    Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

    I didn't get to play the demo before renting.

    1st game Thunder vs. Kings

    I'll post as I go.

    7 minute quaters.

    No Sonics jersery.
    It's cool they know it's tuesday.
    Oh lawd! The framerate on the opening!
    Sure is bright in here,don't like that cam. Switching to press.
    Oh lawd! The framerate in game.
    Snatched an alley oop from the AI that was cool but seeing them try it their first play without the setup was bad.
    I've now missed 3 open shots and a lay up.
    AI tries to alleyoop on their 2nd play and the pass is blocked.
    Martin warps under the basket and gets a layup. Nice.
    Went back to broadcast cam. Press was unplayable.

    21-20 Kings after 1. They're shooting 73% and 56% for me.
    Only one foul called with one trip to the line.
    Should also note I didn't get the book with my rental so don't know all the controls.

    Martin did some funny dance along the baseline and jacked up a shot that hit the side of the board.
    Auto-subs AND auto-time outs are on even though I've turned them off on the main menu before starting.
    Then none of my subs take.
    Then I call another TO and they don't take AGAIN.
    Had to intentionally foul and they STILL didn't get in.
    Another one and FINALLY they get in there. (Because I've realized there's pretty much no fouls called anyway)
    There goes the framerate again.
    I seem to be having problems with the pump fake happening instead of actually shooting.
    Evans just did the same thing Martin did earlier.

    46-33 Thunder at the half.
    60% for me and now 50% for them.
    Still only 1 non intentional foul.
    Don't get to make half time subs anymore.
    I'm hating the player movement,it doesn't feel good at all.
    Menus are awful of course but I knew that from the NHL game.
    Thankfully no more alley oop attempts.

    Nocioni just dunked,don't think that's right.
    Yay another foul. That's 2 now.
    The framerate dives again on one of the FTs.
    This doesn't really feel like 2K8 or 2K9 and it's better than the draft combine but it's reminding me of Live 07/08.
    Spencer Hawes drains a contest 3.
    DJ White drains an uncontested 3. (Yah,yah I forgot he was in there and thought it was Green or Durant)
    The announcers say he's not gonna let anyone get the best of him and he'll trade 3's with you all game.

    70-58 after 3.
    Green missed a wide open 3,Westbrook got the rebound and did a straight sick dunk. The framerate dived again during the dunk so it looked like they were in the matrix or something.
    Apprently Westbrook is famous for getting rebounds and doing dunks.
    I really like that reggae song on there,dunno what it is but they're playing it during a time out and I heard on the menu earlier.
    Dunno what that just was. They called a TO,inbounded,Hawes stood there with it,passed it to Udrih who stood there with it even longer,passed it Evans who stood there with it,started driving and then back to Udrih for a contested 3 that went in. That ain't right!
    Should be more desperation being down 15 with 2 minutes to go.
    Now they're down 12 with about 1:10 and still standing around with it.
    Oh snap! Westbrook just completly broke off Nocioni,shook him BOTH left and right then dunked on Thompson with the and 1. That was the nastiest thing I've ever seen in a 2K game. Good thing it wasn't in franchise or he'd get suspended 5 games for that!

    92-75 final for me/Thunder.
    Westbrook player of the game. 30 pts,8 ast,6 reb,3 stl
    Durant had 21,3 reb,1 ast and 2 stl
    Harden with 16,5 reb and 3 ast

    For the Kings
    Martin had 24,3 ast,3 stl
    Evans 18,2 ast,2 stl

    Thunder 40/63 63%,6/19 from 3 31%,23 ast,10 TO,4 fouls (2 intentional),26 reb,4 blk
    Kings 34/63 53%,7/15 from 3 46%,22 ast,8 TO,5 fouls,18 reb,1 blk

    Well the numbers turned out decent and the Westbrook highlights were sick (hope I can up those) but overall wasn't a very enjoyable experience with awkward player movement and terrible framerate.

    Gonna try out a dunk contest now before putting in that other game.
    Forget how to do most of this stuff but I'll try it anyway.
    Thorton knocked a dude over and helped him up.
    Nice new dunk I did with Moon. Think it's new anyway. He knocked someone over too.
    Time still doesn't reset on replacement dunks. Still runs during prop set up too.
    Pretty much the same as last year.

      You my friend are a fan of the NBA calling out past greats such as Greg Kite.... I got a great chuckle out of that.

        Quicker jump shots = better user midrang game. Thank you 2k!!!!!!! I really cant say enough good things about this game, first game I played was Lakers(me) vs suns (cpu) went into OT, suns won by 6. The game just feels so good and it just makes the offense feel so natural with a better midrange game.

            I didn't get any slow down while using the skybox cam with everything zoomed out and height at 10!

            I like it a ton!

              Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

              Just finished a game using CHI at PHX.

              Rose had 18 and 9 on 7/9(they doubled a lot in the 2nd half)but the rest of CHI sucked ***. James Johnson cost me the game in the 4th by missing a dunk and layup.

              PHX won 85-79. Nash had 11 13 and 8, Amare had 17 and 12 and Jrich had 25 on 11/22.

              Im getting realistic rebounds(41-39) PITP(38-36), and the FT shooting is better now 19 FTA vs 18 FTA with shooting fouls at 95. I put gamespeed at 48 in the 2nd half after a slow first half and the score in the 2nd half was 50-42 Suns. If the gamespeed is at 45 or lower you cant really distinguish different teams playing styles IMO.

              If you lower the shooting numbers in the sliders the game is beautiful. You really have to work to get good shots or you're going to shoot a low percentage.

                Well Bill, thats the same issue I'm having. Not sure what Eddie is seeing, I have had the game for a few days now, and some of my teammates seem like there not even playing with me. Always leaving someone open.

                  The framerate issue: I haven't picked up the game yet but you guys could try disabling internet connection. I remember this improved the frame rates in the game last year.

                    Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

                    OK so I rented it a couple hours ago and I've only played 1 game so far but I'm loving it for now. I had a war against the Lakers using the Cavs that went to OT. I ended up winning. Some quick thoughts:

                    -Game looks amazing.

                    -The A.I. is so much better this year. Kobe shot 26 shots on me using 8 minute quarters and everyone else still got their shots on the Lakers. Ron Artest was on absolute fire to start the game off but I started to cool him down as the game went on. In the 4th he jacked up probably 3 or 4 3 pointers that were bricks and then on the next possession he had an open 3 that he passed up for an open mid range shot. Defending Kobe is also a pain in the *** because you never know when he's going to pull up for a shot or drive on you. This had me hovering my thumb over the Y button every time I was guarding him because I never knew when he would pull up or not.

                    -On default settings, All Star difficulty it was pretty easy to get inside. I was using LeBron but there was only about 2 plays I can remember where I tried to go inside and the paint was guarded heavily.

                    -Double teams are so much better now that we can dribble out of them and they're not the same canned animations as past 2K's.

                    -So many wow moments when you play.

                    -Presentation is unbelievable.

                    -Seems like there is too many And 1's that happen. There was about 4 that happened between me and the Lakers.

                    -The changes 2K made to jumpshots are awesome because now it is so much easier to pull up for a quick J and not as many blocked J's either.

                    -New playcalling system is pretty good. Not as good as Live's but I'll take it.

                    -Shooting %'s are high. Was hoping this wasn't going to be an issue but a couple slider tweaks should do the job.

                    -Kobe throwing an alley-oop to Jordan ****ing Farmar (in traffic no less) wasn't what I had in mind when 2K said they made the dunking/alley-oop system realistic this year. >_<

                    -Too many putbacks but this can be fixed with sliders also like the alley oop attempts and shooting %'s

                    -A backdoor cuts slider!!

                    -Online connection is an effing joke right now. First off I can't start My Player because with the servers down I can't get my uploaded player from the Draft Combine. The other things is, I uploaded about 3 awesome replays and some screenshots and when I uploaded them on the game it worked just fine. I got no error messages or anything. Now when I look at my 2K account I see the videos are a 1 second shot of a player standing around and some of the screenshots are ones that I didn't even take. ****ing bull****. :

                    -WTF is with the framerate issues? Another frustrating problem because it is ruining what looks to be such a good game. The slowdowns I noticed were usually in the paint on rebounds and things like that. I was using the default broadcast cam and halfway through the game I turned off Key Zoom and the slowdown was still there. If I clear my cache is it guaranteed to get rid of the slowdown?

                      Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

                      So far what I am liking about the game:

                      -I love the drive and kicks. Really makes me think before collapsing down.

                      -TWC Arena looks great

                      -The Presentation is beyond expectation. Looks amazing.

                      -For a white guy, I really like the soundtrack.

                      -The AI seems to actually have a gameplan.

                          The problem im seeing with my teammates on defense: They turn their back to the ball. YOu know when your on offense in the mid-range area and you want to move back for a 3pt shot? Well when you push down on the left stick, your player back pedals to his spot, instead of turning his body around to move. ON defense they need something similar.

                          If im moving my defender away from the ball i dont want him to turn his back to the ball. I want him to back pedal and keep his eyes on the ball.
                          My teammates give up easy inside shots because they turn their back to the ball and dont have enough time to react because they have to first, turn around and then jump to block or play defense. By that time its too late.

                              Ok, I was having these same issues until I developed a game plan...Stay with the biggest scoring threat(Dirk, jjohnson, Wade ect...) deny them the ball as much as you can and only switch when the you need to help CPU out or when the ball is in the air and you want the best chance of getting the rebound.

                              For some reason it seems the defensive reaction logic is a bit slower when constantly switching players onto the ball. You CPU teammates actually play good d if you trust them enough and you just play one play. I'm thinking this game was built more for the MY PLAYER mode than anything because you RARELY have issues with your teammates playing as poorly as they do in reagular mode games.

                              Ex: most of the time I'll control my pg to defend the other and disrupt the flow of their play early in the shot clock. Then I'll most like switch to the biggest scoring threat and stay with him until the shot goes up. By this time, the offense is rushing to get a shot off before the 24 sec violation, thus giving me a better position for a rebound...

I love flying into a corner WAY too hot, scared spitless and sure I'll never hold it at this speed- and hearing the bike whisper "Sissy!"...

                                i really hate the auto-post. it's just plain awful. if you want to talk about "suction canimations" this is the ream of the crop.

                                any chance we'll get an option for posting up manually? it's already been confirmed that live is getting that i think...
