Times like this make me proud to be a 360 owner.

Gamertom you sound a bit confused. Both systems have the Draft Combine add on. There is no playing through it to get to NBA 2k10 gameplay lol. There is another demo strickly for the full version of the game. Looks as if the Ps3 won't get it until NEXT Thursday though.

That's because it's a completely different game, young. 2k10 Draft Combine is completely different, and that's the demo you have.

NBA 2k10 doesn't currently have a demo on PSN.

OK thanks, that's why.

I wanted to check it out, I use to play the other B-ball game and have been seriously thinking of switching this year. Looks like I am actually.

ai2k2, yes I was and thanks but wow that would mean they are releasing the demo after the game release?

No demo for PS3 this late in the game is a very ominous sign.

If I owned a PS3 I'd rent or wait for the reviews on that system before proceeding with a purchase. This lack of demo could mean that the game lags/has framerate problems on the PS3 exceeding the problems some are reporting on the 360.

The lack of demo for PS3 could also be nothing and it's just some oversight issue with Sony, but I DOUBT IT. There hasn't even been an explanation...

Warning signs all over the place. My hope is that if there are issues with the game on either console, they can have a patch ready to go pretty soon after launch and not months afterward. I am really looking forward to the My Player mode. I hope that runs smooth at least.

I was thinking the same. Going to cancel my preorder now...

^^^ Lollll sorry but, I HAVE to laugh at you. Anyway, I played a few more games last night and I found the camera angle to be my only beef with the demo. I hate that you can't switch to the first defender back with direct switch and the R trigger anymore and with the camera like it is the other teams fast break tends to get behind me. Nitpicking but still....

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

Yeah, I'm probably about to cancel my pre-order, nd I was really, really pumped for this game. It's not like it's going to sellout off the shelves or anything, and with all the problems PS3 had pre-patch the fact they don't even want us to play the game before it releases is ridiculous. I know the demo wouldn't reveal problems like Association Drills and Quick Games constantly freezing (to the point my blu-ray drive broke and I had to repair it for $170), online lag to the point every shot release and free throw is different than offline, fuzzy courts...but still it's unsettling that last season's effort was subpar and now this year they're just totally ignorant to PS3 as if it were the Wii or PSP or something...I miss the PS2 days...

I agree. It was removed for offense as well. Unfortunately the "cheesers" were exploiting it.

As for Sony... this isn't the first game where they've lagged behind on demos, fellas. They just don't have a quick turnaround time on certain things, like demos and the such. That really falls on them...

**sportstek** · 10-01-2009, 12:07 PM

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

That could be true except that Sony released a demo for the other basketball game on time.

Well, let's just hope for the best. I have 360 anyway and even if there's some issues they will probably fix them quickly.

It just felt alot smoother...

That is not a demo, that is a demo of a DLC portion of the game. I want to see a demo, like the 360 got, where I am playing with real players, with an arena full of people, you know, like a demo of the real NBA 2k10 game!

Oh well, if 2kSports doesn't want us to play the game, before we buy it, it just makes my decision incredibly easy! I have a hard time paying $60 for a game that the Developers will not show a demo for, ESPECIALLY when they DID for the other console. I have bought the last 5 2k games, and I enjoyed them. But I also enjoyed the Live demo I got LAST WEEK. If I cannot play 2k10 before I buy it, then I am just a little worried. ESPECIALLY after many of the impressions here about bad framerates adn shooting percentages.

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

Well PS3 guys, somebody on 2k forums claimed they called Sony and the rep said the demo will be out at 7 PM est tonight...like normal....

Take it for what its worth, but I can believe it.

Hey whats up yall. I know there has been a lot of speculation about if the NBA 2k10 demo will drop. I been reading these fourms and people been saying that the demo wont drop because of the there was a update yesterday. Well I took it upon on myself to stop waiting for Ron and call Sony themselevs to ask about there updates and if they know anything about the NBA 2k10 demo. I spoke to a women and she stated that "Sony will have there regular scheudaled update today at 7 p.m. eastern and unless 2k delays for any reason, NBA 2k10 demo will be avalible for download." There you go because i acutally got banned from the forums because I am a diehard 2k fan and i was angry because there was no info about the ps3 demo. Well there you folks. 7p.m. eastern. Now we all can breathe again.

Is the retail version more like the draft combine or the demo? Because to me the combine felt a lot smoother than the demo

No. As a matter of fact, his release point is surprisingly quick. All of 2K10's jumpers seem alot faster.

Delonte's jumper still needs to be changed to Webster, but from the few games and scrimmages Ive done so far, the rest of the Cavs sig stuff is good.

Mo Williams shot release is even quicker than it was last year. It's literally a flick of the stick or a tap of the button. His leaners are nasty too.

thank u so much for answering that question!
