NBA 2K10's Review

From the view of someone whose not a big of a sports-game fan, this is definitely another great year for the NBA 2K franchise. They not only strengthen their usual strong features (such as graphics, game-play, voice commentaries, soundtrack, and the realistic basketball moves), they added new features such as the NBA today. What it does is keep you updated with the current events in the NBA; like trade events, live scores, and the latest news. Another feature which I think is new (like I said, not big of a sports-game fan), is the online league where you could actually create your own tournament or season or you can also join other player's league. Another strong feature 2K10 offers is the "My Player" mode. It's very realistic in the sense that you are suppose to live a life of an actual wannabe NBA player. From the training camps, to hopefully joining an NBA team. Your character's skills will improve depending on how you play them during the practices. It's pretty fun and it will be very time consuming. Another thing I notice is that the game-play is paced slower, which is a good thing because it makes it look more realistic; rather than you turbo "Kobe" all the way to the other end of the court and make points. The bad points in this game are minor, such as navigating through the menu can be at first frustrating when you are not used to it. What's frustrating too is the option feature when you play online against another player. You could actually pause the game a total of 3 minutes for the whole 4 quarters. So it allows you to pause and play anytime you want making the other player wait while you toggle the options menu (such as showing them a replay on how good you made the last dunk). And some other really really minor negatives which really doesn't affect the game-play and worth mentioning.

Overall, it's still the best NBA game until next year. This game will keep you playing whether it's against your friends, or online. Whether it's "My Player" mode or the "Association" mode, or even the "Season" mode. Whatever it is, it will keep you busy for couple of months at least. Definitely get this game if you are fan of basketball.

Overall: 8.3 / 10
