Re: 2K9 vs. 2K10

Most of 2k9's faces looked better than 2k10's.

Re: 2K9 vs. 2K10

The only thing I liked better about 2K9 was the in-game injuries. It made the game much more challenging to play when your entire starting 5 was out with separated shoulders. :-) The worst in-game injury I saw in 2K10 with the injury sliders cranked up to the max was a twisted ankle. I hope injuries get fixed in 2K11 so I can have one of those OMG moments as to who I'm gonna start because my team is decimated with injuries!

Good point.

Oh man, don't remind me of the separated shoulders.

2K9 is way better than 2K10 simply because you can control your player much better.

'nough said.

2K8 = Most fun I've ever had in a sports game.

2K10 = Dissapointing but still better than 2K9.

2K9 = Hated it.

Co-sign x 1000000. 2K8 >>>>> 2K10 & 2K9

Well put.

Compared to 2K9, 2K10 is a much better game.

1. More advanced/deeper post game.

2. Much better court spacing/player size.

3. Arena specific chants/songs/sounds on defense and offense.

4. Shot animation was faster. More realistic because in 2K9 it was too slow and too easy to time a perfect release. Also it was easy to block shots in 2K9 because the shooting motion was slow.

5. Better CPU play by the AI especially on the offensive end. Faster shooting animation in 2K10 also makes playing against the AI tough as I get faked all the time in when the CPU shoots. Makes it realistic.

6. More play-calling to choose from. In 2K9 it was 8 at one time while 24 in 2K10.

7. Much better and deeper commentary. Also in-game player/team stats during the game was a great addition in 2K10. 2K9 barely had this.

8. NBA Today/MyPlayer modes were a great addition to the game.

9. Although lead pass is still a problem in 2K10, it was much worse in 2K9. Also full-court accurate bullet pass in 2K9 was a major problem and fixed in 2K10.

10. The addition of contact in the paint in 2K10 made FG% much more realistic in the paint area. 2K9 there was no contact which made it a layup drill.

11. No more crazy dunks in traffic/triggering layups/dunks from the Free Throw line which occurred all the time in 2K9. This is in large part due to court spacing/player size being improved in 2K10.

12. Player Ratings being expanded from 25-99 in 2K10 instead of 50-99 in 2K9. Greatly improved how a scrub/role player/star should play. This added more variety in Overall player rating.

13. Adding more player attributes. Such as low-post scoring and inside scoring.

13. Although some player faces became worse in 2K10, the overall atmosphere/color in all areas of the game was much better compared to 2K9. 2K9's colors looked stiff while 2K10 was more pleasing to look at.

14. Double teams was a long scripted process in 2K9 but in 2K10 it was not.

15. The addition of canned block animations. In 2K9 blocking was terrible. I wish the AI can do the canned block animations in 2K10. They did in the Draft Combine. Why did 2K remove it in 2K10?

16. Putback layups/dunks being much more frequent and realistic in 2K10 was a good addition. Although sometimes it looks like the defender should get the rebound but instead the put-back animation wins out.

17. More variations of runners/drifters/fadeaways. Also the additon of leaners was nice.

18. Additon of walk-the-dog.

19. Addition of kick ball violation.

20. Much deeper player tendencies. This also plays out very well in the game.

21. Additon of pregame rituals/Keys To The Game. Game presenting holidays in overlays and commentary.

These are just some of the additions/changes in 2K10 compared to 2K9. I actually can't go back and play 2K9 after playing 2K10. With Mike Wang returning and Jordan being the cover athlete, 2K11 may be an all-time great.

Incredible post. Reminds me of why this forum is the best on the 'bet for sports gaming. Love it when guys give solid proof behind their reasoning.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not...because all of those things he listed are matter of fact/common sense and TRUE.

Well this thread was a 2K9 vs. 2K10 thread so I wanted to list why 2K10 was better. People that have both games knows the difference but those that have one or neither won't.

So if a potential buyer is reading this thread, they can see why 2K10 is clearly better.

In 2k9 the game would curb your driving lane when attempting to drive at a straight line among MANY other control issues. 2k10 by a mile.
