Release Day Problems for NBA 2K10

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.

Bias is bias bros whatever way you look at it. hes not a sports gamer he is an EA gamer and knows his buddies from EA are gunna be pissed if they saw him talk shit. Point is he shouldn't put it off like he is unbias because he is already saying live is better online after the game is out for 20 hours.

Right lol, which is why he has done posts like this about EA games when they've deserved them. Funny how people forget all those somehow. Be mad at 2K for the bullshit, not Pasta for reporting on it.

EA would, because they have a patch coming out in a month its ok right Pasta? Please they forgot to give you a post up button bro. Not to mention you said there was no button for 2k10 but once you open up the instruction book its is so clear. Nice job pasta, saw this coming from last week. Just stick with your unbias entertainment comment, no one reads that shit anyways.

So you generally don't say buy this or buy that, but you want us to buy Live. 10-4 big boy

I say if online is the most important factor. Which it is for some, probably not for most. But very few reviews do anything but list online features and they don't actually test them which is ridiculous. 1Up is the only one that seems to have factored in online play to their review. So its an important thing for people to know. If the half of the game is integrated and performs better for one over the other. Its just a fact.

yea for NHL 10 which didnt even deserve it considering i havent had it lag once online, please id be more inclined to kill myself rather than buy a thing from EA considering Pasta got his head so far up both Ian "Backward underarmour hat" Cumming and Mike "Chink Boy" Wangs asses that he cant even see the light of day. – George Knox

It's no big secret Pasta is an EA guy. Overall the reviews saying 2K wins! He doesn't even try to hide it anymore. It is what it is.

i cant even do my player cause i have to pull it off the server which is down. wtf
Sportsgamer

Just take a look at all of his posts. Every single blog that Live released, he posted on his website. 2K released tons of them and ye posted absolutely 0 of them. If that isnt biased i dont know what is. Why cant he show love for both sides equally?

It's a shame what the sports video game industry has become. 2k and EA can just put out unfinished games with frame rate problems and other thing that should be picked up upon while being tested and our dumb-asses still buy them.

no doubt, i just expect more from someone with his own sport gaming site that claims to have unbias opinions

Not bad; however, that OXM review at the end asks, "Who wants to join our 5 on 5 league?" The problem is, it doesn't work.

"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 again this year." – Pasta This is so ridiculous, you make a huge deal saying to dont tell someone to buy this or that and you come on the 2k comment and say Live is better. Nice buddy

Online wise there is no question. It was the same thing last year too. Live 09 was better for people who were primarily online players. There really isn't any debating that and little reason to believe in the coming days that would change for this year.
