This is Wayback Wednesday, your midweek blast from the past! In this feature, we dig into the archives, look back at the history of basketball gaming, and indulge in some nostalgia. The NBA 2K10 Draft Combine offered gamers a sneak peek at the mode as well as an opportunity to get a head start, though only on console. In the very first iteration of career mode – then called My Player – the combine was the starting point for the whole experience, tipping things off before the full game was even released. The Draft Combine has been featured in a couple of stories (including NBA 2K20’s tale), serving as another way to prove ourselves on the virtual hardwood and raise our Draft stock. We’ve even made it to the NBA after leaving basketball behind to be a DJ, and then drawing attention in a streetball tournament. We’ve played in Rookie Showcase games, guided Freq from high school through to the pros, experienced a college career with Pres, and took a long road through China and the G League as AI. Our journey to the league in NBA 2K’s career modes has taken many forms. This week, I’m taking a look back at the NBA 2K10 Draft Combine. You’ll also find old NLSC editorials re-published with added commentary, and other flashback content. Check in every Wednesday for retrospectives and other features on older versions of NBA Live, NBA 2K, and old school basketball video games in general. As always, if you have your own work to share, by all means utilise our upload facilities! Whether a mod is for the latest game or an old favourite, it has a place here. Just make sure that they’re credited to the original author. If you happen to have any stored in your backups, please feel free to upload them as well. Once again, we’d also like to preserve community-made mods whenever possible. If anybody still has those files to share, we’d certainly welcome them being added to our Downloads database! Unfortunately, while we’ve been able to preserve official updates for the PC versions of NBA 2K10, NBA 2K11, NBA 2K12, NBA 2K13, and NBA 2K14, we don’t have any updates for the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 versions of those games. Simply place them in your NBA 2K10 saves folder, and load them as necessary. I believe that all of the updates are accounted for, dating back to the first two in October 2009. In addition to the final update from May 7th 2010, you can find older updates under the dropdown menu above the Download button. You can find the official rosters for NBA 2K10 PC here. In that spirit, I’ve uploaded the official rosters for the PC version of NBA 2K10. It’s our goal to preserve files whenever we can, and to that end, we invite everyone to make use of our upload facilities to add any files from your archives. Too many files go missing over the years, be they unofficial mods or official updates. Of all the games in my collection, these disc woes are rather unique. And then, the same issues began occurring with that copy too. When I found a copy of NBA 2K10 going cheap on eBay, I snapped it up, and it appeared that all was well. Well, it kind of worked sometimes, if I was patient and lucky enough. I picked up a second copy of the game, not on a whim because I’d seen it at a bargain price, but because mine had simply stopped working. Sometimes I’ve doubled up on the same platform with alternate covers, repurchased games I once traded in, and have spare copies of a few games that I’ve stumbled across on sale at bargain prices.Īnd then, there’s NBA 2K10 PC. As you’d expect, it’s been much cheaper, too! As I’ve shown, my collection includes multiple versions of titles across the different platforms that I own. A working copy is therefore far more important to me than “complete in box”. My approach as a collector of basketball video games has been to acquire titles that I have an interest in playing, and of course covering here in Wayback Wednesday. This week, I’m reflecting on some strange issues I’ve had with my copies of NBA 2K10 PC. This is Wayback Wednesday, your midweek blast from the past! From retrospectives of basketball games and their interesting features, to republished articles and looking at NBA history through the lens of the virtual hardwood, Wednesdays at the NLSC are for going back in time.
