NBA 2K10 Videos (IGN)

[MelMan1486]

Well for months people have been saying if you like 2k9 you'll like 2k10, so I'm liking 2k10. I didn't expect a totally new game and I'm impressed with some of the improvements.

[Jay Z voice] "we dont believe you, you need more people"

very bad post. stop playing on rookie or pro man. its very hard to get dunks on superstar, unless you've somehow mastered the sticks already? Fisher's handles are suspect on the higher levels as well, sounds like you are BS'ing. just sayin...

and honestly who cares about which company sales more, that shouldnt concern anyone thats not on the payroll, its all about the better game.. if anyone worries about whos selling more then they are a fanboy, plain and simple. I could careless, I'd love to have two good basketball games though.

Actually dude, Ive been playing Live since it was Lakers Vs Celtics,, actually Ive been playing EA BBALL since it was Jordan VS BIRD on a Commodore 64 im a vet in this Video sports game BIz. I can get dunks off allday on Superstar.. You dont have to believe me in Jay-Z's voice, Ill use my own voice and say you dont know what your talking about. You totally missed my point.. If you consistently come in here saying your buying LIVe, apparently you want to try to affect the sales of 2k10 which you wont. So if your buying live go to the Live board and tell them, Im getting 2k for free anyway I have 19 tracks on the game I know the developers personally, and all this whining is starting to get a little ridiculous. One of the Momentous trailers from 2k9 used one of my songs. I talk to the people who put their work in to try to make this game the best and you disrespectful 10 year olds who come in here year after year whining is getting a bit tiring.

2K all the way! This game is gonna be siiiicckkk. Not to upset any Live fans, I thought those games were good up until I played 2K for the first time, which was like 2K6 or 7. but anyways, I think 2K will be much better than Live this year (don't rant about the contrary to me, you won't convince me). I'm just here to say, that I CAN NOT WAIT til October 6th!

GUARDS PLAY HELP D...AT LAST

Looks good.

Damn right. Seems like you have to wade through the posts to really find guys that actually see the basketball improvements.

It's sad that these things have to be pointed out for them. Speaks volumes on the individuals saying nothing has changed.

After 10 years of loyal 2K purchases and playing their game this will likely be the first year I don't buy the game...Its a maybe rental at this point.

Say what now? Since when have you been a "loyal 2k purchaser?"

As for the video, here's the way I'd break it down in regards to last year's major complaints:

1) People complaining about control, no solid way to really form an opinion.
2) Balls going through players/lack of collision - Didn't seem to be an issue from that video.
3) CPU not taking jumpers we saw a few, including the CPU passing off in mid-shot to a wide open Gasol as Shaq came up to contest.
4) Lack of help D - It's there this year. Even if this is a low difficulty setting, it's obviously there. Guards sagging off, leaving their men... If you don't see it, then I'm not surprised people aren't seeing any improvement.
5) Layups going through players - None in the video. Players gather and shoot over defenders. Again, collision.
6) More control by the CPU when running an offense. Check.
7) PG's no longer go to the top of the 3 point line and setup plays that seemingly take forever.
8) Kobe posting up on a smaller guard. CPU CONTROLLED KOBE. First time I've seen a SG go in the block in 2k.
9) The commentary is right up there with the best I've ever heard. The flow was incredible, notice that Harlan NEVER cuts out what he's saying as the game goes on... Hopefully there is some ability to do that though on a big play as we saw with the Shaq follow (incredible reaction, by way).

Now this is all from those 3 minutes, and quickly off the top of my head. I've already mentioned I hate the way the two handed overhead passes look... but so far, it's definitely an improvement this year.

Re: NBA 2K10 Videos (IGN)

Why people think they are supposed to be WOWED and have their breathe taken away is beyond me. How much of a graphical jump in ONE YEAR do you dudes expect to see? Come on now

Exactly.. Too much whining.. either buy the game or move on to Live.. just that simple

[And one1]

I just saw one of the gameplay vids (cavs vs lakers) and I was not impressed. I have been a long-time 2k guy for years, but I have grown tired of 2k's lack of dribbling control and overall sluggish controls and animations. I have been considering switching to Live this year and this video only makes me want to switch more - 2k10 looks sluggish as ever, and the dribbling control is non-existent. I am not a Live fanboy by any means (like I said, I have been a 2k guy) - I am just calling it like I see it.

Live just looks more responsive and the controls really allow you to do what you want, when you want. I like that about Live this year.

Not looking good.Its looking like NBA2k9.5. That my player mode should be fun tho.

Re: NBA 2K10 Videos (IGN)

LOL at these guys who says they've been 2k fans since dreamcast days...true fans see whats been done to the game...right now im loving the spacing, the help D, the atmosphere and the commentary (which i hated for years)

graphically this is going to look beautiful when playing on 1920 X 1200 on my PC...i hope they kept the same numbered iff files for the dornas so it should be easy for me to mod those first

on a side note i might be getting this game early come next week heres hoping anyway...this is the same place that got madden a week early as well but didnt bother since i wasnt hunting for madden...

Re: NBA 2K10 Videos (IGN)

I hope that new put back dunk animation by Shaq is a rare occurence. If this was an EA game, the animation would be overused. Gotta admit though, it did look nice and the commentary reaction was perfect.

it was pretty rare to see tip in slams in 2k9...so this was nice to see...playing the combine the tip in dunk didnt happen alot either...i played the combine to death and i probably saw a total of 5 tip in dunks....

Well if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?

Well 2K9 was nowhere near perfect...but you can see improvements in this video. You can see that the spacing is improved,character models, help defense, computer AI, turbo (Lebron got tired just running around), atmosphere, intros, commentary. Your not going to see all 9000 new animations in a 3 minute video.

If the Combine is a good indicator you'll probably see 1-2 per game.

Re: NBA 2K10 Videos (IGN)

Once again, nba live pops up in a 2k thread..tired of people bashing the newer members and putting them in some sort of stupid group, when some of the older members are doing the same thing..

[ffaacc03]

Re: NBA 2K10 Videos (IGN)

Based on these videos, this game will be amazing. 2K9 was ridiculous, in both good and bad ways. Assuming they cleaned up a lot of the bad things with 2K9, there's no doubt this will be the greatest basketball game ever put out. I can't ----ing wait!

Agree !

Well, isn't that kind of the point? It really isn't obvious, when Shaq still dunks on 2 defenders. Help D? Barely. Low setting? Maybe. Key word: Maybe.
