NBA 2K10: Exclusive First Look (Gamespot)

[TheFiasco87]

after reading the article the game seems to be shaping up nicely. The be a pro mode sounds like it was really done right and not rushed, that makes me excited about it.

New animations tie directly into the signature style feature that the NBA 2K series has been working off of for years now--this year, the series is expanding the feature into something Jones likes to call "signature play." The essential addition revolves around improved player tendencies. This year, the team went out and partnered up with the NBA scouting service 82Games.com to provide detailed breakdowns on every team and every player in the league. The result is a better and more detailed understanding of how a player reacts at any point on the floor, with answers to such questions as, "Where does a player typically like to get the ball?" "When does he spot up?" "When does he post up?" The result, on the offensive side, is that players familiar with their team's individual tendencies will know how to best utilize them and where. On the other side of the ball, if you're facing up against Paul Pierce controlled by the AI, you'll know his tendency will be either to push in and shoot or try a pro step move. And, depending on your position on the floor, you'll know how to try to stop him.

WOOOO!

It seems that they've added just about everything that people asked for.

Wow. I'm actually shocked that they got the D-League license. That's pretty crazy to me.

But whatever, I don't care that much about visuals... waiting for real information. Also, LOL @ the jerseys still not sitting on their shoulders... how long has that been a problem? Jeez... look at Artest with the tin foil shorts crinkle from 2K7..

Stumble, I think the 2k vs Live graphics debate is like a "Who's the hottest girl debate" as far as who looks better: People may have their preferences but would you be upset if you got stuck with one or the other?

Ok, I'm confused. What looks so different from 2K9? Yeah I see that they added some different looks in the menus but the graphics look the same to me. Forgive me but I'm not all that excited about the new gimicky features. I want to see if the sliding is gone. I want to see if the online server actually works this year. I want to see if the AI actually rotates on defense instead of just standing around like a bunch of idiots. I want to see some physics and collision detection. (I know that's all gameplay related) I'm just not really impressed yet so the screenshots are a waste of time for me.

I can understand that they are trying to make it look like they are at different parts of the court but the players look like they aren't really standing on the court. It looks a little weird to me.

Just my opinion.
