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

People, do you really think that they would let people who paid $5 for this get the editing options, career mode, etc., and then take it out of the full retail? This is just a way to wring an extra $5 out of their hardcore fanbase while giving them the chance to mess with some of the new features for a month or two before release.

They're not taking career mode or those editing options out for the final... that would be supremely stupid. This mode is just a way to develop your created career players for use in the final game.. they probably progress faster/start off better for career mode or something as a reward as well as having special achievements.

I'll probably get it just because I'm a fiend and it's $5. I like career modes anyway, so I'll probably get some mileage out of it if it's decent.

THAT'S PROBABLY because your looking at screens of the create a player. We all know the create a player's aren't nearly as detailed as the real ones because they're so customizable.

Stumble I am sure it doesn't hurt thier "stickiness" factor in getting guys who are only going to buy one game leaning towards their product before the two games hit the store shelves...

Yeah for sure.. it's a fairly smart strategy, assuming that Live doesn't release a pre-order demo a la Madden that comes out first (which I REALLY hope they do, since I'm dying to try that game). Good way to build anticipation and show off the game while making some extra scratch.. I don't knock the hustle.

At least it wasn't a damn riddle haha.

Yep, I think this might become a new trend

I need more answers!

Is this basically the association practice mode?

-more importantly-

Does this mean my loser friends can no longer create super players who are all 99's across the board?

Forget it. The 5 cents will be spent regardless.._

Not such a bad idea for 2k...I know i'll spend the money when the time comes, i'm too much of basketball junkie to just ignore it and let it float on by.

I hope this is like MLB RTTS mode!!
