Well my username is 2kfanatic but I'm not really a fanatic lol. And we are comparing basketball games right? People asked for control too so 2k gave it too so that made it ok? And in the end its not about who did it first but who will do it better and who will do it? I dont know too early to tell.

When will all sports game developers see the light that online gaming is the future! The days of playing endless seasons of franchise mode against the robotic CPU are becoming relics of the past. They better make those features avaialable online!...lol.

Good preview although like most people here, I would prefer a preview about collision and defense and how hard will it be to lead pass.

+1 I want 2K to make defense a top priority.

Or probably even after considering 2K's rep lol..

Good thing, a patch free year we hope?

Please, I want a playable game out of the box. If there will be a patch I hope its just minor and not like "my teamates dont wanna play D cause they are not making $20 dollars a year and they gotta feed their family" patch fix. Like how live 10 was said to be perfect out of the box....

Please please please do a dev insight dedicated to defense cause we really dont need too much moves to score in 2k10 because defense is so limited to the point that learning other moves is not necessary to score with Eduardo Najera.

That was a great read and sounds like they did alot of work on gameplay. Love the parts on playcalling and urgency of cuts. Like many have said, I hope they put that same kind of urgency of cuts/movement into the defensive players as well such as chasing players off screens, etc.

Screens look good for the most part and it's obvious from that heat screenshot that they fixed Wade's mug. Would have loved to see a non blurred out Melo, Pierce, and David Lee screenshot to see if they have improved as well.

In 2K10 if I wanted to, I could score with any player every time down the floor. No matter the difficulty or sliders.

But I don't want to do that because it's boring and not sim at all. I just want a 2K NBA game that rewards sim style instead of cheese style.

I also hope there is a Dev Insight totally focused on defense and how it has improved. I'd like to see more fouls: illegal screens/pushing/holding/hand-check/away from the ball fouls/double fouls/offensive fouls when you clear out the defender with your off-arm.

I'd also like to see carrying/palming/double dribble violations being added. This would be useful when you try to do too many crossovers at once.

In other words, every action should have a reaction. Or to put it in basketball terms every offensive move can be countered with a defensive move.
