NBA 2K11 - G.O.A.T.

Re: NBA 2K10 - PS3, 360, PC, Wii, PSP

Being comfortable with 2k is always a matter of experience, scars and sliders. I for once play All-star difficulty and am loosing all matches by 3 points or less.

You can do great deffense and the cpu will destroy you anyway most of the times with cheesy plays or incredibly high shooting percentage. The only solution to have a FAIR experience has always been a mix of sliders and customization.

I'll try the sliders that tobi posted. As I recall we were using similar sliders for 2k9. The match we played online was exciting but I'll wait for a patch because I don't feel comfortable playing with those framerate problems, it just makes the game worse.
 
Re: NBA 2K10 - PS3, 360, PC, Wii, PSP

The sliders that I posted have one major flaw, the reach in and shooting foul are too high, I played Golden State last night and the first two quarters was a stop start affair. It was a lot better once I toned it down.
 
Re: NBA 2K10 - PS3, 360, PC, Wii, PSP

Nice advice, i'll try them tonight. I liked playing against you, though with sliders it will be even better because i felt near shots were too effective.
 
Re: NBA 2K10 - PS3, 360, PC, Wii, PSP

Are those sliders geared towards you playing on a certain difficulty level? I wouldn't mind making the game more realistic but I just about get by on the default level of difficulty.
 
Re: NBA 2K10 - PS3, 360, PC, Wii, PSP

Just another game that is brilliant with 2 Humans playing each other but not so good when playing single player
 
Re: NBA 2K10 - PS3, 360, PC, Wii, PSP

Its the other way round for me, brilliant SP and multi player but online depends on whether your opponent is a cheeser or not.

The sliders are meant for All Star but I've dropped down to Pro for the time being, I've lost three in a row in Association and I'm still getting to grips with some things and making slider adjustments.

My timing is off completely with Steve Nash for some reason, they didn't need to tweak his shot release.
 
Re: NBA 2K10 - PS3, 360, PC, Wii, PSP

Well i'm just playing my mates that are poo like me so its all good :)

Emmm, having played online against you, I do agree strongly with this. Did he ever score against me? On the other hand, you took benefit of Amare and Barbosa, I had great difficulties trying to stop them.

But to be fair, I had a terrible game with Roy in my Trailblazers and I was lucky Rudy Fernandez scored so much from the 3 points line. I can't get Roy timing, either!

It's just some players that have a "special" timing when shooting from mid-range and 3 points.

I'm having so much trouble with Roy right now too! His release seems to be different every time for me. I've got Fernandez' release down though. He's a beast once you drain a couple of shots and get him hot.

Are you guys playing on the PS3? I have to play some of you guys online sometime.
 
Re: NBA 2K10 - PS3, 360, PC, Wii, PSP

I think he scored a layup, he definitely didn't score a jump shot, I tried to get to Rudy but he was always open.

My Player was using his shot but I wasn't scoring any mid range jump shots so I changed it to Mickael Pietrus and getting better results.

I think some players have quicker shot releases this year, (Barbosa) I played a game with the Nuggets and it only took three shots for me to gauge Melo's release. I couldn't get Billups shot to go though.

Kthing were on PS3, I invited you to the online Crew.
 
Re: NBA 2K10 - PS3, 360, PC, Wii, PSP

I made it into the NBA with my PG and my debut was fairly average, in the second game though one of my objectives was to hold my man to 1 layup/dunk...I was marking Derek Rose!

I going to wait for the patch before I continue with the mode now, the scoring is ridiculously high.
 
Re: NBA 2K10 - PS3, 360, PC, Wii, PSP

The 2K community site keeps updating and adding new things.

Re: NBA 2K10 - PS3, 360, PC, Wii, PSP

The commentary that go with it is great too.
 
Re: NBA 2K10 - PS3, 360, PC, Wii, PSP

Yes, the commentary is different in NBA Today, they talk about recent events etc.

EDIT: I think I'm going to stick with Pro this year, not liking what happens in the second half of games on All Star.

oohh yeah thats very good...Like welcome to this Pre season match etc...nextgames,points from last match...etc...love that..
 
Re: NBA 2K10 - PS3, 360, PC, Wii, PSP

I'm still struggling with Nash's shot release, until I get it right I can't play the Association with my Suns, Portland or NO will have to do for now.

EDIT: I think I've nailed it now.

omg i just bought this game and its bloody awsome. Sure i have not got a clue what i am doing as yet but its so slick it makes 007 look like a spotty geek!!!! Loving everything in the background, ie the subs, press, crowd. Just brilliant.
 
Re: NBA 2K10 - PS3, 360, PC, Wii, PSP

If it turns up it will be on the US store.
 
Re: NBA 2K10 - PS3, 360, PC, Wii, PSP

Bought the game yesterday. It is my first serious NBA game, loved the street serie but this is something different (in a positive way). All I do now is play my mates, who are just like me beginners. At first the games we played had no speed, and we missed most shots.

Now a few hours and lots of matches later, Im loving the game. You really notice when a player gets in 'the zone'. With 3pnt shooting, and the fast paced nba plays you see on tv.

I still need lots of time, to really get used to all the gameplay mechanics, but I can see some progress and it feels really rewarding when you score your 3pnts and nail your freethrows.

Only downsize is the framerate drops, I only thought that the lag was online, but I only play offline so how can that be possible? I hope they fix it soon, cause the games looks stunning!
 
Re: NBA 2K10 - PS3, 360, PC, Wii, PSP

Should be out today.
 
Re: NBA 2K10 - PS3, 360, PC, Wii, PSP

wow looking at the highlights of a game is like looking at a real game the commentary is also great.

  • Tuned the substitution logic such that users should no longer be substituted out only to be substituted in at the next dead ball.

  • The logic that determines whether or not you get an invite to Training Camp, make the NBA team, and get an invite from an NBA team while in the NBA D-League have all been changed to be a little more forgiving.

I'm delighted with the fixes but I'm also angry that the game shipped with all these bugs and glitches in the first place.

Anyway I look forward to playing the game again, been waiting for this.
