Meh - the controls and animations are still too sluggish for me. The movements have no "explosiveness" or "urgency." It feels like all the players are playing lazy or something - like it's a scrimmage game and they don't really care.

THIS i will agree on about nba 2k10 ...EXACTLY how i feel dude..I tryed playing the demo and you seeing what im seeing..I knew i wasnt tripping

Two things I'd like to know(I have ps3):

1. Why is the PS3 demo coming out 2 days after the game is released? Whats the point?

2. Does Rashard Lewis set up behind the 3 pt line in the demo like he does in real life on most possessions? I know in 2k almost all of the time the PF sets up on the opposite elbow of the center, but with the new playbooks and tendencies, Shard should be camping outide, is he?

Yes he does set up at the 3 pt line. Much to my chagrin while I was playing as the Lakers.

To those who have played 2k demos prior:

Do the demos always seem watered down than the final version? Can I expect the game to be alot better than the demo? I'm reading alot of complaints but positives at the same time. I'm getting the game regardless but just wondering if 2k has taken a step back this year or are people just nit picking?

Yes they usually are watered down. 2k9 demo lacked playcalling as well.

For those complainig about alley-oops I have seen 2 by the cpu in my 7 games(one to kobe and one to gasol). They both looked legitimate and believable. I've never been a fan of the alley oop mechanic though. I think earlier 2k's had it right where a oop occurred automatically based on timing and spacing when you passed it.

Almost as if it were planned...

My fault. I didn't even see your post.

You absolutely can NOT abuse Isomotion this year, it's great.

I was just hitting Kobe with some random moves with VC, in 2k9 something eventually would have worked and I'd be on my way to the basket, but he was able to cut off every move and then eventually forced a TO after about 5-6 moves.

It's amazing how much they've toned down the sliding.

I think 2K is squeezing Isomotion for every drop it can.

That engine needs to be scraped entirely and built from the ground up.

Fatal,

Someone posted an article here regarding an in depth look at 2k10 development. I wish I could give you the link. It's some where in the nba 2k forum. In the article they talk to one of the developers who mentions that he was looking at re-examining the whole dribble mechanic system for future titles. Your wish may not be far off.

I think 2K needs to retire Isomotion and develop a new locomotion scheme for the ball handlers. ..

A lot of people seem to be disappointed with 2k's lack of progress in dribbling control. The dribbling just feels very unresponsive and 2k hasn't really done much to innovate in that area in the last few years. Considering it's a weak point, it seems they should've added a lot to the dribbling by now.

Only to wait as my man gathers for a SET SHOT. I don't want to shoot a set shot. Maybe I've been spoiled by the other game. Probably wouldn't care had they not had it in their game and not had done it so well.

NOT good news. Obviously the A.I would never attempt those strips but "Cheesers" most certainly will and have last year. That was very annoying. SMH

Hmmm TMagic If I hadn't seen Mo execute that pumpfake and jumpshot with Roy in that vid I would be quite concerned with the Set Shot comment. I will only know I guess until I play for myself. I'm skipping the demo though...

That's a welcomed piece of info. I think 2K had solid gameplay for a few years and concentrated on Presentation for the last 2. I think controls have taken a huge hit because of that.

Yeah, i really don't like how you can't perform leaners and momentum shots at will. you should be able to shoot on the move whenever you want, but the game always forces you to shoot a slow, gathering "set shot."

Re: NBA 2K10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

Can't strip guys on the break at will on the final. In the games I've played against others online, you can't.

Fouls are definitely too low on default, though. Hopefully they can up them via a patch.

This is 2K9 in better court spacing, team specific tendencies and put back dunks. So if you liked 2K9, you will probably like this.
