NBA 2K10 Take Over Trailer

[authentic24]

if that demo enforces my impressions so far this may be the 1st year i don't buy 2k in 4 years

Cool teaser. Nothing more, nothing less. I didn't like the sound effect that was thrown in during the steals, and wasn't a big fan of the white dissolves. Would've liked to have seen more standard edits. I liked the signature freeze frame thing, but it was brought in kind of late for a rhythmic repetition. Might have been a stronger theme if used as a bookend.

This thread has been a mess with the talk of marketing(from people who have been through this year after year), the discussions of Live and what not. I guess you can't underestimate how people will act when they are frustrated, but the bad apples are definitely spoiling the bunch these days. As soon as 2k puts out a teaser, you know exactly what form the same old tired complaints are going to take. And just like every year, it doesn't matter because 2k will release a demo and a bunch of gameplay featurettes before the game releases. It's even more irrelevant on this hardcore site, where most people buy the game every year anyway.

The biggest joke of it all is that the more the hardcore fans complain about 2k's marketing, the more the game seems to sell. I could stomach it if people were actually discussing the nuts and bolts of the marketing, but they are really just whining about not getting what they want.

Bornindamecca love ya work mate, i don't mind the teasers at all, they do the same thing every year, live always brings out the new features because they have been behind the last few years and are trying to get people excited about NBA basketball games and also about their live 10 game, and honestly i'll buy both this year as i always do because they both have something to offer that the other doesn't

well the reason it sells more is because more casual gamers are buying it, and that's true with any genre of gaming. the less skill oriented you make a game the more it sells because it becomes more of a pick up a play game. and everybody can play it, hardcore gamers will always cry about the games that they hold dear to their heart because hardcore gamers put in work to be good at a game and when the game starts to take away those layers to make it more accessible to the masses then you have a game that lacks.

Yeah, thats one good sign, I haven't seen this in the combine. But then again, I haven't unlocked that move in the combine . But I haven't heard anything about until now. Just wierd that it appears to still be there. Hopefully its been scrapped...I know it can be rather easily.

Nice. Still wanna see a gameplay video with commentary.
