NBA 2K10 Q&A: Retail Copy in Hand

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

You can save Quick games in the middle of the game and come back to them later. SLICK!

Quick Question pared: Can you tell me if carmelo or Chris Paul have their jordans in the game? I didn't see these shoes in the DC demo... Thank you.

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

Hey Pared, did u notice if the CPU PG walks up the court as he brings the ball up after a made shot by the user?

In all the vids i've seen so far, the CPU PG would just run up the court unlike in 2K9 the PG would walk up the court and wave his hand around to call out a play.

Pared, do they still have the automatic "walk the ball up the court" animations? I haven't noticed them in any videos. Looks all manual.

If you're both asking the same thing, the CPU is bringing the ball up normal speed. Not walking, but not turboing.

The more its known the better chance of it being fixed soon after release. I'll quote the post as is. Just wanted to check with you first.

I agree. Respect that you asked too. Thanks.

regarding ur post about the headband problem Pared, btw thanks for addressing to my concern, i should say i couldn't disagree with you more. Hopefully 2ksports acts on it or a patch would be great eventually.

Yes, that's why I'm trying to be as detailed as possible.

So, I am able to control ONE player throughout the entire game?

All I want is a yes or no answer.

Yes.

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

Nah mine was for the user too. Like when you used to bring the ball up the court and automatic animation would kick in. That's what I'm asking about.

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

I can't figure out the accessories either. The only way you seem to be able to get white accessories on the road is to select White. You have the following options:

White/Black/Team Color/2nd Team Color.

This is a problem for a team like Boston. Their dominant color is green and their secondary color is white. So there is no way to get the white at home/black on the road combination without manually changing it each time.

Why can't 2k just do it like this:

Set up each jersey and specify it with a primary color and a secondary color. When you edit your player, have the following options:

White/Black/Primary jersey color/Secondary jersey color

AND

Allow the user to specify the primary jersey color and secondary jersey color somewhere.

Would make life THAT much easier.

It thought the entire purpose of Team color/2nd Team color was to allow changing colors with the jerseys.

Perhaps they did it with some teams. Boston was not one of them.

And you only get to see your away jersey in the Edit Player screen. Why can't I click in the left thumbstick, get a drop down menu and select the jersey the player is wearing so I can see how it looks? Right now I have to go into the game and check for each jersey.

Design decisions, fellas...

This is a great idea. I wish 2k would do this to, there are times each year waiting for the next NBA 2K to come out I wished for something like this. Hey Pared, this is something to remember should post this again when 2K11 forums start up.

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

sorry if you didn't answer on purpose, (as you might not hve tried the game on higher than allstar) if so just ignore me, but just incase

can you let us know if the PnR ease is apparent on superstar and HOF? as you have said it is on pro and all-star? (esp with jazz)

Oh yeah, absolutely. Move the left thumbstick slightly and they walk it up the court. The CPU doesn't do this often, if it ever, however.

Will do. Won't get to it until later today though, so check back then. I'm looking at other things now...

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

Oh ok thanx. Sounds like they removed them.

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

I'm a cleveland lover, and a boston *****.. i match them up most of the time because of the rivalry, and it sucks to know that they're the two teams affected by the headband issue.

One more question and i don't expect this to be answered quickly or before the game comes out coz i can wait to see it for myself.. BUT how does animation intro works if you put kobe (without sasha), garnett, lebron, wade, carter, duncan all on the same team? Will all of their animated intro go into effect while the camera focuses on each player simultaneously? LOL. i can imagine wade, carter, duncan in line to hang by the ring.

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

Pared I know u said not to reask questions but mine is way back in the thread and it might have been lost in the shuffle. It's the only question I have: can you and a friend play vs. The CPU in season or association games over the Internet. Sorry to ask twice, but like I said this with this thread being this big some things might get lost. I promise I won't ask again. Thanks for answering so many question
ns. Looks like a big pain in the arse

Ah thanks Pared for answering my qs, that sux that the CPU doesn't do that, i thought it added more authenticity when the CPU did that cause in a real NBA game the players want to conserve their energy and set up a play while walking up with the ball...

Maybe the CPU will start walking when you lower the game speed or sumthing.

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

I've been meaning to do that jr. My apologies and thanks for being patient.

Next opportunity I'll check for you guys.

Some thoughts on the defensive rotations:

There are times when players come over to help out and don't stand in the correct spots in a help scenario. It's fundamentally incorrect in some instances. When you get the game, you'll see what I mean.

Also, the help D tends to leave guys open on the perimeter a LOT. It's nice, but sometimes the help D isn't needed. This was something I felt Live did last year and I'm hoping they cleaned up.

Overall, I would say Live's help defense routines from last year were a bit better, but they also forced the shooter into a lot of bad shots against their will. I guess you guys have to pick your poison.

I think they may have changed it as a way to avoid the CPU from not being to run plays in time. They get to half court faster, they can set up faster. At least, that's the logic I would think they used.

I'm sure it aided in helping the players get to their spots to run a play.

Another thing on plays:

They break way too often. For seemingly no reason similar to last year. The only upside is the players don't stop moving this year. They keep trying to get open and create an opportunity to score.

Hey, if some can go through the thread and post the links to my comments I would appreciate it. I would like to organize my thoughts. Should've thought of that before.
