The official forums for NBA 2K10 are currently in an uproar over issues being seen with NBA 2K10. Primarily the focus is on the framerate dropping in games and in My Player mode, along with poor online play performance or the inability to play online at all.

The framerate and online issues should not come as a surprise to 2K or consumers. Framerate slowdown has been pointed out in previews, reviews, my impressions, and user impressions across the web. Even 2K9 had trouble with keeping a consistent and smooth framerate especially in certain camera angles. Online play performance has been troubling with many 2K Sports titles the last two years.  NBA 2K9 was sometimes playable oftentimes terrible, as the heavily promoted Team Up mode never even worked properly.

It is discouraging that problems in these two critical areas persist. Still it is only the first day and there is a chance that things will be cleaned up online wise and through a future patch. Past issues in these areas have not been completely fixed though which is certainly reason for concern.

  • FJB
    I have the same problem. I exchanged the game and it happend again. I just picked up my 3rd copy and will see how it goes.
  • Keep knocking 2K.
  • Mike
    Pasta that picture of Nash tells it all.
  • Pasta how much did EA pay you to write this article? Live sales are bad on day one and you're trying your hardest to make sure people don't buy 2K10 (rolls eyes)
  • rick
    2k is a joke
  • Steve Nash looks sad
  • Yes, I will continue to report on any game where promises are not being fulfilled or issues persist regardless of the company that made it. 2K does not get a pass.
  • The online experience for Live is excellent from what I've been playing. I generally don't say buy X game vs X game but if online is important to someone, Live is the way to go.
  • buddy
    No one is playing Live online except you bro.
  • Nutzilla
    At least you can play Live online. It's true that 2K has not had good online performance in the past, and that is an important part of the game for me (and many others). If you sit there playing the computer all day, you might very well like 2K10 better... but if you want any sort of online experience at all, you should probably go EA. This has held true for the past 2-3 years, and I don't see that changing any time soon. 2K better get their servers upgraded, or write better net code, because ALL their games suffer online.
  • buddy
    Ya, EA NHL is so playable online. meh
  • Nutzilla
    At least they will fix it with a patch - unlike 2K...
  • Lake Allen
    Thank you Pasta for bringing some spotlight to all this. People over in the 2K forum appreciate it since 2K has been dicking everyone around and deleting posts.
  • Spade
    I am 100% convinced that he is bias to Live.
  • Lake Allen
    So bias towards the game that actually works as advertised? That seems like common sense. How anyone can defend 2K for all this is beyond me.
  • Think? Haha. I would never criticize him for showing problems in 2K(even though I've had a seamless online and offline experience through a week), obviously there are some problems. But when it comes to basketball games, he definitely enjoys LIVE more, to the point where LIVE can do no wrong. When you go to a sports site, you expect an unbiased opinion, but you dont get that here. When its basketball season, go to another site.
  • Ramen Padre
    you found this out just now????? Almost everyone knows Pasta is an EA dude. If you want bias towards 2k, go to their forums
  • CJones
    today has been so frustrating and i dont trust them to fix anything
  • swizzy
    i BiN TOLD YALL DiS GM AiNT NO GEWD

    ADVANTAGE EA & BiG SWiZZLE
  • Ive had the ref and inbounder throwing the ball back and forth to each other for like a full minute, but haven't seen that personally.
  • Iota
    had to lol when i read that 2k is suggesting to try calling timeouts anytime the framerate bogs down
  • I was being sarcastic bro


    Sent from my iPhone
  • I know lol...just clarifying some thoughts anyway
  • T-1000
    who else saw this EA loving bullshit coming, shit u cant even click ne thing to post up in NBA live while in 2k u can even though pasta said neither game had a post up button. gotta love this shit. Also havent had a problem with 2k10 at all plays sim style right out of the box
  • NELL86
    yall are some lames 2k10 is a good game but if the online is busted it defeats the purpose no online means 2k might be taking back to the store for live
  • R2D2
    I hear ya bro! I've been playing 2K10 nonstop and haven't had a frame rate issue yet. Live is a joke just like it's always been.
  • It's really sad that we are this far a long in this generation of consoles and this game continues to have framerate and online issues. It's not a matter of being bias. It's simply stating the obvious.
  • t daley
    Whats really sad is the fact that YOU and all the other drones continue to have faith in a company that consistantly demonstrates its inability to make a quality product and furthermore support any of there products.

    When will you guys learn that when it comes to the "TOTAL PACKAGE", EA delivers on all fronts for all their games.
  • bo1508
    2k10 steve nash looks like strewie frm mad tv
  • t daley
    DUDE!!!!! That's HILARIOUS. You hit the nail on the head with that one.
  • Ben
    Was that supposed to be funny? oh ok ,then im ROFL
  • bo1508
    im so glad i got live10
  • Brett Favre
    Im So Glad I Got 2K10, I saw this post coming three months ago, Im So Glad Pastas Opinion Don't Matter To Everyone.
  • bo1508
    why fix it when they got ur money da deal is done
  • duvbe
    so the verdict is LIVE WINZ
  • lol srry pasta that was funny lol
  • Lake Allen
    You must not have read Pastas Live impressions then. Hes been very fair with both games, in fact some people thought he was too harsh pointing out flaws with Live. Glad to see most people have noticed the objectivity to covering the games which Ive always appreciated here.
  • WOW!!!!!!! We worned you 2k lovers and you guys just roll ur eyes and look at our beautiful dicks
  • LIVE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this year!!!
