NBA 2K10: Exclusive First Look (Gamespot)

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

Really great info. This game should be really good, and I'll find myself buying 2k for the 7th year in a row, if they can give me a solid framerate. Literally last years game had such a bad framerate that it gave me headaches and my eyes were literally twitching after playing a game. Even post patch it was painful to play. And I only play Drive Cam, so them having great framerates on the sideways cams does me no good. If they can do that, I'm still in the game. Otherwise, I'm jumping ship to the other game. Just watched RAC's vids on YouTube and that game is looking a lot better with Mike Wang at the gameplay helm. Please 2k, need the framerate fixed.

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

Looks great to me. My only complaint with the graphics is how the jersey's hover above the player rather than to appear like real cloth sitting on their shoulders. You can see it pretty clearly in this Artest pic:


I guess it must be hard to fix because it's been in the game for years. Thats just nitpicking though and won't in any way stop me from enjoying the game and I always get both nba games each year (except for the tragedy that was live 08) so this year won't be any different.

If someone already answered this, then I apologize. Anyways, the jerzeys are separate from the skeleton model. The jerzeys have their own physics system and actually serve as a different model. It's the same reason why the fingers don't actually touch the rim on a dunk. You have two models interacting. This issue will probably never be solved unless they find a new way to code such interaction between models and other objects.

hmm something like the Physx engine used by Nvidia....

I have ATI so it doesnt support the phsyx engine >:[ ...i may go Nvidia for my next gen card but im going to wait if ATI has something like physx engine type...

anyway...this is the best cloth physics ive seen..<object height="340" width="560">

NOW if 2k decides to use this for 2k10 PC....i might jump to Nvidia sooner!!

The nice thing about Batman is that he is one model. He never changes, and the cape isn't something that surrounds him like a jersey. The jerseys in NBA 2K expand along the many different sizes of the player models. It's just something we'll have to deal with unless we don't want the jerseys to flow at all (like a painted on look where the jerseys and shorts were the body itself).

I don't think the physics engine used is entirely different between the two though. The technology is probably very similar.

I just wish they toned down the muscles a bit, but anyway the players look great!

They need a variety of body types! That is my biggest problem with the "graphics".

I think if you saw these guys in real life (Fisher, Artest) you would be amazed at their size, they are well built and bulked.

What I really want to see are the Tayshaun Prince/Chris Bosh of the league, they did a good job on skinnier players in 2k9; so I can't see why they would go back to 2k7 tanks.

I agree with that. Pretty sure there are only 3 body types, along with either ripped or buff muscle types. I think there should be a couple more with each to give a bigger variety of size. Or go back to the old ways and be able to adjust the size AND weight of your players.

Every rookie is basically the exact same size per position. 6'10, 260 for PF would be an example. You rarely see a lanky PF like a Tyrus Thomas, or at least not by just looking at his height and weight.

yeah i figured that was case. Like i said it was only nitpicking, aslong as the pants don't magically dissappear like in previous versions i'm a satisfied customer.

That batman cloth physics does look amazing, i'm sure it's only a matter of time untill something similar is implemented into nba games (same problem with the hand/rim interactions which are still off in all games) and the problem is solved for good.

Considering i've been playing nba games since:

it's amazing just how far we have come.

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

Is it really this serious. I can't think of one time ever, I mean EVER, that I could see the jersey "spacing" during gameplay. And if Im looking for that on a replay, I should probably get a life.

Re: NBA 2K10 info this evening on Gamespot!

I don't have time to read this right now, have to sleep.


BUT I am really excited to read about it!!!

I saw two things: court spacing & create-a-draft

Hooray!

Re: NBA 2K10 info this evening on Gamespot!

I'm excited too, and for the first time in my life I'll be able to buy the game when it's released. Yeah!!!

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

I really like the news about the court spacing. I can rarely finish a game in 2K9 because the offense always looks a mess. The court often has a cluttered feel to it.

I didn't buy any CH games after 2K6, but the spacing in that game was perfect, the best I've seen in any basketball game to date. Only NBA Live 09 rivals it.

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

I say no to cyberfaces. I see no problem putting their real faces in there. People just have to complain about something. Anything it doesn't even matter apparently? The one thing in this game not simulated. And people don't even like that. What a Joke.

They are not complaining they have good reasons try reading their post over.

Example. If you still got 2k9 trade Shaq from Phoenix to Cleveland, and he will still have the Suns jersey colors in his photo(it's annoying for some people and I am one of those ppl who hate seeing it especially when I go to check stats).
