Re: NBA 2K10 Hands-On Preview (IGN)

Everythings sound good, i just have to see it motion. IMO the players faces look pretty good, they still have time to make small adjustments to them...so im not worried.

LOL Why do some of ya'll let 2K frustrate you when it's the same **** every year? Guess I can understand when one parent is spoiling you with no end and the other parent is making you be patient. But then again, that's how it is EVERY year lol.

Like DC said, ya'll better start keeping low expectations when it comes to info 2K is releasing and the TYPE of info they release lol.

Co-Sign. I just don't get it.

Re: 2k10 IGN preview Today.

but monta doesnt use crossovers like that to break his man down...he doesnt have handles liek that.. he has one basic right to left cross but hes not an "ankle breaker"

hes just fast and runs past people. and elevates quickly.

:/

Cut and weave doesnt automatically mean crossovers. I took it to mean that he used his speed to cut through the D.

I was a little excited. Until I read the article. It did nothing for me.

I may invest 20 bucks again this year for the PC version, but there's not a single thing in this preview that shows me it's worth a 60 dollar PS3 purchase

First things first: For all you mo-fos who think Kobe can't fly with the best of em....check out where his head is @ 49secs....52secs....1:27, thats the playoffs.... and all of this happened this past season.

I think everyone here is hyped for 2K10. However our expectations may be too high. It seems to me that I'm thew only one who happen to like 2K9. Sure there are some things I want to see improved: post up animations, better iso-motion moves, smarter defensive rotations, a better pick and roll game and finally quicker shot animations. The game for me was one of the best I have ever played. I do expect more. I do expect 2K10 to be leaps and bounds better than 2K9.

I like the pix we got, Kobe going over Rondo and Allen, I can happen if Rondo isn't a damn hack (see this http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3537/3487985301_0b5a6d6c9a_o.jpg). Also, look at the left arm pulled in, I like that. The KG and Kobe pic looks well and I like the Boston Homecourt visual. In this pic (http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14293226/nba-2k10/images/nba-2k10-20090819040516505.html?page=mediaFull) look how many people are guarding Kobe, so maybe you should take this guys analysis with a grain of salt.

All in all, I think 2K10 will get a solid score of 9/10 when all is said and done. All the stuff is I see in Live vids (authentic tats, sig shoes, sig dribble, hustle plays, better body animations), 2K has been doing that. About the only thing I see that liked in live was the Hangar practice facility. I don't care much for the Hangar, but the screens intergrading with ESPN is a nice feature. Hopefully the addition of 82games.com will do for 2K what EA wanted Dynamic DNA to do for them.

Re: NBA 2K10 Hands-On Preview (IGN)

I been a fan since 2K (like who really cares...). I'm alright as long as they don't change too much at once, unless it improves gameplay. Remember 2K3? Now remember 2K4-5. Those games sucked because they changed so much and made gameplay worse. Isomotion then was a joke. The dunks were horrible (looked like you was dunking on a 9 ft rim). I could go on and on. Now remember 2K6? It's was different in a good way. I hope 2K10 is like that.

Re: NBA 2K10 Hands-On Preview (IGN)

Thank goodness that Live is shaping up to be a great game as well this year, so that all these Chicken Little's can have somewhere to go instead of staying here and crying all Fall.

[tril]

I like the turbo boost/defensive pressure feature. Thats a good addition in how its implemented.
However, the game seems to offensive focused. hopefully they'll address the defensive aspects of the game the next go round.

2k9 pc was a great game so my expectations arent that high for this year's version. In addition, Live also seems promising.

it wont be a bad thing to have 2 solid games. It also sounds like they will be very similar. Wang is turning nba live into "nba 2klive".

Re: NBA 2K10 Hands-On Preview (IGN)

I agree with dude up there, Live is adding things that 2k had since 2k7, nothing about Live was better than 2k since forever. Live finally added something last year to give them 1 advantage (player DNA), and that still did not put them over the top, right. 2k is adding that this year, with a bunch of more extra things, the only thing 2k actually NEEDS to do is improve small things gameplay wise, feel me. How the hell will Live be better by adding things 2k has had for years, if 2k gets the player tendancies right, then Live cant compete in anything but graphics. Yall need to stop being pessimist, to me it looks like Live will be a big jump from last year and for the 1st time since 02 I may play Live, (seriously have not played the actual game since 02, only demo's) but just because they are getting better dont mean nothing, Live has a long way to go before they catch up in the most important thing, ANIMATIONS, until then all 2k needs to do is get a lil more realistic every year and im good.

[tongefactor40]

Haha stunning. The biggest problem last year was on the defensive side of the ball; seems like it should have been the FIRST thing they started working on, instead of trying out yet another feature (My Player) from the ground up - which never works the 1st time around.

Re: NBA 2K10 Hands-On Preview (IGN)

lol if i remember correctly wasnt 2k9 supposed to be focusing on the defensive side of the ball? lol but i still play the hell out of it though

Re: NBA 2K10 Hands-On Preview (IGN)

no negotiations in my player?
wtf...thats a pretty big ommision from that mode.
its a huge part of being an nba player..
becoming a free agent and looking for the best deal etc..
i really hope things like trades are possible.
or else whats the point.

i was REALLY looking forward to this mode. now. ive got concerns.

about all the extra tendencies and 82games.com....man i hope its implemented well and within the context of 2ks gameplay...
because i dont want to spend hours adjusting tendencies/ratings this season. i dont have the time anymore.
this hopefully will be the 1st nba game where i can just use 2ks rosters. please

i really want to get a comprehensive "my player" breakdown.
i dont understand how they can ommit negotiations from the mode????
what depth does this mode have?
i hope its not just the nba league version of 24-7 .
that would be a BIG letdown and a wasted oppurtunity by 2k.
