NBA 2k10 Draft Combine

2K Games is opening up a very dangerous door, apparently, as a source close to Joystiq has passed along info on the company's new game for PSN and XBLA, called NBA 2K10: Draft Combine. Set to release alongside NBA 2K10, the spinoff game will allow players to take potential draftees through a rigorous training routine, boosting their stats before being drafted into the retail game.

We call it a "dangerous door," because, frankly, it is. Many criticize sports titles for offering little variety or improvements in each yearly iteration, and Draft Combine sounds like it could be a way to milk sports fans for even more dough. Of course, not knowing further details about the rumored game, this is just speculation, and should be taken as such. Still, if it turns out as our worst fears predict (that Draft Combine is a minigame-like feature split from NBA 2K10 and sold separately), then we're sure there are bound to be some upset gamers out there. Oh, and if you're a person in the know, then feel free to hit up our tips box with more details. Anonymity assured!

So is this going to be like Rubio and Evans and Thabeet? Or will it be next years guys?

And this will be able to go into 2k10 as a draft class.

Not sure yet, the details are vague.

I highly, highly, highly, highly doubt this is Griffin, Rubio, Thabeet, Evans, etc.

I'm guessing that it is a game which probably has a full in-depth create-a-player where you can create all of the rookies and then have them go through the rookie combine to improve their attributes before importing them into NBA 2k10. Or you can probably just create them, sim the combine, then import them.

Imo 2k10 probably created it as an in-depth rookie class importer to get back at not having the license for college basketball.

That's what I am hoping.

As long as they have a download system, that way you can get other guys draft classes.

[Justo]

it will prolly only be $20 like other add-ons to games. if the GTA4 add-on was only $20 then this shouldnt be much more

[Point Blank]

Blah..

Allow downloadable draft classes and we wouldn't have to deal with this non-sense.

Downloadable draft classes of what? Guys with random faces and random names? Already got that.

[Virix]

the game sounds interesting but im prollay jus gonna rent it

Since its a PSN/XBLA download, you arent going to be able to rent it.

[A Tasty Burgerr]

I'll be amazed if this has any depth at all, but I'll probably end up buying it anyways

[Berowsk]

Why can't they include this in on the game? It feels like they are just trying to get more money out of us. It sounds like a feature that should just already be in the game.
