I'm never having any of these issues in 2K10 you guys speak of. Not sure why.

Me neither.

Oh wait, I still play 2k9. I still like it though.

Don't know whether or not to create a new thread for impressions of the full game, but here it is. I downloaded the game today, psshh I'm gonna buy it once it's released anyway, I just couldn't resist.

Played some games on Pro and Sim sliders.

First Thunder (me) against the Warriors, which was a fairly easy win. I dominated with Durant and the Dubs played some shitty basketball. Curry and Monta chucked up threes all night, only hitting a few of them.
I almost turned it up to All-Star, but I decided to play a game with a worse team against a better opponent, which I just finished. It was the Bucks (me) @ the Bulls.
Was a completely different story, it was a close affair all game, I ended up winning 89-83 thanks to a good team effort. Jennings was doing it all, had 16/7/5, Bogut had made some tough shots in the paint, he had 17 and 8. Rose was killer, he dropped 27 on me.

Overall, I loved it. I struggled in the beginning, since none of the easy shit you know from the past games works anymore. You might be able to still get some easy dunks off a P&R, but the passes through the lane got ALOT harder. I even had some turnovers on outlet passes because I was used from 2k10 to just throw it up the court to the guy farthest away, no matter how 'well' he was guarded.
I really feel that my teammates finally play some good defense.
Also I love the new play calling, even though I had a few instances where I confused it with direct passing which led to some turnovers, but I'd think that's only a matter of getting used to it.
Still gotta learn some Isomotion and post play.

Oh and the POTG presentation is pretty badass, I might add.

I love this game.

Just came off a tough loss playing as the Blazers @ the Lakers. Final score was 89-96. Kobe dropped some unbelievable shots, he killed me with 43 points.

As always, I love the little things in the 2k games. They have players on the floor talking to each other on defense. At one time I had to inbound the ball on the Lakers' baseline, and for some reason Roy was completely unguarded. While I passed you could hear someone quickly shouting "RoyRoyRoyRoy" and a defender came fyling. Was too late though, BRoy swished it. :cool:

Also, while at the stripe I could hear someone offering "Fresh popcorn!" in the first row. Don't know how realistic that is, it was still cool to hear.
