I just played the demo and let me just say to the people who haven't played it yet. Wait
until you play it yourself before taking comments already posted in this thread seriously.
I thought it was going to be terrible after reading this thread.

But I don't know what game some of these people are playing. It doesn't feel like 2k9 at all. It's much
smoother and fluid. I'm impressed. But I will say for the first time in a long time, Its
a legit debate between Live and 2K

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 feel what your saying. Actually, I've felt that Live was the funner game the past couple of years. Don't get me wrong, 2K is sim to the bone, IMO, but Live is easier to pick up and play-which is a great thing. And I think this years Live demo is pretty cool. Alot of odd impressions about 2K10 so far. But, when I really think about what made me give up on 2K9......the laggy cameras, that's not enough for me to roll with Live. If 2K fixed the up and down cameras, I should be good to go. Can't wait try the demo in a few!

Exactly how I'm feeling.

I love how I thought that if I got doubled I could just kick it out to the open man, boy was I wrong.

Got doubled down in the post, twice.

First time, I saw Vince in the corner decided to swing it his way straight out of bounds the ball went.

Second time, I see Jameer open right side of the ft line try to get him the ball, lil sneaky Derek Fisher jumps in the passing lane, steals the ball, Lakers get a easy duece via fastbreak.

I'm loving it right now, even though I can't roll with my team(no plays to run).

general impression to this is good job to 2k10 and live needs to catch up once again. but they had good improvements tho... commentary on 2k10 is excellent..even tho it doesnt have it on demo... makes live looks like ***** lol

It plays really well, moves more fluid than last year, and plays closer to basketball than ever before.

Also they finally fixed the small numbers on back of jerseys and I have noticed zero blur on center court or any part of the court for that matter.

I like how the right stick is for fakes in the post. Graphics look sharp, the emotion engine is funny to watch. The lakers commited a foul and the cam panned to phil jackson's mug... It was classic.

The isomotion is still sluggish. I would want to drive after doing some moves but it still was not finishing its dribbling anitmations. The players feel like there on a treadmill sometimes when dribbling around defenders. The spin move is back. I hope they wont let you map that to a button for abuse.

I did not notice anyway to change the difficulty so the pick n rolls, and lead passes worked too easy. I did not like how on missed shots the defense looks slower then the offense to get back. Its turns the game into too many fast break opportunities. I would of liked to have tested these things on a higher difficulty.

For the most part auto post up worked once you wear near the paint. But on the perimeter it did not seem to kick in when i wanted it.

Not feeling the alley oop plays. The cpu kept lobbing nelson to howard like it was the and 1 tour. Then when im on offense trying to isomotion pass a defender i would automatically i guess by accident alley oop when i was not intending to do so. Hopefully on the harder difficulties the alley oop play will not be so succesful.

After the 7th time hearing the hey oh! it was tired already. I already heard it in other arena's from the videos posted. I would hope that some arena's have a different chant. The organs, and crowd do not sound as crisp, or authentic as the other b ball game.

Im still not sold on the game because of not being able to try the harder difficulties. Im going to rent the game first to see how the game plays on harder settings, and be able to use the play calling system.

Ohh the post game is feeling indignant ( awesome). I don't have the controls down yet but I just faked left and then hit Kobe's fadeaway. Very nice. I need another quarter man so I can play. just when i get it going the quarter ends.

The auto def movement is causing me to fight a bit more than i like for control off ball.

I am a big playbook guy too so I wish we had a few plays. I feel so unsim LOL.... love the post game so far though. auto post up is not my favorite in either game but I will give the 2k mechanic some time just like I did the other game before officially declaring my dislike for their autopost up. may just take some getting used to.

I kinda like Kobe's jumper... I guess I'm in the minority there.

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

i'm sad they they removed RB+RT for last man back on defense I guesss it will be easier or me when I can use my 2k cam

I love how you can actually shoot in front of the cpu and not get blocked 90% of the time like 2k9

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

2k needs a serious look at oops man....other then that i played the game yesterday and enjoyed so no new impressions but oops DEFINITELY should be looked at...

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

i love the way artest plays d in comparison w other players..nice

[sportyguyfl31]

Honestly, I do not think I am going to buy this. Still undecided. If this game was last years, game, I think I would be anticipating 2k10 more..but this year, Im just not.

I'll probably be on the fence, right up until release day...and I walk into gamestop. Post some impressions later.

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

Got my feet wet a little bit with this demo.. Like what I played. Like Czar said, need another Q, once you get going, it's over.

To me it's still alot of shots in the paint by the cpu, or it could just be my defense

i was watching other gameplay videos and i saw vast amount of playbook options you can pick from pg sg sf pf c all the positions have each 4 different plays you can run it's probably by how the team runs their plays for each position

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

OK, OK.....two words come to mind when fin playing the demo, and that is "WEREEEE BACK"

look, nba 2k10 is what people wanted mainly. And what people wanted was a fixed up version of the great 2k9. WELL, that what your gonna get with 2k10, a VERY STRONG FIXED up version of 2k9. To me it plays sooooo smooth now. I always play great my first time playing. I was the LAKERS and all my shots were from the perimiter, NO INSIDE forced shots. WE dont even have play calling in the demo an i was able to get clean looks. If you know basketball and how the rotation works, 2k10 has all the space in the world to get a open look. My 2nd game wasent to well, lol, i started MISSING ALL MY SHOTS (but like i said, i always play well my frist game). btw KOBE jumper is so sweet, you people are fool

THe AI magic team was sooo slick in the second games i played. The first game i played is was thinking to my self, "DAME THE AI IS WEAK", but i always play good on my first game. ALSO when i play nba 2k, for years i never use the steal button. I always let my team AI steal for me.....USING THE STEAL BUTTON AGAINST THE AI IS CHEATING, dont be wimps and use the steal button, thats just way to easy...chumps.....My first game i beat the magic 12 to 2, killed them....kobe was doing it all, turn around, perimiter jumper, fast break dunk......ONLY TWO DUNKS I SAW SO FAR and both were OPEN LOOK DUNKS..btw i only saw ONE ALLY and i played 5 games so far....

i gotta get use to the cross overs, but WOW, by mistake i did this LETHAL cross over with fisher and it left nelson stuned and the crowd FLIPPED. hell, i didnt even know how i did it, but it was cool as hell......
