This was indeed on All Star and take if from someone who has played 30+ games of NBA 2k10 already this doesn't happen on Hall of Fame settings trust me. Defense wouldn't allow all the passing I saw in that vid. On Hall of Fame players play D period.

Obviously he doesnt work for EA cuz he doesnt have LIVE 10 yet and does 2k ..THat makes a lot of sense..

What are you his PR man? He is definitely an EA advocate. I could care no less what he says or posts concerning 2k sports games and I could care no less what makes sense to you.

Re: PastaPadre's NBA 2K10 Full NBA Finals Video

Umm well, this still doesn't help when playing online. Again, tweaking the game for small things like dunks in traffic or flashy passes is one thing, having to tweak the default sliders (that you're forced to play with online) to get halfway realistic FG% on higher difficulty levels is too much.

You have no idea how the game plays online or if FG% will be high when playing head to head. Its harder to exploit pick and rolls against a human opponent so that takes away a good part of what Pasta was doing to get high FG%. Also Sliders are available online. Why anyone would play randoms in any game is beyond me.

There has never been a game released that I havent had to tweak FG%. College Hoops, Live, ID all of them. Whats funny is I dont know where the line starts with you. Ive seen you and others excuse other games flaws by saying that sliders can fix things like game speed. So using sliders for game speed is ok but for FG% its too much?

Also what happened to you giving it a rest until the 1st patch?

Re: PastaPadre's NBA 2K10 Full NBA Finals Video

Really not feeling the atmosphere of a Game 7 NBA Finals game.....more disappointed about it because 2k said they worked so hard on their crowd. Its not that far off from last years....minimal improvements at best. The championship celebration also gets a thumbs down for me....it was pretty much the same as last year...nothing to say "OMG" about. And also no Finals Patch on the jersey.

I have to agree with this. Roy made the game winning shot with 3 seconds left and the crowd was like meh... You can hear a lone cowbell after the timeout.

I'm still buying this game, but I wish the crowd reacted more to the action on the court. It's just a bummer, I can live with it.

NO ONE has Live yet.

2k gave out copies to various media outlets.

It's really that cut and dry unless you'd like to spin it one way or another.

Re: PastaPadre's NBA 2K10 Full NBA Finals Video

The FG% will get cleared up. This is the same exact thing that happened last year. This will be a non-issue a month from now. And also the Tendancies and DNA have yet to kick in for this game. So we should just cool out on this subject, for now at least to we get better at D and Give 2k a chance to update the game.

From playing 2k games for years I know that how it plays now wont be how it plays a couple months from now. Things will get cleaned up, animations will get taken out and some will be added.

Re: PastaPadre's NBA 2K10 Full NBA Finals Video

That guy was not playing defense at all on Ray Allen. Why call a 2-3 and a 1-3-1? Also his shot selection was questionable for such a high FG% which makes me assume the difficulty is something for a novice.

Sliders people....Sliders.

speaking of which, i have a whole new mindset on the nba averages that we'll use as a gauge for sliders. I should post about them in the coming days

he doesnt even use isomotion all he does is get the ball pump fake then drive, or call a pick and roll

Of course I don't know that for sure... don't think anyone really does right now since there are so few people with the game... what's your point? We should all just shut up and stay quiet until playing the final I guess... funny, I thought this was a forum where you can post your opinions based on the information released... didn't realize we all had to wait to speak until the final comes out. I'm not claiming that the game is broken and will be horrible in retail, just commenting on what Pasta posted and nothing more... I can't judge the game until I play it myself in the retail, and I haven't.

For the record, I played with only game speed lowered a few clicks in Live 09 and had a good time. I didn't mess with sliders for 2K9 but used Nogster's rosters and whatnot to get the game to play decently since the slider tweaks seemed somewhat unpredictable (solve one problem, another comes up). Didn't touch Live 10 sliders in the demo aside from lowering game speed 4 clicks, which is a personal preference thing, not an issue of realism. And yeah, adjusting personal preference things including game speed is qualitatively different than adjusting something like FG% which can be directly compared to real life numbers... preferences vs. realism.

I've been sufficiently chased off here, so thanks guys. Enjoy the game.

Looks like it will be scary to play online..

Re: PastaPadre's NBA 2K10 Full NBA Finals Video

It's intriguing just how paranoid people are when it comes to their favorite sports games. Instead of admitting it is upsetting that the game allows such cheesing to happen, these people will question the authenticity of the video's source as if he definitely had some sort of agenda. Now, this cannot be proved, so it goes without saying that potentially false, libellous claims should be avoided.

The person who demonstrated 2K10's gameplay cheesed in order to win, and that's always troublesome, regardless of whether he likes the NBA Live series or not. Seeing somebody being able to score in the paint with such frequency and ease means that online games against randoms will continue to provide a dreadful experience, and leagues will once again be the only way to go.

Re: PastaPadre's NBA 2K10 Full NBA Finals Video

man take away the finals stickers and you would think this was a preseason game the way the crowd sounded...... also i guess there are not team colors in the crowd like a white out and stuff like that.

You need to read your own posts. You refuse to tweak the sliders and from videos determine the FG% is too high...therefore to you the game is broken since you are looking for a realistic experience. I never said that FG% isnt a problem. It very well could be. I guess I'd rather take the word of guys here who stated that the FG% can be fixed by sliders then a game played by a guy who didnt touch them.

Thats what kills me about some people on this forum. Pared said almost a week ago that FG% was too high on default and that sliders fix that. He said the same thing about fouls (Rebel_INS did too.) So why do you act as if this is something new when you see it a week later?

That preference v. realism argument doesnt work. You lower the game speed because the game plays too fast out of the box and thats not realistic. By lowering the game speed you are attempting to make the game more realistic. Its the same as lowering FG%.

Re: PastaPadre's NBA 2K10 Full NBA Finals Video

With all my respect...sliders can be a solution to suit the game to your own needs...but 70 to 80% Shooting is absolutely inacceptable, especially on Allstar...NO matter how Pasta played the game, Sim or not sim, good or bad...either way rather he or the AI should have way lower percentages. Defense doesn't have enough effect in the paint and open jumpers are almost a 90% sure deal...however, they shouldn't...

Moreover I always hated how 2k treated the shooting sliders...I always felt that they just take the strength off of somebodys shot, thus resulting in short shots, with got pretty ridiculous in the paint when the ball didn't even hit rim from 1 foot distance. This has always been annoying...(sorry off topic)

The Finals are very disappointing presentationwise. The only thing I really liked was the intro commentary, but everything else didn't impress me at all.

- The fans are still not wearing Teamcolors and do not wave towels. Theyre holding signs now, but just with the Team logo...basically no difference to regular games...besides the fact that theyre standing up.

- The sound of the crowd is surely more intense than in regular season games, however it's not even close to what it should be like...I also feel, that it's not getting brutally intense at the end of the game just like it shoud be in the last seconds of the NBA FINALS...Oh man 2k....

- Speaking of last seconds of the NBA FINALS...WTF...Brandon Roy scores a tough layup 3 seconds to the end of the NBA Finals and Kevin Harlan has nothing special to say about that...They made such great improvements with the commentary, yell their *** off if somebody dunks the heck out of the game, but when somebody scores the assumedly final bucket to win the NBA Championship with 3 sec on the clock they don't care? I am not even talking about the crowd anymore...well at least they were cheering...

- Yeah and of course the Celebration is simply boring...Kevin is talking about the NBA Champion, like he would talk about american history in front of a High School class without any emotions at all...Well at least the Blazers are jumping around a little like kindergarden kids who just won a dodgeball contest and the ceremony is so bad that you are almost glad it ended after 25 seconds...

Just to let you know the presentation of the Finals last year killed the last effort I wanted to put in this game a couple months ago...and I don't feel any better right now...

I just don't get it. I mean imagine you are like me, playing 82 games season with realistic minutes (10-12). This means you probably have to play like 3 or 4 months without simming anything...Then you actually win the whole deal and you get fobbed off with this...
