Back on topic: I only played a few games but I think I got a feel for the direction of the game. I'm definitely turning off Defensive Assist when I get the game. Overall the game looks better, the facial animations really make a difference IMO. The CPU was still doing a lot of backdoor cutting lead passes, but there's a slider for that now. The controls around the bucket are better.

It is after all a 2K game, and it feels/plays like it. I don't think people should be surprised that it plays similar to 2K9, except refined. For some it will be a reason to pick up Live, as the series is becoming a little stale. But I can only see that as a positive, as it will force 2K to re-examine the mechanics and engine as a whole.

2K10 is the correct step in refinement. They weren't required to do a mass-makeover ala Live, so they took the good from 2K9 and fixed the bad. Personally, I may just end up getting 2K and Live simply as a change of pace. Nothing wrong with having 2 solid basketball titles.

yup cheesing is gonna be toned waaaay down this year. I tried seeing if i can abuse the Magic with Kobe and quickly saw how he became fatigued and slower. And dunks have been toned down ALOT as well. Can't wait to crank the difficulty up and have commentary to add to the atmosphere of the game.

Don't understand the comments about reduced cheesing. Didn't anybody watch the pastapadre or konsolekings vids?

Looks ok 2 me mayne...
