I knew the smoke that had initially surrounded this rumor, had some fire to it, and as I expected, the DLC/draft combine appears to be a lot deeper than what was first thought. I really like what I'm hearing from this new mode, and I believe its going to add depth to the overall package that is NBA 2K10.

Edit:It appears that they even released screens of it.... Wasn't expecting that at all from them. Nice.

I only recently began learning the joys of Association mode. Really not a "create myself" kinda guy, but seems like a great value for what it is - can't beat $5 really. Guess it has a ton of potential for those that like creating fictional players and inserting them into the game. Or even creating past college/pro players and working them through a career.

The amount of signature options alone is ridiculous; almost seems like there's too much that can be customized from what it looks like. If the practice court is relative to the pro courts, looks a little wider. Hopefully there won't be a bunch of default black or white shoes on the players and the Insider or whoever takes time to customize the players for default rosters

Yea, I know how you feel man. I don't really like creating players, but it is optional to get the Combine or not. I want to see what Association has to offer now, it wasn't that interesting in 2k9.

for 500 points , ill probably get it just to kill some time before the game is released. Gives us a little taste of the gameplay and stuff.

# 25 JWiLL02 @ 07/28/09 12:28 PM

This looks interesting and all that...but are those seriously the graphics we'll see in 2k10? Those screenshots look like 2k5. Then again 2k has a history of releasing terrible quality screenshots.

I'm hoping those are just the graphics from the combine, which are a dumbed down version of what will be in the final game. If not that's a huge disappointment considering how much Live has stepped it up in the presentation department.

I think it is pretty cool , for 5 bucks i think it is not too bad at all.
They get a little extra cash and we get a little early time with the game and it all intergrates into the game. NICE 2k

# 27 ai2k2 @ 07/28/09 12:34 PM

Wackest news I ever saw.

# 28 23 @ 07/28/09 12:35 PM

LOL check out the early thoughts before this thread was made

This sounds legit. And thank God it's only 400 points. I'd rather it be free, but I have points that I can shell out.

Shoe editor looks tight, the signature style options are ridiculous. Every I think that 2k just needs 5 yards for a first down, they take 15 and hit pay dirt. I never imagined they'd go that in depth with just shooting styles.

I will say that I'll be disappointed if these customization options are only for created players and can't be edited for the original rosters.

# 30 jfsolo @ 07/28/09 12:49 PM

A lot of us don't care one whit about Career type modes, but I bet almost all of us are going to pony up the five bucks for this DLC just to get an early taste of the game. I know I probably will and I'm already angry with myself for being so weak.

# 31 23 @ 07/28/09 12:53 PM

I guess I wouldnt mind a career mode...

It has some replayablity to it if done right... it was Sony's biggest catch and their game needed tons of work.

I might get it but im indifferent either way at the moment.

Nothing wrong with putting your own player in the game...how about a team of guys though?

# 32 Goffs @ 07/28/09 12:53 PM

^^ hahaha same! i dont like chise at all but im faltering...its only 5 bucks! i wonder if they have a summer league of some type that you can play online....hmm that would be good

# 33 wrestlinggod1 @ 07/28/09 12:53 PM

i think portlandblazer and nogster will do an EXCELLENT job doing rosters in 2k10 with all of those customization choices

# 34 jmood88 @ 07/28/09 12:54 PM

Just in case people didn't see the screens

# 35 BroMontana82 @ 07/28/09 12:55 PM

is this going to be based on the 2k9 build or will be on an updated platform at all?

# 36 DC @ 07/28/09 12:57 PM

Yea I feel the same way. I stopped creating myself in Live 96. If I create anybody it is usually people that aren't on a game. I don't know what I will do. I just hope we can do all of the ATTACKS Drills from the regular game

# 37 Kully @ 07/28/09 12:57 PM

I never understood why 2K's accessory colours tend to seem messed up.

For example, in this picture the white armband looks silver:

Small issue, but it does bother me a tad.

# 38 wrestlinggod1 @ 07/28/09 12:58 PM

the fact that there is only one position and not two gives me hope that we will have something similar to a depth chart that would GREATLY help the rotation

I'm just guessing of course, but with all the new sig options that we see in the screenshot, I would think that it would be a 2k10 build because of all the new animations that your player has to be able to perform.

# 40 DubTrey1 @ 07/28/09 01:02 PM

In looking at the screens, it appears "eyebrows" have made a return for created players....

Now if 2K could just have a hair style editor that has a "fade" - I would be happy LOL!!
