Re: NBA 2K10 Patch Details Announced PS3/360 (Updated 10/22)

is there any way possible to add lobbys in a patch update? I just loved having lobbies to look at the person style of play and record before I play him. It's kind of weak imo to just enter a game never knowing if the player is cheese, sim good record etc.

But the patch looks great I was just wondering if any nba2k10 offical test member could let know if lobbies will be included anytime in the future? Thanks

Doesn't seem like it's practical to beta a sports game that's released on a yearly basis. And even if a company did... all they'd be doing is attempting to mimimize the number of problems a game has.

That's kind of what I was getting at, maybe these games shouldn't be "annual" releases. The business model has revolved around this annual release schedule and I tihnk it has done the gamer a disservice. As a comparison, I recently purchased Uncharted 2 and I consider that a quality product through and through...the original was released 2 years ago so essentially they had 2 years to work on the sequal. I haven't had a "Wow" moment in a sports game in years..I play Uncharted 2 and I am literally amazed every time I play it and couldn't be more pleased with the purchase. Pefrect? no..Fun? yes.

Really for me, all of these sports titles are turning into yawn fests....it's the same thing every year but the only difference is it's just a different list of bugs/exploits. They're not making enough change or positive progress year to year to make things interesting. And the stuff they do add doesn't make the core gameplay any better hence imo being a complete waste of time because the gameplay is stale.

I downloaded the NBA 2k demo and was not impressed. Matter of fact it reminded of what I'm talking about and it convinced me not to purchase the game. Maybe I rent after they're done patching and give it another try? But the days of a blind purchase on release date for me are over.

Re: patch details here

did they say anything about adding a post up button?

Nope. It's really not that big of a deal IMO, though. The more you play, the more you get a feel for the auto-post up.

I came home to some great news.

That list is awesome, should make the game even more enjoyable.

Well, to use your Uncharted to Uncharted 2 comparison... There were several years between those games. I think if you were to compare NBA2K10 directly to NBA2K7/8 you'd see a more noticeable difference also. Same with all sports titles imo. I'm no fan of the job Tiburon's done w/Madden, but there's going to be a noticeable difference comparing Madden 07 to Madden 10 long as the developer is somewhat competent. If Uncharted were to release every year, there'd be a much lesser discernible degree of improvement in that game - and to be honest it's not like Uncharted 2 is some reimagining of the series. It's an enhanced version of the first one.

I think these year to year releases have tons of under the hood improvements that aren't always immediately noticeable so they don't get the credit deserved for improving the games the way they do. I especially think that about 2K10 obviously because I think the game improved a ton in comparing one year's release to the next.

Like Sonicmage said, until Madden changes its cycle, no game will

I personally would like a release every 2 years. It would give the developer time to make a complete and new game. All these games are, are slight upgrades with generally the same graphics. Uncharted which was great graphically upgraded its graphics to GENERATION levels as well as game play. IGN gave it a 9.5 and nobody gave it under a 9... It shows it got better. IGN gave Drakes Fortune a 9.1 which was still high but you can really see the difference from the other rating it got in other places.

Look kid, The fact remains the same no matte what genre of games it is. This is thr only 2k I haven't picked up th first week of release. Why is that you ask? Because my friends told me that the game didn't seem finished. Didn't believe them so I went and played it, noticed some irritating things then they showed me most of the bugs that I ended up reading here. This wasn't a quality release plain and simple. I'm not saying it's like 2k4, that game just sucked. This wouldve prob been the best in the series had they just tested properly that's a fact. I hope this Patch fixes everything but this "well fix it later thru patch" attitude isn't a good thing for games in general.

1) Watch the kid thing.

2) While you have a point, what sense does that make posting it here? You're not some fool off the street, are you? You just admitted that it's the same no matter what genre it is. You make the comment as if no one here knows there are release dates these companies must abide by. As I mentioned before, all the professional sports groups set a release date and these companies must abide by them. You know that, you're an informed gamer on OS. Yet, you'd like to make that comment as if you really don't know any better.

3) These false acts of ignorance are what really degenerate this community. You know this is the makeup of sports gaming that we are in today. And if you feel that you need to get on that soapbox, you should do it elsewhere. This isn't the thread.

That goes for everyone. People are doing it in the Madden forum, the Live forum, the MLB game forums... and it continues to just ruin threads.

If you have an issue with the makeup of the sports gaming industry, make a thread in the Console Talk forum and go crazy. There are plenty of individuals who feel the same way you do, and certainly want to have a discussion on it. Hell, I'll do it for you. [EDIT: We're going to discuss this more at length, but expect something to come of it]. But we're not going to sit back and let guys continue to ruin the forums for others because they feel the need for an outlet of their frustrations.

This is music to my ears and I'm glad the mods notice that this happens in just about every forum.

? I said several years ago, which was why I said compare NBA2k10 to NBA2K7/8 and you'll see a more noticeable difference. If Uncharted came out every year, I'm sure there'd be less discernible differences comparing one year to the next. If you're going to compare yearly sports game releases to other games, a more fair comparison is comparing a release to a release a couple years before it. Not the previous year.

The sports games usually do improve a lot between releases. But expecting some reimagining of a series every couple years just isn't practical imo. You look at any title that's been around for a while, like Halo, GTA, etc. It's not like the games are getting away from what they are at their core. You get improved visuals, enhanced AI, more gameplay options. I'm not saying I'm against bi-annual releases btw

Guys, let's get back on the topic of the thread. The patch, the list of items, things that weren't addressed.

Let's cut out the off-topic comments. I understand the need for discussion on the makeup of sports gaming today but this isn't the thread.

Re: NBA 2K10 Patch Details Announced PS3/360 (Updated 10/22)

Pared I agree with everything you said......

My take is people on this site would still complain even if 2k10 scored a perfect 10....

Thats just how some people were raised up in life.....Sad but true

Go 2k great job so far!!!!!!!

Re: NBA 2K10 Patch Details Announced PS3/360 (Updated 10/22)

I know that the patch has been submitted to MS, etc.... But do you all think that there are going to be some changes to the atmosphere, crowd noise? That's one thing that really draws me to Live, is the atmosphere and crowd response. I think if they could amp up the arena/crowd sounds, then it would add a WHOLE lot to the 2k experience.
