NBA 2K10 Review

Re: NBA 2K10 Review

I give the review a 6/10, missing to comment on key aditions and some problems, instead focussing on "easy targets". Not impressed here. I´m sorry, but the negative mentioned are much less obvious than anything in 2K9, yet the rating goes down ?

About the playcalling : Watch an NBA game, there´s much less actual playcalling than you´d think other than "quick plays" and running the Pick & Roll. This isn´t the NFL.

true man, but every team has like at least 4 offensive sets where there are like 4 or 5 different options. and sometimes you got some hog on the team that deviates from the offence and goes "yeah i want a pick and roll so i can score

". so yeah there probably is a substancial amount of playcalling involved.

but really, instead of these new position specific plays they introduced, id rather that the plays that you DO choose to be run through much more smoothly and faster like a real game instead of waiting like a douche with the pg at the 3pt line for like 12 seconds and then having to go 1 on 1 anyway cos the shot clock is going down.

Maybe just because you've played the game one time, but 2K10 is the best basketball game of all time!! When I've first seen the game, (when the demo is out..) My thought is " what a game, the game is poor, it seems like 2k9 etc.." because I don't take enough time to play the demo. As a big fan of Bryant, even the jumper make me so nervous..OK...but tomorrow, I take my time to play the demo fully..and now, I see all the things they do in the game,the game looks so realistic..My brother too, when he first see the game he had the same idea

**tikaka** · 10-06-2009, 05:41 AM

the game looks pretty good, and more than I hope..Some of us talk about live, but I've playing live a long time ago, and Live 10 is like the others..Maybe they do more improvements on Gameplay, but the game still be an arcade game..Live is just for exhibition game, just for a feeling..you can't play live during a full season! Live 10, when I see the trailers, and when I play the demo..I laugh! The game looks so bad, and the same animation repeat again and again and again!..guys moving like sponge, jumpers, don't talk about this..the guys doesn't look like as real..the game is very poor...I don't know why some of us talk about live as a opponent of 2K..there's no comparison!! 2K is the best basketball game..It's not just because you've seen some 2k' gameplay on internet, guys on internet 80% of them play the game so bad! When you play the game nicely, now you see all the diference between both of 'em..Maybe it's because Live's Fans play 2K10 (they do that all time on youtube) they play the game so bad just to show us that the game is not good.. but never, you'll see a 2K fan, play live...NEVER!! so It's not just because I'm 2K now (1995-2003 I've been a real EA fan), it's just the game..guys on 2k do a great job on this game..9.6, it's my note...

Good read.

**BroMontana82** · 10-06-2009, 08:01 AM

good review but yeah, a lot can be fixed with sliders like the shot percentages and some of the big problems like frame rate were not mentioned.

The problem with scores is that they are a natural point of comparison.

They are also a historical reference...and I'm pretty sure NBA 2K9 got a 9/10 rating.

That's unfortunate as there's just no way in hell that 2K10 is not better than 2K9.

Madden 10 getting a 9 and NBA 2K9's review both will kind of go down as Op Spots "things that make you go hmmmmmmm" moments.

Last year, 2K got an 8.5 from IGN and an 8 from Gamestop.
I've had 2k10 since Fri night and IMO it's better than 2K9. I'm not having any framerate issues either.

After you save it to your hard drive, adjust a few sliders and make a couple of personal tweaks to your liking (player edits, etc)...the game is great! No game is perfect out of the box...Commentary is fresh and the players look real. Once you learn this year's version of Isomotion it will be even better for you. I recommend practicing/scrimmaging until you feel comfortable with the controls.

Still the champ!

Re: NBA 2K10 Review

Yeah I can't wait to play the game today. I am kind of worried by all of the negative comments about this game that ive been reading for the past week and people posting videos about 2K10 and its problems. Im hoping some of these people are making issues bigger than what they are and the game is great.

**sportyguyfl31** · 10-06-2009, 08:20 AM

I detested 2k9, and I just do not get the feel that it is a major step up from 2k9, to warrant a immediate purchase. Nothing I have seen or read has made me feel any different.

I may rent before buying, in a couple of weeks, but I'm no hurry.

**blues rocker** · 10-06-2009, 08:52 AM

Sorry, but this rating is too high. It should get about and 8.0 to 8.2. 2k's player movement is still clunky and sluggish, the CPU teams don't play closely enough to their real life counterparts, and the defensive AI is pretty weak.

**Eddie1967** · 10-06-2009, 09:24 AM

Re: NBA 2K10 Review

Nice review. I would give it a 9 because my expectations have been exceeded in a major way, but still an excellent game of basketball nonetheless.

You said it, it feels robotic. Live may look cartoony but simulates the real thing pretty well. The passing in 2k need help also.

Amen. What a joke.

**Neo79** · 10-06-2009, 09:54 AM

Am I going crazy or what, this game is not playable. What are you guys talking about? The isomotion is just terrible, thats plain and simple. The dribbling is a joke in this game, the passing game is ********. The game is a dunk fest!! I mean, seriously. I have been playing 2k since 2007 but this year I tried the live demo and I was very impressed by how fluid the controls were. I am going with LIve this year. No doubt about it.
