Nice preview, got a few laughs out of it too. Looking forward to seeing how this game turns out.

sounds like a better create a team

I completely over read that. That's pretty cool.

With their proposed better online functionality and small additions like these, online could be really fun this year. Hopefully they will rebound well from last year.

This was a great article. It really puts the player ratings in perspective from the Combine to the NBA. Its refreshing to know that my pre-drafted combine player could actually have a higher rating than a veteran NBA player.

With the new rating system, new tendencies and animations and 82games.com data, this truly sounds like this could be an all-new NBA game. I'm really looking forward to it.

Its great to read about all the improvements 2K has made with their new game, but that's all we've been doing so far...READING. I'm hoping 2K actually SHOWS these overly talked about improvements via some videos this week. We have about a month before it gets released its time for 2K to show us what they have to offer.

Outstanding article. I can't wait to get my hands on this game. I just hope I don't end up spending a buck and a quarter on NBA titles this year.

Damn you video game producers making good games!

LOL

Better find a buddy...Make him buy one while you buy the other...That's how I used to handle my video game purchasing.

Man i am not sold onto the comment made by Rob Jones because i remember last year, they say the same thing about 2K9...you know like the game is going to be fast like 2K7 blah blah blah..but when i played it damm...i was soo pissed again it looks and play just like 2K8 with players running up and down like they're dragging their legs through water. I am a big 2k7 fan and after all these years waiting and i am still here complaining about what the hell have they done to 2K7?? The producers need to realize that this is a VIDEO GAME!! And if you're going to make a game with realistic physics, you have to take into account of the fun factor. But when you present a game where weight and foot planting are involved...it tends to slow the game down and not fun anymore to play with because as a player, you're not able to do what you want to do INSTANTLY like you can with NBA2K7.

I mean i don't mind having great physics with legit weight factor, ect. involved....BUT if it is slow and uncontrollable or laggy..it ain't good!

From what i play of the NBA2k10 Combine...i don't see much different to the speed of the game?? So i am not sold!!

Another thing about NBA2k8 and NBA2k9 is that why are they making the game easy to make the basket?? In NBA 2k7, it takes skills to make shot even at the line. Some players require u to release the ball earlier and some require to hold down longer. At the line, same thing, it takes skills to shoot and remember how each player shoot...and i remember i have to practice constantly to try to perfect each player unique shot. But man, 2k8 and 2k9 they screwed up!! When you're open...it's pretty much automatic...which is ashamed because it doesn't reward you for your skills at making shots. This is another reason i am pissed at 2k8 and 2k9. It seems the developers are making a conscious effort to make the game easier for the noobies because they suck at 2k7!! Perhaps to cash in as much as they can and the way to do it is making the game easier to shoot so kids can play it too!! What a shamed!

To this date, my 2k8 and 2k9 are sitting on the shelf collecting dust while i am STILL playing 2k7!! Go figure!!

Their was a thread made a few weeks back titled " what are you most excited about" I said that Rob Jones is the Main Lead and if EA was to take one of these guys, I'm glad its Mike. It wasn't a knock on Mike, but a more altruistic feeling that Rob Jones would get back to his roots in College Hoops in making the game a more simulation experience. When you read these previews over the last week or so, you'll understand why I trust him in this aspect as well as his pedigree with CH 2K8.

Not to rain on your parade, but my guess is that that 2K10 is probably not going to be for you because the speed will probably be a lot slower than 2K9. The foot planting and weight will probably be even more of a factor than ever.

Most sports developers are going in the direction of having authenticity be the source of the fun factor, instead of lightning fast, twitch based, User control always outweighing the players skill set, governing gameplay. I for one am glad that is the case.

My sentiments exactly but what I haven't read before is how you'll be able to roll the ball up the court when trying to preserve clock on an inbound. Nice touch.

Also, anyone hear anything on when the demo drops? I know the PSN gets the combine this week, finally, but it's not the same. Any word?

you are right about reptile and by doing games the sim way (wich I like most too), this approach opens another nich or window of potential profits in terms of games like BIGS and STREET that focus prominently on the "fun" factor.

That's where the problem lie...because i am ABSOLUTELY certain that they can create a game that run fast like 2K7 and still maintain the physics weight factor whatever they want to throw in and for whatever reason they're not doing that. I don't know if i say this correctly but i do feel that 2k7 speed is more real and i don't feel the speed of 2k8 and 2k9 even as some claim it's fast. I don't know if it have to do with the dimension of the court or the size or whatever...i am just not feeling the speed. And i mean seriously, if you go watch a REAL NBA game right now in real full motion video and then come back and watch 2k8 and 2k9...the speed is not even close...it's more like 2k7. Maybe i guess 2k7 is easy to control the player and pretty much do whatever you want with him?? It's more quicker to move here and there...like you want it. 2k8 and 2k9, you're not feeling that at all......sorry!
