This is the best basketball game for PSP on the market. It puts NBA Live 08/09 and Sony's NBA 09 to shame. Great gameplay and graphics. Highly recommended!

This review is from: NBA 2K10 (Video Game)

I am VERY pleased with this game! I have played Live on psp since 06 and I then switched over to sony's NBA series. Live's graphics are not good at all and nor is the gameplay. But I continued to buy Live because I needed a portable basketball game. I then found out about Sony's NBA series and the first one I bought was NBA 08. Now I can say the graphics in that game is pretty good! But the gameplay stinks! They run around so fast like ants! Its annoying! So when I heard NBA 2k10 would be out on psp, I was ecstatic! After playing the game a few times, here are my pros and cons:

PROS:
-Amazing gameplay! Is actually very realistic.
-Fun games modes
-Super deep Franchise mode (called The Association in 2k10)
-Ok graphics (good for PSP. Reminds me of PS2 graphics)
-Create A Player (Finally!!!) is very detailed. Can even choose what type of shoes the player wears
-Music for the game is GREAT!
-Amazing and very realistic cut scenes (including crowd cut scenes!)
-Players and coaches on the sidelines
-Many dunk styles (not just one simple dunk like in Live)

CONS:
-Framerate issues at times (not much though)
-When using a camera angle that is zoomed out very far, the graphics look pretty weak.
-The players DO NOT look like their real life counterparts...they look like pit bulls.
-The game menus can be confusing if you are not familiar with 2k Sports games
-Sound issues. Sometimes the crowd is deadly silent

But those cons are not a big deal. The good definitely outweigh the bad!! I can sit and play this game for hours! I have yet to touch my Xbox 360 today because I have been playing NBA 2k10 on my psp! I highly recommend this game if gameplay is a big thing for you! If you are into graphics, you may want to look at NBA 10: The Inside and just suffer with the terrible gameplay. I recommend this game over Live and NBA 10!

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than Live 10, December 11, 2009

This review is from: NBA 2K10 (Video Game)

NBA games are the only games I buy for my PSP nowadays. This year, I've bought both this game and Live 10, and this is the better game. Here's a comparison.

Pros:
- In 2K10, the graphics are better optimized. On Live 10, whenever the game zooms out to half-court, the graphics become pixelated, which is annoying. In this game, the aliasing is better, which makes the animations look better.
- The characters here are also better animated. In Live they're more robotic. In 2K10 you can actually tell what's going on just from watching the animations. If someone fouls, you can tell who it was because they looked pissed off. Meanwhile the guy who's going to the line pumps his fists. If the ball gets knocked outta bounds, you just watch the ref to know who's ball it is.
- Gameplay is way better. The simulation and pace feels more like an actual NBA game. Computer controlled players will actually cut and try to set up plays, as opposed to Live where they tend to go through the motions.
- The instant replay is programmed better. You'll see the same dunk from different angles. In Live you get one replay and a lot of times it's from a crappy angle.
- Free throws use the analog stick, instead of trying to line up an X and Y cursor like in Live. It's more intuitive.
- A ton of cut scene animations. During a timeout, you'll see the coach call it. After a big play, you'll see bench players high fiving each other. Halftime you see cheerleaders. If there's an injury, you see the player going to the lockeroom. I've seen one cut scene showing the fans doing a wave and one fan getting mad at the guy next to him because he messed it up. Live has none of these.

Cons:
- Everything except the players and the cutscenes are low res. You can especially tell when looking at the court and the logos are so low res they look out of focus.
- The skins they used for the players are ugly as can be. The player faces in Live actually looked like their counterparts. Here all the players look like pitbulls. Wait til you see Gasol's face in this game. You'll be like WTF is that??!
- The camera always follows the ball and doesn't zoom out far enough. So say you're playing D, if you're not covering the man with the ball, both you and your man might be off screen.
- Live's commentary with Marv Albert and Steve Kerr is better. In Live they even tell jokes and argue with each other. Here it's cut and dry. IE. every foul,the commentators announce "DEFENSIVE FOUL" or "OFFENSIVE FOUL," which is helpful, but it takes you out of the game.
- I've noticed sound tends to cut in and out sometimes. I'll be playing and the crowd will be cheering then all of a sudden it's dead quiet except for the dribble. I've also seen video freeze for a split second when the disc is being read. Live has some bugs too so I guess it is what it is.

In the end, 2K10 is the game to get.
