    The game is way too difficult out of the box. Calling x's and o's, means getting the ball stolen, while you choose a play for a particular player. The shooting clock is not in relation with, the 5 minute quarters, so expect scores for example of 62-45. Even if you set the sim clock to 5min, the computer stats will still be out of wack.

The only way to get the scores close is by upping the game time to at least 7 minute quarters.

    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.

    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.
