    This game is pure trash, the frame rate makes even playing a quick match unplayable, online servers dont work, and has a ridiculous amount of glitches. I dont understand how this is allowed. do not buy this game untill it is patched because as of now its rendered useless. IF you dont believe me visit the 2k forums and see for yourslef the thousands of threads of complaints.

    I am absolutely astonished at how game critics have given this game a favorable review. Either they played a different game or they did not delve into any of the online features (which is a majority of the game). NBA 2k10 has to go down in history as being the most epic fail in game release and QA history. The fact that 2k released this game in such a sorry, buggy state while stealing I am absolutely astonished at how game critics have given this game a favorable review.

The fact that 2k released this game in such a sorry, buggy state while stealing people's hard earned cash should be a crime. Over 3 months later and it's still as buggy, and still unplayable online. I and many others (check out the 2ksports.com forums) have wasted countless hours/days just trying to play an online game. Extremely frustrating. Again, this game should be used as the ultimate example of how not to release a game that's not finished. I doubt I'll ever buy a 2k game again. Expand

    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.
  2. It's tough to choose between this and NBA Live 10, but in this reviewer's opinion, NBA 2K10 wins at the buzzer.
  3. This series has always been known for its presentation — particularly its animation — and 2K10 is no exception. Big and small, the movements are all so perfect now that the occasional gaffe jumps out only because it’s a reminder that you’re not watching a real NBA game.
