Interesting impressions from everyone. Can't wait to try it for myself.

I'm paying $9.99 for the PC version

May I ask where you are getting it for that price? Lowest I've seen is Amazon with 10 bucks off a future purchase, but I'd prefer the straight up 10 dollar price myself!

Game looks great. Only concern is that the organ doesn't sound authentic in Staples. Live 10 nailed it, as it sounds exactly like it was ripped from a Staples Center Laker game.

Demo looks great though, but I won't have a chance to play it because I got the RED RINGS

LOL....who said they strive for a default sim game? Thats horrible business. Everybody holds "Inside Drive" as one of the most sim basketball games ever and guess what? That game sold horribly compared to Live and 2k. Its the choice of selling tens of thousands of games or selling millions. Easy choice. I'm just happy they gives options through sliders to make the game as realistic as possible.

LOL U know I feel u man! People are just gonna ride this SIM horse til it dies...then what??

Oh and Inside Drive was my ***T! People don't know nuthin bout dat dere bwoooooy! :wink:

It's really hard to be impressed with something so bareboned, and something that's missing so many things (too many things IMO) that makes the retail what it is (played the retail.) I'll just say, for those who managed to get any enjoyment out of the demo, you're going to REALLY like the full version of this game. This demo is so stripped down and restricted, it can wind up doing more harm than good for 2K.

I'll take your word for it because I've been enjoying the demo very much. Can't wait to play listening to Harlam and Kellog...

Only if Isomotion didn't suck this badly.

I feel like 2K has began to rely very heavily on word of mouth and past success to push their marketing these days.

I think the result is that we end up with very little info until close to the release date so that any "issues" are minimized.

The issues are coming, as they do every year, but in this year in particular, 2K has done a terrible job in selling this product.

Is the spin easier to perform with Isomotion this time?

Much much much much much much much easier.

I think this is premature, I'm sure they are gonna start promoting this week or next...really what kind of promotion do they need to do with us diehards? We're still gonna do our due dilligence to figure it out ourselves. It's the new clients to 2k like I was last year (live forever) that they want to bring in and I'm sure Kobe already has commercials set up along the season.

I do see what people are saying about the alleys but the ai isn't exploiting it. I can do them at a pretty good rate (just hope it's because of difficulty level). I've never really had a grasp on isomotion so that hadn't changed (though I wish they could implement something like live has). But what's there is very solid for a bare-bones demo. Can't wait for oct. 6

i just wish they could fix the "too splashy for life" nets

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

i'm glad 2k chose the same teams for the demo as live we can compare them much better

2k is miles better

Its always the previous years champions in the demo, Every Sport game does that..

Game feels solid. The smaller players are good for this game. The controls feel tighter, and a bit more intuitive. The movement is a little jerky still. I like the defense assist, and players constantly moving. I like the Turbo meter. It adds more strategy. In short, it feels like a polished version of 2K9, and that is all.
And that makes it a purchase, for me, easily. No comparison, still. Hopefully, the cameras are good. Let's roll!
