NBA Developer Insight: NBA 2K10: Draft Combine, Part I

Re: First 2k Developer Insight: NBA2k10 Draft Combine

I'm just guessing, but if you can only have one player uploaded at a time why have multiple players created players at once.

So you can still play the Combine? I'm getting the feeling, that most people think you can create one player. Then play through the drills and scrimmages, and that's it.

I'm saying (Gamespot preview), that I'm pretty sure you can create as many players as you want, but can only import one from the Combine to 2k10. I'm hoping this is the case at least, that way I can create a player or two at every position and pick the one I like the best.

Re: First 2k Developer Insight: NBA2k10 Draft Combine

One thing that got me thinking. This comes out as early as August 26th. Taking that in mind, does that mean that gameplay for 2K10 is finished? With all the new adjustments(different types of players, more sig shot spots to change, etc.), I find that it would be hard to not have a complete gameplay version of 2K10 running on this.

I know it says you get the core gameplay of it, but what would be missing out of the gameplay? I would think that if someone buys this, albeit it only being 5 bucks, and doesn't like the gameplay, then that may sway someone whose on the shelf about this game to not buy it. I'm going to buy these both because this is only 5 bucks and I can't stand playing Live (I don't really get the fascination over Live, but I don't want to get into one of those), but I have been a 2K guy since the first one on Dreamcast came out.

Re: First 2k Developer Insight: NBA2k10 Draft Combine

I still am not clear is this just a way to gain bonus points before entering My Player or do you need download the Draft Combine in order to access My Player? I am leaning towards the notion that this is just a way to get our hands on 2K10 and boost up your player in the process.

The other thing is I wonder how hard it is going to be to create a Dirk type player the way that Simballer made it sound was that it is going to be way to hard to attempt, but nonetheless I will probably attempt it.

I'm guessing there is a different thing for the "My Player" on 2k10. Maybe you don't get to do the scrimmages or as many drills or something, making it harder to be drafted?

And I'm skeptical on how hard it really will be to make a Dirk type of player, or even a rebounding point guard. Being able to play with your player online to gain points, I'm thinking it'll just be time consuming, and not really that hard to achieve. It'll be fun to make a player like that though.

Yes.

Both Live and NBA2K10 are pretty much finished at this point.

Both dev. teams are probably just testing the games for bugs and any other issues.

Re: First 2k Developer Insight: NBA2k10 Draft Combine

About what I expected. I still would like to get a confirmation that the player creator in the Draft Combine is the same that will be in game for NBA 2k10.

Cdiddy usually when someone says I've been a 2k guy since dreamcast its supposed to be followed up with a good ol 2k bashing...so you're doing it wrong lol

Hmm when I read that its goin to be the core gameplay does that mean 2k is not going to release a demo?

Thanks, I kinda figured it since a game usually goes "Gold" about a month or two before it comes out, which means it will go Gold soon. It just got me thinking when he also said "to get their hands on core NBA 2K10 game play"

Lol and I know that usually a 2K bashing comes along, but now really isn't the time and place for that.

So when your "Player" gets drafted is it going to be in the 10-11' season??

Hasn't been said yet.

Re: First 2k Developer Insight: NBA2k10 Draft Combine

So exactly what is the point of uploading your player to the 2K10 server? Is it for the draft for others' games or what? That's what I'm trying to figure out what that's all about. I'm lost on that level. Also, which draft will it be for anyway? Is there going to be a draft going before we start the season? Didn't they do that in Live 07? I'm puzzled. I hope that Thursday opens up a lot of information.

Yeah, sounds like a pretty big risk if you ask me. What if people get tired of the gameplay before it comes out also? I thought this was being released maybe around the middle of sep.

Yeah, i'm wondering if there is some secret online mode 2k has planned. Maybe it's just to compare your career to others or something.

Re: First 2k Developer Insight: NBA2k10 Draft Combine

Uploading your player is simply how you continue your career when the full version of NBA 2K10 hits. There's a little more to it than just that, but we'll go into that much later.

Re: First 2k Developer Insight: NBA2k10 Draft Combine

You are killing me. Thursday is going to be interesting. I hope you are given the green light. Good article.

Re: First 2k Developer Insight: NBA2k10 Draft Combine

Lol I think i'm actually looking forward to this demo game more than Madden.

Maybe that's just because I prefer basketball games over football though.
