Wow, i was all pumped to see the difference in gameplay between it and 2k9 and it played basically the same, not saying it was a bad thing i was just expected a big difference.

kblidak welcome to the OS family. Although this may be the one site on the internet where your blanket statement that a lot of us don't play the game how it should be played could be considered a very poor assumption. Tons of sim ballers on this site.

anyway... welcome my man !!!

Your tact is indeed *********. I hope more will follow your example.

It seems like all of the Iso moves are LeftTrigger + LeftStick now. What a weird change. So RightTrigger is Turbo only?

Its also the modifier. You hold on left trigger to do crossover and spinmoves ect. You hold on both triggers(Ft+Rt) to do special crossover, behind the back ect,

I didn't see the Demo on Xbox Live Marketplace on my console, but you can get it from the website! I duarantee most of the people making negative comments don't like 2K, so please go to the next forum with your BS posts....how much EA paying ya'll...lol

I'm feeling the demo. The presentation is top notch for what is there. The graphics look really cleaned up and very smooth. A lot less jaggies this year. The cpu ai works hard on offense.

My only problem with the demo is that its in broadcast cam. I know it gives the game that watching on television feel, but its harder for me to pull off my iso moves. I like my left to be left and my right to be right.

Overall Great Demo. You will not get a good Vibe at first since it looks kinda like 2k9. Then you try to do things like you would do in 2k9 and they don't working properly making the game feel sluggish. Main thing will be the isomotion. In previous games the turbo trigger(Right Trigger) was also the basic isomotion with the other trigger being the modifier. Because they added a turbo meter for this game, that control scheme had to change; so they switch controls so that the turbo trigger will be the Advance isomotion modifier thus preventing us from depleting the turbo meter while just trying to do a basic crossover.

what a disappointment. felt way too similar to 2k9.

ill probably just end up getting 2k10 in a few months.

I think there has been improvement in all the departments...the AI is much better on fast break and the alley oop is easier but fun cos it blows you away. This game is going to be big thank God i pre ordered and save like £10 on it!lol

Is it confirmed that there are not plays ? also all kidding aside can someone tell me if their players are moving on their own defensively. Once I get my man in position if i don't move the stick he will move on his own. can someone verify that for me. I think It may just be my controller.

Edit it occurs when playing off ball defense.

Only played one game so far so no impressions just wanted to check on the plays and control. Presentation is TOP notch

Yep, no plays and the defender does move on his own. As the lakers, the magic players like to hang around the perimeter and if i move kobe closer to carter then let go of the stick, kobe slumps back to his regular distance.

I was taken aback a bit at first by the demo, but its just a learning curve. Isomotion alone used to allow you to get by your man, now you have to set him up ala NBA Live, and get by with the LS. The Isomotion moves are secondary, its really actually kind of similar to the way Live's works. On defense you have to learn when to body up your man, again its kind of like the live demo on the perimeter except there is a body up button.

Demo issues include Dwight always winning the tip (unless you play as the magic and let Bynum have it) and alleyoops to the trailing big man are pretty easy. Dwight had a putback dunk in each game i played against the magic. Also didn't like the lack of switching when I called a double team, so that might have to be done manually

Also:

Magic rain 3s.
Lakers run something resembling the triangle.
Kobe & VC's dunks are great, only had one questionable dunk with Kobe but it wasn't impossible and made sense given the situation.

Really another stripped down demo from 2K. Lacks all of the polish the final game has.

Played 4 games and it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Bad, meaning exactly like 2k9. The models and movement are pretty much the same, but you can tell 2K focused a lot on atmosphere in tis game. I played another game of the Live demo after playing the 4 games of 2k and saw that the ball and off the ball movement looked a lot better in 2k10.

Big thing for me, and this is only a personal opinion, is that for some reason I had more fun playing Live. It may only be because Live is so much different than in previous years that it feels the freshest. 2K is still the best put together game as a whole, but fun factor goes to Live IMO. I am not a Live fan boy or whatever internet geeks call them, but Live actually plays like a sim this year and is also fun.

I have a feeling a lot of people will feel this way. I have 2K coming from yourfree360games.com but if I was dropping $60 i'm not so sure I wouldn't go in with Live.

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

i took it hard baseline to the rack with vince and pau jumped over to take the charge but didnt get his feet out of the restricted area and i barreled him over. he injured his *** lol. he sat there holding his tailbone with this painful look on his face, looked just like gasol, i was lovin it. i only wish though that teammates and the team trainer etc... would have come to his aid, woulda been a nice addition to the realism rather than players getting injured and than everyone ignores him. maybe next year. anyway i got the and one and took gas hole out of the game.

im lovin the demo. looks smoother than 2k9, animations look great. i think kobes shot looks good, people whining are upset cause they are missing shots probably, not because it doesnt look like his shot. crowd and atmosphere are on point. cant wait to get my hands on the real deal.

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

i like people who say that 2k ruined kobe's shot, when he mo-capped it himself. btw i dont see the demo, im in the east coast

Exactly. Kobe came in and did some serious motion capture for 2k. So, if you don't his shot, blame it on Kobe - LOL!!! Tell Kobe he has his shot wrong.
