On June 1, 2009, 2K Sports announced NBA 2K10: Anniversary Edition to celebrate 10 years of the NBA 2K franchise, and the milestone of having sold two million units of NBA 2K9 worldwide. NBA 2K10: Anniversary Edition will come packaged in a specially designed 2K Sports locker configured for game storage, and include a Kobe Bryant figurine and poster, along with a commemorative video looking back on 10 years of the NBA 2K franchise and its past cover athletes. Gamers with Xbox Live and PlayStation Network membership will also gain exclusive access to an online lobby - the Gold Room - where celebrities and other VIP members will go to play.[4]

NBA 2K10 Draft Combine

The NBA 2K10 Draft Combine is a downloadable content game for the Xbox Live Arcade (400 Microsoft Points) and PlayStation Network ($4.99). It was released on August 26, 2009 on the Xbox Live Arcade and on September 3, 2009 on the PlayStation Network.[5] The game allows users to create a player and let that player complete drills and games in a pre-NBA draft camp to increase their draft stock. Users are able to upload their player to the 2K servers to use in the NBA 2K10 Player Career mode once the disc-based game was released.[6] Derrick Rose was announced the cover athlete for Draft Combine on August 11, 2009.[7]

Reception

NBA 2K10 has been met with generally favorable reviews, garnering a Metacritic aggregate score of 86 out of 100[8] for Xbox 360 edition and an 84 out of 100 for PS3 edition.[9] GamePro scored it with a 4.5 out of 5,[13] citing strong visuals and presentation in addition to an in depth "Association mode". G4TV awarded it a 4 out of 5.[11]

A common source of complaints among reviewers, however, are apparent performance problems with the game. Several reviewers have cited frame rate drops of varying frequency among all versions of the game.[10][13][11][14] According to IGN, the Xbox 360 seems to be affected more than other platforms while the PC seems to be the least affected. 1UP awarded NBA 2K10 a B-[12] citing this and other flaws including online mode issues, cumbersome/difficult menus - a change which IGN praised NBA 2K10 for - and a lackluster A.I..
