Bottom line is that this the best game out period! End of story.

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.

lol these were my exact same thoughts last night while I was in practice mode.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

i havent really dug around the forum, but the menus are completely annoying. the cutscenes right after a whistle is blown makes it hard for you to sub on the fly, and it isnt as responsive as last year so it takes longer to sub once you bring the subs up.

i only played 4 games but charges and blocking fouls were called so incorrectly i thought i was watching a college basketball game. other than that the gameplay is great

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

Well I have been playing since last Friday, 2K has gave me great 9 years. There is just to many things not felling right with the game this year, to much slider tweaking needs to be done in this game.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

I got the game the first day it came out and been playing it ever since. I love the fact that the made it look as if you are watching a real NBA game. The presentation, the dates of games, if you are playing on a holiday that it recognizes it's holiday, telling you about the next game, plays of the last game, NBA Today, My Player, etc. They added a bunch of new features that I like too like Technical Fouls, facial expressions, player-referee interations and changed the difficulty of the ally-opps. I also like the fact that you can't abuse the turbo anymore and added a limit and fatigue to it.

But with good things comes the bad. Like the fact that 2K can't walk and chew gum at the same time with certain things: like the fact that they can't get the headbands right. I try not to be a fashion designer with this game but this get on my nerves. First in 2K8 they couldn't get the home headbands right nor for the alternate jerseys but got the away headbands right. Then in 2K9 they got the home headbands right but messed up for the alternate jerseys. Now on this they reverted back to the 2K8 format and can't get the home headbands right but got the away and the alternate headbands right. Now they did a little false advertisement because if you look at the trailers all the home headbands are the right color. I also hate the fact that they changed up the pro-hop. It was fine in 2K9 when you could let go of the turbo on a drive and press Y and do a hop to get to the hole. Now they made it to where you have to walk in order to do it. If you hold turbo and drive and let go of the turbo and do the hop you still end up doing a spin move and it can cause you to either Travel or Charge. And you have no say so in the matter. And the hop isn't even that far. He might as well just jump straight up and back down. Now the dribbling has been a great upgrade but even with that comes trouble. Because it seems that the game just refuses to be out dribbled and ends up flying everywhere you are going. Say if you shake him and you start to drive to the side, the computer slides all around the court till it gets in front of you.

But back to the good, I love the post-game. The PRESSBOOK is the best thing in the post-game show. I love the fact that they added pictures of the game and they look like if they were to put it online or see it in Sports Illustrated. I did this sick dunk with LeBron and seen the picture of it and I wanted to save it as a background for my computer LOL. And the Commentators are very good on the ears. I like the fact that they keep up a conversation instead of dead air in like some games that will remain nameless LOL. When they talk about the last game and how they did was real cool. And when they are between breaks they are talking about you next opponents and schedule, other games being played and everything else around the league. It's been times where I just want to let the CPU play itself and grab a beer and watch the game LMAO!! But when I first put the game in and downloaded the new updates, I seen the NBA Today and thought "this is the new quick games? That sucks" but didn't realize that the games were of the teams playing THAT DAY in real life. I was blown away. The blocking has been upgraded and looks extremely great. I'm glad to see in a emotional play I can smack the ball clear cross the court, foul or not. Defense is a great upgrade so that people can't just blow past you and the cpu moving you so they can get by. They actually hold their ground. They also changed it to where the CPU don't always smack it out your hands when you are doing a pump fake. They still do it but its not as much as in 2K9.

But overall I LOVE this game. I don't hardly play anything else anymore. Right now I'm doing my MY PLAYER and currently playing with the Heat. This is another part of the game that I love. I can actually see what these guys go through to get to NBA. My player is doing good, he made Player of the Game in 1 game and they gave me a 30 day extention. My next game is against my hometown team CLE and they put me a SF so you know what that means, LeBron is gonna be whoopin my @$$ LOL. But it's fun so I'ma try to shut him down. Keep it real OS.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

Well i rented both games so here is my impressions of 2k10, and BOY thank god i rented it.

We all know that the graphics, sound is fantastic, but who cares about that if the gameplay is atrocious. Ive played a couple of game and tweaked some things but obviously not enough.

I for the life of me cannot understand how anyone can like this game.

Lets start with animations strings, they are TERRIBLE, good lord herky jerky all over the place, know where near smooth. Its like there missing animation frames from the next to the next, Especially during cutscenes i want to puke cause the camera will be close and the guy will run and stop and run for no reason.

Passing man oh man, i cannot understand why passing is so hard. When your not using icon passing i cannot get the wright player EVER!. I mean there is only one guy right of me so i look right to pass its highlighted, BUT magically it will change to someone else the second i hit the pass button. Also alot of times i will pass and my guy will be looking the other way and will sometimes go through the hands for no reason...ugh

Shooting- Missing easy layups, uncontested shots far to often, CPU always making the most ridiculous shots i have ever seen especially when the need them.

Defense.. where do i start THERE IS NONE.. so bumped up the level and defense awareness and my team, my team is a bunch of flat out ******s. Seriously man to man doesn't exist so may times i have to go to my replay to find out why guys are open and its mind boggling on what my teammates are doing. Magically looking the other way going behind the defender not contesting shots, running away from the guy, double teaming when i never said to.

Im sure this game you need to sit for days and edit sliders but im with FootballForever on this screw that, i mean if this game is so broken out of the box hell with that.

Wait the herky jerky movements are still there? **** that. 2K9 was already bad now it's also in in 2K10.

As far as I can remember the passing has always been jacked and I don't understand why ya'll haven't picked up on it. I think Icon passing is the best. And I think that when you pass it using the anolog stick is only good when you wanna quick pass it to the guy next to you or around the perimeter.

Herky Jerky is not as bad imo than 2k9.

I can play defense and pass the ball around just fine with my Bobcats.

I am having fun with this game. Can I help you understand that?

Just let me know, and I will show you how I am having fun.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

THERE ARE TECHNICAL FOULS?

I could've swore I seen it. I know MC closed my thread cuz he said I didn't have video proof but I know it's there. Because when I did the layup ball slap the ref called a foul and Delonte went up to him compalining and the ref T'd him up and Clark Kellogg and Kevin Harlen was like "Yeah the ref hit him for that". I know it wasn't talking about the foul because they just say the same thing as far as fouls go. Now what I noticed in the My Player is that when you upgrade you player you can upgrade what they call "Expressions" where you can determine how the player interacts with the ref so it just might be in there. Because I think if it's set too high that they can get a Tech.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

Hey Lawless just to make sure is the herky jerky a serious problem like 2K9. To me that is a game killer. When do these herky jerky collisions/animations occur?

You know what, I played 2K9 so much that the herky jerky'ness really don't phase me. It's still there but it's not as bad as 2K9. The only problem I got is teleporting defense. I try to shake a dude and they get broke only teleport back in front of me.

Just let me know, and I will show you how I am having fun.

To each their own. 2k10 has good animation when that 1 animation is going, but when linked its beyond terrible. Passing is definitely going to be up to the user but for me it pisses me off why the highlighted guys change i am still holding the direction.

Well i am glad you can play good defense i can play good defense to, its the rest of my AI team who are morons and don't know assignments, get caught behind another guy, not looking at the defender, magically stepping in back of them, looking at a ball go right by them, not going for a block, not going for a lose ball, not going for a rebound.
