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

Is there a tutorial on how to do moves like there was in 2k9?

What's the deal with this Defensive Assist slider people are talking about? I know it helps out on D as the computer will move you around automatically in the correct positioning. At 0, it would be off, but what exactly would the difference be of say 50, and 100? Other than positioning, does it do anything else like make it easier to get steals, time rebound jumping, or anything like that?

Haha its ok man...I just keep getting the different answers. Some people say yes and some people say no. This would really make my 2k experience much easier. I usually play Live, but I switched due to association mode being insane, and I really want to be able to do isomotion effectively.

There is an alternate control scheme to change the dribble moves to the right joystick and one to change it to passing, however there will be no shot stick. Only the button configured shot. which is X on the 360. Hope that answers your question.

Pared i noticed that if you change the alley oops slider between 20 to 25 they happen but mostly on fast breaks. There is no half court alleys except rarely. Keep in mind I am playing on Hall of Fame difficulty with shooting slider adjustments.

Played this game on All-Star Level....Me (Nuggets) VS CPU (Jazz) ONLY lowered the shooting sliders each to 45 both ways and left everything else......GREAT GAME!!!!! Played this with 8 min. quarters by the way.

How are the controls? Are we still forced into locked animations?


For example, when I am on a fast break instead of getting an easy dunk or layup my guy runs into a defender forcing a foul or block and some cases a steal.

Hey Pared, how is the practice mode? Do you practice in an empty arena of the team, or is it a practice facility? Also are there practice jerseys in the game? And for my last question, like someone asked earlier, is there a tutorial to tell you how to do all the moves in the game?

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

Ive been noticing a few bugs and incorrect things since I got the game(been playing for about 5 days now)

1. In the paint framerate
2. Sometimes when looking at the "Awards Race" it does not tell you what award that you are looking at
3. In association when showing the stat line of the player the night before it says 0 points but the announcer does say the correct points the player scored
4. Some of the players have the wrong numbers or 2 people with the same number for example Antonio Daniels and Okafor both wear 50
5. One of the association years that I simmed Lebron won MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and heres the doozy Most Improved Player

Im sure all of that can get fixed with a patch and an update to the rosters of course besides that all in all its a great game.

Pared, have you seen any "dunk" situations that would have upset me?

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

Having been pretty dissapointed in 2k9 to the point where i didn't play much hoops for the last 6mths (tried live09 and it was pish) 2k10 is a definitely a step in the right direction.

I thought the Live10 demo was pretty sweet and was ready to consider switching over to EA this season if 2K didn't improve but 60 secs into my first game on 2k10 showed up Live10's faults immediately to me. EA have done well but it all feels far too scripted/generic to me .....dare i say it still 'more arcade' than 2k10.

Not that 2k10 is perfect but it does those things that make it feel less like a video game for me, player models are outstanding as is the sound of the ring & nets. Driving to the basket feels more natural and controlled this time out, laying off whilst airborne has tightened up and feels much nicer ....this is one of my biggest gripes with Live10 ....every drive & layup toward the basket feels the same every time ...the whole process for offence and defence feels more natural in 2k10 & with alot more variation.

ISOmotion is still a little clunky for me and this is the one are where i really think they could learn a thing or two from EA's implementation, it feels alot better than 2k9 in this regard but versus the stick it still feels a bit sloppy and at times frustrating but making LT the key modifier was a master stroke.

The post game also shows up the competition, just miles better.

And probably the thing i like best is the court spacing, no longer feels closed in and makes a massive difference - fastbreaks are killer ....poor shots get punished and you can run the break properly this time w/out the defence catching up everytime.

So i say well done to EA as Live has progresses massively and you can be happy with either game this year but 2K is still where it's at for realism for me.

Assists and Turnover numbers are still the same. I don't understand why they can't tone down the assist numbers. It is just ridiculous.

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

When checking plays do they show a movie or is it just like last year?

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

some minor bugs are annoying me.. especially in multiplayer me and my friend is playing and it start to like turbolag and speeds up and ****..and when someone scores sometimes they announce the first name as AL ... as in AL GORDON wtf???? n some other minor stuff but i hope we can get a update taking all this non-sense out... other than that, this game is a champ

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

I'd be very careful with the tweaking. I tried doing that and some things seem to mess up others. I don't think the sliders are cut and dry with how the AI works.

I dropped Alley Oops to 0 and the CPU started feeding everything in the paint.

Just a heads up...

Hmmm, that's very odd that that would happen.
