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!

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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 windows 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.
