Once again, that said, if you can beat this game, buy it! On NBA 2k10, I cannot even win one game! My Create-A-Player is about the worst guy to ever hold a basketball in his hand, and my record is something like 0-13.
#NBA 2K9 FOR PSP SERIES#
Maybe I am just terrible, but I have no trouble beating NBA Live on almost any difficulty and I have zero trouble beating Sony's NBA series on any difficulty. Having said that, do not buy this game if you are average to sub-par at playing basketball games.įor me, this game is very difficult. It obviously beats past year's games but, it also blows new games, such as NBA Live 10 out of the water. In graphics, player animations, and actual game mechanics. Released in autumn 2009, NBA 2K10 represents the tenth season of the basketball series, with developer Visual Concepts creating the Dreamcast-exclusive original NBA 2K a decade earlier.īy far, NBA 2k10 is the most realistic basketball video game out there. Through the series' "Living Rosters" features, a team of expert sports analysts streams roster changes, trades, injuries, and player ratings. The "NBA Today" in-game rundown reports up-to-date wins, loses, and other news. For Internet-connected gamers, NBA 2K's suite of online features keeps the virtual league coordinated with real-world events.

NBA 2K10 also provides new defensive controls, which allow gamers to take charge of pressure, off-ball positioning, and shot blocks.įor gamers who prefer to see themselves as the heroes of the hardwood, an enhanced "My Player" mode allows the custom creation of an NBA superstar-to-be, who can begin in summer training camps and try to earn a starting position on a favorite pro team. The 2K Sports "Association" franchise mode returns, offering almost complete control over trades across the league. New Signature Tendencies influence player decisions in the heat of the moment. The series' Signature Play system builds on the player-specific styles featured in earlier games. Across all platforms, the game retains the basic flow and feel of the 2K series' play style on the court, while refining league management features and adding new presentational elements intended to bring NBA authenticity.
#NBA 2K9 FOR PSP PSP#
Last year's version was more accepting of keyboard input, but this year's is clearly geared towards those with Xbox 360 controllers.
Before you know it you'll be 20 points behind and the commentators will be lamenting your terrible play. Likewise, defend foolishly and the AI (and any competent human player -incidentally, playing online isn't the easiest thing to do) will rip you to shreds. Fail to do this and variables hidden away behind the scenes will reduce the your player's chance of nailing a shot.
You'll loose if you don't respect the fundamentals, creating space with movement, finding an open man and choosing the right shot to take at the right moment.
#NBA 2K9 FOR PSP SIMULATOR#
So just like last year, this is a basketball simulator rather than an NBA Jam-style flashy dunk-'em-up arcade game.
This release isn't wildly different to last year's iteration, but then again, that one was so good there's really no need for wild changes to have been implemented. NBA 2K10 does this almost perfectly, with superb commentary and broadcast presentation making every game a big occasion. While No Sports game will ever properly recreate what it's like to participate in the activity, they can at least make it look like you're watching the sport on the TV.
