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.
