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, they've got the game you don't, they don't have to do it if they don't want to... But Pared just stated when they get the chance, they will. Isn't that good enough for you? Be patient man

There's much more to the end of the game. I don't recall looking at this specifically. I'll see what I can do tonight.

Hopefully someone else can answer this for you.

Maybe Mo can help out here...

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

I'm not trying to abuse the game, so take this with a grain of salt. There are more turnovers from errant passes by bigs this year.

There's momentum when you dribble, so you can't just spaz your way into a bunch of players this year.

Losing the ball only seems to happen when your player is really low on energy.

I'm not in front of the game. You asked your question, leave it be. Keep asking and I'm sure you will get ignored from here on out.

When someone can answer you, they will.

Thanks for all you guys do. What about the jersey selection screen? Has that been fixed in 2K10 so that you can actually cycle through the jerseys, retros and alternates and see them displayed? This was especially problematic in Association mode.

Seriously, you need to calm down. Your question has been asked and it's been read by those with the game. Pared already said he's not at his console.

If they get to it they do, if not then you can sim to the end and find out when you buy the game (they also might not want to spoil the game for themselves by seeing the celebration/lack there of before earning it in their own association). Consider this a warning.

They do, but Live 10 has them in their game, so hopefully 2K can make my past come back to life lol.

Hello Pared. Can you give us some idea of what the defensive controls are this year? If the lock-on defense is gone what was it replaced with?

Do you press a trigger to face up the offensive player or is it automatic animations that happen when you get close, etc?

Can you shuffle your feet to cut off a man with the analog stick like before?

Basically, do you think the defensive options are better than 2K9?

thanks

YES! It's not a still graphic, just like Live's set up.

There is still no ability to choose to wear and away jersey while at home, also.

I don't recall seeing the "El Heat" jersey, but we definitely know they are in. I hope it's not an association only thing.

If you missed it, the Red Heat alt. jersey is just SICK. Best jersey in the game I've seen so far. The entire thing has this sheen, reflection look to it... such a beautiful thing to see. The Cav's yellow and burgundy is also a gorgeous jersey.

There is no lock on, just that crowding mechanic with LT. It closes space between you and the player. Face up is automatic.

Side note: I really hate the auto-post up. It is the single thing I absolutely hate with a passion. It's hard to post up some-times on command.

Defensively, the help defense adds the much needed in and out game. Players have "weight" to them, so it feels like you can really body up the ball handler and keep them in front of you with better defensive players. Defensively though, it's similar to the demo of 'Live 10. They still need more defensive options. Live has a challenge the ball handler mechanic by tapping the Y button (but it's broken) that I would have liked to see here
implemented correctly. The hands up move is more effective this year than in year's past.

The one on one defense is what makes this game more enjoyable for me. Don't get me wrong, however, as it is not without issues. There are times where your player gets turned around inadvertently and then you're out of position. If this happened because the CPU beat me with a move, I wouldn't mind, but it's happened because the control can be tighter.

I'm playin NBA Playoffs as the Lakers at home right now. Atmosphere isn't much different in the first quarter at least. The court has your standard NBA playoffs sigs on the hardwood, and the signage all around the court says NBA Playoffs. I will write what happens in the 4th for you.

someone sounds jealous

# 593 Lagoa @ 09/26/09 12:49 PM

Thks for the quick reply pared!!!

I will waiting for the pics for Celtics and Cavs home headbands!

I think, in your version, all headbands at home are wrong! maybe CPU uses 2nd color in home:

- Cavs with red at home
- Celtics with Green at home
- Warriors with blue

Thks man, it�s a little stuff, but for my is very important!

If other guys have the game now! Please, make pics and post!

Thks again!

This is what I was afraid of as I absolutely hated it in the Live demo.

Does the cpu at least post up outside of the paint and shoot fadeaways?

# 595 infam0us @ 09/26/09 12:53 PM

Why would his version have the wrong headband, in the beta copy that Steve has isn't it still red.

I think the reason theres not many white headbands if any is because of team gears. Can't honestly say I'm familiar with it but if they had the team gear as white the sneakers would be white as well.

# 596 thmst30 @ 09/26/09 12:53 PM

Why is this guy still here? After his crap posts yesterday the mods had to know he was going to be a troll all along.
