    Coming from a person that doesn't enjoy sports games that much (mainly because i think that they are the same game each year,) I had a lot of fun with this. It is very realistic and fun.

It is very realistic and fun. There are many game modes. Some i still haven't touched because i have been playing the other game modes. First of all there is your everyday exhibition game. The gameplay works well with very few glitches. There were a few instances where there was some slow down but this does not happen a lot so it is not a major problem. The season mode is pretty self explanatory. You're a team that goes through a season or two. The weird thing, and i didn't notice this until halfway through the season, the other teams will accept any trade offer unless you turn the setting off. Overall this mode works well and this is probably where you will spend the most time. Then there is the my player mode. You create a player to try to make an NBA team. This is all good in theory but there are some major setbacks. You can call for one pass and it will bring down your game grade for excessive pass calling. It is also very hard to make your player good. It takes awhile but after you make your player good, you are going to be on a team in no time.… Expand

    I've played both this game, and NBA Live 10, and the gameplay for 2k10, to me, is much better. The graphics seem more realistic and smoother thank Live 10, and the commentary is very good.

I like the way 2k10 does an automatic roster update when the game first loads, as well as being able to FULLY edit a player, from looks and tendencies to attitude and contract. One glaring issue, however, is the menu. It's clunky and takes a lot of getting used to. Overall, though, this is a great game that I'm VERY glad I purchased.… Expand

    Anyone who's been a fan of this franchise for years can appreciate the small changes they have made in the game play as well as the improved physics, graphics and commentary. The game looks great and feels even better.

    The new 2K10 is a great success. 2K sports has added a lot of new features such as NBA Today , My player and many other cool stuffs. I loves the new gameplay especially the way that 2K Sports try to present is excellent. The pla yers look so realistic just like you are watching NBA broadcast. It 's amazing.

    I've had this game for a week and still cant play a ranked game. The most terrible and worst menu system and going online is terrible. Will trade this crap for modern warfare soon,

    The game is full of bugs and My Player mode is unplayable.They promised a patch, but we waited 3 weeks for it and it doesn't solved anything.

    It's awesome. Some minor glitches but it's still the best simulation of basketball. Beautiful graphics, smooth gameplay and a lot of content.

    A visual upgrade with overall player preference offensive possibilities. The use of the analogue sticks for shooting, dribbling, and dunking gives it a realistic flashy feel and visual representation.

    This game is very good. I've also played NBA Live 10 and I can tell you this game is much, much better than NBA Live 10. The My Player mode is great, The only problem is the online.

    It is fun to play as your favorite NBA team to compete with, but the real fun begins when you create your own NBA player and make him the best player ever.

    My favorite NBA 2k ever and this game was a huge part in my childhood. The graphics for its time were top notch. The game play is one of the best in any sports game. The soundtrack is also world class and has not been topped since.

    With solid, fast paced gameplay and an excellent presentation that's easily the best the series has ever had, NBA 2K10 continues its strong pedigree of great basketball.

    It's tough to choose between this and NBA Live 10, but in this reviewer's opinion, NBA 2K10 wins at the buzzer.

    My Player mode’s uphill struggle may not appeal to everyone, but the outstanding presentation and best-in-class Association mode make NBA 2K10 the best basketball sim.
