That "My Player" mode sounds like the greatest mode ever.

Another small detail that many fans will enjoy is the ability to save and quit out of a game and return to it later. It might sound minute but it's amazingly significant if someone is nagging you to get out the door and you're in the second-quarter of a playoff game.

YES

 

[DoubleDeuce]

Wow I missed that. That's like the best thing I've ever heard

 

[ryne candy]

In game saves makes it the best sports game...even over Madden 10. Every sport game should have this included....ridiculous that they don't.

I remember Madden 2000 and NBA Inside Drive 2000 has this :rofl:

2K is adding 36 new tendencies to the game that will be used by the AI to bring the action closer to reality.

Sweet, 82games partnership ftw

. For starters, IsoMotion, the dribbling mechanic that governs how you handle the rock, has been simplified. The developers felt as though the old IsoMotion was a bit too inaccessible, so they've gone to great lengths to ease players into it. Now the left trigger is all you'll need to execute IsoMotion moves. The right trigger opens up a few more advanced dribbles, but the left trigger should be your focus. I was able to easily pull off crossovers, spin moves and size up moves using the new mechanics. Even the likes of Monta Ellis was able to cut and weave his way through the defense for a 20+ point performance.

This makes me very sad, I thought isomotion was excellent last year

this is gonna be the best bball game ever

 

[Point Blank]

Wow, great read. Can't wait.

isomotion actually got you stuck on the dribble and was not really that great

I don't get what that means, but making it simpler will just make it easier for people to just cross back and forth like crazy Live-style.

In 2K9 it actually took practice to learn how to correctly use isomotion

 

[mfbmike]

Word. I thought 2k9's isomotion was a huge step up from 2k8's.

I liked it a lot.

 

[Point Blank]

I wasn't a big fan of it.

I guess it depends...if a guy has high handling skills, he should be able to cross very easily...but if he is defended by a great defender, that guy should have a high chances of putting his hand out and stealing the ball. I'll wait to pass judgement on how this is implemented. Also it says the more advanced moves are still connected to the trigger button.

 

[SuperNova854]

The new broadcasting sounds real cool too.

That's what I'm saying, last year you had to master the movements with the left stick and which triggers to use, this year all you have to do is pull the triggers which takes no skill.

Can't wait for this one.

Hopefully they didn't remove player lock.
