NBA 2K10 Videos (IGN)

[fffffffff9]

I'm not buying this if the perimeter game stinks again.

Last year, if you tried to play Kobe the way Kobe actually plays, you'd spend the entire game ice cold. Dude takes 80% of his shots as jumpers, and most of those are extremely difficult shots.

Won't truly know until the demo drops...

I made that observation earlier in the thread, Im a die hard laker fan I havent missed a game in 6 years, with that said... D Fish doesnt not initiate the lakers offense at ALL, Kobe does, and if you look at the 2k Vid you will notice Kobe will get the Offense started then go down to the post for a screen and then pop out looking to score.. Ive scene this scenario in real life for real, the only thing live did that was accurate in that vid was the players stood in a triangle formation, but they didnt run the offense. Also if you look at the 2k Vid you can see Phil Jackson doing his signature "whistle" and waving his hands, the lakers sit down after the first made basket, on Live it seems like they are standing the whole game.

naw 2k jus jacked up the court.....and like someone else stated, the halfcourt line aint yellow....you'd think they get the court of the nba champs right. You know the Lakers will be the most played with team and they got it wrong....along with their organ and chants.

This

you don't have to tear one down to build the other up. In understanding be men!!!!!!

That said 2k has always been about subtle details . As such you really won't know what you have until you play it a good while. I like this. LOT better than the first video last year.

inros took me back to dreamcast days. Loved it. As I said with the other game it's probably not going to be perfect. If you can live with what it does not do well you will probably have a he'll of a game on your hands

@pared
excellent post on the differences !!!

I don't like those one handed jump passes in 2K at all. They need to go. You don't see those too often in the NBA.

Shaq (his body type/size) looks a bit odd to me.

Play by play/color commentary sounds waaay better.

Loved seeing Kobe taking advantage of his size in the post. Actually backing his defender down. Great sign.

Looks solid, but I need to see more gameplay videos. Nothing wowed me.

tiny head...ive noticed that a few of the players suffer from this...probably because of the new head models they have but still they couldve enlarged em just a wee bit...was that nit picky? lol

the only player that looks to be in proportion is D Fisher...

2k has it right. Thats Jack's seat and they will never change that seat.

perimeter game is great in 2k9 its just that people dont have the confidence to shoot the midrange. i rarely play with the lakers but when i do, i just run plays and get open jumpers. its something so simple that only 15% of the population actually take advangate of.
