i will be getting 2k10 the day it is released... i downloaded the nba live 10 demo yesterday and that game is horrible.... i just needed my baskeball fix and that didnt do it for me. i hope that they balance the gameplay, it was impossible to beat good teams with horrible teams unless you play a peferct game for 4 quarters.... you'll start off hot and then all of your shots will stop falling in the 3rd even if you are open.
i used to play against my roommmates all the time and one of them always uses the lakers, i play with the bad teams like the kings because i am good at the game but it was just so tough in 2k9 to win games. i thinks it was a biorhythm issue. they wanted it to be so real that even cpu players choke in the 4th. i would be up by 15 by half time and then bam.... every 3pt shot would miss and several layups would miss as well....
but if you have 2 good teams it was a great game. thank god for lebron james, if it werent for him i would be screwed. because my roommate mastered kobe bryant, it was damn near impossible to beat him unless i could bait him into a 3pt shoot out. durant and mayo were beasts in 2k9, okc and memphis were the only bad teams i could consistently beat the lakers with.
