Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

The alleys are too easy no doubt but they're far from "gamekillers". The framerate issue can be however. Although after clearing my cache and turning "Key Zoom" off as was suggested, I haven't experience any *knock on wood* since. I thought I had fixed this problem last night but it's still not working.

I am unable to save my coach settings(Automatic playcalling, Rotation based subs). I have to change them everytime I boot up the game.

OK question does your player from the combine count as a created player for the trophy (ps3) or not

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

i'm loving this game. Had to get used to the way the guys moved because it feels perhaps like theres more weight to their movement so you don't have that NCAA Football type immediate control. On defense i usually play as the star so i play a lot of off ball defense and it helps when the the cpu rotates i can rotate to stop the basket. Had to adjust to each guy's shot but the more i play the more i'll start to learn the timing on each of them. I'm getting so many realistic looking plays and some incredible highlights.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

I will say I feel the Alley Oops are too easy... but this is the result of the numerous people saying on the boards that they could never pull off an alley oop last year. I'm almost sure of it.

I agree that last year's oops were better timed. Animations beat it this year, but the success of execution last year were a better representation of the sport.

You know Pared…I don’t hate the game. I feel it’s more enjoyable to play the CPU instead of a human (compared to last year). The CPU actually takes Mid range shots. I was so happy when I saw….The ball rotate into Vince Carters hands. I had a pretty good close out. He pump faked me. Drove the ball. So I switch into Shaq to protect the rim. And he pulled up for a Mid range J! Even though this was a dragger in the game (I was down by 3 before the shot). I was happy to see the players play like/sort like their real-life counterparts. But only problem I had with the CPU was that it threw about 7-8 alley oops in the game. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>
<o></o>
But I can’t believe because people complained it had to be made easier. It does not make any sense. A alley oop is a tough\risky play to make. Pared have you seen the 360 alley Oop layup yet? I almost pause the game and took a shot. I saw the 360 alley oop lay up with Michael Finely. It pissed me off. I remember very clearly…2k removing that animation in 2k8 after the patch. Because “They felt it was very unrealistic”. Why the hell would they put it back in the game?<o></o>

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

i play on superstar and i dont have a problem with the cpu throwing a lot of ally oops. I think ive only had 2 thrown on me in 4 games and they were nice plays. And the highest the cpu has shot against me was 65%. I havent touched the sliders but i'm not having problems like others are complaining about so i'm just enjoying this game.

HMMM.....I mean when the CPU and throws8-10 alleys a game. I never said it is a gamekiller. But people who have no right throwing alley. Are throwing alley vs me. On the regular. And its annoying to see D. Howard score 90% of his point on alley oops. Playing a human is not enjoyable.

The paint is still easy to score in. I mean I saw Nate robinson come down the lane and dunk on back to back possessions. With the big standing near or under the rim.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

No, haven't seen that jeebs.

I also haven't seen 8-10 a game and I'm playing 10 minute quarters.

Not sure what I can offer to help... the AI should not be thinking that is such a highly successful play out of the other options if it mathematically (in the game) wasn't.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

I have my PF and C set to deny ball, if a oop is thrown to the men they are assigned to, most of the time they will block or intercept the pass. If i dont want to assign them to that and I am getting ooped to death, I just manually harass the passer coming up court so he can't throw a oop, or manually defend the lane so the guys making runs toward the basket wont be in position to get the oop or even have the oop attempted.

The only thing I dont like about the game as it is now is having to take the defensive strength slider all the way down to 0 just to get my men to stop trying to help out so fast. If they fix this and make it able to use the on the fly defensive pressure adjustments during the time out screen or on the fly while in online games, this game will be dang near perfect.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

its funny how everyone was getting on 2k because the Cav's warmups were white with blue sleeves at home and last night the Cav's warmups for their home game in real life... white with blue sleeves. Now they just need to get the headband right

[Pared]

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

You mean the Cavs were wearing the wrong warmups?

Pared…Last night after a game vs Orlando. I played them again. And you know what happen? I would say there were about 2-3 situations where I would say…”ok now that is a legit alley oop”. One was on a fast break (I actually got a charge in my flavor), another was on a pick and roll. Besides that Vince Carter, Brandon Bass and Dwight Howard caught at least 2 alley oops each. But of those alley oop were downright “WTF”. I remember seeing Howard go through Z and catching a alley oop slam. I remember another that happen on the very first possession that Orlando had… But the “Your in my way” animation caused a turnover. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

Are you sure they sold 12 back???? Not that it really matters but in this economy it just seems like a lot of wasted money if you ask me

Yes i am sure spoke with a friend that works at the gamestop nearest to me. They had been getting them back all day.

To the other person who ripped me and called names like a real grown up...

While I didn't have a problem with the framerate on 2k I was not going to play the same game as last year. Yeah the take more time with a game to figure out if you like it argument came up. If someone doesn't like a game they aren't going to drag it out and play it. Same as if i burn my dinner and it don't taste right, I aint gonna eat it. I have options. I am not gonna let something sit on the shelf that I didn't like or I am not playing. I would rather gather credit or money for it. I also said I bought 2k since 99 and obviously you decided to ignore that. Their game slipped this year and i dont feel like playing a retread of last years game. Sorry if I got a few fan boys butt hurt just because i didn't like their prized game this year. But people need to stop looking through rose colored glasses saying its the best its perfect the other company's game is hot trash. Calling someone stupid or saying they signed up just to say what they said is a waste of time; Isn't that what the message board is? Wasn't this thread to post your impressions on the game? I stated a few facts and you want to call names. The only reason I defended what I said is because you don't know what you are talking about when it comes to me.

One final thought... Some people may like to put in the effort to find their perfect slider set... but i dont feel like having another madden in my collection when it comes to playability.

I totally feel what this guy is saying. I've had 2 maddens now collecting dust. I mean I really wonder about 2k. Like I said I really like the game. But we shouldn't have to play around with sliders to play game. I think they made a lot of improvement on the CPU end of the game. Mid range jump shots, Players playing like they would in real life. A few new animations here and there. But this game is lacking something...That keeps it from truely becomes something awesome.

You are right about the alley hoops Jeebs. They are entirely too effective and not as contextual as they were 2K9. Although I have gotten better at jumping to swat and deflect alley hoop attempts the more I play the game, there needs to be more of risk element to attempting them.

As for your point of playing human vs the CPU, I wholeheartedly agree that playing the CPU is more of a challenge and stimulating that playing against paint abusers online or hum v hum. You cannot take off a possesion when playing the CPU which makes it really immerses you in the game.

Jeebs, you should add me and a bunch of other OSer's to play online with if you do not want to be continually frustrated by playing PIP abusers. The devs have to cater to the casuals and cheesers alike, afterall its the reality of the profit motive in the video game industry; but that does not mean that you have to cater to them also.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

I only played for about 30mins on the PS3 but I really think this game is something special. Its not a gigantic leap over 2K9, but it definitely warrants a purchase for any serious B-ball fan. I don't have the too many alley-oops problem. I do believe that the CPU may shoot a little bit higher of a percentage of shots than what they should....but I have to put in at least a good 4-5hours into this game before deciding that. I have to also adjust to the new Iso-motion...I am have some trouble with it....2K's dribbling moves are a little too complicated at times, but once you learn to pull some of the moves off it looks great....more impressions later tonight!
