Gotta say that after playing the combine for a while that it is clearly a better basketball game than NBA 2K9.
Spacing is better, the game is more fluid, better animations, no more headless chooks charging into the paint non stop... I've never felt more like I am actually playing basketball than with this game.
As a lot of the long time guys here know, I was pretty dissapointed with NBA 2K9. IMO it was a huge step backwards for the series. Ridiculous defensive logic, even worse offensive logic from the AI. It was the first time ever with a 2K basketball game that I could barely get through a game without getting up and turning the PS3 off. In so many ways it was inferior to 2K's College basketball game that had died a season earlier. The thought of all the College Hoops guys working on 2K9 had me really exctited for it, but it was a massive let down.
I wasn't sure what to expect with NBA 2K10. I made a post about 6 months back saying that this series was treading water and that it needed to really go back to the drawing board and get the fundamentals back into the series.
It's only very early days and we really haven't seen much (any) media about 2K10.
But if the Draft Combine is anything to go by...it's fair to say that this series is back on track and we are going to be in for a hell of a basketball game this year.
The LIVE 10 hype meter is just about going through the stratosphere on these forums and it's reasonably clear that game is also going to be very good. (The benefit of releasing a lot of vids, people can see the improvements).
Hopefully 2K will release some info soon that shows similar improvements in this series. Personally speaking, I am a sceptic who has been won back over by the Combine...but it's time 2K started to release some info and showed us exactly what's been improved for 2K10.
