Sort of like Iverson and practice....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGDBR2L5kzI

A DEMO not the FULL RETAIL VERSION GAME but a DEMO!

We talkin bout a DEMO man...Not full retail version..but A DEMO.

We talkin bout a demo man!

Btw...It's just a Demo my friends, it's not that serious. Just keep in mind it's a Demo.
Also there are a few folks on here with the full version and Steve has the beta ask them about things your concerned about. lol
I'm just trying to bring a little humor into this mine-field thread.
So enjoy!

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

finally both demos r out and so is the truth.nba 2k10 has done it again.with the comparison of both the obviousness of the style is very apparent.live is about moments they seek to make it fun by adding sick dunks and a lot of fast breaks,which is good but not real basketball.i feel like it is about picking ur favorite team and trying to outscore ur opponent while getting lots of highlight materials(way too much if u ask me)to keep u intertained.2k on the on the other hand is about team work defence forcing ur will and playing to the teams strength for victory.wins feel more accomplished by skills and basketball know how.
graphics is separated greatly 2.live character looks good no doubt but only as good as still images like in a book.nba 2k has that life like look (nicely done image matrix).
all in all both games r well developed only that nba 2 k10 is best developed.no better nba sim out there...and i say that with confidence.so it is easy to filter out the sim fans to basketball fans.they r not one in the same like i used to think.sime fans r the ones down for nba 2k this year basketball fans r leaning towards the more arcade nba live.sim fans have no prb with the slow pace real to life motions even if it is not fashy but simulated change of pace to quick step running floater in the paint compared to crossing over to btw the legs to round the back dribble drive to the basket and dunk on 3 ppl for 2 points of nba live.spend ur $60 bucks wisely.......... i will

The next post discussing Live in the 2k impressions thread will receive an infraction. I don't understand why people have to bring down one game to build up another.

If you guys can't refrain from that, we'll just start tightening the leash.

Is there an appropriate thread where we can compare the two games? Not being sarcastic here either. Its great to have a 2k discussion free of Live talk and vice-versa but many of us are attempting to decide which of the two games is going to be the right purchase. I didn't see a thread for this....could you link me up to the right place to indulge in the debate?

Great question. Guys should take a look at the Basketball: Other forum.

http://www.operationsports.com/forums/basketball-other/

Lots of great discussions there, including specific comparisons.

For OS people having already played the retail version: Could you play some games with the demo for let us know if there is any SIGNIFICANT difference in the gameplay (i.e. player movement and animations, help D, isomotion, etc.) between demo and the retail version?
Thanks in advance

Totally get what your saying but i think if an NBA game ever gets to the point where AI does exactly what the real NBA will do, does the videogame become less a game and more maybe computer program for coaches to use? Reading the impressions on this thread, it seems that people are more dissapointed in the tendency realism of the game. I thought NBA 2k9 was a great game and if NBA 2k10 is a polished NBA 2k9 then i wont be dissapointed.

The key point is the logic behind the motions.

I think a basketball game should fundamentally behave like a basketball game.

So, I think that's where true sim comes in. Before you can have the frills, you must nail basic parts of basketball such as defense, rotations, positioning, tendencies, etc.

I think 2K has been a victim of their own success. They raise the bar and now we as gamers expect much more these days b/c we know what is capable.

i guess nba 2k10 only needed one quarter to make sense of the directions they focus so hard to accomplished on(except the full package audio).5 on 5 ambience,offball and onball movements and player tendency.Bring on the full version is what i say

After playing 10+ games:

* How many of you beat D12 on tipoff? (so far D12 (CPU) 35 - Bynum (ME) 0

* As everyone mentioned, too many alley-oops
* Too many offensive rebounds? Even I had good box out on D12, he stil gets the ball..(this is huge issue for me in 2k9)

* I really hate auto control on the players... There are times I can't position myself right.

Other that those 4, the demo is really fun to play. Too bad you can't call offensive plays...

Using Kobe I'm seeing a TON of sweet jumper animations...I need to start trying them with Artest and Fisher.

"How many of you beat D12 on tipoff? (so far D12 (CPU) 35 - Bynum (ME) 0"

You have to press the button just before the ref throws the ball. I can't win the tipoff when I use the stick.

What I love about the NBA2K10 demo is:

- Limited turbo. Love it! Love it! Love it! Now turbo feels like a speed burst rather than the default speed with guys running around.

- If you leave someone open, they get the ball and score. It was similar with 2K9, you have to stick with your man or they dish him the ball.

- CPU running offense. The game has a more movement than it has in the past.

- Atmosphere - sounds good. From videos the announcing sounds good.

What I dislike:

- Too easy to drive inside for the score.

- Too many inside shots, layups, hitting the cutters with pinpoint passes. In the NBA they'd score inside every time if they could. But they can't. In the 2K10 demo the CPU goes inside too often because it's even too easy for them. Last year changing the sliders so the CPU would cut less made the CPU easier to beat.

- Shooting %. This is really a game killer. In 2K9 changing sliders didn't help. Making it harder to hit shots made it easier to beat the CPU.

I also really look forward to the My Player mode, and hope someone posts some videos.

2k has never handled rebounding to my liking. I only go back to 2k6, but it's been a problem every release.
