Look at this:
http://www.direct2drive.com/patches/
That's a list of every patch that's come out for direct2drive games, because regular patches simply don't work with them, and aren't designed to. If this is 2k's fault, then it's also the fault of just about every game developer who puts their games on D2D.
That page, BTW, is where you'll find the D2D patch when it comes out.
