	"There's several different ways of looking at 2K Sports' upcoming download-only game, NBA 2K10 Draft Combine. On one hand, it can be seen as 2K Sports' answer to the "Be a Pro" modes that have recently popped up in EA Sports' games. On another, it's an easy way for 2K to grab a few extra dollars from the NBA 2K faithful who are desperate to get their hands on the game. Alternately, Draft Combine can also be seen as a natural extension of the success of the long-running NBA 2K series (which is celebrating its ten-year anniversary with this year's game), as well as a preview of what to expect from the full version of NBA 2K10 coming this fall. However you look at it, it's clear that 2K Sports is taking a chance with Draft Combine. The game is limited both in scope and duration, and that limited span ties directly into features that will be a part of the full version of NBA 2K10. The game is centered entirely around your created player, as you take him through the drills, games, and shoot-arounds that make up the activities at the NBA Draft Combine."

	Look for more on the game in the coming weeks, and an exclusive look at the full version of NBA 2K10 this Wednesday.

I like reading...and it was subtle too

# 3 jyoung @ 08/03/09 10:16 PM

So you get to play 6 drills, 6 games and that's it?

No more playing the game unless you want to reset your guy and start a new character?

How much is this thing going to cost, 'cause that sounds like a bit of a rip for a game you get to play for maybe a day or two before getting shut out of it.

That was a good read. Alot of info there. Seeing the expansion of categories amongst positions is nice to see. The options on their CAP looks exhausting man with all those shooting and dribbling options. The people who were nice enough to make rosters with all the missing players for 2k9 will certainly have their hands full with 2k10.

Hope some gameplay is released soon!

Still a ways off, but this year looks like it will be a great year for hoop players. Both games are trying their best to get our money.

I'll probably get this mode and choose to be a point forward first.

# 8 noshun @ 08/03/09 10:35 PM

Sounds nice indeed. Already paid off 2K10,and looking forward to this game.

# 9 Hassan Darkside @ 08/03/09 10:52 PM

So this game mode has absolutely no replay value...at least until 2k10 comes out?

# 10 SageInfinite @ 08/03/09 11:02 PM

Nice to get a look at 2k10 early but I have no interest in this type of stuff. The spacing looks nice

# 11 Lordtime @ 08/03/09 11:16 PM

This seems like a nice feature. I'm sure they'll be dozens of different drills based on posistion and what kind of role you pick

You can only make one character. If you try to make a second, it erases your first.

Anyway, for only $5, it's not that bad of a deal. I was expecting them to charge at least $10, but $5 is pretty reasonable.

The CAP might actually be good!

# 14 Mintsa @ 08/04/09 12:52 AM

So after you create a player and go thru the drills. You can't play it anymore unless you go to a different position ???

# 15 BOSsTOwN @ 08/04/09 02:01 AM

Some people just don't want to pay Anything for a practice mode and drills

# 16 kurt2134 @ 08/04/09 02:02 AM

I'll definitely buy it for only 5 bucks. I'm happy to see the improved CAP mode and all the customization options for signature stuff

Pretty sure you can create as many guys as you want, but can only upload one guy to the 2k Server, which has all the rankings and stuff.

omfg, new tattoos!

I like, 2k finally seems to get it right.

# 20 ctu130 @ 08/04/09 04:00 AM
