NBA 2K10: Draft Combine First Look (IGN)

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

It is on the disk. The only difference is that your player with have a special patch on his jersey if he goes through the 'demo' mode.

So yes, it is for the hardcore fans to preview the game early. Or at least the new big feature.

I dont think this is nickle and dime'ing people at all. What i think this is is, to give people a chance to mess with 2K series before EA's. Say you get it for 5 bucks and you make your guy, you know what? If you like it you are already invested in 2K series.

Its a pretty cool thing to do imo. All for cheaper then a number 4 at my fav fast food joint Carls Jr.

My ? is, how does the My Player mode begin in the retail game? You can't create him and go straight into the draft, bc your rating would be too low. At the same time, how many people would just hold off if they knew for sure the combine is on the game disc if you wait a 2-4 weeks?

You can't sell DLC of stuff in a full version of a game.

Unless this has changed, I don't think there will be all of these mini-games and training and such within the full version. My guess is you go straight to creating your guy, giving him a certain amount of points and go from there.

I'm sure things like the 2k Insider, playing in pick-up games to build up your guy are exclusive to the DLC.

This is just my speculation, however. Please don't quote me and use it as reasoning why "2k is turning their back on their fans" or something similar.

Agreed, I think by purchasing the combine you will be getting "bonus points" to add to your player. What I want to do is since I plan on getting the DLC, I want to create a player with and without using the combine to see the amount of influence that the DLC has on My Career mode.

That's exactly how I see it. I mean, the content is going to be ready for launch in September. So it's not like it's a matter of "it won't be finished in time for the disk". I'll eat my words if this Combine Game ends up being playable on the disk, but it just doesn't sound like that's going to happen.

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

Well I think 5 bucks are a reasonable amount of money for a midsized DLC. Besides, as far as I can speak for Germany, EA Live is usually €69 whereas 2k's Versions you can always get for €55. You can do the math. So there is no need to insinuate 2k for nickel and dimeing. But correct me if it's any different overseas. Besides there are DLCs out there charging you ridiculous 3 bucks for a stupid costume you can use in a game.

Soooo is this a feature to create draft classes or just one prospect???

You create one player - and you play with that one player throughout his career, hence "Career Mode" and "My Player".

You could edit/create draft classes last year, just couldn't share them.

One thing that they should have done last year is allow users to create a draft class that's part of the roster outside of association.

That way, whenever one starts their association, they don't have to edit the draft class every single time as it will already be in place. Plus the draft class can be shared as well.

Maybe this year...

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

I'm psyched about this, big madden superstar fan and I've been dying for the 2k series to have something like this, it looks awesome and I have no problem shelling out the extra few bucks to play this, looks great.

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

Okay, so lets say you get drafted by the Hornets..everytime you play will have different teammates? I am just not sure how actually playing the game will work.

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

Yea with 2K Insider we definitely won't see anybody under a 50. I don't care if the scale was infinite

Yea I hope there is a way to turn that dude off. I don't want him on my game at all.

I should get the PC Version so someone can patch his face out of the game and replace him with Hubie Brown or somebody.

DC's on fire! Great stuff, man.

What?

Have you ever played NCAA or Madden's "Superstar Mode"? This is what this mode is like.

Example/Run through.
-You create your player, pick his position, height, blah blah blah
-You get thrown into the combine to do drills and games
-You perform well and you get drafted high, you do bad and you get drafted low.
-Once you're on a team, you play with the team as your player.

It's like an Assocation mode, but you only have control over the player you created. So you're putting yourself, or your created player in the NBA and playing through him and only him.
