The first opportunity to check out NBA 2K10 gameplay comes with a video from Jermaine Dupri as he plays the NBA 2K10 Draft Combine. The release off the downloadable offering is approaching quickly with it arriving on Wednesday August 26th for the 360 and the PS3 following on Thursday September 3rd. Not only is this the first chance to see the Draft Combine in action but also provides an opportunity to see the gameplay of NBA 2K10 in general.

    why when you created your team mode the game has pauses in the game when you playing its like you playing on line and the person has a bad connection i

    yea i don't kno how much better 2k will get in the future now that mike wang is gone...i mean just look at the impact he has had on live already! He's to live what chauncy billups was to denver this past season. no he didnt grab all the rebounds and play all the defense, but he inspired the rest of his team to do so just like mike wang got those bums at EA off their asses. I predict 2k will turn end up like detroit after the trade: good, but not good enough...

    every year there is banter back and forth when videos and stuff come out and every year the Live fanboys think Live will catch up.....and every year they get disappointed when Nba2k dominates Live. Live will always be a rental until there gameplay improves enough to earn people's $$.

    it's like a modded nba 2k9.But what else can you expect from the leading company in basketball gaming.Look at what Isimbayeva did yesterday night...a shame
  • after seeing this i am still undecided on which basketball game to buy. i wasnt a big fan of 2k last, everthing seemed to pusged togeather on the court there was no court spacing. i guess it all depends on if live has be a pro mode, according to a dwight howard slip up it will but nothing official yet from EA sports. well just have to wait and see.
  • Ai-3
    SimBaller has already said the Draft Combine isnt 2k10. It had to be done in June or July, can't remember.
  • NELL86
    Yo i never want to here about 2k ever again that was offically wack and that video is whats to come you cant hide wack in a gameplay video
  • Raphel
    what did you all expect? they took time that they could have been putting into nba 2k10 to make nba DRAFT COMBINE, which will be a one and done thing that everyone will fart on
  • This looks like what it's been in the past but i don't care i'm getting both live and 2k10
  • PHM
    BABY MOVIN ON UP---TO THE EAST SIDE....
  • Ranel
    draft combine = FAIL
  • LOL.... perfect!
  • From a 2K dev


    I think you guys are astute enough to know that this is not final 2K10 gameplay code, it physically can't be. This game needed to be done in early July while we have until mid-late September for the full version of the game. That being said, you'll see the core changes to the game (spacing (which makes a big difference), mechanics, etc.).

    It's a very fun experience that brings new gameplay to the table (the game plays totally different than what you are used to as you are player locked to your player). If you take it for what it is (it is NOT final 2K10 gameplay), then I honestly think you guys will really enjoy it. More than anything we've put out, this game rewards fundamental basketball and punishes me-first cheeser basketball. There is a learning curve for people who play a certain way, they are going to struggle at first.

    Only 11 more days...
  • then why not just call it a demo? Will there be a demo, I understand the function of this it's just not impressing me at this point.

    To each his own I guess.
  • GR41
    WOW!!! Isn't he cool? He's up at 5:42AM WOW!!!
    It looks pretty similar to last years but probably still better than live.
  • jusmegamer
    This is really not the first glimpse of NBA 2K10, but the first glimpse of Draft Combine. 2K is really ahead of Live when it comes to gameplay, but there is nothing new here.
  • IBLEEDBURNTORANGE
    always been a 2k fan, something about live always looked and felt "cartooish"
  • r.s.
    shit was like 2 secs of footage n u guys bitchin lol
  • 2k fanboys bash Live for a lot less, dude.
  • LOL, are they serious. I actually come away with nothing from watching this video other than a sense that 2K is pretty much stagnant. You can say all you want about EA's flash but this is EA first full year with the new team that actually understands basketball for a change. So to you 2k fans that think because 2k has been better than live in the past [and it has been] you're in for a rude awakening this time around. just as pretty graphics alone don't make a game nether does just added on more animation.

    Oh and one more thing, why is he playing this game in slow motion. LOL!
  • jusmegamer
    This is draft combine not 2K10, I think most are missing that.
  • no joke live 10 lookin better(im not hatin)!
  • Erick Boenisch : "Alright, it’s time for Part II of my NBA 2K10: Draft Combine Insight! Before we move on to discussing the Draft Combine games, I want to take a quick moment to clear up a little confusion that I’ve seen around the forum. When NBA 2K10: Draft Combine is released on 8/26 (XBLA) and 9/3 (PSN), the game will come with a Trial version that allows you to create a character and take him into 5-on-5 scrimmages. You won’t be participating in Drills or the Draft Combine games (this means you won’t be accruing your much needed Skill Points), but it does give you a chance to see what we’re offering if you’re on the fence. We know the game is great; we want you to play it and come to that conclusion yourself!

    This Trial version is also not to be confused with the official demo, which will be coming out closer to the release date of NBA 2K10. Ok, with that out of the way, let’s get back to business and pick up right where we left off, shall we?"
    So this is the FINAL gameplay
  • I was looking at the video and thought, man something looks odd here. then I looked again and it's actually pretty funny and I have no idea how this is missed by any designer. I happy to point it out since the 2K fans love to slam Lives visuals [which are light years ahead of 2k]. Any way to my point, Why are there no shadows or reflections under the players standing in the background. So you guys don't think i'm just on the EA bandwagon pause the video at the 1:22 marker and look at the guys seeming to float in the background. Maybe this is unfinished footage, 2k's got some explaining on this one. LOL!
  • this looks more like 2k8 animation than 2k9...really.
  • i love 2k but they need to correct this with a new video about the new gameplay moves they added because if people see this and it stays this way, it will damage the marketing campaign.What r u thinking?
  • where are the 9000 animations that replaced the old ones? These are 2ksports own words.
  • what is this? it looks like an expansion pack this year? Are they gonna charge us full price?
  • Ranel
    looks stiff, and the created players still look fake
  • slamfan4life
    Looks exactly like 2k9....goddamn it................
  • Reapbo
    not good at all
  • People need to settle down. Nothing was really elaborated on. Just a 6'8" version of Dupri playing shooting guard and not knowing how to play. Don't look too deep into it.

    Pasta,

    There was tons of videos, blogs released this week on Live and you have yet to post it. I used to come on here to get all the information first on all gaming. I realize you have a small operation on this site, and its probably just recreational but you have a strong following here.

    Operation Sports is pretty good, but every posting is just fan boys and kiss ups. Here people can agree to disagree. Stop slacking bro.

    the 2k bball series has been on top for some time now.
    a lot of people are going to bash them about how the game isn't changing much...
    you have to realize that they have a fine line that they don't want to cross...
    the game play is great and hopefully will be unreal in the future...but putting too much garbage in the game will make it be like live has been the last few years...so i say don't be too upset that 2k isn't going nuts with improvements and eye candy presentation...they have a solid game.
  • Reapbo
    a game of glitches
  • This looks like last years, Im dissapointed so far with 2K. The videos I ve seen of Live so far look impressive.

    The video on IGN about Lives dribbling was sick; it looked so fluid and real.
  • gbrown4
    The only reason I might RENT!! nba live 10 is because of mike wang ,for all you nba live supporters do you know that mike wang THE LEAD PRODUCER for nba live 10 was hired from 2k so EA them selves felt the nba 2k series was superior to their bullshit product but hey whatever!!! this is all dog chasing its tail arguments
  • Lamar
    2K9 Part 2 still looks the same
  • Take Madden for instance. Many people felt and feel like Madden 09 was horrible and Madden 10 is great but ultimately nothing more than a firm step in the right direction. The difference is that Madden bought out the competition allowing them to stay on top regardless of the mess they produced. NBA Live still had to and still has to compete in a market where they are now considered second rate by the majority. Not only do they have to improve upon their own product significantly but they also have to compete with a product that is already considered superior to their product. Not to mention they have an entirely new dev team that most likely started from scratch on a lot of things. That’s a whole lot to handle period, let alone in one year.
  • looks like 2k9 !
  • Pistol Pete
    BOUT DAMN TIME! ENOUGH WITH THE EA LOVEFEST! 2K WILL SHOW EM HOW IT'S DONE!

    I HOPE THAT EA DOESN'T BUY THE NBA LICENSE ONCE 2K TRASHES THEM THIS YEAR. JUST IMAGINE HOW BADD@SS 2K10 WOULD HAVE BEEN IF THOSE SOB'S FROM EA WEREN'T A BUNCH OF SCHOOLGIRLS.

    ALSO THEY JUST NEED TO JUST MAKE A PS3 VERSION AS THE 360 IS DELAYING VIDEO GAMES FUTURE TECH. THAT PIECE OF BS 360 GETS PUSHED TO THE LIMIT ON PONG! MY GF THOUGHT I WAS MOWING THE LAWN WHEN ALL I WAS DOING WAS PLAYING HALO! AFTER ABOUT 8 COMPLETE RED RINGS OF DEATH I GAVE UP AND GOT ME A PS3! LO AND BEHOLD IT WAS WHISPER QUIET! AND THE 1080P CRUSHES THAT 1995 TECH FOR THE 360 720i. I LIKE HALO, GEARS OF WAR BUT PS3 GAMES DESTROY THE 360! SO EA AND 2K IT'S TIME TO PUSH A REAL MACHINE STOP USING THE 360 BS SYSTEM AND STEP INTO THE NEW AGE!
