IGN has posted up a hands-on preview of NBA 2K10 that goes over the already announced additions but also actual impressions of the game in action. NBA Today, My Player, and 82games features are discussed before going into the gameplay evaluation. Check out the entire article here.

NBA 2K10 is bringing a lot of game this year. The gameplay feels more realistic than ever because of many of the refinements that have been made to the overall formula. I liked the new dribbling and the new, more realistic turbo mechanic, as well as the new post moves. Animations look great (probably because they dumped every move that was pre-2K8) and players move wonderfully on the court. Now if only the overall graphical presentation could be brought up to the same level.

The biggest positives to me are the in-game saves, post-play moves, and turbo restrictions. On the down side is the continued ability to penetrate seemingly at will and no mention of action being taken to make Team-Up mode actually work as advertised. Leave your thoughts on the preview in the comments!

look the bottom line is that no matter what features they add, NBA LIVE SUCKS!

2k's gameplay has been spot-on for the past 7-8 years. It kills live in sales and ratings every year for that simple reason: GAMEPLAY GAMEPLAY GAMEPLAY!! thats all that matters when it comes to sports games.

EA is just doing a bunch of window dressing to NBA Live to make it look like 2k. Just because they add some features from 2k because of Mike Wang doesn't mean they can beat it.

We'll see who's talking on October 6th, when 2k kills live again in sales and reviews for the 8th straight year.

Really? Live looks amazing in motion, really? I mean some of the clips on the trailers look good but i forget which trailer it is that shows the actual in game camera angle and the players still looked hunched over with robot movement. I mean I dont think the game looks garbage, but to me it doesn't look Amazing, its improvement that we'll never know if it lives up to the hype unil we actually play it.

Reapbo

y is 2k taken so long to show gameplay and da draft combine is crap i dnt want that i want to c gameplay. 2k9 wasnt worth 60

gbrown4

Yeah! as always" it LOOKS AMAZING" LOOKS AMAZING! but plays like shit

LIONSFANLOL

ABOUT THR GRAPHICS 2k players look like shit up close most players dont even look like themselves but it looks like a real basketball game when its in motion. and nba live looks great up close but not so much in motion except for live 10 it looks amazing

jusmegamer

It's good that someone else around here has knowledge of a basketball sim. I'm not saying Live is horrible but it is so far from 2K when it comes to gameplay that it should be a crime.

bigdougswan

"The continued ability to penetrate seemingly at will" can be managed pretty well by using gameplay sliders, but it's disappointing that the default and online settings aren't more realistic.

Sever82

Whats funny to me is how so many Live fans say the same thing every year about it being better than 2K but at the end of the day it doesn't. I use to be a live fan back in the genesis and playstation days but i've never gone back since picking up 2k on the Dreamcast. This year's live looks solid but the hunched over and robotic movement is still there. I'm definitely going to try out the demo to see if its worth picking it up over 2K. As for the screens, i think they look pretty good, i wouldn't buy too much into screens for either product though because they alter screens to look better than the game actually looks, so dont buy into it.

Gbrown4

2K is best basketball SIMULATION ever , all they need to do is concentrate on the graphics I laugh when people say this might be nba lives year really!! the only reason I might RENT nba live is because of Mike Wang their lead producer whos was LOL HIRED FROM 2K

r00tabaga

Any news of PS3's game yet Pasta? Inside Drive??? And can someone tell me why everyone is glowing in the 2k10 screens? There's a nasty white outline around every single player.

okafor43

Im shocked people complain about the graphics on 2k being that its has been one of the best since they first came out!!! I too would love to se actual defense being played in the game.

reignman

If U R complaining about graphics, just take a look at the players hands and fingers. Never before it was so detailed and perfect. There is no new engine, but many little, but important details were redone and fixed, shades of the jerseys, Kobe's face is just so much better, than in 2k9.

jonathanglapion

the one thing i seem to like is the ability to save and quit to return where you left off, I never understood why sports games hadn't included such a simple and common feature. I'm urging EA to do the same, it's smart.

Oh and 2K10 looks to be in a lot of trouble in my opinion.... not impressed so far.

Gbrown4

key word looks fuck you and EA

jonathanglapion

Is this even a sentence? Get an education before you try to trash talk

TheCarver13

I like the addition of the Turbo Restriction. I want to know more about the online leagues.

jusmegamer

I agree I wanna know about online leagues and maybe The Association feature.

Madden

Madden slow sales start:

GOOD FOR THEM. I have yet to pick it up. I will but I have not seen anything via youtube or anything else that is gonna make me break my neck to get it. $60 is also to much for a game. When you can get used either system for about $225 before taxes. All of the games need to drop. New prices should be $39.99.

meh

Its a PREVIEW... say it again slowly P R E V I E W of a resticted build. Id hate to see you guys at the movies complaining about the PREVIEWS before the main film. I can see it now.. "OMG from the PREVIEWS, the full film will suck. They didnt even show the whole thing"

deepen03

yea but for video games, this is pretty close to the final version.

the game will go final in like september, so this is pretty much what you will see in october.

I remember EA released videos of an alpha version of Madden 10 back in june, and the final version looked pretty much the same.

2k10 is gonna be better than Live 10, just watch. the last five videos they have shown of live show things that cannot even be close to be counted as features. these are basic basketball fundamentals that EA is just adding. it is so pathetic that they can call these "new features".

jonathanglapion

dumb comparison.

darkheath

actually. it's a great point. the game isn't done yet.

jonathanglapion

actually it's a bit of a goofy comparison because no one expects to be disappointed that a movie trailer wasn't the whole film. On the other hand i think by now the gaming community is well aware that when these games are previewed they're in a WIP stage.

Oh and yeah sometimes you can tell from a preview of a movie the full film will suck... LOL!

darkheath

What is WIP stage?

... and this SHOULD be true:

"no one expects to be disappointed that a movie trailer (game preview) wasn't the whole film (game)."

I just can't stand all the nitpicking I see about these games. I think they are incredible and far beyond what I ever thought they'd become when I 1st started playing them in the late 80's. I think some of these kids would appreciate them more if they started out playing sports games like I did... with cards & dice.. keeping my stats with a notebook, a pen & my own mad math skillz.

The leaps that have been made technologically in the last 20 years are amazing & I'm sure the next 20 years will be even more so (yes... pretty sure I'll be playing these into my 60's & beyond). So when I see all the bitchin' & whining that goes on ("my favorite thug should have a black armband on Thursdays & a red one on Fridaze... WTF?")... I just want to smack these kids in the teeth.

jonathanglapion

W I P means work in progress.

I totally agree with everything you just said. Remember the football game on the metal vibrating board with the little figures...HAH. I'm just glad that this year it'll be a matter of preference.

I think Ryan Santos and Mike Wang are the new Batman and Robin

Here's to playing in our 60's bro!

yooo

whoever likes ea basketball games has never played a game of basketball in their life... period.

deepen03

yup exactly. nice one.

jusmegamer

That is mostly true.Almost None of the guys I played with in organized ball, rather High School or College Intramural prefer Live and have not every since 2K hit the scene 10 years ago. There are a few guys that I'm still friends with that just don't like change. So, they stick with Live. Live is not horrible, but its gameplay is garbage compared to 2K. No one has played Live and they are saying its a viable contestant. Please, live problem is gameplay, not using $20000 Screens and Cameras to foul you.

r00tabaga

I would kick your ass in a real game of basketball. And jsyk, they brought in Mike Wang to rewrite the gameplay so your argument means nothing to me or any1 else. I don't dislike 2k, it's just that 2k9 was the same as 2k7 w/updated rosters...oooooh!

jkte

I'm just thankful that there are more than one NBA game to choose from every year.

darkheath

good answer. +1

Mo Diddley

i love pasta padre..........

Mo Diddley

im crying.. does anyone care?

Xtremedunkz

it is actually gonna be a tough call between buying 2k and live this year.

tiger

yeah tough call....what are you crazy?....a tough call is angelina jolie or scarlett johanson....live sucks anteater cock!!

deepen03

agreed.
