Great read !!! Hope the execution is as good as the planning. With everything else they added it should be a very fun game to play.

I agree. This article has definitely made me feel better about 2k10. From what I read it appears that most of the problems from 2k9 have been dealt with and solved. We won't know for sure until we get our hands on the game, though.

Can we finally challenge a shot without jumping is the question

Lock on challenges the shot, every single time.

The lock on icon takes a split second to kick in tho...so catch and shoot situations are hard to contest that way.

I hope 2K reduces the time it takes for the lock on to activate when you swap defenders. I hate when you make the smart switch, but since the AI doesn't recognize you as a defender right away so you get what is essentially a wide open, uncontested J dropped right in your face, even though you're in perfect position.

Lock on does NOT challenge the shot every single time.

Man I know about that. That isn't accurate and it doesn't work on command.

We need a MANUAL way to challenge shots without jumping at the shooter. I don't understand why this is too much to ask for.

I'm with you. Man that video doesnt work online for a whole host of reasons and offline it doesnt trigger everytime either. We need something that happens on command like the steal button and something that will reduce a three point shot to the point where you cant take a decent three point shooter and live off of pump fakes.

I agree but..

Lock on does NOT challenge the shot every single time.

yeah it does. If you're in position, it works every single time. Once I figured out the space and timing of this, defense got way easier in 2k9. I still wouldn't mind a Y button or R-stick solution, but the lock on D challenges whenever you're in position.


Insight sounds good. Can't wait to see it in action.

Re: NBA Developer Insights: NBA 2K10 Defensive Gameplay

This article was the perfect read. It seems everything I had a problem with in 2k9 has been addressed and special emphasis has been made to get these aspects of the game right. One can only wait and see if what they say is what I play.

Re: Defensive Gameplay Insight is up

Help defense has got to be one of the hardest things to get right. Last years game had it to where a CPU teammate on your team would leave the man closest to the basket in favor of guarding the man thats open. they saw" open man on perimeter... MUST GET TO HIM." without any true thought that you just left kobe bryant wide open near the basket. Talk about a delicate balance.


YES! youve told me almost everything I wanted to here.

Hype Meter is at a 8 right now and rising

Re: NBA Developer Insights: NBA 2K10 Defensive Gameplay

I remember reading about the custom gaits of Shaq, Nene, and Yao but I cannot look back at the article at this moment for reference. My question is, will other bigs have altered running and moving form as well (sluggish fellers like Jerome James as well as medium movers like Mehmet Okur and swiftish-for-a-big-guy like Jason Maxiell)? Or, after the customs, will most of it be based on a players' speed rating?

Give me my defense, baby! This was a great read. Love all the (apparent) on-ball defensive options.
