One thing i noticed was the big improvement on the Crowd. I just hope that it was very loud because of the lakers. I mean i would kind of be dissapointed if it sounded the same for the Nets because that place is dead almost every game unless its close down the stretch

Not sure how I'm the only one around that's excited! Presentation was awesome, added commentary with that branching stuff they used in their MLB game (but hopefully the color commentator doesn't go into that long Gasol comment every game if I'm using the Lakers in franchise, if so, oh well I guess), waaaay better crowd noise and reaction which will add to the drama and life of games hopefully, and finally Kobe pulls up for a jumper without me having to wait till someone does a player tendency overhaul. Game looked solid to me and I don't have any problems with "sluggish" animations because it's not moving at a lightning fast NBA Jam er I mean NBA Live 10 pace, but maybe I'm an optimist. And the dribbling looked like, well, the way it looked like in the Draft Combine game. Surprised!? I'm not blown away ofcourse, cause I wasn't expecting a brand new game like some of you seem to be. And if that's what you're looking for, you're going to have to wait 'till a new console comes out to be honest 'cause both camps will just be refining their current engines till then. I'm pumped though! And yeah, why do the user players in these videos usually play like it's the first time they ever played a sports game? Show me a cpu v. cpu matchup next time, or 2 people that know what they're doing at least.

My main concerns for 2k10 were the spacing(and help defence), player size, player control, and most importantly the players actually playing like they do in real life.

Judging from the draft combine, and the vid especially, the spacing looks much much better in this vid than the DC even though DCs wasnt all that bad, but in the vid you dont really have the players on the same team running infront of the ball which was a major flaw last year. And to go with that, obviously making the players smaller helped a lot in this regard. The fact that there was a lot of drive and kick action where perimeter players helped off their man was very encouraging to see.

The player control is yet to be determined obviously as its hard to tell from the vid.

But from what I've read from the poster who played the game and this vid, the guards isolating now is going to be a major factor in why I get this game and hopefully play it for more than 3 months. My biggest concern, besides the control which sucked last year, was the stars playing like their real life versions. If the players tendencies really do make that big of a difference and you can NOTICE how much different Kobe plays compared to say, Wade, then I'll be thoroughly satisfied.

Playbooks often dont matter in the NBA especially come playoff time where most teams run the 'give it to our star player and play off them', and not a play out of the UCLA offence or the triangle offence. Theres only a few teams that really run complex offences the entire game, the Lakers obviously being one of them. But again, as long as the stars play like the stars and the player packages are on point I'll be very happy as I'm mostly an offline player. I want playing the CPU to be a challenge this year, and not only that but having to differentiate my defence and how I play against certain teams based on having to slow down the other teams best players, who generally are their teams entire offence.

Hopefully CP3 runs pick and rolls all game long, whereas a guy like Granger is coming off of screens and taking pullups all game. If thats the case and the player control is better we're in for an amazing game. I really hope 2k fixed the warping and lack of control.

No the issue is people not knowing how to reasonably measure their complaints. Many of the things people are complaining about have to be backed up with their share of corroborating evidence.

Complaining about too many PIP in a 3 min video is stupid. Yet I've seen people doing it.

A responsible complaint would be noting how Kobe hit the backboard on the cross court pass to Artest. This is a 3 year legacy issue that's still in the game.

Another complaint that could miss the mark is talking about the Laker purple. Maybe it is messed up, or maybe between the inaccuracies of color depth on video capture equipment and video compression the colors may not be what they should.

A RESPONSIBLE complaint would be Gasol using a hook shot when no one was even close to him.

There is a difference. Is sad that the people here don't get that.

As of right now off this short vid Im not impress one bit, but u cant really gather too much from that vid. 2K is 2K so I already know what to expect and not expect from them by now.

that kevin harlan moment at 1:24 was awesome!
