NBA 2K10 came out today and gamers are very frustrated over issues being experienced with poor framerate and online play that isn't working.
New year... and I'm back on the Jace Hall Show website with my weekly snarky looks at recent gaming headlines.
Yes, I'm comparing the people wanting to burn violent video games with someone...
LOS ANGELES, California – Before the slam dunks and alley oops of the 60th NBA All-Star Game that brought Hollywood and basketball together, Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose took to the practice court at the NBA Jam Session at the LA Convention Center. The avid gamer worked with 2K Sports last year and helped NBA 2K10 cover athlete Kobe Bryant award a $10,000 check to the best Xbox 360 gamer in Dallas before last year’s All-Star game at Cowboys Stadium. Rose talks about his gaming habits in this exclusive video interview.
LOS ANGELES, California -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, a three-time All-Star MVP, was this year’s leading vote-getter for the 2011 NBA All-Star Game. The reigning world champion and NBA Finals MVP earned 2,380,016 of the fan votes. He is joined in the Western Conference starting five by New Orleans Hornets’ Chris Paul (1,281,591), the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Kevin Durant (1,736,728), making his first All-Star Game start, and the Denver Nuggets’ Carmelo Anthony (1,299,849). Bryant ventured to Sony’s PlayStation Players Lounge next to Staples Center to check out the newest PlayStation 3 video games. In addition to starring in the Black Ops commercial for Activision, he also plays the game. He talks about his love of Call of Duty in this exclusive video interview.
he should maybe stop playing COD and maybe start playing some Basketball... doesn't look like the Lakers year this year...
2K basketball games always have problems at launch. I didn't even know how to get online in 2K9 last year at all. The menus were way too confusing. 2K8 is still smooth as ever though.
This franchise died a while ago. These games have been the same since 2K7, fundamentally. An engine rewrite is a must, and I don't even wanna touch the issue of annual rehashes.
Sadly, until the market responds in kind, sports games will never see the kind of production value and attention to detail that they need and deserve. I pray for the day that a developer like Polyphony digital gears up and crafts a true basketball sim, working on the game for as long as it takes to ensure a quality release, with downloadable roster updates every season.
Although I do indeed think that 2K is the best of all the basketball games out, the other two are so disastrous that they aren't even worth mentioning. In this case, being the best only means that you're marginally better than the crap to the left and the right. To me, that doesn't cut it.
I don't want an arbitrary best of three bad games, I want one quality experience.
2K at its worst is still 10000 times better then EA offering
that's when you know who is the king.
btw last year's version was patched right away and improved it, so 360
fans don't cry to much.
