I can tell you. I been playing since friday. I was kind of scared of what would happen on release day. But last night I was played about 10 games. And I never felt any lag at all. It was like actually playing the game offline. Before the first game they was about 530 users online. Just before my last game there was about 1,200 users. And the game played the same way it did in the first game of the night. So I have to give some kudos to 2k. This has been a weak point in all of their games for a while now. I’m really happy with the way it plays. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

I tried getting in a 5 on 5 online game earlier and not enough people came in so I left. Gonna try again mid day when more people should have the game

I like how 2k has the invite a friend option for all of their modes in the mode, thats a HUGE plus and should have been implimented 2 years ago like all the other games on the market. Makes it so much easier to connect with people instead of having to MSN them or whatever to try and find them or them find you.

Could I ask you a favour???
Could you play against San Antonio and Boston and tell me how Parker and Rondo play???
Do they attack the rim or watch the others play like in 2k9???
Thanks

Yeah I'll try that out after I eat. I played as TP vs CP3 and TP is QUICK. CP3 runs a lot of the offence on NOH. Its pretty realistic in that they only run plays for CP3 West or Peja, and Okafor gets what Chandler got last year. I'd like it more if NOH ran more pick and rolls though, they run some but not enough. Im gonna go into coach profiles and see if run plays 100 will change that.

I'm very curious about TP and Rondo.
Sounds really good about Chris Paul.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

alright. Picked up the game at midnite.

The post up mechanic might be the best I have ever used. absolutely in love with it. Ah. Like the shot stick it will make it more difficult to play other games that don't use it.

Still not a fan of the auto post up in either game.

Beautiful animations. Wayyy to many alley oops.

not sure about controls and general player movement just yet.

Absolutely hate to have to adjust sliders to play now. Out of the first 4 hours I played i was honking around with sliders for a good amount of that time and I'm not a big slider guy. It would be difficult to play sim with this out of the box.

If you like or enjoy the other game and you want to enjoy 2k do yourself a favor. Go into practice mode and spend a good few hours in there and get re-acclimated to how 2k does basketball. It really helps and you gain more of an appreciation for what they are trying to do.

I can see how people who liked last years game will immediately fall in love with this years.

Shot blocking is still the bidness in this game.

while the alley oops are overdone.... The are beautiful to watch. I caught one after it hit the defenders hands who jumped to block it.

NICE !!!!!

edit

Framerate is really hurting my experience. the camera that has the least is my least favorite to play with. I really really really hope this gets patched and imho should not have been released like this for the second year in a row.

Its really bad in some camera angles. i know some say format your harddrive and delete your cache install on the harddrive say 3 hail marys and a benediction but that really should't be necessary imho.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

I really like this game, but the framerate issues are killing me.

I'm thinking about getting Live 10 just so I can play a smooth game right now, it's that bad.

I really don't understand how they can release a game 2 years in a row like this. It's actually much worse than 2k9, that game at least ran smoothly on broadcast cam. This better get patched ASAP!

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

I picked up the game this morning played a game or 2. I must say I am blown away.

Im not a diehard NBA fan and I havent really played a basketball videogame in quite some time. That being said Im not a guy you should talk to when trying to determine weather to buy the game or not.

If your casual like me, then I have to assume you will love the game. Its like no other sports game I have ever played. It looks like TV, and the announcers talking about the Pacers last game with the bulls was awesome.

after the 1st quarter they cut it out to cheryl miller who said she talked to granger before the game and he was looking forward to adding a pool to his new house he just bought lol, I was like wtf. this is epic.

I own both games and I don't think 2k plays like there real life counter as well as Live does.

As I played Live, it feels as though at times, players take their time holding the ball and not trying to create shots. It's more of a "stalling" situation instead of a "creation" situation to hog the time off the clock. Weird how they've done this in Live. You don't see it in 2k. players actually look for open men (Passing down low, kicking back out to the perimeter guy, cutting baseline, cutting towards the wing, fake cuts, in and outs, etc..)

Good deal! Not to get off topic but I was at Disneyland about 2 months ago and the teen Disney crowd kept using the word "epic". What happened to Cool or Bad Ash (censored)!?

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

Picked it up at lunch on the PS3. I was scared because the "other game" looked real good and people were hating on the demo for this game.

Once again I let the haters get me riled up for nothing. I got a PS3 so I don't see the framerate issues, but I havent played all stadiums either

My bad Pared. Good job staying on top of this. Makes for an organized discussion. Of course, it's your job. But a pretty hard job at that.

I think the only major complaint - which everyone has said so far - would be the lag effect in certain arenas. Apparently this is something that can be fixed if it pertains to what was the factor in last years issues. I believe they mentioned for the 2k cam: they had to zoomed it in a bit to fix the problem. If that's the case, zooming in a bit on broadcast cam wouldn't hurt anything for me as i really don't seem to play on any other camera mode.

First impressions?

After finally learning how to navigate the new menu system (it's a pain until you get the hang of it), I've been getting my Ric Flair on....

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
