AI is my favorite player and I hate the "Practice?!?!?!" slang being used all the time because its becoming stale, but I do have to admit that it got me off guard lol:

Practices have also been added in Association so now you can finally take your team to Allen Iverson's favorite place … the practice court.

I'm with you on the mind going crazy because one game shows this and then the other backfires with something else. They both have it backwards right now though, One has shown gameplay and the other hasn't. And then the other talked about the features and then the other hasn't. I think the other is waiting for the other one to unveil the rest so they can show theirs after and rain on their parade.

LMAO man that sounded confusing.

Re: ESPN Previews NBA 2K10

This sounds good, and I trust Jon Robinson a lot more than most other sports game reviewers. I was happy that he mentioned how nice the halfcourt movement is.. too bad he didn't mention anything about the help defense really, since that was the primary concern Chase voiced on the build he played. Glad to see a very positive review on a more recent build though. Wait and see, wait and see.

"The build was dated Wednesday, Aug. 26, and I was amazed at how everything from the player spacing to the defensive rotations and the way inside shots are contested (virtual Dwight Howard, in particular, swatted virtual Pau Gasol back to Spain) was improved in the latest edition of the franchise. 2K Sports credits its relationship with 82games.com (a leading statistics and basketball analytics site) for helping producers further push everything from player tendencies to the proper positioning on court to help give "2K10" a more realistic feel. The game is now tracking 36 additional tendencies per player, breaking down not only how these players attack the basket, but how their teammates behave.


And the results are incredible."- Jon Robinson

Take that for what it's worth Stumble

This game is sounding incredible. Between 2K10 and Madden I'm going to be doing a lot of sports gaming this fall/winter.

Re: NBA 2K10: Bound for Greatness? (ESPN)

I am just drooling over here! It sounds like the game is going to have a TON of depth to it. I love the lengths 2K went to differentiate players, this year. I can't wait to see some gameplay footage and give the demo a spin.
