What i like is that SimBaller said speed is the hardest skill to raise. this is going to be great for centers.

It's still disheartening to me that we've heard nothing about gameplay or seen any videos. I'm a tad impatient considering the competition has released yet another video today (check out Live board). I'm pretty impressed with what they've done.

We had a gameplay video much earlier because of E3 last year.

We also had a few 'teaser' trailers in mid-late July.

Up to now? Draft Combine. I know more is coming, I just think its ludicrous that we get caught in the middle of this crud; in the end, we're the consumers, and we pay the money.

That gameplay video was leaked if i remember correctly. It wasnt ever supposed to make it out.

You pay the money is right, but their only obligation is to get you the infos/gameplay videos before the it comes out amirite? We as gamers want everything right now, but why? We will know all we need to know before the game comes out. Its not like they are hiding anything. Its their 10th anniversary edition.


You will know all you need to know before you go to the store and buy it. that is if you are buying it.

If the game was coming out next week then I would see your point but they have more than two months and they're having these things every week until then.

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.

I gotta agree, I am holding off on buying Madden for 2K10 and some other titles.

I love the blog idea, I'm just being impatient and a bit frustrated.
Seeing as most other games release info a long time before the game even comes out, but I'm used to it when it comes to 2k. It's a bit of a tease viewing Live's new videos and knowing what to expect from 2k but not being able to view it yet.

I don't need a reason to be convinced to buy this game, but I do want to see what kind of gameplay improvements are in store; and I don't think they have to do all kinds of marketing techniques in order to persuade avid 2k fans, let alone casuals.

Actually up until like the last two years, 2k hasn't been that great at marketing their game and the casuals buy Live. If they would have put some more time into doing the "free" advertising like blogs and releasing videos and such online, Live would be even deeper in a grave.

Re: First 2k Developer Insight: NBA2k10 Draft Combine

Yep we just don't have much to be excited about I mean info can only do so much trailers and gameplay videos is what gets people really excited most of the time.

Many casuals buy 2k as well because of word of mouth, a few of my friends only bought the game because I told them about it and they loved it.

You have no statistics to prove how many more casual fans buy Live over 2k; so I wouldn't spew out that sort of comment without fact or knowledge.

That's exactly how I feel to sum it up.

Live is showing their fans, "hey, you guys told us these things are problems, so let us give you a few videos showing you that we've addressed those problems".

2k could only do so much for their loyal fan base by showing a vid or two which highlight similar things or gameplay features; again, imho, no one here needs to be convinced to buy this game. I just don't think many people care for this wishy washy Draft Combine info, which seems like an excuse to 'hold us off for a while' and give them more time.

i know...it's just that a lot of people i know is so impressed with what live is doing and they're saying that it's over and i keep telling them that both games comes out at the same time 2k is just waiting until the time is right
