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.

No, you have one option: Headband Yes or No.

I'm playing lots of quick games. I'll have to come back to this later.

They go up to the table and leave the warm ups on. Once the play is dead, the warm up disappears. You can't see it in the game, as the camera is focused elsewhere. Have to go into replay mode and look for it.

The defense is definitely improved. There is more "meat" to players, as they have weight on them, something that you had an idea of in the Combine.

Out of the box, it has a more realistic feel. I don't feel the need to lower the speed so far, which is a first.

Very nice... the weight to the players lends to this immensely. You can't just go by the defender...

I wouldn't say dramatically. You can still get to the hoop, although it's not like last year where you can just go through people. Plus players are missing more ala 2k8 pre-patch.

I'm glad you said the defense is like NBA 2k8 pre-patch. That is definitely good news

Simple.

How's the arena sounds? Lighting and everything? Can you tell the difference between a regular season game and playoffs as far as the atmosphere? Can you choose atmosphere like in Live?

The post offense is phenomenal. My gripe with it is, just like last year, you feel like once a shot is up, it's going in. Hard to explain. The system needs a controllable release.

Red headbands at home, not sure about away.

Honestly... the graphics are insane. I'm blown away that they were able to put work into the graphics. Player faces are hit or miss... as in the shots, Melo looks terrible, but the courts are hi resolution once again.

I honestly would say the textures are up there with Live's textures. The game pops more, but not TOO MUCH as I feel it does in Live.

Something to note, the reds all seem to be slight shades off. I know it's not my TV... they just don't have some colors the correct shade to the naked eye, specifically reds.

I did notice some frame-rate stutter here and there. Seems like it is in some arenas once again.

thanks

Pared, what did you think of turbo feature?

Sounds are INCREDIBLE. You can close your eyes and it sounds like a real game.

My biggest beef is that damn overhead two handed pass animation. It really throws the look of everything else off. It needs to go!

One awesome thing... if you take a 3 in front of the away teams bench, they will scream at you.

OH! Vince Carter has a new shot too. Very nice and lazy, he doesn't kick that leg up anymore.

I'm going to make my own thread for this. I'm trying to keep up with this thread while working on a presentation I have for class tomorrow morning. .gifs are probably out of the question for tonight.

Still there

Coming..

Hows the cpu play on levels higher than pro?

Does the CPU cheese like in 2k9(leade passes, alley oops, passing up open jumpers to drive, force there way to the basket)?

I need more time to give an impression for sure. All I know is I saw dudes all over the place tonight with ZERO energy wondering why they weren't able to make shots and why guys were turning the ball over.

That is outstanding.

# 40 infam0us @ 09/25/09 02:59 AM

Another simple question, are jerseys still restricted to home and away? Like you can't wear your alt jersey at home?
