NBA 2K10 Q&A: Retail Copy in Hand

02:29 AM - September 25, 2009 by Pared

I and a few others were lucky enough to attend the NBA 2K10 launch party here in NYC.

We were given full copies of the game and are willing to answer questions.

The only thing I'm going to tell you guys right now:

NO QUESTIONS ABOUT RATINGS. We already post them in the NBA 2K10 screenshots section.

Ok, let the madness begin.

Questions:

1. How cheesable is this game? Potential. Can you see any possible ways the cheese dudes can ruin the random online experience? Any crazy dunks in traffic like last few years? I know a few folks on here said that once their CAP was in the 60s for dunks, they were able to dunk at will. Is this the case now?

2. How are the non steal turnovers? I know they were present in the DC, but I attributed that to bad players trying to make plays.

Basically the CPU gave up the drive and kicked it out for an open shot, which is good because Lewis was coming over from the strong side block (Barnes was weakside wing). So they are certainly collapsing and opening up the perimeter.

Can you control who is involved on a rotation/defensive help? For example, even if I'm beaten by Tony Parker on a drive to the basket, I still don't want my teammates that are guarding Mason Jr. or Ginobli to leave their men on the perimeter, giving them open looks at a three ball.

Thanks!

I was hoping someone could tell me if you can "SUPERSIM" quarters in the game and then jump back into the game? Thanks in advance.

Wasn't it there last year?

i find it amazing how headbands are such a hot topic in this forum. i just wanna know if this game plays and feels and looks and sounds better than the previous games, that's all. yeah, accessories are a nice touch, but not the only thing i look for in a basketball game.

# 207 ryumeijin @ 09/25/09 09:12 AM

mo, pared...

since you have played both games, could we ask what game will you play more?

Hope so too...

Also, you said there was slowdown or framerate issues at times? Have you tried 2K Cam? That was brutal last year even post patch.

# 210 Hooe @ 09/25/09 09:22 AM

As someone who only played the game on default sliders last year: does the AI try fewer alley-oops? Seemed like they'd always get three or four on me a game last year (default settings, with the difficulty upped one from default). Also, is the AI just a tad less skilled on jump shots out-of-the-box, compared to 2K9?

I've heard NBA2K10 has adopted a ratings spread, a la Madden 10. How effective is it? Good move by 2K, in your opinion?

Finally, a rather specific question: is PG Sean Singletary in the game, either with the 76ers or as a free agent? Does he have his real face if so, or a generic face? Could you post an in-game picture of him if he is in the game?

Thanks.

If I knew about this party I would have went.

jason williams is in the orlando magic roster.. he's got a pretty high rating considering he already retired and didnt play last year..

# 214 Branflakz16 @ 09/25/09 09:42 AM

For those doing screens, a shot of DeRozan and/or Bargnani would be lovely.

Also, any chance the free agent list can be added to the pictures of rosters?

# 215 Rebel_INS @ 09/25/09 09:44 AM

Damn, u don't waste no time kid! Lol

# 216 urbinaa22 @ 09/25/09 09:44 AM

hi guys, thanks for all the great pics but can u please post
t mac and rockets pics please thanks!

# 217 Gmoney2002 @ 09/25/09 09:50 AM

Great stuf Pared and Mo. Two questions:

1. Pared you mentioned this breifly in an earlier post but when running plays if a player doesn't get to a spot on time(impeded by a player) does the play still break like last year? and if so, how often does this occur?

2. How fast can you trigger the jumpshot animation this year? can you successfully execute a pump fake-step in jumpshot? Aaron said it's improved from last year but how much so?

Thanks in advance guys.

# 218 Mintsa @ 09/25/09 09:53 AM

Hey guys...quick question. I dont need a screenshot or anything. Is the Raps home court the same in your build as in Steve's video ??? Basically is the Baseline wood and the wood along the perimeter of the court a "lighter" wood ???

Thanks.

It's funny cause last night as SOON as u said that, J. Cole said "Yoooo, that looks EXACTLY like Carmelo"! Lol
