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.

at the end of a game (or during) when you go2 Gametrack is it offense plays only or does it show defense like 2k8?

and do u think you can go into 'scenario mode' try to hit a buzzer beater and see what the reaction is like

Has it been confirmed that CAP's and rookies still have silhouettes?

Can you check whether player's feet slide behind the 3pt line if you shoot near it.

I played Live a little bit more because the generated stats had a few more superstar like numbers, especially for scoring. But in the end the game became boring, like 2K9, because I was always the best player on the court (player lock.) If I used a scrub I was the best player on the court because I was the only player playing with intensity. It looks like Live is the same, no superstars playing like superstars, and if all these guys with 2K10 haven't seen it happen (superstars going off for big games) then it's not in that game. I played, or watched as the CPU played, hundreds of 2K9 games last year. Only once did a superstar have a 50+ point game, and generally guys like Kobe scored 10-15 PPG with few rebounds or assists. I was hoping one of the games had superstars playing like superstars, rather than just 1 of 5 starters who may happen to hit a few more jump shots when/if they take them. Superstars take over games, the offense runs through them, they're the first option, they demand the ball when things get tight and often they torch you. 5 minutes of play will tell you whether superstars play like superstars. 50 minutes will verify the initial impressions.

watch the gameplay, Melo is getting the ball a lot and i believe he had the highest score in the first half.

# 530 tha2one @ 09/26/09 07:22 AM

Target Center in Minnesota Pics?

Wizards Verizon Center Picture? Last year the Overhead scoreboard was waaaay off!

OKC Thunder's Ford Center Picture also? Want to know if the Ford Center is printed on their Court Floor.

On create a player..did they add more Kicks from the draft combine or stayed the same amount?

Thanks!

# 531 baseball88 @ 09/26/09 09:08 AM

How many teams can we control for a season or dynasty?

Thanks

# 532 JWO35 @ 09/26/09 09:10 AM

Is the Championship celebration still the same?

# 533 erickonasis @ 09/26/09 09:46 AM

PLEASE , please tell me if the spin move is still in there

# 534 Pared @ 09/26/09 09:59 AM

I'm going to try and catch up on questions now. Give me a few minutes. The OS upgrade last night allowed me to play a few games.

# 535 infam0us @ 09/26/09 10:05 AM

Haha Pared, had anything extraordinary happen during those games?

# 536 BTB @ 09/26/09 10:14 AM

Maybe this has been asked, but did they fix Paul Pierce and Ray Allen's shots?

# 537 Moses Shuttlesworth @ 09/26/09 10:15 AM

I remember being told Pierce has the same shot as last year and Ray's has been improved.

# 539 RubenDouglas @ 09/26/09 10:26 AM

hit and miss once again... some are hysterical yet still carry a likeliness of their true self.. Luke Ridnour is pink in the face lol.. Jamison looks like an old man.. with the new emotion system in place, it may be premature to call some of these failures.

a good job on the majority though

I meant to play Houston and check out Battier and I forgot. The "tough" defenders body up and create more deflections and play the lanes more. They also lose their man defensively and come over to help more than others. It's a very slight thing to notice, but it's there.

I had the same experience online as I did offline. Here's a positive note, I saved the game to my HD and noticed no lag while offline after that. But I only had the chance to play one game after I saved it the 360 HD.

I went through the MyPlayer mode slightly. It's very cool. I don't want to ruin it, so I'll put it in the spoiler below:

Spoiler

This mode is extremely well done considering it was a one year effort. I'm excited just thinking about the possibility.

On the list... Rebel INS played an AS game at the launch event, maybe he can help answer this one.

lol Well, it's sort of still there. The animation is cut down and once your player is past him off the dribble, you can break out of it and continue dribbling. It's not as long as it was last year.

Is the long sock glitch fixed in the game? 3. Is there some way to make white arm sleeves for home switch automatically to black for away games? thanx for your hard work!

1. I'm not listing the sneakers.
2. What glitch? I didn't see any issue with the players wearing long socks.
3. I tried a few minutes to figure this out and could not. It doesn't seem that way.

Graphics are THAT much better than 2k9. The courts are all high-res. and look just as impressive as Live's courts. I was actually surprised.

The game doesn't feel new to me but here's the catch: anyone who has played with me know that I used sliders to change 2k9. 2k10, out of the box, has a eerily similar feeling to how I had 2k9 adjusted. The game is slower and more deliberate. It's definitely trying to cater to the simulation style crowd.

Yes, they play the game at a higher speed (+15). I've played it at default the speed makes a HUGE difference.

Not on purpose. They switch due to the help defense routines and are smart enough to switch out. I've called an Iso when I've had a big man one on one due to a bad switch and the defending PG continually tries to make his way over to initiate a switch (realistically). They are definitely aware of mismatches defensively.

I think he does. Here is a look at his fadeaway:

Didn't make it in.

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.

I definitely am not seeing dunks in traffic. Granted, I'm not trying to do it, but there is a definite need to have a clear path to the basket to initiate a dunk it seems.

There are turnovers, but they certainly need to be increased. I had to up the fouls because they are barely called on default.

Fellas,

Here's some media I uploaded in game:

You can find a ton of pictures from my Bulls-Celtics game there.
