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

You can definitely shoot on the move in 2k10. you have to (while moving) push the right stick in the direction your moving to and he will perform a leaning jumper.

Vast I dont think thats what they meant

I think they mean for example when you're running and want to stop and pop... the sig shots in 2k makes the player stop, shuffle his feet and square up then shoot instead of doing it all in one motion, which gives the defense that split second to recover to contest

Didn't see it, but I read several comments on youtube by people saying they know he did it. I assume they're right, and anyway, it's common sense that he did his jumper himself. If he didn't, why would 2K change it?

And THIS is how the whole 2KSports mystique continues to grow. Urban legend starter kits....

Cant you fix the fouls through sliders?

Yes. But of course, if I say that, the typical response is "you can't use sliders in ranked play."

With fouls up, I have been getting called for a reach in on that play sometimes. Others they'll lose the ball, others they will miss the strip. More variation this year than last with the foul sliders up (to add in more reach fouls).

They were talking about leaners

For those wo have downloaded the demo. How different is 2K10 from 2K9? Does it feel the same? Any changes?

Yeah, Pared and I were messing around with that and cranked it up 2 78. Honestly it still seemed like the cpu doesn't commit enough fouls. I'm gonna shoot it up 2 90 just 2 see what kinda results I get...

As far as Kobe doing motion cap; one would think so but I doubt it cause they never made an official statement confirming that and if u had the cover boy up 4 mo-cap, I would think SOMEONE would've mentioned it by now. That said...I don't think there's a thing wrong with his jumper in the game.

I've skimmed through these impressions and I feel like demo isn't doing the game any justice. Seems like a lot's missing however I don't make it a habit 2 talk out my neck so I'm gonna d/l the demo when I get home 2 see where a lot of u are coming from....

I don't agree with how 2K did leaners and all. IMO, if you're pushing the left stick in a direction and you press the shot button, your momentum should force you to shoot a leaner/drifter/fadeaway/whatever. If you want to do a straight up jumper, then let go of the left analog stick when you shoot. I NEVER use shot stick except on breakaways to do a flashy or power dunk. It just doesn't feel right.

I hate to say it at the risk of creating a flame war, but I think Live did it the right way.

So all you guys saying is that Kobe only appears on the cover and that's all? I sure hope 2K didn't pay him too much...

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

impressions so far

the floor spacing is good

players move smoother (thank god)

the magic play like the magic

the jumpshots and dunk look good and put putbacks look awesome.

the net looks awesome

negatives:

i cant get to the rim or blow past anyone with isomotion

isomotion sucks after playing the nba live demo

a lot of lay ups on fastbreaks (kobe , artest)

arena looks ok NOT GREAT

the atmosphere isnt the best either compared to live

bottom line i think the atmosphere cant change due to no annoucing i hate isomotion tho i really do wow

i think the nba2k and the live gap has become smaller

Ur absolutely right...those leaners are something I still haven't totally gotten the hang of in 2K. Should've been easier 2 pull off...

[FatalHussien]

Aside from the obvious points in this thread, I wonder if 2K corrected the minor issues that seem to go unnoticed when summing-up the depth of their product.

1. Did they fix the player progression and the insane number of trades?

2. Did they address the problem where former rookies going into their sophomore season would have marginal stats at best?

3. Did they address the glitch where the shot chart would be missing some "X's" and "O's"?

4. Did they fix the substitution issue where subs wouldn't enter the game sometimes if you used the D-Pad?

If anyone has the game and has info on this, please comment. These are just a few points that I expect to be cleaned up for 2K10.

The demo is meh for me too. I can beat Vince Carter off the dribble over and over, but he will absolutely not back off me on the perimeter.

My only prob with the jumper is there seems to be too much space between his hands once he releases it.

Usually when a player releases the space is pretty small it makes the jumper look funky from certain angles.

It feels good when shooting it but it doesn't look all that great imo.
