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.

Hey Pared or Mo, is there a sonics throwback in the game?

Appreciate the work you're putting in as well, man.

This Yao question is intriguing.

They had this as a home alternate:

Did not check the away alternate. So for a home jersey, the dino was not there.

Yeah, the %'s seem too high out of the box just like last year. Just slightly. A few clicks down in each area (inside, close, med. 3 pt.) helps this immensely.

Yes. IMO it doesn't go out far enough... either that or it is controllable. I have to figure it out. But your teammate did not pick up the ball from what I saw. I only did it once.

Thanks! Association questions and roster stuff are things I just can't answer right now.

# 566 renewill27 @ 09/26/09 12:08 PM

are the camera angles the same as last year? and is the speed off the game like the combine?

# 567 cferg21 @ 09/26/09 12:10 PM

Thanks for answering these questions. Can you please post pics of rookies Terrance Williams and Earl Clark out of Louisville. I was curious to see how they looked on the game. Thx.

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?

im not sure if this relates to your association question but you can see Yao Ming in this intro clip...

In the draft combine you can create a point-forward....Dont know if he brings the ball up tho...In 2k9, I thought this was based on the ball handling rating?...Maybe its some where in the many tendencies we have this year....

Simple Questions Pared:

Are slider changes powerful?, do they feel like they are really changing the dynamic of the gameplay with each little tweak? (because in older 2k's they seemed to only make a slight difference)

and THANKS sooooooo much for your contribution, you really are a very very kind man

If your question hasn't been answered, it's because we haven't tried it. When we do, you will get an answer.

Yes and yes.

# 572 Mintsa @ 09/26/09 12:13 PM

Thanks again Pared...

So basically the Raps jersey selection is the same as in previous years.

I haven't messed with all the sliders because I don't feel you need to. But for shooting, even 3-4 clicks down have made a noticeable enough difference to drop the shooting %'s in the 45-55% range.

I've also increased defensive rebounding 20 clicks and that was way too high. Hard as heck to get an offensive rebound.

So yes, I'd say they are working well enough so far.

Great question! Dying to know this, as well as if BJ Mullens and Serge Ibaka are listed on either the Thunder or D-League roster.

I saw that. However, a screen shot of NBA headlines at the beginning of the association also said that Yao was out indefinitely due to surgery. So I'm hoping that the "headline" actually affects the game, and I can play year 1 without Yao (or maybe there's an option to turn on/off realistic injuries to start the season).

# 577 PrOdIgY_4eVeR @ 09/26/09 12:20 PM

Pared,

Has the effectiveness of the jump pass been tuned? Can it be abused? Can bigs like Tyson Chandler jump pass effectively?

Can you dribble in circles around the basket and score without getting stripped? Can this be abused like last year?

How many consecutive isomotion moves does it take before you either lose the ball or readjust your dribble?

# 578 DaChosenOne @ 09/26/09 12:23 PM

How are Celebrations IN the Game like Game winning Shot, Making Play-offs, Finals You Know?

# 580 DustinT @ 09/26/09 12:24 PM
