The standard gameplay is something that I spent quite a bit of time with and I noticed some significant changes to the core mechanics. For starters, IsoMotion, the dribbling mechanic that governs how you handle the rock, has been simplified. The developers felt as though the old IsoMotion was a bit too inaccessible, so they've gone to great lengths to ease players into it. Now the left trigger is all you'll need to execute IsoMotion moves. The right trigger opens up a few more advanced dribbles, but the left trigger should be your focus. I was able to easily pull off crossovers, spin moves and size up moves using the new mechanics. Even the likes of Monta Ellis was able to cut and weave his way through the defense for a 20+ point performance

What a joke...This really pissed me the hell off. Makin it easier for people who just wanna spin and crossover to the hoop and jam. How could they possibly make the isomotion easier? The hell?

^ yea youre right its not poor but its not what one wud expect especially since he is on the cover i think dey could have done a way better job

^ uh oh, here we go again with the non-realism. I guess sex sells, but it doesn't necessarily make for a quality movie.

Wow I mean he's not even going for a modest dunk there, he's trying to yank the ball back like it's NBA Jam. At least make it LeBron cause Kobe doesn't do that stuff anymore.

Kobe doesn't even get that damn high anymore man...expecially not over 2 damn people.

you guys have to admit wade and VC as well as kobe are off by a large margin .. i mean i no gameplay is more important but im also a fan of visuals and these graphics are good not great .. i would expect a little more from the #1 rated nba game

I can! Im really trying to get pumped for 2k this year. Hell i even have the collectors edition reserved, but its really not looking that appealing to me. Maybe because 2k9 burned me, but it really seems like the series is starting to cater to the mainstream and away from the hardcore fans like us who have been with them since dreamcast.

Remember when you were rewarded for sim play and punished for arcade play? Based on last year it seemed like push LT while moving, spin, spin,behind the back, dunk was all the game was.

Im waiting on vids and the demo, but if it feels even remotely close to 2k9, im not buying 2k10. I will just stick with NBA 2K8 and Live 10.

All of the 2k fanboys might call me a EA fanboy, and its cool, because EA is what i grew up on, but i have been a 2k fan since day one, so my opinion is not baised. I really hope the vids and demo change my mind though.

2K is really starting to become the pretty girl with the stinky breath, while Live is transforming from the ugly duckling to the prom queen.

I can somewhat deal with that kobe, but wade looks horrid. And why does Jrich look like a hobo? Man, they messed his face up.
