k guy and everyone on OS knows it, but it's really time to come with it. And Take Two still don't seem to care that NBA Series has competition and they need new technology, not just new animations and flashy download features.

I'll 4th that. Funny people trying to criticize the graphics when it smokes other games in side by side comparisons

Re: Yahoo Finance? Article on NBA 2k10 Draft Combine

How about releasing this where it isn't online for the few folk like me that don't have online... I guess I will have to get it if this turns out to be a nice feature.
