OS Is Going To See NBA 2K10 This Week - Post Your Questions

[a walrus]

Hows the play in the paint.Can you lean or push to gain position.
Seeing Carmelo & Kobe go at it was a good display of what would be considerd good post defense/good post offense.How has this aspect of the game been improved.

What are some of the features that were not able to be included in 2k10.

Hows crowd reaction.I mean if your playing at home down by 30 with 24 turnovers will the guy still be waving the foam finger.

I would assume you study prior titles.Is the player development /scouting/practice/coach editing on par.......with say CH2K8.


Will defensive signature styles make it from the back of the box on to the finished product.

How do injuries play out.If Wade dislocates his shoulder will he get sent off in a wheel chair crying.

Can players become heated.Possibly get tangled up & seperated by the refs.What animations have been included to display this intensity.

Will there be online franchise? Will the NBA Today feature work with your online franchise, online league, or online association?

Re: OS Is Going To See NBA 2K10 This Week - Post Your Questions

Here are a couple of my random Q's:

1. How does the 'create-a-draft-class' work?

2. Do CAPs still have a gray sillhouette picture or has this been changed with the addition of the My Player career mode?

3a. From the screens we know that 'Off Hand Dribbling' and 'Ball Security' are some of the new attributes in 2k10. What other new attributes/tendencies have been added?
3b. Have the hidden attributes been made editable?

4. What is the complete list of signature styles? I don't mean the individual moves (like Bulldog and Rookie Guard 1 in this screenshot) but referring to the different categories (like Post Roll Right and Iso Stepback in the aforementioned screenshot)

5. Will NBA 2k10: Draft Combine be released in Europe, and if yes; when will it be released on the different platforms?

6. Have there been made any improvements to 'Create-A-Team'? And are we still limited to creating only 10?

7a. Has there been made changes/additions/improvements to Association mode?
7b. What's the level of D-League and Summer League integration in Association?
7c. Have 10-Day contracts been added?
7d. Have there been made any changes to the Draft?
7e. How will 'NBA Today'/dynamic commentary be handled in Association?

8. Will we have more control over the substitution pattern? Maybe the ability to control who starts and finishes each quarter?

9. Are we still limited to only three body types in 'Create-A-Player'?

10. Is 'Create Player' still at the bottom of the CAPs list? (this has really been annoying me...)

11. Will all players only have one position like we've seen in the Draft Combine screenies, or will the non-'Draft Combine' players still have a seconday position

12. Are we able to manage the individual team's draft picks outside of Association mode and can we trade more than 2 years into the future? I usually trade them around before I start Association mode, just to have it closer to reality and leveling the playing field between the teams

How has user control been addressed?
For example being locked into an animation

That is one of the questions I really want answered.

Re: OS Is Going To See NBA 2K10 This Week - Post Your Questions

Since 2k9 halftime show was pretty lame last year, i would like to know about there pre-game, half-time and post-game shows. Will there be actually announcers commentating or what we got last year?

[wiseman125]

Will players body parts go through eachother, or will game play come into effect and actually knock the player down or score and1?

Re: OS Is Going To See NBA 2K10 This Week - Post Your Questions

Will practice finally be integrated with The Association?

Will Real Time practice as they call it, affect player performance for upcoming games? Will I be able to scrimmage 5 on 5 with my selected team in Practice?

Regarding plays: Will we be able to run (start) plays from either side of the court, and not limited to one side, or one spot on the floor. I want variations of a play as well, in case the defense reacts to my first option.

When plays are run, will the players react faster this year and not use the entire shot clock just to run a simple play. Last year they moved like they had molasses in their shorts.

Will the 2k Insider also update the head coaches throughout the season as they are hired/fired? NBA coaches get fired so often, and I hate how late in the season when you are playing Association mode, half the managers are no longer really on their teams.

Could we also have real Assistant coaches as well, so that we can promote them or hire good assistant coaches from other teams to be the head coach of your team?

I would like to know if they have improved the spacing of players on the court.

Re: OS Is Going To See NBA 2K10 This Week - Post Your Questions

I have one question:

Will rookies have the random pictures again that look like 3 or 4 NBA players combined?

[tabulaRasa]

Re: OS Is Going To See NBA 2K10 This Week -- Post Your Questions

Are there any specific animations for the fast break?

When Mike Wang left how many VC employees cried?

Anyone with insight in the game industry know that "KEY PEOPLE" usually only are ordinary people with a mandate and a fat paycheck. The teams build the game and are the real important factor. If enough of the TEAM leaves then it´s fkked up.
There are only a very little group of KEY PEOPLE that actually make or break a company.


EA just paid WAng to try to buy themselfs some "cred".

Re: OS Is Going To See NBA 2K10 This Week - Post Your Questions

* can you play co-op online with a buddy against the CPU (with player lock)? in 2k9, the only way to do this was with "team up"...which left out a lot of the customization and control you have in regular custom games.

* is passing redone? corrected, enhanced, more realistic?

* contact, collision detection. Is there more contact, is it harder to get around a defender or do some animations just put you right by them again?

* does the "lock-on" defensive trigger feel different, or work differently this year? that feature really needs some work..


thanks OS!
