The NBA 2K10 demo has been out since Tuesday -- at least for Xbox 360 gamers -- and with the release of NBA 2K10 just days away, we felt it was time to roll out some thoughts on the demo.

Good write up. It's good to see different points of view. However, in the end, the only one that matters is the consumer's.

I agree with ifriedrice and what will matter even more is the retail version of the game which we are already getting impressions of. both good and bad.

Yep, it is nice, though, that as consumers, we actually have two basketball demos this year to compare the games for ourselves.

The same cannot be said for this year's hockey games or any other sport where exclusivity is the norm.

It's sad that basketball and soccer are the only sports this year where we've got two companies going head-to-head with two separate demos.

I was a little turned off by how slow the players were. I also wonder, how hard is it to get the rim correct on a dunk. I personally have never seen dwight howard dunk the ball and the rim not move. When it does move it goes down like an inch. I know its petty, but when your playing a game you like the dunks to look correct. Live had the same problem a couple of years ago. The backboard moves but the rim didn't. Live feels a bit more arcade like as far as speed, but its just personal preference.

The AI seemed nice and tight, although I wonder if you have rashard lewis at pf, since they had brandon bass at pf, if he would be haning out at the three point line. In live he posts up gasol all the time. Lame. I also like the post up moves. I hate isomotion though, even though I have been a 2ker since dreamcast days, I hated when they added that. I like using the stick in live better.

All in all a good demo. I just think I will have more fun playing live than I will playing 2k, although I will probably get both like I did last year.

I must be one of the few people who played good-great defense in 2k9, I would stop All action in my lane, no dunks at all, and I used many teams. 2K always does right by me. Nice write up, but somethings sell themselves, NBA2K10 is that. Live has no defense, no spacing, all dunks all the time, how anyone would want that...live10 doesn't compete. And gamers with both games know it. Gameplay rules.
