NBA 2K10: Exclusive First Look (Gamespot)

Re: NBA 2K10 info this evening on Gamespot!

"The team took a look at all of the player models in NBA 2K10 and made size adjustments across the board, with the result of having a slightly more open feel to the play on the court."

So does that mean wingspan will actually matter this year? If so, that would be amazing

Re: NBA 2K10 info this evening on Gamespot!

after reading the article the game seems to be shaping up nicely. The be a pro mode sounds like it was really done right and not rushed, that makes me excited about it.

Re: NBA 2K10 info this evening on Gamespot!

New animations tie directly into the signature style feature that the NBA 2K series has been working off of for years now--this year, the series is expanding the feature into something Jones likes to call "signature play." The essential addition revolves around improved player tendencies. This year, the team went out and partnered up with the NBA scouting service 82Games.com to provide detailed breakdowns on every team and every player in the league. The result is a better and more detailed understanding of how a player reacts at any point on the floor, with answers to such questions as, "Where does a player typically like to get the ball?" "When does he spot up?" "When does he post up?" The result, on the offensive side, is that players familiar with their team's individual tendencies will know how to best utilize them and where. On the other side of the ball, if you're facing up against Paul Pierce controlled by the AI, you'll know his tendency will be either to push in and shoot or try a pro step move. And, depending on your position on the floor, you'll know how to try to stop him.

WOOOO!

It seems that they've added just about everything that people asked for.

Wow. I'm actually shocked that they got the D-League license. That's pretty crazy to me.

Faces are very on-point (Wade looks a little off, but Rn and Rose look AMAZING)... still think Live looks better though. The jersey textures in that first
Wade shot are nice, though I don't think it really looks like a real-life Heat jersey.. looks more like those "shimmer" material b-ball shorts you buy for $15 at FinishLine.

But whatever, I don't care that much about visuals... waiting for real information.

Also, LOL @ the jerseys still not sitting on their shoulders... how long has that been a problem? Jeez... look at Artest with the tin foil shorts crinkle from 2K7..

Stumble, I think the 2k vs Live graphics debate is like a "Who's the hottest girl debate" as far as who looks better: People may have their preferences but would you be upset if you got stuck with one or the other?:wink:

Re: NBA 2K10 info this evening on Gamespot!

Ok, I'm confused. What looks so different from 2K9? Yeah I see that they added some different looks in the menus but the graphics look the same to me. Forgive me but I'm not all that excited about the new gimicky features. I want to see if the sliding is gone. I want to see if the online server actually works this year. I want to see if the AI actually rotates on defense instead of just standing around like a bunch of idiots. I want to see some physics and collision detection. (I know that's all gameplay related) I'm just not really impressed yet so the screenshots are a waste of time for me.

I can understand that they are trying to make it look like they are at different parts of the court but the players look like they aren't really standing on the court. It looks a little weird to me.

Just my opinion.

If you actually read the article and complain that everything is gimmicky then there was no chance that you were going to buy the game anyway.

It's a preview

Re: NBA 2K10 info this evening on Gamespot!

I just hope the use of 82games.com is better than the Insider last year.

Still waiting on videos for both games, but it sounds like 2K did add a bunch of stuff that guys have been asking for here.

I checked in already, lol. Just finished reading and the game is sounding amazing so far. I can't wait to see what else they have up their sleeves. So far it seems like they addressed everything I had a problem with. Still have to see it in motion(gameplay), but it sounds like they've done it once again. I hope they've won me back this year. This looks like it's shaping up to be a GREAT year for hoops fans.

Re: NBA 2K10 info this evening on Gamespot!

Covered so much... But was hoping to see something about player movement.

Re: NBA 2K10 info this evening on Gamespot!

I'm happy that both games are shaping up to be better than the year before. The graphics debate is useless (everybody has their opinion) I'm glad they finally remove old animations and improving commentary. I guees it's time to go preorder.
