IGN NBA 2K10 Preview is up

IGN.com just posted their NBA 2K10 preview. The reviewer didn't get the complete build of the game yet but some of his impressions are interesting.

A lot of the focus was again centers on the realism of the player's movements as well as signature moves. This was a big problem with last year's game although most would say a step int he right direction. Hopefully the user will still have control over the players without the signature animations getting in the way.

One of the things he mentioned that sounds like a relief is that they decided to simplify Isomotion dribbling for this year. I've always found this much to difficult especially if you like playing with the game speed up.

Apparently the left trigger will be used more often than year's past and turbo usage is being encouraged to drop. I really wish there was at least an option to go to the dribbling controls that are in College Hoops 2K8.

Turbo has plagued NBA games in online play for some time now but I have always been against players getting too tired by the end of the games. I guess it does make sense though to have this be a point of emphasis to trying and get the game a little more realistic.

The other main focus is with a new feature called My Player. Much like the feature in MLB The Show you create your own player and play out his career, starting at the draft combine where you can compete in workouts prior to the draft.

This seems like it could be very cool and I'll definitely check it out, but I'm not sure it will work as good in a basketball game like it does in baseball. If it does this can defeinitely make the game last a lot longer than last year's.

The other focus is with the online play which I don't care much about with NBA games because of all the cheese. Here is the link to the Full Review.

Thank you, my name is Andrew.
