NBA 2K10 Patch Details
2K Sports has announced the details of the first patch that is coming for NBA 2K10. With fundamental flaws such as poor framerate, online play still not even completely functional, and glitches in My Player mode this is a highly anticipated patch. The effectiveness of the patch will have to be evaluated after it is out because this is an extremely significant list. Having such core issues as concerns and expecting they will all have been addressed in two weeks time seems improbable. Patch...

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 c...

NBA Live 10 Initial Impressions
The NBA Live series comes into this year with increased expectations after primarily concentrating efforts on improving the gameplay experience rather than adding in new modes. While EA has built out a good feature set the last few years, the primary focus of gameplay was necessary and appears to have paid off if gamer response and early reviews are to be believed.

NBA 2K10 My Player Impressions
I have a love-hate relationship with career modes in sports titles. I appreciate the ability to control a single player which in turn simplifies the games and presents clear objectives and measurements of success. At the same time I've always come across certain aspects that have soured the overall experience. Those conflicting feelings continue with NBA 2K10's My Player mode. My first thought after spending time with My Player is that it's obviously vastly superior to what was offered wi...

The New York Times has a full article on the story here. “The Madden NFL video games are expressive works, akin to an expressive painting that depicts celebrity athletes of past and present in a...
