This is stupid... 2K is making you buy it this thing now when it used to be free on all the previous years... 2k9 2k8.. 2k7.. all of them had this for free.. ******* money hogs.
I'm into 2k's basketball series, so $5 isnt nothing, esp since you can bring the created player in the full version game.
I don't mind paying... hell I've already pre-ordered the nba 2k10 anniversary edition which costs $100... but I'm just disappointed in 2K in charging these little things now simply because they have the most sales as far basketball video games go... all the previous years had this thing for free embedded in the game.
Check out this link, it has some screen shots of the combine. Looks much improved. http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/fi...24/2k_sports_announces_nba_2k10_draft_combine
Cant you just create your player in "create-a-player" and give him the attributes you want as opposed to doing gimmicky, repetitive, mini-games?
That's what this is... except they removed it from the game and are making you buy it now... buncha cheapskates trying to make a load off of people now because they've had the best selling basketball video game for a few years now...
I didn't really enjoy 2k9. I got frustrated trying to figure out sliders that worked and ended up just selling the game.
I think this is great, you get to experience some of the gameplay a MONTH early before the actual game comes out... seriously it's only 5$ get a job people.
i'm pretty sure you'll be able to do that in the full version of the game. this demo download follows separate objectives.
I don't think they ever had something like this before. Sure they've had demos but this looks like more than just a demo.
They're going to release this DLC draft combine and there will be a a demo separate from the DLC... for you to dl via psn/xbox live.
