I skimmed through all 19 pages of this thread and there are less than 5 posts that mention this.

I'm not going to say that I'm not impressed because there are a TON of improvements and additions for 2K10.

The biggest problem in 2k9 was the help defense. Maybe the spacing will "help" the situation, but if this hasn't been addressed, they can add everything they want to and the game will be 2k9.5.

If a guard can penetrate the lane all day and clip through 7 footers for easy layups again this year, the forums will blow up in a negative way. Remember all the points in the paint from 2K9? Is that being addressed? What about entry passes that always magically clipped to the intended target?

Again, a lot of great stuff here and I'm excited for the game, but I really hope the defense has been looked and FIXED!

I'm a season whore, if you're unfamiliar with the phrase, that's what we called girls back in my high school days when they would change boyfriends based on the season i.e. football season, basketball season and so on and so forth. Anyway, I don't venture these parts until around Oct. annually and of course I didn't read the article so I'm 0-2.

Will this years 2K be changing the way plays are ran this time around, like the way it is in live?
I like that about the live series, but I love this game because of its animations.

Same. I wasn't planning on buying a hoops game this year but with improved spacing I'm more tempted.

The fact that he mentioned that he didn't think they had very much chemistry last year but it's different in 2k10 makes me hopeful that the commentary is much better. It's about time the NBA game had good commentary.

I think they mentioned that if they continue to use turbo after their bar gets depleted, that the players stamina will decrease dramatically while they continue to hold turbo.

So I think they can still run around "foolishly", but they will pay for it when they see that Gatorade cup pop up in the first quarter and the rest of the game.

Guess I'm in the minority because I liked 2k9's commentary. I don't get annoyed as easily as some of you guys though.

I liked all the player specific stuff that they had but there was to much of the same generic disjointed lines that were repeated over and over again.
