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.

Just me getting blown out on AS. The CPU is really good. PIP have been low... they are just killing me with the in and out game.

Ray Allen's jump shot is certainly different. Lightning fast, too.

I think Pierce's is different. Didn't look the same to me.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it is. I'd say there are more "wrong faces" this year than last, but a lot of it has to do with the expressions. They're always doing something. Had someone (can't recall who) take a deep breath while at the FT line and puff his cheeks (wasn't Lebron).

Thanks for the work you and guys who have the game already are putting in. Sacrificing your personal gameplay time to answer what can be tedius questions is why the OS is the best !!!

Shots out to Mo and everyone else putting in work for us !!!

From the vids ive seen when playing defense it looks like the momentum takes you out of the play...i thought it was easier to stay in front of your man?

i guess my question is playing defense fun? i always switch to whomever has the ball...i like the challenge

have you tried other camera angles? i like Showtime cam since thats a little closer to the action...

# 545 Mintsa @ 09/26/09 10:52 AM

I noticed on one of the konsolekings vids that during the Twolves vs Raps game....the stadium "intro" lights were on during some of the gameplay ???

Is a beta glitch ???

Pared/Mo doyou see this in your copies of the game ??

Sorry man, must've missed it. It's there, LT+half circle. LT+RT+half circle gives you behind the back. I think it may be ratings related, because I couldn't do it with everyone. Not quite sure though, honestly, as I wasn't looking for it. I just know it wasn't working with everyone (like some big men).

Does the CPU do that as well ? That was allways missing in the games. Battier should allways guard the other teams best wingplayer, no matter if SG or SF.

That's just it, I didn't notice it because the help defense always had guys picking up a man. I'll try and look for it, but it's hard when you are trying to win a game.

It's all for the love, baby!!

One thing to note.. the double teams. No longer a canimation. Controllable with the LB (I think that's the button) and you can tap it again to cancel. The only thing I don't like is the help defense won't recognize the fact that you're doing a double team. So there is a guy wide open and once the pass is made, then help defense comes over. I would have liked to see the CPU cheat a little.

They were not picking this up when I played a game with MC. It might be done on purpose to avoid abuse, but to me it's also not a realistic portrayal of fundamental help defense.

Oh, as for your question about cheese DC. Long passes are more errant and the big men in the paint are deflecting a LOT more passes than any year previously. I still think sliders are need to get the correct shooting %'s as the CPU hits more shots when they are open than they should (again, IMO). I'll try and have some sliders out for you guys that way you will be ready come release. I've already made some slight changes, but they have improved the game immensely for me.

Again though, out of the box, this is a more realistic representation of NBA basketball than 2k9. It's just getting that much better with a few tweaks.

Defense is definitely challenging. The thing that I like about it is the players can really body up. Momentum on defense will definitely take some getting used to. The fact that people aren't really going through each other like in 2k9 makes a huge difference. I think I did see one or two instances where this happened, but it's nowhere as bad that it would be a complaint.

I've tried other camera angles but I have gone back to Broadcast because I was getting slowdown in them. However, this was before I put the game on my hard drive. I need to go back and take a look. I did not notice any slowdown once the game was on the hard drive, but that was only one game.

I have not noticed this. In fact, I've noticed the lights fading off numerous times as it's a very nice addition to the game graphically. I did play at Toronto yesterday as well. Got spanked by the Cavs.

Oh, and a patch went live yesterday. Not sure what it did, but you'll have one available for you guys as soon as you put the game in.

that dosent make any sense. pared states that you cannot change headband colors, and your saying we can. please post a screenshot or a video to prove this, so for example if i was the Raptors and i chose a red headband for home games wud it stay red for home games? or wud it change back to its default color? thanks

# 549 Goffs @ 09/26/09 11:03 AM

A patch? Already?

# 550 Mintsa @ 09/26/09 11:05 AM

Thanks PAred....

I'm guessing his copy is just from an earlier build.

# 551 erickonasis @ 09/26/09 11:09 AM

Thank you Pared

# 552 Dice @ 09/26/09 11:14 AM

Is it possible to create a point-forward? Could I assign my SF to bring the ball up and run the offense? Thanks.

You guys are killing me here. Maybe I should sticky this:

You have the option to select Headband: Yes/No. From that point on, the game will automatically assign you a headband based on your team's colors and the jersey they are wearing. You can NOT specify the color, it is done for you depending on the jersey.

Again, the color is chosen for you automatically.

Yup. No idea what for. I'm sure it's for things that were needed to be addressed if it's already live.

Dice,

I did not see anywhere to decide who brings up the ball.

# 554 Mintsa @ 09/26/09 11:15 AM

PAred,

Did you notice what jerseys were available for the Raps when you played ??

Did they have the pinstripes with the Dinos on the front ??

Did they have the Raps "Huskies" jerseys ??

# 556 baseballguy @ 09/26/09 11:21 AM

Pared,

Thanks for answering all of our questions last night and all of today. We all really appreciate it.

One quick question on my end: Are Byron Mullens and Serge Ibaka on the Thunder roster? I took a look at the screenshots and didn't see them. Nor did I see them on the Tulsa D-League roster. Just wanted to confirm.

Thanks again.

# 557 Lagoa @ 09/26/09 11:28 AM

Hey Pared!

Cavs have red headband at home??? And Celtics? Have green headbands at home?

Thks man!

# 558 Manbearpig @ 09/26/09 11:32 AM

is the field goal perecent really high, since I saw Celtic's civd on pro and both teams were shooting at too high a percent age, is the game like this?

also, does the CPU shoot a realistic amount of 3s

thanks

# 559 hoodkid205 @ 09/26/09 11:41 AM

hey pared have u done the walk the dog inbound pass? does your teammate still try an pick it up ?

Thnx for all the answers this should be my last ?

# 560 Streets @ 09/26/09 11:44 AM

Thanks for all of this Pared, Mo, Steve, and everyone else.

1. Pared, could you tell me, when starting an Association with the Rockets, does Yao Ming start the season injured for the entire 2010 season?

2. (You don't have to do this if you don't want), but if you sim through the first season, will T-Mac take a pay-cut do to his lower rating or does his "Diva Tendency" make it so he demands an outrageous contract?
