Like I predicted EA took a step back this year with their NBA franchise. NBA Elite gameplay has been revealed and its only helping it’s 2K11 competition.
Three dunks in the first few minutes? Old canned animations from NBA Live?

Hopefully the game will also be the greatest of all-time. After last years bug fest my expectations are low. However, I have a feeling that EA Sports’ NBA Elite won’t be blowing anyone away in its first attempt.

The second patch for NBA 2k10 was just released for Xbox 360 yesterday Jan. 21st more than a week after the PS3s Jan. 11th release date. Still no word on why there was a delay but it’s safe to assume they found some issues during the approval phase. The patch aims to address multiple issues [...]

The first NBA 2k10 patch fixed up a lot of the mess and headaches that shipped at release but there’s still more to fix. Most complaints about the game have to do with the online experience. Laggy gameplay and broken leagues won’t win 2k10 any awards.
However 2k10 does flaunt pretty nice offline modes which continue [...]

After 2k Sports announced they had submitted their NBA 2k10 patches for Xbox 360 and PS3 earlier this week it was assumed the patches wouldn’t be available until next week. However, it looks like Xbox 360 owners will be lucky enough to receive the patch before PS3 owners. I guess the turnaround on Xbox Live [...]

Last night 2k issued this list of fixes coming in the first real patch of NBA 2k10. The patch is going through internal testing first and then will be sent to Xbox Live and PSN for approval. The patch should be out in about two and a half weeks. Judging from this extensive list the [...]

Hey folks, I want to reach out to everyone in the 2K Sports world and let you know that we’re diligently working on a game update for NBA 2K10. Our primary focus is on addressing the framerate issues and online concerns that are being reported. In addition to this, we are planning to address a [...]

NBA 2k10 was released yesterday (10/06) but it may have been released too soon. There are strange bugs and issues all over the game and the match making server keeps going offline. There have been many complaints posted on the 2k Sports official forums and a few of them I’ve found to hold true. I’m [...]

As expected the NBA 2k10 Demo was released on Xbox Marketplace today. The demo features one 4min quarter of the NBA Finals matching up the Lakers and the Magic once again. If you are an avid fan of the NBA 2k series you probably won’t notice much difference besides a graphic upgrade. Small details in [...]

Quick rant. I hate the fact that you can’t control the length of the simulated games in franchise mode. The simulated stats from other teams are just insane sometimes. I’ve seen a stat line where Drew Brees throws 6 TDs and runs for another. If I’m playing 5 minute quarters I’m lucky to have a [...]
