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...

NBA 2K10 Online Impressions
As the popularity of the NBA 2K franchise has risen the online performance has taken a sharp decline in its wake. Last year the Team Up mode was introduced however it was never able to consistently handle the load of multiple users being connected into one online game. With NBA 2K10 it has now been five days and online is still completely unreliable and some modes aren't even functional. If there is one thing I've always pushed for on the site it is companies living up to their promises a...

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 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...

NBA 2K10 Full NBA Finals Video
Wanting to get up a video displaying a full playoff game, I figured what better one to go for than game seven of the NBA Finals. The sim had the Blazers knotted up at 3-3 with the Celtics with the deciding game being played in Portland. This was played on All Star difficulty and is definitely the most entertaining from start to finish of any of the videos that I have posted to date. Continue on to check out the game stats and the video of the entire game broken down by quarter. As always ...

NBA 2K10 Initial Impressions
Having spent a significant amount of time with NBA 2K10 over the last few days it felt like a good time to post some of my general impressions of the game thus far. Of course make sure to watch the videos I've posted to make your own judgments on some of the strengths and weaknesses. The demo will be out tomorrow for the 360 exclusively with the Magic @ Lakers in a single four minute quarter. From the way things have been explained it sounds like the PS3 won't see it until next Thursday. At ...

NBA 2K10 Videos Set #2
After getting up the full game Spurs @ Jazz matchup I wanted to offer a little more variety in the videos. Because they are recorded in HD it can take almost an entire day to capture, convert, upload, and process a full game's worth of vids. It becomes easier to do a quarter here and there rather than a a handful to do all at once. So here you can find a quarter of Wizards @ Knicks and Mavericks @ Warriors and the first half of Nets @ Bulls. The Nets @ Bulls matchup has the difficulty bum...
