It takes some getting used to but it's not drastically different. Once you figure it out, you'll be able to control your player just as well as 2k8. That's an EARLY impression, so give me some more time with the game.

Many of them occurred with passes THROUGH my teams players hands, bodies, and heads. If They wanted to score, they would find a way. That incessant desire of the CPU AI turned me off from this game. I would play great defense and literally do all I could, but a bounce pass went through three of my players legs to a cutting player. what im asking is, have they cut down on the cpu cut passes? It may seem weird to ask, but anytime you feel like you were robbed defensively, pause the game and find out why. btw, is staples center laker court lavendar or dark purple? the past few trailers have been giving conflicting answers

The offense isn't forcing their way into the paint. They're actually running an offense. I've actually seen them go in and out in my short time with the game already. Ball goes into Shaq, he waits, I come over with Nelson, Mo slides over and Shaq hits him for a three.

Too early to tell. I'm running plays and I've had them break, but there is certainly more leeway this year than in years past.

It feels like that same engine tightened up with NBA players. The Combine gives you a good idea of what to expect.

Greetings,

I have a question, You know when you look up friends online with the xbox button on the controller and it shows the games being played, can you guys Show the score of the game being played instead of "playing association mode" or "Playing quick Game", Also in the online league games that are being played they show scores around the league in real life, how bout scores of games being played in your online league. I dont know if you handle that part but could you pass that along to the programmers. Thanks..

Ya this is something I thought was already done in 2k9. I will make a strong push to make sure this is in all our 2k10 titles though

Definitely more of a mid-range game by the CPU on All-Star. Anthony Parker just used the triple threat to get me into a screen, then popped a J.

EDIT: Yes, next possession, Pick and Pop to Ilgauskas from the top of the key.

Could you post some after game stats once you get the time to. Cheers.

There are new camera angles when the CPU is shooting FT's... nice.
