NBA 2k10 is one of the more realistic basketball sims out there and with NBA Live on its heels, 2k felt the need to push their game to the next level.

With this game, enhancements were made to the animations as well as the presentation to the game. This is one of the first game in the 2k series where you actually FEEL like you're watching a game. The amount of detail involved whether it be small things like them mentioning what day of the week it is during a game to the banter between announcers that was unheard of before.

One of the best additions to this game is the new My Player mode which lets you create your own player, choose the position, the look and feel, and everything else down to how your player takes his jumpshot. You then build him up by trying to make an actual NBA team. You start in the D-League, play in summer camps for NBA teams until you eventually make the squad and fight for the starter position.

Overall, this game made a much needed step forward after not much improvement in 2k9. I highly recommend this game to any basketball fan out there.

This game didn't live up to the expectations. After such a flawless NBA 2K9, they released NBA 2K10 which I clearly considered as a BETA release. It has a lot of glitches in the gameplay that even a casual gamer would scratch their heads off because of all the notable bugs in the game. Most complaints about the game can be found on the 2K website forum.
If you still want to buy this game, take my advice - DON'T BUY THIS GAME!

I was an NBA Live fan up until 2k9. I've heard other 2k's before that were better than Live but I was too loyal, hoping maybe one day NBA Live would get it together. 2k9 was soo much better than live I felt deprived. Now 2k10 in some ways isn't better than 2k9 but the "My Player" mode is what NBA games have been lacking for a long time. Yes you could lock to a certain player but it really didn't do much since it wasn't really tracked as far as how well you were playing the position. My player brings that challenge to work day in and out. After playing a regular franchise you get bored but to make accomplishments as an individual has really got me playing this game allot more trying to get better. It's not perfect but I'm loving it so far.

Initially, I was taken back by the complete change in feel and gameplay in 2k10 compared to previous ones. I actually thought of posting a 3. Then, I went back and spent more time in the game. It has indeed changed, but for the better. It is much more REALISTIC. No more reach and steal your game to the easy finish as was the case in HOF mode in previous 2K games. The "Pro" mode (3 levels lower than HOF) is harder than HOF in previous ones.

Gameplay is much more difficult and realistic. It is lot harder to defend in this game. The controls do feel completely different but I got used to it. Graphics are incredible but I like the more realistic feel to the game. It definitely is not as easy as just put the ball in an allstar hand and just blow by everyone. Its much more offensive set oriented.

I think many people that posted negatively will change their opinion once they played more than one or two game. It takes some time to get used to this version. I have had played the 2K Bball series from the first to the tenth. This one is the most feature rich, robust, and realistic.

This game is not for players that like arcade-like feel games. It does make you think the game more like Madden does. Realistic gameplay for the real bball fans not the casual ones.

This game is sweet. I think most of the people complaining about it have the 360 version. The PS3 version has no issues that I have noticed. I think its better than 2k9 for sure.
