NBA Developer Insight: NBA 2K10: Draft Combine, Part I

[luv_mist]

So exactly what is the point of uploading your player to the 2K10 server? Is it for the draft for others' games or what? That's what I'm trying to figure out what that's all about. I'm lost on that level. Also, which draft will it be for anyway? Is there going to be a draft going before we start the season? Didn't they do that in Live 07? I'm puzzled. I hope that Thursday opens up a lot of information.

With all the new adjustments(different types of players, more sig shot spots to change, etc.), I find that it would be hard to not have a complete gameplay version of 2K10 running on this. I know it says you get the core gameplay of it, but what would be missing out of the gameplay? I would think that if someone buys this, albeit it only being 5 bucks, and doesn't like the gameplay, then that may sway someone whose on the shelf about this game to not buy it. I'm going to buy these both because this is only 5 bucks and I can't stand playing Live (I don't really get the fascination over Live, but I don't want to get into one of those), but I have been a 2K guy since the first one on Dreamcast came out.

Yeah, sounds like a pretty big risk if you ask me. What if people get tired of the gameplay before it comes out also? I thought this was being released maybe around the middle of sep.

Yeah, i'm wondering if there is some secret online mode 2k has planned. Maybe it's just to compare your career to others or something.

Uploading your player is simply how you continue your career when the full version of NBA 2K10 hits. There's a little more to it than just that, but we'll go into that much later.

You are killing me. Thursday is going to be interesting. I hope you are given the green light. Good article.

Lol I think i'm actually looking forward to this demo game more than Madden.

Maybe that's just because I prefer basketball games over football though.

What i like is that SimBaller said speed is the hardest skill to raise. this is going to be great for centers.

It's still disheartening to me that we've heard nothing about gameplay or seen any videos. I'm a tad impatient considering the competition has released yet another video today (check out Live board). I'm pretty impressed with what they've done.
