Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

Quick impressions:

Big improvement on 2K9.
I can't believe fellas here are saying the graphics took a step back...I put 2K9 and 2K10 on back to back to check and 2K10 is much better. The courts, faces etc a big leap forward.
Team styles = nice

Now the negatives.................................the game is going to need really good, sl...slid....slider....slid, man I can't even say the word as I am so sick of every 2K NBA game needing, here it comes, sliders.

There's a lot of issues that sliders may / may not fix.

Last season, sliders made it worse in many regards...I can see a lot of guys here tearing their hair out over the next few weeks trying to get the gameplay right.

There's already several slider threads...which all seem to be pretty different. That's kind of worrying.

The fundamentals = superb. Rebounding, blocking, fastbreaks are all a long way ahead of any other NBA game.

However, there's definitely issues...I may not play much until someone settles on a really good slider set. Kind of over the whole "put cpu whatever to 20 and it's a whole new game...wait, now you need it at 90 or guys will just stand around...wait, you need it back at default or else the CPU AI goes haywire"...

Good game....may or may not be great in a few weeks.

I gave this TIP last week to Sarah and their is a thread about it now, its about auto dbl team, go to My controller==> controller settings==> and set the double team assist to your liking it pretty much eliminates to a degree the dbl teams that you don't want.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

I asked this question 3 times and still didnt get an answer. In 2K9 I feel that I am forced into that herky jerky collision way too often. When I am on a fast break or when I am on a 2 on 1 fast break with a good angle for an easy basket. Instead of getting an easy 2 I feel that I am forced into a defender that leads to that herky jerky collision that results in a block, foul or sometimes a no call. Is 2K10 also plagued by this?

The game does still force you into certain animations when you drive but, IMO, it happens at the right times and the right animation occurs. It doesn't look weird though on the very rare occasion, some sliding occurs.

Cool...that will be a big +

I am sure this game is going to be great once we work out all the things like this. Out of the box it's like "wow...umm, wtf was that...wow...huh, why are my teammates doing that?...wow". A mixed bag, with some really nice parts.

I'll chime in and save you the time. If you didn't like the control of 2k9 then you wont like the control of 2k10. This is just the way 2k's engine works. The game will pobably feel even more sluggish and animated to you. Me, I'm having a blast with the game and fastbreaks feel great.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

Great game.

Best basketball sim to date, and my player mode is really deep and fun to play.

Also the team up and "crew" option will be fun if I ever get the time.

This game is easily 9 to 9.5/10

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

I'm gonna keep playing it to see if I can eventually get anything good out of it and it's a rental so by the time this stuff gets fixed I wont' have it but this whole thing is just awful to this point.

I'd like to have a copy of the game the testers (can't miss this stuff),reviewers (since they all gave it over 8 they obviously didn't have all these problems) and that apprently some others here got (game is great?) but mine is full of game ruining glitches.

You 360 people that are saying the game is good,did you get that gold edition? Maybe it's just the regular edition that's messed up?

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

I must say, I am not digging this. Players move and run in slow motion, like they are in quick sand. How is this realistic?

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

I think its momentum. You cant turn on a dime anymore and it takes time to shift direction. Can I change the quarter length in My Player mode after I started it? Its on 5 minutes and Id like to change it to 12.

Just change the quarter length before you upload your guy from the DC.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

So uhhh can anyone else not get that "Spin Launch" to work out of the Protect Ball stance? Trying it so many times in practice.

Entering the Protect Ball stance by holding LT and holding away player. That works fine.

Then it says release LT and move the LS opposite the facing direction (it's already aiming this way isn't it??).

Problem is:

a) there's a small delay in animation after you've gotten out of the protect ball stance

b) then you just take a dribble and don't do a spin

I've tried this in many different ways, holding RT as well, releasing the left stick after I'm in protect ball stance and none of it works. Player control seems to once again be rather ****house in 2k10.

Still love the game, but it's pretty true. Half the time your player does something you never intended for them to do.

Oh yeah, and wow, practice is bloody annoying when all you're trying to do is moves where you have an unused dribble. As there's only 1 ball and you can't drop it/lose possession you have to run back to half court (since all the 3s go in for some reason, even fadeaway bad release shots lol!) and launch a shot so it doesn't land in the key where it doesn't let you do the moves.
