2K Sports Announces NBA 2K10: Draft Combine (Yahoo! Finance)

They already had player types as basic packages in the past few 2Ks, I'm not sure that these are necessarily any different or more effective on the end game than those were. I'll be optimistic, though.

Maybe b/c NBA 2k is a port, at least that's what Mike said.

Mike Wang: And I wouldn't say that we're not doing new stuff, as there are some exciting innovations in this year's title, but we're really focused on the fundamentals and getting things right. One of the things I always struggled with at 2K was when we were porting up from old gen to now, it's still just a port, and 2K has been covering up a lot of those problems with new animations. But with NBA Live, the foundation with the technology is really special, and what I see here is the potential for something that can be great. I think we're just now starting to realize that potential of what the hardware can give us, and we're capitalizing on that right now.

2nd most overused term on the OS forums. I would say "game engine" is the first.

I'm really hoping these aren't the graphics from the final build, though the shots are poor quality anyways and created players rarely ever look good.

I'm not sure why 2k consistently releases poor quality screens initially every year while the competition is releasing HD (and in the past doctored) screens that actually show off the graphics.

This is a pretty poor press release as well. Sure it's up on 2k's website but why not Gamespot and IGN instead of Yahoo Finance? I just don't understand what they're doing.

I have no idea why they do this year after year but I guess since their sales have been going up every year they just think it's what works.
