Gotta say, I really like this game in Player Lock. I might run an entire Association like this.

I wish they put smiles in the facial emotion engine, too. I loved watching Lebron grin after his two backboard stuffs last night against Dallas. I'm having fun playing the game, let's see the players having some fun too!

Hassled the Dallas offense into giving Dampier the ball at the end of the clock...im playing off of him. No swift animation to the basket like 2k9, no big man euro step for a lay up....what does he do? Hold the ball too long for a shot clock violation. Love it.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

They've improved this area massively since 2K9...and I agree with you. The rotations resemble the NBA game.

I think people have a problem though with the fact the CPU players who are open hardly ever miss shots...whereas 'real' NBA guys miss open J's all the time. Teams leave guys open / rotate off guys for that reason in the real NBA.

Sliders fix this easily...so it's not a problem and is a huge upgrade on 2K9.

Well it's a pretty big problem in my player as you don't have sliders there.

And I'm tired of watching 70% shots fall on me and every center I leave alone (so I can guard the post as my teammates are idiots) hit shots from the outside as well.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

This game gives me the feeling I had when I played 2K3. Don't know what it is, but something just makes it old-school 2K basketball game. I like it 10 times better than 2K9.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

This game has officially taken over from NBA Inside Drive 2004 as my favourite NBA game. I am really enjoying it.

This is with base rosters and no patch...

I am sure it's going to be even better post patch and with a really good user made roster. Great stuff

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

I've played 3 game so far with Playmaker's sliders, Greene_'s sliders and one default and I keep getting blown out. I have been playing since 2K2, but for some reason i cannot get the hang of 2K10. I cannot jumpshoot, I can't get any penetration, and I'm struggling with the defensive controls. The left stick feels like it needs to be more responsive. I feel like it's fighting against me sometime.

C_V, I loved Inside Drive 04. I'm wondering how to get the same experience you are getting with 2K10.

What am I missing?

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

Im pissed!, this is the same game as last year!, I played nba live at a friends and it's completly different than the last one. I never thought I would revert to Live but it's so much better this year I have no choice. Even the online is superior in Live, i played 5on5 with no lag, to sum it up EA revamped player models, gameplay, they even allow you to select the Arena atmosphere like season, playoffs, finals etc...not to mention all the uniform options, I'm trading in my 2k.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

I just got the game, and I think it plays different vs. last year. It's much slower to me. However, I thought 2K9 felt a lot different than 2K8 at first. After a while you adjust and they feel the same. I think tinkering with the sliders has a lot to do with it.

The one thing I've noticed with both Live and 2K is how it seems like you really have to play 12 minute quarters to get real stats. In the past, I could do it with eight minute quarters. Not anymore.

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

Feel free to try my sliders on 2Kshare (PS3 version, pal), they improved defense and shooting, lowering cpu 3p behaviour and timing.
Set difficulty to hall of fame.
Im still working on that, let me know

Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread

I don’t know about you. But this is my biggest problem about the game at this point. And this is from someone who Loves the game. I know the game has its problems. But last night it finally hit me. And it hit me hard. I went over to a friend’s house to play 2k. And I was explain things about the game to my friends. The controller eventually got to me. My friend picked the Miami and I was the Spurs. My friends don’t know anything about the game. When I say that. I mean they don’t know any of the controls. They don’t know about the post game. They know nothing about any of the dribble moves. The only move they know how to do is alley oops. Now most of them play off-ball (only one of friends plays on-ball D). Well the final score of our game was 71-70 Miami. Wade hit the winning layup with 4.3 seconds left. Now after the game I looked at the stats. And my friend had scored 54 PIP. While on the other hand I scored 18. They are 2 things that really got me mad seeing these stats. One was that I knew my friend was cheesy like this. So I always played off of him. Whoever he passed the ball to. I would back up/back away. Pretty much inviting him to shot a jump shot. But he never did. I think he hit one 3 point. He was still able to get into the paint and score consistently. My other reason I was so mad after seeing those stats. Was that he didn’t know anything. He does the crossovers by accident. This guy would literally push himself into the paint for points with no dribble moves. He was scoring pip by just simple dribbling the ball with guys like Haslem, O’Neal and Beasley. They didn’t even know any post moves. While Duncan is doing shimmy fake fade aways. But this guy is able to beat me and knows nothing about the game. Basically it bothers me that someone with no knowledge of the game. Can walk in off the street. And do the same things over and over successful. I’m calling plays. And playing real basketball. How can someone be reward like that?

By the way we were playing Hall of Fame.

I wouldn't play on a high difficulty. If you're interested in the same quality basketball I believe you would be, try Pro difficulty with lowered shooting sliders. Drop the alley-oop tendency and cut to the basket tendency... up defensive awareness for the user... and you should be ok. That's a great starting point for you.

jeebs, since we know alley-oops will be addressed in the patch, we might have to table any suggestions until then.

I know Pared....It just been bothering this morning. I had to vent it some where. I didn't want to start some flaming thread about how bad the game is. In that game I was up by 11 at one point. And I was playing excellent defense. I think I had 10 blocks in the game. When I had build that led Parker had broken down defense so many times. Because he was playing off-ball D. And I was toasting the CPU. I would get in the lane (because I know how to chain the moves together). And kick it out shooter. Feed the post a little bit. I was even getting my own offensive rebounds....And he get reward with a W. SMH

Like I said I love the game. I think its one of the deepest. And is probably close to being in the greatest talk.


edit:
Another thing I saw one of my friends was doing in another game. He would play a zone. And run around trying to get steals with Kobe. But once a shot would go up. He remain as Kobe and leak out before his teammates (or anyone for that matter) even get the rebound. Catching passes pretty much underneath the basket. Basically in another words…..Cherry Picking…I know the definition of cherry picking is not even playing Defense and just stand there underneath your own basket. But in a basketball video game I consider that cherry picking.
