NBA 2K10 Review

MMChrisS · 10-06-2009, 01:13 AM

It has been an exciting 10 years for the NBA 2K series and basketball gamers alike. After the first installment in 1999, NBA 2K soon became a staple in the hoops genre. The series has provided an enjoyable playing experience for casual gamers while presenting a good enough challenge for those with insane stick skills. The franchise has also been known for dishing out a realistic NBA experience that allows basketball junkies like myself to live out their hoop dreams through our gaming consoles.

With perennial All-Star Kobe Bryant starring as the game's front man, NBA 2K10 aims to accomplish the same goal as its cover athlete: defend its championship crown. But like all things from which greatness is expected, the level of expectations are high. A decade since its introduction, can NBA 2K10 still rise up to the challenge?

man i dont know. he says alot of positive but those negatives can be fixed with sliders. 8.5 is good but its suspect to me

from reading i thought it would have gotten a 9 or higher IMO

I thInk this was a little overtly positive, especially after the Madden review but I might just buy both titles.

Good read.

Yeah, for me it would need the paint play cleaned up quite a bit from last year as well as toning down the rubberband A.I. Also, I hope that by making layups less "money" that we won't see even more blown lay-ups or dunks on easy fastbreaks.

So Live's an 8 then? That's my guess.

Good review ... Play calling is lost and has yet to be found in that game... I played my boy yesterday, he played a whole game without a playcall or a jumpshot.. lol, Overall presentation is the strong point this year as well of player models... But still the same gameplay. (IMO)
