Basketball video gamers always
expect a high-quality performance
when they play titles such as NBA
2K, and once again the famed title
did not disappoint.
NBA 2K10 was voted the No. 1
selling basketball game of the
year, as it beat out its rival NBA
Live 10 . The game was also rated
No. 1 for its realistic simulation of
the NBA.
NBA 2K10 Anniversary Edition
is available for the PS3 and Xbox
consoles. It’s packaged in a specially
designed 2K sports
locker design.
The game features 2009
NBA Finals MVP Kobe
Bryant of the Los Angeles
Lakers as the cover
athlete. It also delivers
realistic and stylistic
graphic designs in order
to enhance the presentation
and online gaming.
“I take great pride in aligning
myself with NBA 2K10, as
it is simply the most authentic basketball
game out there, bar none,”
said 11-time NBA All-Star Kobe
Bryant in an interview with NBA
TV. “I was fortunate enough to
win a world championship when I
was announced to be on the cover.
I have learned, in my time working
with the 2K Sports team that
they, too, strive to be the absolute
best.”
NBA 2K10 offers gamers some
new features. There is the “NBA
Today” feature which offers realworld
NBA games, news, and
stats that automatically load right
into the game. Commentary and
overlays are up-to-date since it’s
based on what’s happening in the
NBA that day.
The new “My Player” feature allows
fans to create their own marquee
NBA player and guide him
through every moment of
his NBA career. The
player begins as an undrafted rookie in the
summer circuit of the NBA. Gamersmust advance the skill of their created player in order to participate in an NBA team’s training camp, or will have to settle for playing in the NBA’s Development League.
“The Association” feature
strives to be the best franchise
mode in sports video games.
There is an incorporation of the
NBA Development League and
the ability to control all 30 NBA teams
at once, including the restricted free agency period, real-time practice, a new “player progression system,” and a host of other enhancements that gives NBA 2K10 gamers the tools needed to rule the court and lead their team to victory. “Crews,” a new online feature, allows dedicated
online gamers to round up
their friends and build the ultimate
fantasy basketball team
using either created players from
My Player or an actual NBA team.
Gamers can go online and challenge
other “Crews” for bragging
rights and “progression points” as
they try to climb their way to the
top of the Crew leader board rankings.
“Signature Play” offers gamers
all signature styles and adds in allnew
signature tendencies and facial
expressions, creating NBA
2K10 teams that play and react
like the real NBA for an unbelievably
realistic NBA experience.
Improved, easy-to-use offensive
controls for dribbling and post up
plays lets gamers pull off anklebreaking
isolation moves and
execute marquee plays from
the perimeter to the paint.
Gamers can shut down
their opponents like never
before with newly-designed
defensive controls
that allow you to shadow
your opponent’s every
move, deny position off-ball, and
even select different approaches to
contest shots.
“NBA 2K10 is the dream package
for any diehard basketball fan
and will be available on more platforms
than ever before,” said Greg
Thomas, senior vice president of
sports development for 2K. “It’s
the 10th anniversary of the NBA
2K franchise and we’re celebrating
in a huge way with Kobe
Bryant on our cover and the NBA
2K10: Anniversary Edition that
includes many awesome collectables.
