Maybe this has been asked, but did they fix Paul Pierce and Ray Allen's shots?

I remember being told Pierce has the same shot as last year and Ray's has been improved.

Re: NBA 2K10 Q&A: Retail Copy in Hand

hit and miss once again... some are hysterical yet still carry a likeliness of their true self.. Luke Ridnour is pink in the face lol.. Jamison looks like an old man.. with the new emotion system in place, it may be premature to call some of these failures.

a good job on the majority though

MO/or Pared

Hey quick ?

do they have sig defensive play styles?????

if so which ones standout any like Ron Artest or Shane Battier?

I meant to play Houston and check out Battier and I forgot. The "tough" defenders body up and create more deflections and play the lanes more. They also lose their man defensively and come over to help more than others. It's a very slight thing to notice, but it's there.

question regarding framerate issues

is it online only or does it affect online play also?

I had the same experience online as I did offline. Here's a positive note, I saved the game to my HD and noticed no lag while offline after that. But I only had the chance to play one game after I saved it the 360 HD.

I'd like to know if either of you have loaded your players from the Combine yet. If so what's been your experience with that mode?

I went through the MyPlayer mode slightly. It's very cool. I don't want to ruin it, so I'll put it in the spoiler below:

Spoiler

You start off at the draft podium watching Stern stand and "announce" each individual player from the '09 draft. They don't go up and shake hands or anything, it's pretty much a static screen with the names being announced. Stern doesn't talk, either.

I was drafted by the Bobcats (UGH!) in the 2nd round. I started off having to play Summer Games.

This mode is extremely well done considering it was a one year effort. I'm excited just thinking about the possibility.

Are there cyberfaces for CAP or is it still a dark silhouette?

Thanks is advance Mo and Pared and I appreciate what yall are doing.

I'll have to put this on the list.

All I wanna know is in regard to the All Star Game/Rookie-Soph Challenge:

Is the presentation the same as a regular game, or All Star specific?

Do the crowds still boo the "road" team or are they pretty neutral considering its an All Star Game?

Are they in Dallas Stadium?


-Thanks

On the list... Rebel INS played an AS game at the launch event, maybe he can help answer this one.

Is the super-CHEEZY steal from behind still in there?? Please say NO, even if it is...lol

lol Well, it's sort of still there. The animation is cut down and once your player is past him off the dribble, you can break out of it and continue dribbling. It's not as long as it was last year.

I got a couple of questions for whoever has the game. I'll be working on some accessory thread since i see a bit of confusion with them this year, so it'd be much appreciated if someone could answer me this:
1. can someone post a list of the new kicks that didn't appear in DC?
2. Is the long sock glitch fixed in the game?
3. Is there some way to make white arm sleeves for home switch automatically to black for away games?

thanx for your hard work!

1. I'm not listing the sneakers.
2. What glitch? I didn't see any issue with the players wearing long socks.
3. I tried a few minutes to figure this out and could not. It doesn't seem that way.

1. any word on playoff/finals atmosphere (do the crowds wear team colors, do they act differently in the playoffs.. in the sense of cheering louder etc etc)!?

2. how much better are the graphics compared to 2k9? do they look more impressive than last year?

3. does it feel like a new game? do you see things that make you go "wow thats new", does the overall experience feel more advanced?

Graphics are THAT much better than 2k9. The courts are all high-res. and look just as impressive as Live's courts. I was actually surprised.

The game doesn't feel new to me but here's the catch: anyone who has played with me know that I used sliders to change 2k9. 2k10, out of the box, has a eerily similar feeling to how I had 2k9 adjusted. The game is slower and more deliberate. It's definitely trying to cater to the simulation style crowd.

i haven't got the game but can tell you it was just them playing stupid. and if some reason this wasn't the case, and the game always plays like that, then im sure Pared and Mo would have already thrown this game in the trash.

the way they played it made it look like a bad nba street,

Yes, they play the game at a higher speed (+15). I've played it at default the speed makes a HUGE difference.

anybody saw any matchup-based assignements by the CPU ? A SG guarding a PG or a SF, maybe C and PF switching their matchups ? (not in Pick and Roll situations on switches but in general)

Not on purpose. They switch due to the help defense routines and are smart enough to switch out. I've called an Iso when I've had a big man one on one due to a bad switch and the defending PG continually tries to make his way over to initiate a switch (realistically). They are definitely aware of mismatches defensively.

Does Paul Pierce have a new jumpshot
Or is it the same as last year??
Live seem to have a good representation of his jumper

I think he does. Here is a look at his fadeaway:

A while back we read that the guys at 2k were trying to get David Stern's voice for the draft in 2k10, did this end up being in the game?

Didn't make it in.

Pared, Mo, Steve Barnett

Questions:

1. How cheesable is this game? Potential. Can you see any possible ways the cheese dudes can ruin the random online experience? Any crazy dunks in traffic like last few years? I know a few folks on here said that once their CAP was in the 60s for dunks, they were able to dunk at will. Is this the case now?

2. How are the non steal turnovers? I know they were present in the DC, but I attributed that to bad players trying to make plays.

I definitely am not seeing dunks in traffic. Granted, I'm not trying to do it, but there is a definite need to have a clear path to the basket to initiate a dunk it seems.

There are turnovers, but they certainly need to be increased. I had to up the fouls because they are barely called on default.

Fellas,

Here's some media I uploaded in game:

You can find a ton of pictures from my Bulls-Celtics game there.

Re: NBA 2K10 Q&A: Retail Copy in Hand

Haha Pared, had anything extraordinary happen during those games?

Just me getting blown out on AS. The CPU is really good. PIP have been low... they are just killing me with the in and out game.

Maybe this has been asked, but did they fix Paul Pierce and Ray Allen's shots?

Ray Allen's jump shot is certainly different. Lightning fast, too.

I think Pierce's is different. Didn't look the same to me.

hit and miss once again... some are hysterical yet still carry a likeliness of their true self.. Luke Ridnour is pink in the face lol.. Jamison looks like an old man.. with the new emotion system in place, it may be premature to call some of these failures.

a good job on the majority though

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it is. I'd say there are more "wrong faces" this year than last, but a lot of it has to do with the expressions. They're always doing something. Had someone (can't recall who) take a deep breath while at the FT line and puff his cheeks (wasn't Lebron).

thanks for the answer. Follow up as my initial meaning was another one (certainly glad about that aspect though !) : Does the CPU assign different matchups than PG/PG, SG/SG etc. I can go into the strategy screen and assign my SG to guard the PG or my Center to guard the PF.
Does the CPU do that as well ? That was allways missing in the games. Battier should allways guard the other teams best wingplayer, no matter if SG or SF.

Re: NBA 2K10 Q&A: Retail Copy in Hand

I'm going to try and catch up on questions now. Give me a few minutes. The OS upgrade last night allowed me to play a few games.

Thanks for the work you and guys who have the game already are putting in. Sacrificing your personal gameplay time to answer what can be tedius questions is why the OS is the best !!!

Shots out to Mo and everyone else putting in work for us !!!

Re: NBA 2K10 Q&A: Retail Copy in Hand

From the vids ive seen when playing defense it looks like the momentum takes you out of the play...i thought it was easier to stay in front of your man?

i guess my question is playing defense fun? i always switch to whomever has the ball...i like the challenge

have you tried other camera angles? i like Showtime cam since thats a little closer to the action...

[Mintsa]

Re: NBA 2K10 Q&A: Retail Copy in Hand

I noticed on one of the konsolekings vids that during the Twolves vs Raps game....the stadium "intro" lights were on during some of the gameplay ???

Is a beta glitch ???

Pared/Mo doyou see this in your copies of the game ??

Sorry man, must've missed it. It's there, LT+half circle. LT+RT+half circle gives you behind the back. I think it may be ratings related, because I couldn't do it with everyone. Not quite sure though, honestly, as I wasn't looking for it. I just know it wasn't working with everyone (like some big men).

thanks for the answer. Follow up as my initial meaning was another one (certainly glad about that aspect though !) : Does the CPU assign different matchups than PG/PG, SG/SG etc. I can go into the strategy screen and assign my SG to guard the PG or my Center to guard the PF.

That's just it, I didn't notice it because the help defense always had guys picking up a man. I'll try and look for it, but it's hard when you are trying to win a game.

It's all for the love, baby!!

One thing to note.. the double teams. No longer a canimation. Controllable with the LB (I think that's the button) and you can tap it again to cancel. The only thing I don't like is the help defense won't recognize the fact that you're doing a double team. So there is a guy wide open and once the pass is made, then help defense comes over. I would have liked to see the CPU cheat a little.

They were not picking this up when I played a game with MC. It might be done on purpose to avoid abuse, but to me it's also not a realistic portrayal of fundamental help defense.

Oh, as for your question about cheese DC. Long passes are more errant and the big men in the paint are deflecting a LOT more passes than any year previously. I still think sliders are need to get the correct shooting %'s as the CPU hits more shots when they are open than they should (again, IMO). I'll try and have some sliders out for you guys that way you will be ready come release. I've already made some slight changes, but they have improved the game immensely for me.

Again though, out of the box, this is a more realistic representation of NBA basketball than 2k9. It's just getting that much better with a few tweaks.

Defense is definitely challenging. The thing that I like about it is the players can really body up. Momentum on defense will definitely take some getting used to. The fact that people aren't really going through each other like in 2k9 makes a huge difference. I think I did see one or two instances where this happened, but it's nowhere as bad that it would be a complaint.

I've tried other camera angles but I have gone back to Broadcast because I was getting slowdown in them. However, this was before I put the game on my hard drive. I need to go back and take a look. I did not notice any slowdown once the game was on the hard drive, but that was only one game.

I have not noticed this. In fact, I've noticed the lights fading off numerous times as it's a very nice addition to the game graphically. I did play at Toronto yesterday as well. Got spanked by the Cavs.

Oh, and a patch went live yesterday. Not sure what it did, but you'll have one available for you guys as soon as you put the game in.

Re: NBA 2k10 Q&A - Full Game

Alright, just did a little testing..to Ray and anyone else interested, you cannot go into CAP mode and change the acc. colors from a color picker or anything like that, you can only choose white, black, team and 2nd team. The color will change depending on the jersey you pick, I only tested sleeves but I assume it works the same for all accessories. I threw this together real quick so you have an idea:

that dosent make any sense. pared states that you cannot change headband colors, and your saying we can. please post a screenshot or a video to prove this, so for example if i was the Raptors and i chose a red headband for home games wud it stay red for home games? or wud it change back to its default color? thanks

Re: NBA 2k10 Q&A - Full Game

A patch? Already?
