NBA 2K10 for Xbox 360

Waste of money .waste of time

Well I waited awhile to review this game until I got a real feel for it.I must say it took me about a week to really appreciate the subtle changes that 2k10 has made.1) The oops off the glass to a team mate or to yourself is a plus... and the Put back Slams are nuts.2) The ratings of team are no longer high so there is no 1 dominant team, every team can be a threat.3) Smoother Online play.4) Improved defense... and the stamina meter makes is so people can't run around all day with KOBE, LEBRON and D WADE all game like in 2k9.5) Smarter AI this year it actually feels like you're playing a real person... The computer ain't dumb no more they'll make the extra pass to the open man or make you pay for a blown defensive cover.6) My player mode gives the game more playability no longer just a season or online game and it actually improves your basketball IQ for playing in Crews mode or Team Matches.7) Being able to use your created player online is also a plus .8) The dribbling is crazy you can literally break defenders down, make them slip trip and everything else and it looks real not all arcadish.Cons:1) GLITCHES... you got a fast break going in for the stuff and your dude takes the slowest 2 steps to the basket in the world... Not all the time but it takes away from the smoothness of the game.2) There are other delays here in there sometime the Ref and the Person taking the ball out tend to play Catch back in forth for like 30 of 40 seconds.. whats that all about. And there are a few other things that can affect game play here and there.All in all I like this game it just feels more real to me than other B-Ball games. In my opinion it provides for the most realistic NBA experience. The game play is spot on. All though there are Glitches they are not a deal breaker plus 2K is releasing a PATCH for it soon so this game will be the Premiere game it is always been.

I have been playing 2k basketball off and on since 2k1 on dreamcast...and the question is always "which is better 2k or nba live" and my answer is 2k10 hands down. it feels as if you are actually on the court. the gameplay is extremely intense. the graphics and physics are superb as well. the franchise mode is deep and will keep you busy. but the biggest addition is the my player mode. build your player from the ground up.Now to the bad.... If you dont have xbox live to download the latest patches to fix the bugs that were shipped with the game....DO NOT BUY! this game is light years ahead of NBA live but the bugs will turn you away. IF DO HAVE XBOX LIVE YOU MUST BUY THIS GAME! FOR THE PRICE ITS A STEAL! TRUST ME! ALL THE BUGS HAVE BEEN FIXED AND THE GAME IS SMOOTH AS EVER!add me on xbox live lol--- mnsfinest612

The gameplay is not a cheeser friendly as previous years where you could pick Lebron, Wade, Kobe etc & just drive in for dunks. The defense is alot better & feels more realistic. Some stuff will bug you but thats what sliders are for. You can adjust all the gameplay to your likeing with the sliders.My only gripe about this game is the shooting changed. Its not the top of youyr jump release. Its a fixed release now & you have to release the ball when it leaves his hands. So that sucks because its not full control. Sliders make up for that abitNBA 3pt contest, Dunk COntest, 3 on 3 21, & blacktop are all modes in. So thats a big plus.

This is a fantastic B-Ball game! I have to say that it has been nearly 3 years since I have bought a basketball game and decided to try the 2k series again. And I am glad I did! The graphics are much improved and the game play is very addicting! If you have a 1080p HD TV, you are in for a real treat. My son walked in and did a double take - he thought I was watching a Suns game! It is my opinion that the game play in the 2K series is better - faster, more realistic, and more lively than the NBA live game. Try this one out and you will not be sorry!
