NBA 2K10 Interview: Ten Years of NBA 2K (Gamespot)

07:51 PM - June 30, 2009 by Steve_OS

Gamespot has posted an interview with 2K's Vice President of Sports Development Jeff Thomas, to get his thoughts on the history of the series, as well as what fans can expect from the limited edition version of NBA 2K10.

Quote:


	GS: "Now that the series prepares for its tenth installments, what do you think have been the most important cornerstones of the NBA 2K series? Conversely, has there been a feature that you knew wasn't right and had to be either scrapped or improved quickly?" JT: "The cornerstone for all of the NBA 2K series games has been the feel of the control. Running 60 frames per second is critical to how it feels and how responsive the game is. We did a feature that lasted a couple of years called 24/7, it was always kind of an "out there" feature and never well received. It ended up being scrapped, but you never know what the future will bring?"

I think 2k got the Men in black flashy thing to erase it from their memory

	GS: How much did you pay attention to the NBA videogame competition of the time, such as NBA Live or Midway's NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC back then? JT: We looked at every basketball game ever made. NBA Jam gave us ideas; we even went back to games like Dr J. vs. Larry Bird, Double Dribble and Lakers vs. Celtics, one of my all-time favorites.

Damn shame.....

It was the best up-tempo gameplay of the early sports gaming genre. Without your NBA Jams, we wouldn't be here in this forum today... at least not in the same capacity.

Respect your roots.
