Thats all I'm trying to say .
All I'm saying, in my opinion is 2K9 had better defense than 2K10 . Now for many of you to call me stupid is pretty immature.
I know that 2k10 is a far more superior game, just talking about the defense .

2K9 is the ugly duckling of 2kbasketball... I had to literally force myself to play that game. The main reason being the defense. Post defense in 2k9 was a complete joke, it at least exists somewhat in 2k10. 2k10 is far more physical on every end of the court, a trend that will continue in 2k11.

BTW that a poor example, Lebron can pretty much dunk at will in real life. Try the same with Rodney Carney then maybe you will have a point. "2K10 sucks! When I play with Kobe and Lebron, they play like they're better than everyone else!" Clearly 2K need to go back to the drawing board.

LOL. Dunk at will... SMH. Lebron avg. 1.43 dunks/game last year. Dwight avg. 2.4. I can easily get at least 10/gm w/ each w/ 5 min quarters. Baseline hopsteps and the quick hesitation are simply too effective in 2k10.

this...2k8 was the best 2k game ever too me...Just an almost perfect game

Die Hard 2k Fan here. I buy it/play the s*** out of it every year.

I'll agree that 2k10 has a lot of improvements over 2k9, especially with all of the new animations. The game looks fantastic. However, I think I'm going to have to agree with the supporters of 2k9. IMO, if you're only looking at GAMEPLAY, which is most important when you play a sim basketball game, then I'd have to throw in my vote for 2k9. I can't for the life of me understand how people can say the defense in 2k10 is better than 2k9. 2k10 has A LOT of flaws on the defensive end. Scoring in the paint is WAY too easy. There's no need to take a jump shot, all you need to do is dump the ball inside and you're pretty much guaranteed 2 points. In 2k9 I would regularly hold teams to under 50% shooting, with 2k10, holding someone under 50% shooting would be like finding a unicorn. IMO, the lockdown D in 2k10 is not nearly as effective as it is in 2k9. It's damn near IMPOSSIBLE to stay in front of somebody and if you play someone that knows how to cheese around the baseline, you're finished. Offensively, I'll give the edge to 2k10 but to me, it's clearly obvious that defense took a back seat in that game.

EDIT: This is for online play only. I don't ever play against the CPU

Defense was better in 2K9?!

The same game where Yao Ming could beat anyone off the dribble with the Hesitation move where he'd move 10ft in one step?

The same game where the spin put you directly under the basket every time and you couldn't strip the ball?

The same game where doing the sizeup animation sucked all defenders into a defensive stance vortex?

The same game that didn't have fatigue meters which allowed a guy like Lebron to run around in a circle for 21 seconds until he eventually got to take off from the FT line for a dunk?


Defense was non existent in 2K9.
