NBA 2K10 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

SOLID GAME AWESOME GRAPHICS AND FINALLY YOU CAN PLAY EFFECTIVE DEFENSE I JUST GOT TIRED OF NBS LIVE AND MISSING BLOCKS AND NOT ROTATING WHY DO THESE GAMES GET UNDER GRADED THIS GAME IS A 8.5 AND I AM A HEAT FAN MY TEAMS NOT GONNA BE GOOD TILL NEXT YEAR AND I STILL ENJOYED IT BECAUSE OF THE D I STAYED IN EVERY GAME

i was always loving nba live den i decided to try 2k9 and now im playing 2k10 and its simply the best basketball game ever and im da best that u will ever c im simply da greatest 2k player ever i should go into the hall of fame SN Tweeze16 come try ur luck

This game is awesome. When it first came out in 2009, it had its flaws. But hats off tho the 2K people for actually listening to their loyal customers & taking action. The My Player mode is the most awesome basketball feature of all time. It is down right addictive. You become immersed in making your player the best thing the NBA has ever seen. And right now, LeBron asks my guy for his autograph. (JK) But seriously, the franchise mode is great & the online play is phenominal. There is a My Crew mode that is ridiculous. NBA live should be NBA Dead compared to the 2K series.

i got to say this game is the best there is kobe everyone i would give it a 200\10

I love every basketball game, but NBA 2K10 is the best one yet. The graphics are the best and it feels like a real game. Living Rosters keep you up to date with the latest romurs and game scores and stats. NBA Today is a site in the game and gives you a list of games that are coming on that day. It gives the choice to play those games or look at previous game stats. The new Mode called My player is an intresting game mode, and the least of my favorites. It is fun but after a while, like in your 3rd game, it gets really boring. I recomend The Acossiation Mode or The Play-Offs mode than that one. The one thing that I love about this game is that, every player is unique, no player is the same. Different jump shots, cross-overs and even different styles. D-Wade has a tendessee to take it to the paint and score rather than take 3pt shots or pass first like Steve Nash. this game can't get any better but there is still room to Improve. Hopefully, They'll try to fix there very small mistakes next year in NBA 2k11.

This game is the greatest I mean like the game play is real, the graphics are astonishing, the moves are crisp and clean, the reaction to big plays are heart-racingly spectacular. The game makes you rave over and over again if you get tired playing this game you simply aren't into sports games as much as you think you are. Everything from last year that was good is great...2K stepped up this year haven't played Live yet but 2K is definitely a keeper whether Live is good or not.

Im sooooooooooooooo hooked on this game and i just got it yesterday!
funnest game ever! it really rocks. 1,000,000 times better than nbalive10. omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my initial reaction to the game after about 5 days and 50 games.

The Good:
Best graphics ever for a basketball game. You can see the players sweating and they look like themselves more than ever.
Most realistic basketball gameplay i've yet to play.
Improved post move control.
My player mode adds another way to learn how to play and adds another dimension to the game.

The Bad:
PS3 online has been unbelievably unstable.
No more online lobbies.
You can't pick who your going to play against online.
Alley-oops are too easy to execute and are a problem.
New iso-motion control which made chaining moves together less prevalent

The UGLY:
Lead passing is impossible to stop.
There is a slight delay for online games so makes timing the release of free-throws and jump shots unreasonably difficult.
There is no way to customize and save online settings so you must reset it for every match.

THIS GAME IS THE DOPEST GAME EVER I DONT EVAN PLAY B-BALL WELL I DO BUT IT AINT MY BEST SPORT I PLAY FOOTBALL IM DOPE AT THAT BUT YEAH I SWEAR THE WAy U CAN CREAT A PLAYER AND BRING HIM FROM TRYOUTS TO THE NBA DRAFT IS DOPE I LOVE THE WAY THAT EVERY THING IS MORE REALISTIC AND KOBE IS ON THE FRONT COVER WHEN I WAS PLAYING IT GOT BORING BUT WHEN YOU GET THE HANG OF IT ITS UNBELIEVABLE LIKE WOWWWWW IDK IF THERES ANY WAY TO TELL YOU THIS BUT IF YOUR INTO SPORTS YOU NEED TO GET NBA 2K10 BECOUSE LARONIS13 SAID SO LOL PLUSE YOU CANT FORGET THAT IT HAS KOBE BRYANT ON THE COVER. IM OUT PEACE.

I really like how they had updated the graphics as they use to be good like now the fans look real while playing the game not oonly when the pre game is happening. The controls are so smooth now like dribbling and crossovers are great when they was so hard to really use, when you uase to always charge somebody defending you. The AI is better than before they are now tough to play aganist so the game can be more changelling as well as fun at the same time. IT has also a great new feature when you can make an star in the nba now as a rookie that i love way better than that 24/7 they had awhile ago this feature is actually really fun to be able to do that. I have been somebody who has been waiting for somebody to do this cause i want that feature foreal not just create a player and act like that doe to make him a star but now he actualy will be one. This game is the best i played so far that i have gotten out of all the nba games i have played but this game is for everybody that loves basketball it really is.

The graphics are great.

The gameplay is good considering how tough basketball games are to make fun for playing both the CPU and a human opponent.

But the My Player mode doesn't function correctly and freezes after the first season, online doesn't work properly and there are way to many glitches during the game.

At first I thought this is a very, very good game but as I played more I was very disappointed. I think I gave it such a low rating because this game had so much potential. It is a shame!

Whether it was rushed or not, it feel very short.

I know there is a 2K live war and I have been a fan of 2k for the last 3 years but i will not sit here and act like this game is great just to be loyal to the series. 2K10 has tons of glitches and issues.
issues: The game literally has no defense.
shot percentages are unrealistically high (i lost a game shoot 75% on superstar because the CPU shot 86%, the real NBA is more like 44-57% for the winning team) i am yet to play a game where the losing team shot less than 59%.
Open shots miss waay!! too much.
Cutting big men make every basket.
thousands of alley oops thrown and completed.
did i mention defense is non-existent.
AI Offense moves GREAT without the ball, AI defense never follows, never.
Glitches:
backcourt, overdribbling, bad passes on fast breaks (shouldn't have to direct pass on a fast break). Out of bounds, stupid refs.
good things:
animations
turbo system
blocking shots (when the slider is up)
my player (gets repetitive)
commentary
At the end of the day it's hard to justify playing a basketball game without good playcall excution and defense. Theres offense and theres defense that's what makes it a sport. 2k10 is not a sport it's a game. A good game but a horrible sim.

2k did the same thing with servers last year when '09 debuted. CANNOT ACCESS ONLINE FUNCTIONS. I think they want everyone to try the other stuff before they open up online.

I gave it a 10 on xbox 360 cause of custom soundtrack & that made the game better for me hope it return in 2k11

the game has it all if you are a b-ball fan you will love it. the dunks crossovers, the gameplay was even better than last year and i didnt even think that could even happen. so if u aint got it get from gamefly fast.

I never really followed the 2K series, but if this game is any indication of how the series has been, then I haven't missed much.
The game is very glitchy. Screens of stats pop up and forgot to go away, which is very furstrating when your trying to play the game around a stat box thats stuck in the middle of the screen. COmputer never misses a shot. Picking the lakers and still losing to the oklahoma thunder can make a man sick. Great graphics is all this game has going for it. Menus are frustrationg and difficult to use, Online is pointless since you cant choose your match, and the game is just generally not good and feels like it was rushed out

NBA2K10 is a good game, don't let anybody say else. My player mode is unbelieveable, there's just somethings that need to be changed. First after you do the Summer league trying to ger a invite to training camp the game say you've been cut and you have to choose another team to play with after that you'll be playing with the team you got drafted with or you picked the first time and you'll also be playing with the team you chose the second time. this messes upi you stats cause you coul dbe having a good year with one and having a poor season with the other. 2K needs to fix this problem. Another thing the lead passing are unstoppable no matter how many time you press the steal button. the alley oops are to much, i never seen that much alleys in one game, this reminds me of NBA Shootout. all and all this game is good.

I'm a NBA Live fan 100%,, well that was until I played this years NBA 2K. This is the biggest improvement I have ever seen in a game before. I really have no words for this except for buy it.. You will want to keep it.

First, the game is fun to play. Motion control is better than EA's version and pressing the pass button the majority of the time it passes it to the person you want. EA's Basketball the pass was mostly unpredictable.

As long as you play the quick games and do not venture into the games deeper modes, like My Player which allows you to develop a singe player and have a whole career, the game is fun. This is the only reason for a 4 rating, otherwise I would give it a 1 as explained below.

If you want to play the game deeper than the quick games, you are taking a risk as the game data can corrupt. After checking the forums, I found that this is a quite common problem and you simply have to start over, despite, like I did, putting in two weeks into developing a character. You simply can't play any more. For me this is inexcusable. No game should corrupt your saved games.

In Addition, NBA2k suffers from a lot of bugs. Strange substitutions - sometimes you are only in the game for 3 seconds before being subbed out. You do well you are sent to the D-League, lots and lots of poorly formed AI. Sometimes you are even in games in which your character isn't even in the roster. Still, most of these bugs are manageable.

Play this game for quick fun, but do not invest any time into it. In fact, if you want 2k Sports a message that their Quality Control process NEEDS FIXING, then do not even get this game.

It seems like it's always a toss up between NBA 2k and NBA Live. Neither franchise seems adamant about perfecting their games, rather, they just do what they need to do to get buy. I played both the demos and thought live had both the better graphics and game play, but the reviews and, in particular, the my player mode pulled me to 2k10.

The gameplay is enjoyable.. at first but the more I played the easier and worse it got. It's just too easy to get past the defender and take it inside. The teammate AI, especially on defense, is horrible. The default dribbling controls suck (you have to hold down L2 while using the right stick), and when you get a defender to bid on a pump fake it's like an invisible wall is holding you back from getting past him. On defense, it always takes too long to recover from a failed block or steal attempt, but the cpu usually doesn't take advantage. There's also no easy way to prevent off-ball cpu players from getting under the basket.

But all these things could be overlooked and this considered a decent basketball game if it wasn't for all the glitches. A lot of them are so minor and obvious that it seems impossible to miss them if they actually tested the game before release. Cross-over dribbles often skip the motion and just have the player "transfer" back and forth. There are a couple of plays where the cpu is almost guaranteed to get offensive 3 in the key. Despite all of the patches there is still a "clone glitch" in the my player mode that causes you to be stuck in the d-league indefinitely, no matter how well you play. Not to mention you don't have access to the rules or difficulty settings after you start a "my player." And the in game coaching settings do not save.

In my 10+ years of playing video games I've never written one review. But this game, and the blatant lack of effort in testing and fixing it, is just too frustrating. Don't waste your time or money!

NBA 2K10 is a pretty good game. However, if the creators of the game would just fix some minor flaws, then the sky is the limit for this basketball franchise.

First, there are A LOT of morphing. When I pass the ball to my teammates, sometimes the ball would go right through the defenders face.

Second, the defensive reaction is pretty poor. I could drive by my defender to the basket uncontested and slam it in with a big jam.

With the minor flaws of this game, NBA 2K10 still outperforms NBA Live 2010 by a long shot. If the team who made NBA 2K10 would just fix these issues, then they would dominate the basketball genre for video games.

Perfect! nuff said!

So far this one sets the bar...This game is so very realistic...Unbelievable coverage of the game from photos to play by play commentary...If you like basketball, you can't go wrong with this game....

This is the first Basket ball game i have liked since Space Jam for the PS1. Its so much better than NBA10 so I would get this over that.
