I didnt like the lead pass early in the video to Shaq for the easy two but lebron who took about 5 shots in the post only made two.... so I dont consider that having his way... I mean is Lebron not supposed to be able to score?

I wont go as far as saying that but I can tell that the easy difficulty really does come against preventing such dunks or even contesting it ...

thus, if you really observ the play two guys went to prevent the driving and shaq was in the right position to grab the board and sink it, the other players were either too far or right below the rim ...

I feel u. I don't know why people get bent outta shape with the comparisons. I think people sometimes take it 2 far but I also think they're somewhat necessary 2 an extent. It's good 4 convo like "who's the best emcee, Biggie, Jay-Z or Nas..."? It also gives u a barometer 2 gauge each game against. Like ok...Live does this great and I'd like 2 see something like that implemented in 2K and vice versa, feel me? Ain't nothing wrong with that. It's just human nature and 2 be told not 2 do something that comes natural 2 u and doesn't hurt anyone isn't cool. However, I agree that the immature, pointless, "fanboy" driven responses are not needed. As in anything I believe if u have a legitimate, valid argument OR comparison, it deserves 2 be heard...

Ughh the one thing that erks me with 2k is how they always seem to mess up the Lakers home court......the paint is like a light off blue and they always for some reason make it purple in the paint. This video shows you how Live nailed that and how 2k failed again at this(and they been doin this since xbox days)......I love 2k but they are killing me with this....If I could get Live's courts, arena ambience atmosphere, shoes, with 2ks models and animations and gameplay then we would have the best bball game ever. Commentary is still in the air this year with the improvements to both games.

[ehh]

Can't tell all that much from the vids other than the fact it looks a lot like 2K9 to me. The visuals and animations are still beautiful but the same old gameplay problems seem to be present, though it's tough to tell since the user obviously didn't have a clue how to play the game. The Lakers' O seemed to be able to pass anywhere they wanted and get the ball inside very easily, user D better not be AWOL again this year. I personally thought the AI Lakers' offense was crisper and the CPU guys moved better on offense than they do in 2K9 even though some posters are bashing it. It was nice to see Artest with that little pull up J. Shaq's dunk on the putback was sick. Just like in 2K9 the animations on layups and getting to the hoop (LeBron) are amazing.

I'm still leaning towards not getting 2K10, I really need to see if defense will be appearing after a one year absense. Hopefully we get more vids soon.

Of course he should be able to score. I just didn't see much defense. Real defense.

Didnt like the pass too ... But the dude just forced LBJs way in, and in a pros game, you are going to end just as he did (tired, in a bad position) or blocked everytime ... so I liked that ...

Again, IGN has always... always played the game out of the box.

It was hammered home in the Live forums when their media released and it needs to be done here as well. Out of the box, the difficulty IGN was playing at was Pro.

We can only wait and see. I understand the concern, but it wasn't easy to do in the Draft Combine (even though the players were rated lower) and I doubt we'll know for sure until we see the game on All-Star or above.
