NBA 2K10: Draft Combine First Look (IGN)

Re: NBA 2K10 Article Tonight over at IGN

I'm also not sure what to think about you being guaranteed to get drafted. Because looking at some of those overall ratings (39), there's no reason they should be projected to be 26th pick in the 2nd round. If anything you should work from undrafted up to the 2nd round.

But I guess they don't have anything for you to do if you don't get drafted. Oh well, they could at least put a screen up that says "You fail."

Would be cool if you had to go undrafted and go to the Summer league to prove your stuff...or if you fail there then go to the Dleague...maybe next year.

I like though you have a chance at going high in the draft. I'm guessing this is the only info we'll get until this is released lol.

I hope we are not "stuck" to pre-programmed roles. I want to be a 6'9" shooting SF/PF

Re: NBA 2K10: Draft Combine First Look (IGN)

what i want to know is, do you get drafted or signed to a team?

if you get drafted, would this be some sort of fictional draft? or like 2010 draft? because the 09 draft happened already. if its the 2010 draft, would all the rosters be the same?

on the other hand, i don't think many players want to start their careers undrafted

thoughts?

Re: Placeholder...

I was hopeful that 2K/VC would be able to sign-up some smaller shoe companies like Converse, And 1, Pony, etc. I'm hoping we can edit the generic kicks in the game as well this year. I'm loving all the added accessories and being able to edit the kicks.

That's a good idea. It'd be sweet to have a large collection of those brands of shoes since 2K doesn't really have the selection of Nikes and Adidases that Live has, for whatever reason.

Well, as another good side effect of this - creating players will be at least a bit more involved this go around it seems. I like the options that I am seeing and the depth of each part available. Guys that create great historical players like MJ will have a field day with this feature (Matt, looking at you )

Looks like 2k9 repackaged.

And 2k9 looked like 2k8, until we saw videos and high resolution pictures.

*Cough*******Cough*

But, seriously could you wait 'til we get info about 2K10, and not this seperate DLC, to criticize the product. You sound like you've got an agenda, maybe?

Re: NBA 2K10: Draft Combine First Look (IGN)

Those screens from the IGN article are really looking good. Has anyone else noticed the draft projection they have? And in one of the screens it looks as if you can go undrafted. I really have high hopes for the career mode, and I think that I will end up purchasing the Draft Combine just for the complete experience of the mode.

Well, the 39 overall rating makes sense, especially since I think simballer said that there will be no more 99 rated players, so it creates more parity.

Im loving this mode!

I'm pretty sure it's only 39 because he hasn't raised his attributes enough yet. I doubt you'll see any guys 39 overall in the official rosters.

There was a thread talking about how the NBA mandated ratings be from 25-99 this year so there probably will be a few scrubs down there.

-- 7 play styles per position, so they must be more than default rating sets now if they're actually advertising the play styles
-- Getting another look at the court, I really think they made it a little bigger, it just looks different
-- The mini-game lets you play 6 full games and 6 of 8 drills. For just one player that's a lot of substance, let alone if you want to just create Melo or Kobe and get some reps in
-- Development is based on a player's play style and body type...you can't turn a giant into a beast just because. I like that
-- These created players look a lot more detailed than previous ones, they're going to fit in a lot better with the real players
-- Just look at the close up of Nate Ahearn's player card where he's driving to the basket, that seems more like the sort of hi-res detail we'll see in the final product. I like those goals for a game as well, hopefully there's something similar in real association for weeks or seasons
-- I like the idea of getting points to cash in towards attributes, hopefully that carries over into Association as well instead of straight stat boosts

I found it kind of cool that they got Attack Athletics featured in the game.

Adds some authenticity to the combine as that is where many pros go to workout and improve their game.
