NBA Developer Insights: NBA 2K10 Art Direction

[VDusen04]

All of these additions make me very happy. I frequent the Operation Sports 2K Basketball Wishlist quite often and I see all these great ideas for detailed and signature additions to the series but I always end up saying to myself, "Yeah, awesome, but would a company ever decide it'd be worthwhile to make these things inconsequential to actually gameplay happen?" I'm happy to say that it appears 2K gets it and they're going for the complete picture, not just isolated elements.

With that said, I'm still quite surprised they touched on as many details as they did (more accurate and varied cheerleader and mascot dances and movements?) I think it's all great. It certainly bridges the gap between reality and video game a bit. The small things are definitely special.

With that said, my favorite parts of the article were:

1) The picture of what appears to be the intro at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

and

2) The acknowledgment of retro jersey additions and adjustments. I hope they didn't take out too many but on that same hand I hope they added a considerable amount. Just the fact they decided to speak up and declare change for the first time since. . .mid PS2 times gets me hyped up. These can really help when creating and using classic teams.

nice blog... curious to the pre-game introductions, the little screen at the right top looks promising...

He's been visiting this specific board alot so there's no reason for him to miss the thread.

I dont care about names. I dont even read the names on a forum. And second. I read the Impressions thread before and after reading it twice I still cant find any specific answers to the blurry ps3 textures. So YOU dont tell me how I have to use this board.

Well then I guess you miss out on the answer to your question. Doesn't matter to me.

Textures are enhanced this year. Court logo, player textures, etc... all will see a face lift. You're welcome.

Stop giving this guy such a hard time.

You guys at 2K understand what it means to create a true b-ball simulation. Keep up the great work and never stop improving this great game. It's awesome, extraordinary realistic and simply beautiful to watch all the details throughout a game. As far as i'm concerned i think this is gonna be the best NBA 2K ever! When playing NBA 2K one can feel your passion and the love for this sport. Incredible animations, beautiful, stunning graphics and an unbelievably high level of realism make this great game not only the best b-ball sim ever made but also probably the greatest sport simulation ever on consoles or pc! I simply love it!
