NBA 2k10 Q/A

[Lupe]

You can also do Association mode games online like NHL 2K10 has this year. That doesn't mean online Association mode, it just means if you want to invite one person to play as the other team in your Association game, you can do that.

Finally I can beat the fuck out of mikes chise team online.

 

[Point Blank]

-You can more easily lose the ball when trying to dribble through a crowd, and it's also easier to swipe the ball away in high-traffic areas. In addition, using the "cheesing punk" as an example once again, you can lose the ball if you are doing move after move. I tested this and it did occur while even playing with a guard.

-Three dude dunks should be out -- still will see some of the big boys like Bron hammer on two guys here and there, but more based on vertical, momentum and so on this year. During my play time, I saw Richard Jefferson throw down on Robin Lopez, but otherwise I really didn't see any hammers on other players. In the RJ instance, he beat his man and had plenty of steps to get his momentum going, while Robin Lopez slid over late so he just put his hands up and took RJ's balls in his face under the hoop. Now that doesn't mean insane dunks are not there, but it's a good first sign if anything that I didn't see any instances of two-three person dunks.

-There are more tips and pass interceptions this year. Really this means you can't be so lackadaisical with your passes -- and that doesn't mean on the perimeter so much as when you are trying to throw it across the court or into the paint. Not every pass will be an interception, some might just be tipped away or tipped out of bounds, but it was definitely apparent. This was another old habit I had to try and break while playing -- I turned the ball over a ton by just throwing passes that would always get through in the past.

-A lot less of those BS passes threading through four guys in the paint are gone. The same goes for some of those lob passes to the guy in the post -- they are now easier to snag.

-You can create your own draft class, which means you can create 72 guys and then upload that file to the 2K server. That means you could create 72 of the top prospects or you could re-create an old class and upload that one. You can download a new draft class before each season. Obviously you can just have a class generated for you if you don't want to download a draft class. I know some insane people on OS will create entire draft classes, and bless you if you do.

Finally I can just download prospects from people.

Too bad they didn't change leagues at all, I'm nervously looking forward to the new defense

 

[Point Blank]

Great read. This game is sounding sick. Can't wait for some videos.

 

[Point Blank]

Cant wait for the block animations.

Wow, never seen that before.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any better.

lol @ people saying DUDE LIVE IS GETTIN BETTER!

still ages behind

The fucking be-a-pro mode sounds sooooo good and actually challenging.

-The Team-Up experience should go much more smoothly this year, and the developers realize how badly they fouled up last year.

rofl no kidding. I never even played one it was so bad.

-It's closer to 3 in the key now, not 6 in the key when dealing with a post player.

it was originally closer to 3, but they made it longer because people were bitching i think

-"Crews" is another new addition to the Team-Up mode. This is the ability to get together with friends and form an online team. You get to compete against other crews, and there are leaderboards that rank the top crews. You use NBA teams for these, and you can also use your 'My Player' -- but you don't earn points since there is no rating during this mode. This is partly because you're playing with friends and also because the number one goal is getting the W.


:jizz:

 

[SuperNova854]

How come I dont get a fountain of thanks when I post stuff about 2k10

 

[SuperNova854]

-Kevin Harlan's "right between the eyes" comment is not allowed to be in the game because it's a violent reference -- would affect the ESRB rating.

lulz

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

They should have done online franchise instead of this My Player shit

 

[SuperNova854]

-There are 10-day contracts.

-No bi-annual exceptions or stuff like splitting the mid-level in half.

-Restricted free agency is now in the game.

-There is a full-on practice mode within Association mode. You can go in with your team and practice plays (full 5-on-5 if you choose for this and you can set the defense up in various defenses as well). There is also free-throw practice and "freestyle" where you just mess around with one player. You don't get performance boosts for doing practice -- this is probably for the better in my opinion because it would probably be one of those things that you only get boosts from -- not the computer -- so it would essentially be an unfair advantage. There is no "scrimmage" feature where you play full-court 5-on-5.




FUCK YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE FOREVER!!!!!
:fuckyeah:

 

[DoubleDeuce]

They should have done online franchise instead of this My Player shit

My Player>Online Association

 

[mfbmike]

My Player>Online Association

Not quite. My player is nice but online chise would make it 11/10.

 

[LC AAU]

My Player>Online Association

On opposite day.

 

[The Messenger]

2K likes to be a year behind with the new modes like Online Franchise and such. Last year it was Team-Up. Now they are doing exact tendencies from 82games.com, like the exact thing Live did last year. What they do is wait and see if it's a success with the gamers, then they add it in.

I'd much rather have My Player mode over Online Franchise because I'm more of an offline chise sports gamer, but I'm guessing we'll get Online Franchise next year.

 

[The Messenger]

I buy this game every year and just let it sit around. I hope this is the year I play the shit out of this game.

lol wtf?

2k is up there with The Show and NHL.

 

[FlawLeSs]

Wow, never seen that before.

thats pretty much the same reason why i dont wanna see it 5 times a game in 2k10

 

[Whatupdoe44]

I love playing basketball, watching it is pretty damn boring. I can dig the playoffs but regular season just drags on and on and on.

doesnt drag on and on and on like baseball

watching basketball > watching baseball 10 times outta 10
