I actually uninstalled the new patch and I'm good again. My plays actually work again. I play in franchise only so I would assume that most of the patch work would be for online play, IMO. The good news is if I need a roster update, I can just install the patch, get my roster's updated, then uninstall the new patch again.

Wow, I'm super impressed with this game.

I haven't played a pro basketball game since NBA 2K6 when I became disillusioned with basketball. Now that my interest is back, I had to buy this game as I loved playing the 2K games back in the day.

This is just a phenomenal experience- I'm playing 12 minute quarters and having a great time, I've never been able to stomach playing quarters that long before. It's rewarding to see Kobe do a pull up jumper and drain it. It's also great to see my Knicks get shredded on defense. The commentary is outstanding, the presentation really is top-notch (pressbook photos are gorgeous).

I was hooked to College Hoops 2K7 and thought that was the best that videogame basketball has to offer but I was wrong- this is the best basketball game I have played... period. Too bad the Knicks are awful

Just had the most amazing, satisfying... loss.

Played a NBA Today game, Heat (me) versus the Magic. First quarter both teams sort of felt themselves out; could feel like Wade was going to have a big game. Think he finished w/11pts in the first quarter, but I was down 4. During the second quarter they began chucking 3's and going lights out from the outside in the second quarter. When they missed Howard was killing me on the offensive boards. At half I'm down 19. Figured I'd just quit out but wanted to see if I could come back. So I cranked the defensive pressure all the way up. During the third they kept chucking 3's but they were no longer falling. I had gotten Howard in foul trouble so Haslem was able to dominate on the boards (finished w/16rebs). The cool thing is it wasn't like I got overly hot shooting; I just slowly slogged my way back to tie the game late in the 3rd. But Wade led the way w/all types of acrobatic shots.

Once the cpu put Howard back in I didn't adjust fast enough as he started pulling in offensive rebounds and kept the Magic going, then pushed them to a 7pt lead I couldn't overcome (could only get it to 3pts a couple times). I lost 102-95. The Magic shot lights out in the first half (61% first half, I shot 39%). Second half different story; they finished shooting 44% to my 41%. The games just flow so well. I've had lots of great games but just felt compelled to post - just so many things this game does right imo. Hearing the commentators refer back to performances in previous games or mentioning broad details about when the two teams last met is just amazing stuff. As I was coming back in the third quarter, the celebration animations the Heat players were displaying were incredible. Seeing the cpu call successive timeouts trying to slow me down and watching the dejected body language of the Magic (at the time) - again, truly great stuff. Then of course there's the tons of detail to pour through post game wrap up stuff, either with stats, the Pressbook, signature highlights, game reel, G moments. The funny thing is I paused my game several times for extended periods to do a few things... completely forgetting about the in-game save feature.

2K10 is truly an awesome game imo - absolutely love it

Been playing this a little more this week. Pretty good game. Still find the 'flow' of the game to be off tho...but it is better than it was @ release. Got two good hoops games to play now. First time in years and I'm loving it.

Played with multiple teams tonight, how in the heck do you win on this game. Defense A.I. is dead, I've seen my players just walk and move with no urgency, lost multiple offensive rebounds where players just stand there and jump seconds later.

Shooting is terrible, shot stick isn't feeling as accurate as it was in 2k8 and 2k9. Overall something is very broken. Tried to play a friend tonight got disconnected in 1st quarter, second attempt error off of 2k servers. Made some nice pictures though uploaded to 2ksports. Graphics are hit and miss, Lebron (hideous), Kobe (shameful and hideous).

Ford - Indiana (Looks great)
Granger - (Looks great)
Ross - Mavs ( Detail is incredible)

But seem like star players are just terrible. Why is that, when bench players have better player model faces?

Overall I will be playing this mofo a lot during Sunday my day off, NBA Today is nice as hell, commentary and presentation are impressive.

Continuing my draft combine and listening to those damn songs is killing me. lol

Overall I don't hate 2k10, but it definitely needs work. Also owning and playing both NBA games this season will jack your controls all up. For some reason I threw 3 alley oop passes in one game from pushing the wrong button in the actions of a pass. lol

Good Job ( VC) not great since 2k8 still holds the crown for best in series for now.

But game isn't just outright terrible, but it isn't the game it use to be.

Can't wait until Patch 1.2!!!

lol I feel your pain. But this is one of my favorite parts about the game. Most games after playing it for a little while, it gets to the point where I have to make it almost unrealistic in order for me to have a chance at losing, but this year, I think I actually have a losing record despite playing with the Celtics for most of my games (pre-patch). I'm now controlling all 30 teams and focusing on the Bucks and Jazz and as the Jazz, I got steamrolled by some scrub team (don't remember who) and then I beat Phoenix by like 28. Feels so nice to not know how it's going to go before the game starts.

I was an NBA Live guy last year...gave NCAA a chance this year...but I couldn't get past the lack of variety in the games. I liked the wide open game play but overall it didn't feel like a polished effort. So now I just picked up 2k. Haven't played 2k games in a while. For a newb like me what should I do as far as sliders, gameplay, etc? Anyone have some advice for a person new to 2k?

LOL, so because you're not good at the game then something is broken, lol, the logic of some os posters need to be checked, lol. I seriously think posters need to actually pratice the game and get the ability to win games constantly before judging it, I play on HOF with no slider changes and I win all the time, whats your problem.
