NBA 2K10 Videos (IGN)

[Jakeness23]

2K all the way! This game is gonna be siiiicckkk. Not to upset any Live fans, I thought those games were good up until I played 2K for the first time, which was like 2K6 or 7. but anyways, I think 2K will be much better than Live this year (don't rant about the contrary to me, you won't convince me). I'm just here to say, that I CAN NOT WAIT til October 6th!

Damn right. Seems like you have to wade through the posts to really find guys that actually see the basketball improvements.

It's sad that these things have to be pointed out for them. Speaks volumes on the individuals saying nothing has changed.

Say what now? Since when have you been a "loyal 2k purchaser?"

As for the video, here's the way I'd break it down in regards to last year's major complaints:

1) People complaining about control, no solid way to really form an opinion.
2) Balls going through players/lack of collision - Didn't seem to be an issue from that video.
3) CPU not taking jumpers we saw a few, including the CPU passing off in mid-shot to a wide open Gasol as Shaq came up to contest.
4) Lack of help D - It's there this year. Even if this is a low difficulty setting, it's obviously there. Guards sagging off, leaving their men... If you don't see it, then I'm not surprised people aren't seeing any improvement.
5) Layups going through players - None in the video. Players gather and shoot over defenders. Again, collision.
6) More control by the CPU when running an offense. Check.
7) PG's no longer go to the top of the 3 point line and setup plays that seemingly take forever.
8) Kobe posting up on a smaller guard. CPU CONTROLLED KOBE. First time I've seen a SG go in the block in 2k.
9) The commentary is right up there with the best I've ever heard. The flow was incredible, notice that Harlan NEVER cuts out what he's saying as the game goes on... Hopefully there is some ability to do that though on a big play as we saw with the Shaq follow (incredible reaction, by way).

Now this is all from those 3 minutes, and quickly off the top of my head. I've already mentioned I hate the way the two handed overhead passes look... but so far, it's definitely an improvement this year.

Why people think they are supposed to be WOWED and have their breathe taken away is beyond me. How much of a graphical jump in ONE YEAR do you dudes expect to see? Come on now

Exactly.. Too much whining.. either buy the game or move on to Live.. just that simple

I have been considering switching to Live this year and this video only makes me want to switch more - 2k10 looks sluggish as ever, and the dribbling control is non-existent. I am not a Live fanboy by any means (like I said, I have been a 2k guy) - I am just calling it like I see it. Live just looks more responsive and the controls really allow you to do what you want, when you want. I like that about Live this year.

Not looking good.Its looking like NBA2k9.5. That my player mode should be fun tho.

LOL at these guys who says they've been 2k fans since dreamcast days...true fans see whats been done to the game...right now im loving the spacing, the help D, the atmosphere and the commentary (which i hated for years)

graphically this is going to look beautiful when playing on 1920 X 1200 on my PC...i hope they kept the same numbered iff files for the dornas so it should be easy for me to mod those first

on a side note i might be getting this game early come next week heres hoping anyway...this is the same place that got madden a week early as well but didnt bother since i wasnt hunting for madden...

I hope that new put back dunk animation by Shaq is a rare occurence. If this was an EA game, the animation would be overused. Gotta admit though, it did look nice and the commentary reaction was perfect.

it was pretty rare to see tip in slams in 2k9...so this was nice to see...playing the combine the tip in dunk didnt happen alot either...i played the combine to death and i probably saw a total of 5 tip in dunks....
