NBA Developer Insights: NBA 2K10, NBA Today

Heh, except that Live also has dynamic commentary that was already announced with 100+ storylines that get activated through the DNA updates.

This sounds like it might be a little better, but the concept isn't new or something far beyond what Live will have. Just an FYI in case you missed that announcement.

You can never have enough stat overlays in the game. Its one of those "little" things, that fans have appreciated for quite some time, but it hasn't been done quite to the extent that it could be done. Having overlays to coincide with the commentary, then have the commentators delve deeper into the statistics that showed up on the overlays (rather it be road trips, injuries, individual performance from previous game etc), makes this sound like commentary has finally took that "next level" step. They've promised new commentary in the past, but never to this extent, and never with this type of detail and excitement. Then you add to the fact, that the commentators are no longer locked into their lines when something big happens.......... As I've said, now that anticipation is building with me, slowly but surely.

Very true.

I'm not worried about 2K's presentation, they're miles ahead of Live imo (will have to wait and see for '10 though). But seems like they outdid themselves again this year.

Sounds real good. I really don't care much about NBA Today as I spend most of my time in the franchise mode of whatever game, but the fact that they can do what they say they're going to do flat-out amazing.

Nah its far beyond Live's imo because it effects franchise. DNA has nothing to do with my ongoing franchise and only effects play now and online games. If Wade gets traded in real life but not in my season, I dont want to hear the announcer talking about the adjustments that th Heat will have to make now that Wade is gone.

I think they (iminurbase)hinted that it would affect dynasty but you know they have a schedule on when they release certain info


Either way im excited to hear that basketball games period are stepping things up!

Nope, it's in every mode. If you're playing online or quick games, it'll be based off of the DNA updates/real-life information. If you're in Franchise, the storylines feed off the in-franchise information (i.e. Granger has a huge year and leads the league in scoring).

I stand corrected.

Can you tell me what's ID?
