NBA 2K10 Draft Combine is an interesting experiment that pays off overall. Even though it has a few nagging issues, some frustrating bits and a gratingly-repetitive soundtrack, players are still offered a bite-sized simulation that gives them a fully-functional 2K Sports experience. The ability to import a player into NBA 2K10 is a good hook for players that can't get enough of the hardwood franchise and the low price tag will fit the bill of the casual sports fan. With drills, free shooting, scrimmages and combine games, there is a surprising amount of variation in the title and the serviceable presentation make for a satisfying quick-play basketball experience. Draft Combine might not blow players away, but it gives players another interesting downloadable approach to tie in with a long-running console franchise.
