Re: Long time Live player...

Well as the subject says, i have been a long time Live player, have been since i was a little kid. Since the next gen jump Live has been pretty bad, they made some great strides last year, but Dynasty mode, which is the bread and butter for me, was pretty much terrible. Especially the off season and all of that. People have told me that 2k was the better game, so im thinking about switching to 2k this year but i have a quite few questions first, and any help would be appreciated.

First question i have is how is the Dynasty Mode/whatever its called in 2k? I would like some in depth info on it, because that is the only thing i play.

2nd: What tore it for me with Live 10 is i read that there are no in-game injuries in Dynasty Mode (WTF!!!??). That is so unrealistic and pissed me off. So are there in-game injuries in dynasty mode in 2k?

3rd: I heard that the D-League was in 2k this year, is that true? If so thats really cool and a major +

4th: I also heard you can edit draft classes and share them, is this true? And if so is there someone here in the community that edits the classes that would have the players taht would potentially be in the upcoming draft in 2010?

5th: How is the create a player? I know it sounds silly but i always create myself and live out my dream as an NBA player, like i said it sounds silly but ill never be in the NBA so this is the closest ill ever get.

6th: Can you hire and fire coaches? And are there actual coaches?

7th: In the draft, are there actual pictures of the draft prospects, or at least computer generated pictures, or is it just a blank sillouhete (sp?)?

8th: And a big one, can you only have a 12 man roster or do you have 3 open spots for the IR. Like on Live you can have 15 guys on your roster (12 Active & 3 Inactive).

Ok guys, sorry if its alot of questions but like i said any help would be appreciated.

well, just wanna say, im a longtime 2k fan switching to Live this year, but thats just me wanting a new experience, but yeah, you can't really go wrong w/ either game this year. 2k has always been a good game.

Re: Long time Live player...

if you like the Gameplay of 2k, then 2k10 is your safest bet this year.

This has been the most civilized Live/2k thread i've been a part of.

Re: Long time Live player...

Yeah man same here, it sounds like 2k's Association Mode completely destroys Live's Dynasty. Live's Dynasty was just too plain, no depth to it at all. And i've been wanting an in depth Franchise type mode, and i think ill have it in Association Mode.

Ya I can't wait for association. I looked up reviews of association and was amazed. I will control all 30 teams and create draft classes. Can't wait for the LeBron sweepstakes. Also I've never played NBA 2k so I don't think the gameplay will get stale. I am also getting NCAA basketball 10 so I don't want two of the same game.

Re: Long time Live player...

I know how you feel i been buying Live since 03 maybe before and they keep giving you the same stuff...the demo for 10 is horrible dynasty mode has gone the dogs since 05. Live looks a little better on PS3 but its not worth the money. I expected more from a company that makes Madden and just throws the pieces together for their NBA game. This is going to be my first year buying 2K and I think you should too.

Re: Long time Live player...

I have bought the Draft Combine and the controls are way different and takes some getting use to after playing Live for so many yrs...that's my only problem with 2K so far

Re: Long time Live player...

are u sure about that? and are you talking about in game?

There's a video of Bargnani getting hit in the eye. I would guess it's not in dynasty but it's an in-game injury.

That is a minor injury, and Bargnani kept playing. Dynasty has those in game. There are no serious injuries (i.e. injuries that a player can't play through) in-game in dynasty, only when simming.
