NBA 2K10 Q&A: Retail Copy in Hand

Re: NBA 2K10 Q&A: Retail Copy in Hand

Anyone with the game could you just answer these two questions for me.

1. Does the star player on the other team actually dominate more? ie. if im playing the lakers will kobe actually look to score often? (this never happend in 2k9)

2. Is there an actual midrange game this year?

Re: NBA 2K10 Q&A: Retail Copy in Hand

Can one of the many people with the game do me a quick favor? Just play a home game with the Bobcats go into replay mode and see if the players have holes in their necks. Every screen I have seen of them in 2K10 the neck ends before the jersey begins. Maybe that is what the small patch was for? Here are some examples of what I am talking about, notice the black between the neck and jersey. One of these screens is from the retail version of 2K10 pre-patch. So hopefully that was the fix.

Yo Pared, is the help defense a huge problem in the retail version of the game? Because its a pain in the azz in the demo, as soon as your man is just one step by the defender the cpu comes to help and leave their man open for a easy score

Re: NBA 2K10 Q&A: Retail Copy in Hand

Having been pretty dissapointed in 2k9 to the point where i didn't play much hoops for the last 6mths (tried live09 and it was pish) 2k10 is a definitely a step in the right direction.

I thought the Live10 demo was pretty sweet and was ready to consider switching over to EA this season if 2K didn't improve but 60 secs into my first game on 2k10 showed up Live10's faults immediately to me. EA have done well but it all feels far too scripted/generic to me .....dare i say it still 'more arcade' than 2k10.

Not that 2k10 is perfect but it does those things that make it feel less like a video game for me, player models are outstanding as is the sound of the ring & nets. Driving to the basket feels more natural and controlled this time out, laying off whilst airborne has tightened up and feels much nicer ....this is one of my biggest gripes with Live10 ....every drive & layup toward the basket feels the same every time ...the whole process for offence and defence feels more natural in 2k10 & with alot more variation.

ISOmotion is still a little clunky for me and this is the one are where i really think they could learn a thing or two from EA's implementation, it feels alot better than 2k9 in this regard but versus the stick it still feels a bit sloppy and at times frustrating but making LT the key modifier was a master stroke.

The post game also shows up the competition, just miles better.

And probably the thing i like best is the court spacing, no longer feels closed in and makes a massive difference - fastbreaks are killer ....poor shots get punished and you can run the break properly this time w/out the defence catching up everytime.

So i say well done to EA as Live has progresses massively and you can be happy with either game this year but 2K is still where it's at for realism for me.

Very nice review, bro.

You touched on a lot of points that are important. Court spacing, dishing off in the air and realistic fast breaks and post up game make this years version really sound like a winner. I used to run the break like a madman in 2k1 on the Dreamcast.

Are their any other dunk packages than the ones listed here:

Rimgrazer
Basic Bigman
Athletic Bigman
Athletic Guard

Player Specific:
Carmelo, Kobe, Vince, Duncan, Garnett, Dwight, Iggy, LeBron, Nate Robinson, Josh Smith, Nene, Shaq, Amare, Wade, JamesWhite

Re: NBA 2K10 Q&A: Retail Copy in Hand

my question was for someone with the PS3 Version...

I know custom soundtracks aren't on PS3 2k10 but... do they at least let you use the audio thats already in the game?

(example: if I wanted the Game's track to always be played at a certain arena)

Yes, go to new, then it will ask you if you want to load your player from the DC.

No, not really. There have been times when players come over a little too hard but if you turn off double teams (call them manually) a lot of that is eliminated.

Re: NBA 2K10 Q&A: Retail Copy in Hand

Played this game on All-Star Level....Me (Nuggets) VS CPU (Jazz) ONLY lowered the shooting sliders each to 45 both ways and left everything else......GREAT GAME!!!!! Played this with 8 min. quarters by the way.

This is great brother....I think by playing 10 min quarters it would give you about perfect stats....that would be like adding on 1 extra 8 min quarter.

Can you post some box scores?

Re: NBA 2K10 Q&A: Retail Copy in Hand

Let me help RayAllen20 with his wekend - yes, you can change the control settings to I think Alternate B and that's the one where Isomotion is on the Right Stick. The Left Trigger modifies it back to Shot Stick mode.

There are four preset moves on the cardinal directions and the moves can be done with it but it's still inaccurate. I tried it in practice so I can have the same setup for Live and 2K but the moves don't come out cleanly.

But a basic crossover and the stepback will get you far in 2K anyway.

Re: NBA 2K10 Q&A: Retail Copy in Hand

Pared,

I have been reading several threads that have mentioned the auto post double team. Has this been an issue for you? For instance have you encountered playing off ball and having a defender (on your team but controlled by the AI) such as D Howard guard a player such as Dampier and a double team comes (when clearly no double team is needed).

Also has the computer doubled teamed you if your trying to post up on offense with a player such as dampier one on one vs. Howard. Does the AI recognize that no double team is needed?


PS: I just threw these players out there, for examples, (no offense if anyone is a big Damp fan)

Thanks!

Re: NBA 2K10 Q&A: Retail Copy in Hand

Pared, when you play a Crew vs Crew game, is fatigue/substitutions a factor, or is it purely 5 on 5 for the whole game?
