NBA 2K10 Videos (IGN)

Re: NBA 2K10 Videos (IGN)

Can't tell all that much from the vids other than the fact it looks a lot like 2K9 to me. The visuals and animations are still beautiful but the same old gameplay problems seem to be present, though it's tough to tell since the user obviously didn't have a clue how to play the game. The Lakers' O seemed to be able to pass anywhere they wanted and get the ball inside very easily, user D better not be AWOL again this year. I personally thought the AI Lakers' offense was crisper and the CPU guys moved better on offense than they do in 2K9 even though some posters are bashing it. It was nice to see Artest with that little pull up J. Shaq's dunk on the putback was sick. Just like in 2K9 the animations on layups and getting to the hoop (LeBron) are amazing.

I'm still leaning towards not getting 2K10, I really need to see if defense will be appearing after a one year absense. Hopefully we get more vids soon.

Of course he should be able to score. I just didn't see much defense. Real defense.

Didnt like the pass too ... But the dude just forced LBJs way in, and in a pros game, you are going to end just as he did (tired, in a bad position) or blocked everytime ... so I liked that ...

Well, isn't that kind of the point? It really isn't obvious, when Shaq still dunks on 2 defenders. Help D? Barely. Low setting? Maybe. Key word: Maybe.

Again, IGN has always... always played the game out of the box.

It was hammered home in the Live forums when their media released and it needs to be done here as well. Out of the box, the difficulty IGN was playing at was Pro.

We can only wait and see. I understand the concern, but it wasn't easy to do in the Draft Combine (even though the players were rated lower) and I doubt we'll know for sure until we see the game on All-Star or above.

I assume that on lower difficulty levels, the turbo metre doesn't affect as it would on higher difficulty. Does this sound logical?

I feel u. I don't know why people get bent outta shape with the comparisons. I think people sometimes take it 2 far but I also think they're somewhat necessary 2 an extent. It's good 4 convo like "who's the best emcee, Biggie, Jay-Z or Nas..."? It also gives u a barometer 2 gauge each game against. Like ok...Live does this great and I'd like 2 see something like that implemented in 2K and vice versa, feel me? Ain't nothing wrong with that. It's just human nature and 2 be told not 2 do something that comes natural 2 u and doesn't hurt anyone isn't cool. However, I agree that the immature, pointless, "fanboy" driven responses are not needed. As in anything I believe if u have a legitimate, valid argument OR comparison, it deserves 2 be heard...

Two issues not directing this to your specific post but in general....

No one can properly declare anything without actually playing the game. Videos can be misleading on how the actual game plays when its in your hand....

And the biggest issue is that its all a matter of your opinion... and if it was as simple as stating your opinion one time and leaving it at that its one thing.... but I see people restate the same opinnion 20 times as if we didnt get the point the first time. Conversing on a difference of opinion can be fruitful trying to change someones opinion is insanity because its a thier own opinion there oare guys in here talking as if they have direct knowledge of how 2k plays and they dont its that simple... Even if this game plays very similar to last years you still dont know exaclt yhow the final prodcut will feel until you play it yourself...

Re: NBA 2K10 Videos (IGN)

I'm actually more impressed watching it a second time, the Lakers' offense looked really good. Three mid-range jumpers, the first Kobe one off a set play was something I rarely saw in 2K9, certainly looked more realistic than 2K9. Kobe basically caught the ball knowing he was going to shoot, he looked more emphatic and Kobe-esq. Artest on the one dribble pull up I'm almost positive was something I never saw in 2K9.

The three straight jump hooks in the lane didn't bother me (two from Pau, one from Kobe) but might get old with time.

So the AI offense looks good, the question is will we be able to stop it this year.

That would make sense. Not sure if that is the case though.

Your point is a good one, however.

Have fun with Live 10, that's all I can say.

I hope he does and I hope he doesnt troll his way back into the 2k forums.... if he is pushing 2k back. If you think live is great play live and comment on live in the live forums...I do like live alot based off the demo ...I will buy both and play both as I did last year... I just want the peoples from both sides to just stay out of other people's kitchen if you not eating their food. ( is it lunch time yet that is the second post with a food refrence)

i wanted to see Kobe do his fadeawa jumper on West...that wouldve been sweet, i dont know if the lower settings effect the tendencies though...

Re: NBA 2K10 Videos (IGN)

BigTigLSU I totally agree with u fam. In a post b4 that one I said the same thing. That we won't truly have a grasp on the feel/control/gameplay until the sticks are in our hands. So when I see people say ridiculous s**t like the game controls like 2K9, I just bite my tongue (fingers lol) and just let time bear all truths...

Very true. I think the mods do a great job here, keeping posts respectful and objective (I'm looking at you, Pared

).

Yeah, I was thinking the same. Where is Kobe's signature fade?

Ughh the one thing that erks me with 2k is how they always seem to mess up the Lakers home court......the paint is like a light off blue and they always for some reason make it purple in the paint. This video shows you how Live nailed that and how 2k failed again at this(and they been doin this since xbox days)......I love 2k but they are killing me with this....If I could get Live's courts, arena ambience atmosphere, shoes, with 2ks models and animations and gameplay then we would have the best bball game ever. Commentary is still in the air this year with the improvements to both games.

Right on Melman! It bothers me when I saw the color of the paint. It's way too dark! I like the lighting on the court, but how come the crowd is soo light? That's not Staples light at all. You're right about Live's overall atmosphere though, they nailed it this year, colors, crowd noise, lighting, etc. Even the organ sounds (after the basket, etc)

Go back and look at the video. The reason why Shaq's dunk animation initiated is because he had a clear path to the basket. Gasol moved away for an instant (which hopefully was just a rare occurrence) which allowed Shaq to begin his motion.
