Ok, here are a couple of observations from the Gameplay Video. Without picking up a controller i can't speak of the gameplay and what it really feels like so don't attack what I have to say.
I noticed that the game still slides considerably. I looks a lot like the Combine. I noticed that Lebron went through Pau for his lay up and that was one of my major pet peaves with this game in 2k9. It's obvious that they didn't fix the things that would make me want to play this game and I'm a little disappointed so far with what I've seen. The only thing I will say is a plus for 2K this year is that they always have an awesome online league set up.
This year Live really dropped the ball with the online league functionality but I know first hand that they are working on it for 11.
I can see improvements in the presentation for 2K which is what I said they would do in an earlier post this year. I can't say they didn't make the game better than 2K9 because they did. I just don't like the areas they chose to improve. I want full control of my players. I want real physics. I want to see players doing what they would do in real life with and without the ball. It's one thing to run sets but it's a totally different story to have the players acting intelligently independant of the canned things they are programmed to do.
One of the things I hated about 2K9 was that the CPU went for the paint as often as possible. I mean it was frustrating to see it iso it's way into the lane to get the best shooting percentage it could. Now that they have taken the lock on D away, it will be almost impossible to play defense online. Reason being, the lack of control of the players due to animations. You can see where if you get close to an offensive player, your man automatically goes into a defensive stance animation and it slows you down. It appears that he lost a lot of control when it happens.
I will have to play the game to see what is really happening with the game. The guy playing really must be a Lebron fan because he is all about forcing the action with him. I'm not saying that he is a cheeser, but it was cheese-like.
I will go back into wait and see mode now.
