I definitely didn't have time (or the music) to check what each description meant.

The new aggressive D is cool but it's not this insanely amazing addition. It allows you face up on your player and close space on the ball handler. That makes me think... I wonder how it works off the ball, if at all in that scenario.

Here's a tidbit: So far, it's essential to staying in front of your man. I don't feel I can stay in front of my man without it, but I may just need more time with the game.

Also, if you have a ****ty record, is attendance down, or is the arena packed like you're 60-0? I really hope this was addressed. also do the Suns have the 92/93 season throwbacks like NBA Live has this year? Thanks.

Things like this I will look for and answer when I can. Not in front of the game right now.

BTW, I LOVE your user name. Go NY Go NY Go!

Could please post some full body screenshots of Legends (Either in edit mode or ingame) 3. Can you edit short size for current players? Many thanks, and appreciate the time and effort you're both putting in this thread. Cheers

I haven't played with the Legends but I'll put it on my list for tonight.

I'll try and check tonight. Is it a home or away jersey? They did not have any alt's while away. In fact, I think the green away alt. is gone.

My question being, and not sure if someone already asked it, but are animations like that in this years version of 2k? It seems like past series the animation for a step-back, fall-away, or fade away jump shot have been using the step-back button and then hitting the jump shot? It seemed like Live had it as one whole animation which seemed a bit more fluid rather than the past versions of 2k Having had a chance to play the game, are some of those animations more fluid in this years game? Thanks

No, it's still controllable. The fade-aways out of the post is how you describe... and they look INCREDIBLE. I played against the Lakers last night (BTW, blackout is there in the arena but it could definitely be darker in the crowd. Live does this better from what I saw in the demo) and Kobe to the ball on the low block, turned and hit a fadeaway for the first shot of the game. Just a thing of beauty.

MC might be able to get this in an animated .gif.

I saw a demo of 2K10 and hear the arena sounds of the Staples Center. You said that you could close your eyes and feels like a true arena. I don't know what may have changed with the actual retail copy, but those are not the sounds of the Staples Center. May this is just a matter of opinion to you. If it is, we can't debate on opinions and I highly respect your feelings on game sounds.

There is some sliding, but it's better than last year. All those long animations that I know a lot of you guys hated from 2k9 seem to be gone. The game is seriously cleaned up.... but there are still a few oddities here and there.

In terms of sounds, I'm referring to the crowd and the general ambiance, oohs and ahhs. The commentary... it all comes together well.

Both games haven't been able to capture the authentic organ sounds. It really annoys me... I went off about this in the Live forum and it's warranted here. NYC does not chant "Go Knicks Go" and it's here. I'm still waiting for someone to get the ambiance of MSG correct.

Player control is tighter and the Combine gives you a good idea about this. Long canimations have DEFINITELY NOT been an issue.

I'll have to check, we only tried one as a vs. game. I would think you can, since the controller select screen comes up. Don't take that as confirmation though!

Absolutely. The tendencies are spectacular as well. I think some guys might be off. Knicks fans know Duhon and Lee ran the PnR often and I didn't really see it out of them when I played against them. It was only one game, but that's what I saw.

I'll be able 2 give more indepth impressions when I get home and get a few more games under my belt... And yeah, ur face was priceless man Lol

Yeah, I felt like I just stepped into the twilight zone. I was floored anyone could think that it was a "EXACT" representation of Melo.

I felt like smacking the dude and telling him to stop drinking.

"Patience, grasshopper."

We await the answer.

The game play looked a lot better in video 1 (posted on this site) then I had expected after seeing and playing the draft combine.

The main issue, IMO, last year was that CPU superstars didn't play like superstars or even generate superstar stats during sim. There was no trying to figure out how to stop Kobe when playing the Lakers. They didn't even get him the ball a lot. If I played on a team with two superstars, locked in as one of them, the second guy didn't do much.

In the NBA Live demo it's clear that superstars get the ball more often, and play more like superstars then in past versions.

Hopefully 2K10 will be the same.

The best part was the timing of it all LOL It felt scripted! It's funny cause even RJ was saying how he didn't care 4 Melo's face 2. But hey...different strokes 4 different folks. His mustache is pretty good tho Lol

1.) Can you list the legends in the game?

2.) Do the Milwaukee Bucks, Orlando Magic, and Oklahoma City Thunder have mascots? They were missing last year.

MarvellousOne · 09-25-2009, 02:06 PM

There is quite a bit of pages, so I am not sure if this question has been addressed yet but, are catch and shoots finally done correct? In the past we all know that players really couldn't come off a screen, be passed the ball and instantly go up for a shot, the game would make the player catch setup then shoot a jumpshot, instead of being able to pull off the Ray Allen off ball screen catch and quickly go up with the shot.

Also, how does the cpu handle clutch time situations? Do they have a sense of urgency this year down in the final stretch of the game if there behind?

Game is looking nice, and thank you for taking the time out to answer questions.

Jump shooting is MUCH more responsive. I don't feel like I'm going to be blocked like last year. A lot of the long, drawn out jumpshots are history. That reminds me, I need to check Boozers jumper.

TD has a new jumper as well.

I still haven't been able to have a close game. Hopefully tonight and tomorrow will bring more time to check this out.

Ed21 · 09-25-2009, 02:16 PM

Yo Pared, any chance you can check to see if we can edit what shoes the players wear?? Not just the colors but the actual shoes, those generics will get boring!

Good work and thanks in advance.

Hey Pared, I asked this before and you may have missed it, so here it goes:

Have you played association mode yet? Is there draft day trades? How's the restricted free agency portion of the association mode?
