NBA 2K10: Draft Combine First Look (IGN)

07:12 PM - July 30, 2009 by ifriedrice

IGN has posted their first look at NBA 2K10: Draft Combine.

Quote:


	"The career of any NBA star begins when they're kids. Sitting out in the yard shooting hoops, pretending that the clock is ticking down on the NBA Finals and the ball is in their hands. From there, it's on to high school and, if they're lucky, a good Division-1 program where they'll earn the attention of pro scouts. Then the top 1% of those athletes makes the jump to the NBA Draft Combine with the hopes of impressing pro teams enough to make it into the two rounds of the draft. That's where 2K Sports' NBA 2K10: Draft Combine comes into play. The downloadable game for Xbox Live and PlayStation Network is scheduled to release in early September and will allow players to sculpt their player with 2K Sports' new super-deep player creation mechanic, define their play style and then participate in six full-length games and six of a possible eight drills in the hopes of making it into the coveted first round of the NBA Draft."

Offline modes take away from the actual sport and the spirit of competition. Offline modes also take away from the actual game. Developers could add more realistic gameplay if they took the kiddie stuff out of the game. Online is where the competition is. Online is where your skills are truly tested. The Game is basketball, Basketball is a sport, you play a sport against competition, competition is online....bottom line. You want some sort of league play....join an online league..bottom line. But for the kiddies this is an excellent mode. I am sure they will have fun with it. Good Job 2K!

So you are saying you are 18? Good for you.

My concern is that the time spent for developing this DLC and the new career mode was taken away from adjusting and fine-tuning the gameplay.
So I hope it will be worth it

I don't care what anybody says, the player models are solid. I've always thought that all they needed to do this year was to tweak the gameplay and give the game more long term playability. My second thought looks like it's granted and I'm sure they'll have something good for us in the gameplay department.

Also, judging from the screenshots, looks like off hand dribbling and ball security are two new attributes?

Yeah, I noticed that too.

I think it's a good thing it's not included on the disc that just takes up more space. You always hear EA and such talking about how something wasn't included or how something was left out or cut due to space limitations. With this not being on the disc it gives more space. Which is why I'm fine with all the outside downloads, in the end it just gives more. Besides in the EA games you have a option of starting in college to determine your space in the draft which is also a separate purchase.

This game mode will be on the disk as well.

What I think about the place in the draft is he's placed there based on his performance during the drills and not his overall rating. Off of that assumption then his place is fine.

# 109 LastEncore @ 08/04/09 11:48 PM

It would be against Xbox Live policy if this DLC was included on the disk aswell. That effectively makes us pay for the same thing twice. So I don't think draft combine with the drills and 6 games will be included with the game. But we know that Career Mode will be. Just not this exact mode. Atleast that's what I think. I for one would hate to pay for the exact same content twice.

# 110 Lordtime @ 08/05/09 12:44 AM

I don't think anyone's posted this but when the player draft screen comes up you notice his rating is a 39 and

1/6 games have been completed.

Fail for not noticing that.

If you did notice but didn't feel like typing it or this has already come up then I apologize. If I was wrong you have the right to qoute me and make me eat my words. And in the process make me feel like an idiot. To an extent lol.
