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

I do feel like I lose control of my players at times, but I would attribute that to the defense impeding my progress at times. Much better than last year, but it still needs work.

Appreciate the answer.

I noticed that there's a tendency for "Setup Pre-Dribble Pump Fake." Does that mean that the CPU won't pump fake off the dribble?

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

I tried to read as much as possible but after 10 million pages about headband color and more sideline people I got lazy and just decided to ask. How is the atmosphere? Is there a difference in feel between regualar season, playoffs, and Final games?

Unfortunately not, Pastapadre has posted his impressions on his own thread, and he basically said that the playoffs and the finals atmosphere did not change at all..he was playing finals..and the crowd only got excited during the 4th quarter..very disappointing.

Anyways...Im still getting the game, because the developers have put in a lot of good stuff and Im going to savor them all..

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

Hey guys, I'd like to ask....if you've done anything with online play, is the default difficulty setting for online ranked games still AS? If so, is there an option to change the difficulty for online ranked games to SS or HOF? That option was available for all 2Ks except for 2K9. Just wanted to know if they put it back in the game.

Edit: Thanks, in advance, for the reply.

How come when I downloaded the momentous trailer on xbox live For 2k10 I noticed that the Lakers paint color is the correct shade. But the vids i've seen of gameplay it has been purple. What's up with that?

2K has trouble with colors apparently

They really dropped the ball with that, lol...I'm goin to sleep on that note. I'll awake once the demo drops.

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

The purple they were using in the early trailers was way off too.

It needs to be lighter than what they have now and more of a blueish purple.

If you've played the Live 10 demo, they have it pretty well replicated.

Ok well ive read all 52 pages and first i would like to say do jersey's headbands and accesories affect the game that much? nah jus kidding but my thing is more of an addition question. Do they do the weekly wrap-up in association mode? I have been pushing this for bout two years since college hoops incorporated it in their game if it can be in college i kno it could b in the nba. does anyone esle other than me feeling like they are interested in highlight about other games round the league atleast the good ones from the week if someone went to overtime buzzer beater high point game wateva that would be cool to see atleast to me. hopefully someone else feels like me and wants it in the game. and top plays of the week i wanna see bron bron dunking on damon jones for his 28 10 10 game and not read bout it but maybe i this will get pushed to 2k from this forum cuz i dont kno who to contact and if i in the game den forgive my rant but i wanted to kno if weekly wrap ups were in the game? also jus thought do players show emotion after a game winner immediately or do they still let the ref get it b4 they start celebrating? thanks.

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

pared and mo..

long time lurker here.. first off - let me say that no amount of thanks does justice to the time/effort you guys are putting in while trying to share with us what the upcoming hoops game season looks like.. but for what its worth - thanks a ton guys!

now, to my q: maybe i'm not quite framing the thoughts in my head right.. but i've been reading everything you guys have ben putting out - along with the stuff on 2k10 from other sites, and i've been looking at the gameplay videos that have hit the web in recent time.. and i catch myself sayin - hmm, 2k9.5 maybe ?

Given the hours you guys have put into the game so far - is this truly a successor of 2k9 ? or do you guys feel this is a smaller iteration of the 2k series as we know it over the past 2-3 years ? I see sliding/uncontrolled animation, i see scoring in the paint (albeit toned down..), i hear some new lines in commentary but a lot of old, i see inbounding steals.. i'm sure this is more me being hesitant and once the demo hits, a lot will become clearer... but as far as gameplay goes this 'weight' and 'feel' that you guys talk about - is 2k10 that far ahead of 2k9 in the core aspect of gameplay ?

maybe i'm just expecting too much - but if i decided to pass of 2k10 and stick with the 2k7s-2k9s of past - will i be missing much ? (ok yeah, my player mode merits purchase in itself - but if the gameplay has the same issues, is it so different ?)

Apologies for the huge post, but i had to put this out there and hope you guys understand my question - i think i let eloquence get the better of me.

Thanks guys.

okay, i've read the initial demo impressions as well - and i feel a little nervous as my demo d/ls.. most of my concerns sound valid..

mo/pared, i know you guys are really stretched catering to everyone about here - but any comments on my original post will be much appreciated.

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

The commentary is just flat out amazing. You'll see in the full game.

I think only you will be able to be the real judge on what you're asking. The weight of the players is very noticeable to me, but I also don't go around trying to cheese the game. I've tried to do it, haven't had much success, but that has never been my MO when I play a game. I don't try to test out things typically. I check things here and there and post what I see. That's how I found the AI not reacting to the PnR accordingly.

Hope that helps. You don't have much longer to wait now.

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

Hey Pared...

Was just wondering if it was not to much to ask if you could let us know about the Free Agents in the game? maybe a list at each position or a couple Screen Shots if you have time?

[Pared]

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

Not the thread for this man. I can't take screen shots and I don't have the time to check it out. Sorry.

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

Pared,

Out of curiosity, what difficulty level were you playing the game on? I'm assuming the demo is on Pro, and not only is it extremely easy to score, but the CPU has been able to score effortlessly as well.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
