NBA 2K10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

[CoHouse2814]

i like how the announcers actually knows what day is it when the pre-intro starts out. thats hot IMO

It's funny how people are all of the sudden hating on 2K10 when two or three weeks ago most of the pessimistic posters now were loving the Draft Combine. Guys, its a demo, and not just any demo, but a demo that has been stripped of most of its best qualities. Why? I dunno, but I do know that what I see in the demo is gonna be alot different when I get the final build, if indeed it is an upgraded version of DC.

You seem to be torn between trying to keep it real (enjoying the game) or represent for the other squad (can't cay other game here).

Personally you can't call me out, because I was sold on the commentary, but after actually playing the game, it's terrible to me and too much of the same. I just went and refunded my $100 collector's edition, it's not worth it. I can get a Kobe McFarlane figure and create my own locker and update the rosters on 2k9 and save $88.

Sorry, commentary alone with the same feel of a game won't win my purchase, I have the right to change my opinion or mind, since it is my money. And personally I am not feeling this game!

After playing multiple games of the demo. I've concluded that 2k is still extremely frustrating to control. It feels like I'm fighting the controller rather than playing a video game. I don't know maybe its just me. A lot has to be re worked. The game is solid, just the framework that runs everything isn't. Just my opinion, some of you guys maybe are enjoying it. I'm trying it but that one thing is stopping me. I don't see the 9, 000 new animations and things just feel like 2k9. I was seriously hoping for better. Maybe next yr.

Well since the commentary is off for the demo, it's not giving us the full presentation package. I am over-the-moon with what I've heard of the commentary so far, but the demo had none of that, which is honestly part of the reason I wasn't feeling it. Most of my complaints are gameplay-based, but that takes away from the experience. I knew it going in, but still, they did so much work to the presentation, that turning it off for the demo takes some of the game's appeal away, especially for someone like me who didn't love 2K9... the commentary is probably the most stark and noticeable improvement to the game this year.

The things I'm most looking forward to in 2K10 are My Player and listening to the commentary during NBA Today/Association games. None of those things were in the demo... that's not 2K's fault really (commentary takes space and they want a nice sleek demo file), but it contributed to my dislike for the demo, and I think BShadows is probably in the same boat in that regard.

Just my .02 on that... don't let me speak for you, BShadows. I just don't think what he said earlier and what he said now are incompatible.

You guys need to keep your posts focused on impressions, not each other.

The warnings are obviously not working. If people find themselves spending a few weeks away from the boards, don't be surprised.

@ pared...I just wish we could weed out the people that had no intention whatsoever of enjoying the game in the first place. Getting old man.

One game's demo getting the benefit of the doubt over the other? Why am I not surprised?

People judging a full game that they don't even have yet off of a demo? Why am I not surprised? But then again, nothing really surprises me on OS anymore, especially in the Live or 2K Forums.

Played the demo at a friend of mines house last night and Im still in a "wait and see mode" because there wasnt really much I could take away from this demo and there really wasnt much I could nitpick(then again im not the nitpicking type like others are)There were some things I like in the demo and there was some things that I obviously didn't like(Alley Oop Mania 25)but I also came with the mindset that it is only a demo and that there were going to be some issues with. I also came in with the mindset from reading impressions from a few respected posters on here who have the final version of the game and show no bias towards the other company that the final product of the game isnt nothing like the demo so I shouldn't expect to see the same issues im seeing here once I tweak these sliders.

So overall, my expectation hasn't really changed just because of this demo just like it hadn't changed when I read all those previews on here.
