NBA 2K10: Exclusive First Look (Gamespot)

[DubTrey1]

Well, I know 2k will be on the surgery table for the next month or so.... So I will just stay both games have some strong features this year. Plus I loved reading that the D-League is in this year & the floow spacing has been addressed as well as expanding on player tendencies.... But as usual, the bottom line will come down to which game gets the "feel" of the NBA right and nails the gameplay.

Re: NBA 2K10: Exclusive First Look (Gamespot)

The first time you hit the court in NBA 2K10, something might look a bit different. Yes, you'll notice things like the improved player likenesses, including animated faces, better skin textures, and greater lighting effects. But you might also notice a sense of space on the hardwood that simply wasn't present in previous iterations. As developers put it to me, that's because the proportions between player size and the floor had gotten a bit out of whack in older games, resulting in players that were slightly larger than in real life. The team took a look at all of the player models in NBA 2K10 and made size adjustments across the board, with the result of having a slightly more open feel to the play on the court.

this is what i wanted to hear. since 2k2. I hope they really fix the cpu's off ball D

Re: NBA 2K10: Exclusive First Look (Gamespot)

I AM disappointed that they are still using real pictures. I just pray that the combining two picture nonsense isn't back

I AM disappointed that they are still using real pictures.

Why?

Yeah I want to know too

Re: NBA 2K10: Exclusive First Look (Gamespot)

Because they don't change with updates. If they're wearing a team color jersey, they're in the wrong color after getting traded, if they cut their hair (Melo/AI), you still have the old pics.

Plus I think he's worried about players getting the "retired pic" treatment and stuff like that again (silhouettes and whatnot). If they just used the model's face, none of those things are an issue.

Re: NBA 2K10: Exclusive First Look (Gamespot)

They need to use cyberfaces. That way ALL players (included created) will have a profile picture. If they use REAL pictures, the created players probably will just have the silhouette (which is not a good look)

Also jersey trims. Kobe gets traded to the Knicks, he will still have the yellow Lakers trim in his picture.

Oh.

I guess it never was that big of a deal to me.

If 2k had something like that, we wouldn't have to worry about those blank silhouettes, and I think they could fix the upcoming rookie pictures with it in association mode as well.

I hope they at least give us an option to take a picture of our CAP's face so you can see his face instead of that blank sihouette.

Re: NBA 2K10: Exclusive First Look (Gamespot)

What I wanna know is are they gonna use the same no stitching tech they used in MLB 2k10? The commentary was the best part of an otherwise lame sports game. They should be able to replicate it.

[ehh]

Re: NBA 2K10: Exclusive First Look (Gamespot)

The faces/headshot thing just like College Hoops would be an awesome thing to put in NBA 2K.

Re: NBA 2K10: Exclusive First Look (Gamespot)

Good news, but I won't really be excited until I know the post game is really fixed up and they removed that left trigger hesitation/stutter move.
