NBA 2K10 Draft Combine Roundtable

[kcxiv]

i dont know how you can say this is stripping the game apart when the game never ever has had this mode. You get a whole 3-4 points advantage. I honestly think its a great thing. I rather pay for a stand alone downloadable content, then get the game, access the game and have to pay for something in there to be unlocked. Now that is freaking insanely bad. Its happening in the other game.


I hope 2K does this every year and just adds a bit more spice to it in future offerings. Maybe next year have access to play online with your chacter in team up mode with nothing but scrubs. haha


Anyways, i like the way 2K is doing it. They arent asking you to break the bank or anything. Very very reasonable price.

It's not really the points that bother me, its more the fact that you will have to go through summer league and even D-League to get into an NBA team (that comes from the 2K insights, that not using the DC will make things more difficult). I don't have much time to play as is, so for those that want to get into the game its a little hard.

TBH I would be happy if the combine part was the only thing they left separate from the main game. My point about "stripping the game apart" was more a fear that future versions would have more left out to give incentives to purchase add-ons.

For the record, as it stands now, I am fine with the Combine as it is (being standalone DLC), I just don't want to see it develop into a situation where users are purchasing a standard game and having to pay for every little extra (eg: alt jerseys, shoes, accessories, roster updates) I think those things should be in the final game for everyone!

Like I said, its not like this at the moment, but I would fear it may turn into that in time if these DLC offerings become more accepted. I could be wrong, but time will tell and I think it's something publishers should be wary of moving towards.

ya know, i have that problem as well. What problem? worrying about something that hasnt happened.

Well, your guy is supposed to start from scratch and they said its supposed to be hard. Everyone these days wants EZ mode.

The only way to stop something happening in the future is to bring up the issue now. Be proactive not reactive, thats all Im sayin'

I love the rpg elements ala MLB the show and I also like that it will probably take quite a few seasons to get a dominating player. I also like the animations and alot of the other things this DLC does and would definetly say it's worth 5bucks. Here's my problem this article doesn't mention the problems. That's just not very good journalism. Numerous times my player would get stuck on someone and do the whole Mario running thing. Also it just doesn't feel like my player always is doing what I want him to do. Mostly this can be chalked up to be because I'm stuck in an animation but it just shouldn't happen. Eg: pressure is on after the CPU scores with not much time left I'm up by two. I'm point gaurd so I run to get open catch the inbound 5 feet inbounds and my dude gets caught in some sorta hoppy catch animation and runs straight outta bounds. I've had enough of these type of instences happen to me that I feel it should have been worth mentioning if your considering paying for DLC. If it was a free demo I'd understand. Like I said IMO it's worth the 5 bucks I'll definetly be buying the game and I'm sure I'll love it but this article made it seem like this was the greatest thing since sliced bread and IMO a roundtable is there to discuss the good and bad which really didn't happen here.
