Thanks a bunch!!!

see its little things like this that I check for. When the playoffs start, there should be different introductions and reactions from the players when they win or lose. When you make it to the Finals, there should be a short cut-scene of the guys in the locker room spraying champagne everywhere, gathered around the Conference Championship trophy, etc. When you win the title, there should be cameramen and reporters all over the court, with the players huddled around each other, wearing white championship tee shirts and ball caps....things like that.

I brought this up when I was out there but it was to late to add any other options to the coaching options interface. Hopefully we will see more options like this in the future.



Until then this kind of thing is tied into your pressure setting. If you set your man to play Kobe "tight" he's less likely to rotate/help than someone who's pressure setting is normal or loose.

Also, is the AI just a tad less skilled on jump shots out-of-the-box, compared to 2K9? I've heard NBA2K10 has adopted a ratings spread, a la Madden 10. How effective is it? Good move by 2K, in your opinion? Finally, a rather specific question: is PG Sean Singletary in the game, either with the 76ers or as a free agent? Does he have his real face if so, or a generic face? Could you post an in-game picture of him if he is in the game? Thanks.

He is in as a free agent. I assigned him to philly to snap a shot:

Or is it all still Rookie Bigman 1-5 or Pro Guard 1-4 etc.? There are All-star and Superstar packages. - Does the game display the overall rating somewhere in the edit player/create player screen? No - When you create players, is the option to create another player at the top or the bottom of the list? No 3. How does the Create a Rookie Class feature work? Does the game just create 60-70 random players which you can then edit or do you create them one by one? Would any of you be kind enough to post a picture from this feature? The game has 60-70 players that you can go in and edit. You use the same CAP system that you use to create a player/my player. 9. Have there been made any changes to the Blacktop mode(s)? No. Grateful for all and any answers. You guys do a bang up job

No problem

I don't see these or the Rockets' new ones. Hopefully they will be added.

And one more question is the cpu able to recognize that they have a mitch match

I would have to spend some more time to see if the AI realizes it has a mismatch, I haven't really been looking for it. They do run PnR's though. Utah ran it about 6 times on me in the 1st quarter.

That's a pretty big thing IMO because there isn't one team in the league that doesn't use Pick and rolls extensively. It would be nice to see the A.I. use pick and rolls on broken plays or on the fly.

See previous. I saw the Jazz run them, but that's sort of their bread and butter. I will test some more teams out to see if teams' whose game plan doesn't revolve around the PnR run them.

There are a lot more stat overlays. I haven't really looked at the assist problem, I will get back to you on that.

Iverson is in the game as a Free Agent. I'm sure he will be assigned to the Grizz when the first update hits. I'm not posting his ratings.

I purposely ignored Association questions. I have them saved in a doc, I'm going to start one up and group them all together.

Yeah I agree, I would love to hear about this, but in all my MANY times in asking these guys to hit me up about the playoffs or championship celebration, they never deliever, they are really too busy to go that deep in the association to answer our questions unfortunately. You're probably going to have to wait until somebody gets it earlier from a mom and pops store and ask them.

Great job MC.

Can I ask for a Stephen Jackson screen? And if my question regarding if his shot has been fixed could be answered, that'd be appreciated as well.

[Bornindamecca]

Wow. Pistons look great.

DeRozan bout to choke a bitch.
