NBA2K10
Jordan CAP preview Click
Here for a look at my Jordan CAP in 2K10. If
you were able to view the cross-eyed 3D video from
2K9, you can do the same with this image to make
it 3D.
Not sure how I'm going to share my CAPs yet. The
new stick morphing makes it impossible to type directions.
I guess I can take screenshots of every section,
but that's not very accurate, if you're off by a
little on a bunch of them it could turn out totally
different.
Just
got NBA 2K10 and am extremely disappointed.
For some reason 2K has decided to remove our ability
to use retired numbers from teams. Which means no
#23 Jordan or #33 Pippen.
In order to use those numbers on the "Bulls"
you have to take them into Association/Season mode
and export the team. Problem with that is that when
you export a team with Created Players, they turn
into the default low-resolution models you see on
the bench with generic faces. So that's certainly
no solution.
It doesn't look like I'll be doing any 2K10 videos,
unless they patch in the option to use retired numbers.
Here's hoping...
NBA2K9
in 3D
NBA
2K9 like you've never seen before! Michael Jordan
drives crosscourt and converts an acrobatic layup
around the defense of the Jazz.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start doing all my videos
in 3D. I just wanted to try this out, and I really
like how it looks. It's not perfect, but shots like
the ball bouncing around the rim really pop out.
Try watching it a couple times and focusing on different
things.
Use the drop-down menu below the video to select
your viewing method. I actually like Cross-Eyed
best, it doesn't require any 3D Glasses and it keeps
the true color. All you have to do for that is cross
your eyes until both images merge in the middle
and your vision locks onto it.
The YouTube 3D player is a bit of a resource hog,
so it might not play smoothly. The video is originally
in slow motion anyways so it shouldn't be too much
of a problem. Unclicking the HD button might make
it play smoother, while degrading the quality.
Check it out on YouTube.
And if you just want to see the smooth Cross-Eyed
effect check that out on GameTrailers.
NBA2K9:
Here Comes Mike
Got
my 360 back from RROD repair woohoo, So here's the
full version of the play in my "Where Will
Amazing Happen This Year?" video. I really
liked how it looks at full speed so I had to expand
on it and make one of my regular style videos from
it.
NBA2K9:
Where Will Amazing Happen This Year?
First
new video in 9 months! Michael Jordan flies down
the lane to jam home Pippen's missed free throw,
in this takeoff on the NBA's "Where Will Amazing
Happen This Year?" commercials.
This is not a true re-creation moment, as the play
really happened against the Blazers during the 92-93
regular season. I wasn't sure if I would even be
able to put this together so I saved some time by
using my already created Lakers instead.
I plan on making one of my regular style videos
out of this play next, with before/after shots,
because it looks fantastic at full speed. It'll
have to wait though because I suffered my very first
red ring of death today, hopefully I'll get it back
before 2K10 hits, ha.

Improving
CAP for NBA 2K10
Check
out the blog
I wrote over at Operation Sports, showcasing ways
to help improve the Create A Player feature in 2K10.
It's a wishlist of sorts, and if you're registered
over there you can chime in with your ideas as well.
NBA2K9: Flu Game
My
first NEW re-created moment for 2K9, the 1997 NBA
Finals Flu Game. I did a few edits to my Jordan
CAP to give him a tired look, mainly by raising
his Brow Center, lowering the Mouth Corners, and
closing the Eye Openess a tad. The final shot is
of course from my Where Amazing Happens video, since
I couldn't capture anything like it in game. It
does have a bit more motion in it though, and the
crowd moves as well.
As always, check it out on YouTube
and GameTrailers.
It was in fact just picked up by GameTrailers and
added to the Featured User Movies section! :)
NBA2K9: The Move
As
I said earlier, I wanted to give this one another
try as well, with the new Shotstick Advanced, so
here it is! Check it out at YouTube
and GameTrailers.
Trying to do this one really showed how improved
the Defensive AI is. In 2K8 i just ran down the
lane and got the shot, in 2K9 I had to take control
of the Lakers with another controller and try to
clear the lane as much as possible so someone didn't
come jumping in and ruining my shot ha.
It's the 1998 NBA Finals video, which of course
I recreated in 2K8, but wasn't thrilled with the
outcome so I thought I would give it another try
in 2K9. I'm not going to be re-doing all my 2K8
ones, but aside from this one I think the 1991 Finals
layup would be a good one to redo. Since we have
the advanced shot-stick to actually do it properly.
We'll see. Still trying to find a fresh new moment
to do.
