Which is better NBA 2K9 or NBA 2K10?

Answer 1

NBA 2K9 didn't have that huge step up that NBA 2K10 did. When I first got NBA 2K8, I thought, "Wow. This looks like the real thing." A few of the improvements of NBA 2K9 from NBA 2K8: NBA 2K9 had realistic crowd reactions. It also had smooth post and perimeter game play. Now, compare NBA 2k10 with NBA 2K9. NBA 2K10 had My Player Mode. It's basically a career mode in which you create your own player and bring him up throught the draft, and play in all the games. NBA 2K9 didn't have that mode, although NBA Live 09 did. But Live 09 cannot compare to even ESPN NBA 2K4. Another improvement in NBA 2K10 are the menus. 2K9 had more menus than at a restruant, whereas 2K10 is easier to navigate.

NBA 2K10 also had NBA Today. Think... Dynamic DNA for the Live series. 2K10 also has improved graphics. On the sidelines, you can see the players in their team respective warm-up suits. For example, if the Lakers were playing the Cavs in Cleveland, L.A. would be wearing their purple-with-gold-sleeves warm-up. Splash-graphics based on real-world stats were also put into the game. Actually, this really factors in the commentary, leading to a much more conversational broadcast experience.

For better or worse, gone are the days where you could be controlling KB24 for the entire half using turbo. Now, there is a fatigue factor. If a player is getting tired, he'll start jogging or walking back.

I know a whole bunch of people have been taking about frame-rate issues. Well, when I got NBA 2K10, the frame-rate gave me no grief, (I have PS3) and I actually had the smoothest game play ever. Also new are facial animations. They'll yell and pound their chest when they're hyped up. They'll look surprised when they get a hand in their face on a wide open perimeter jumper. They'll frown and grimace when the other team makes a shot, or when they're angry.

The arena's atmosphere leads to a much more realistic game. More crowd chants, and they're much more timely.

Well, that wraps up the NBA 2K10 WikiAnswers review. For the full detailed review, head over to IGN.com.
