NBA 2K12 News Post


The NBA 2K12 patch 1.04 will arrive within the next 24 hours, for 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles.

Below are the full details for NBA 2K12 Patch v1.04 with NBA 2K12 iOS patch notes, at the bottom.

ONLINE
  • Fixed an issue that would cause large-user Team-Up games to hang at halftime if all users watched the halftime show in-full.
  • Addressed an issue that would lead to a disconnect in subsequent games when one or more users modified their playbook for the current game.
  • A number of Association: Online optimizations were made to greatly minimize disconnects.
  • Additionally, general optimization improvements were made in order to improve the overall online experience.
GENERAL
  • The ‘Back to Back to Back’ and ‘My All-Star’ trophies/achievements should now unlock under the proper conditions.
  • Previously unlocked NBA’s Greatest games and ‘Gift with Purchase’ Kings/Warriors teams will now remain unlocked after playing and exiting the Association/My Player game modes.
  • Fixed an issue where the roster would become corrupt when attempting to enter the ‘Legends Showcase’ with unsaved roster changes.
  • Fixed a rare issue that would cause the game to hang when attempting to skip the pre-game presentation in Season and Playoff modes.
  • Corrected an issue where players could become duplicated after editing a Created Team.
  • “PIPPEN” dunk package has been updated so that it can be re-assigned to Pippen when switched off of him.
  • Addressed issue where Created Players are assigned Cold Zones for all shot locations. This change applies for all generated players in Association/My Player modes as well.
  • The Adidas Zig Pro Future and ZigEncore shoes should now have the correct shoe image associated with them.
GAMEPLAY
  • Increased the velocity of lob passes into the post so they are less vulnerable to tips and steals.
  • Reduced steal success when the defender attempts a steal from behind the ballhandler.
  • Tuned player lunges on steal attempts such that they don’t cover an unrealistic amount of ground.
  • Tuned AI passes from the wing down into the post. The AI is now smarter during this situation, specifically where the perimeter defender is sagging off the ballhandler in anticipation of this pass.
  • Corrected an issue where during online gameplay, a shot ball would ‘re-launch’ even after it had been blocked.
  • Tuned AI playcalling during late-game situations so that they initiate plays faster.
  • Fixed an issue where the CPU ballhandler would take too long to pass (or in some cases, not pass the ball at all) when running a play in My Player.
  • Addressed an issue where the user would inadvertently commit an intentional foul with a defender when attempting to contest a shot with his hands up.
  • Tuned animation selection that would cause a player to lose forward momentum when attempting a Swat Block.
  • Addressed a specific case where attempting a pass fake would cause the pass to be thrown.
  • 8-second violations will no longer be called when the ball is poked loose and enters the backcourt.
  • Training Camp: Triple Threat drill score requirements lowered in order to make it a little easier to complete the drill.
  • Legends Showcase: Fixed a hang that would occur when the AI would recover a loose ball by diving for the ball and then sitting idle with it.
  • Legends Showcase: Addressed a case where players who did not meet the requirements were able to throw a flashy pass.
MY PLAYER
  • Corrected an issue where the game would hang after winning the NBA Finals in My Player mode.
  • Trading logic has been greatly improved in this mode. In particular, your team’s GM will no longer overhaul the roster once you join the team.
  • Your team’s GM will now do a better job of acquiring one of your recommended players when he comes to you asking for potential trade targets. Be careful what you ask for!
  • Fixed an issue where both teams in a game would be using the wrong playbooks on occasion.
  • A few select season-long milestones (e.g. Shoot 85% or better from the free throw line) should now properly unlock when the prerequisite conditions are met.
  • The camera should now properly follow the action in your Signature Shoe Commercial.
THE ASSOCIATION
  • A number of trade logic improvements have been made for this experience (these apply to Association: Online as well).
  • Addressed the CPU lineup building / player role allocation such that players no longer become unnecessarily upset with the direction of their respective teams.
  • New coaching staff is now generated when you get many years into the mode. This will result in sufficiently skilled coaches available to be hired.

Im hoping they fixed the AI defensive issues. I should be able to take Oden of the dribble with jamal crawford. Waiting and wishing!!
 
# 62 jersez @ 12/13/11 07:17 PM
A lot of overreactions. I was hoping ball physics and the collision system would be fixed, but I think they are still working on those, and we have to wait to see how these improvements affect the game. This is the first big patch, we still have more to go.

Thanks to anyone who'll answer.
for the gameplay effects no. as for the trading logic and such im not quite sure

They didnt do anything to address the Defense?

Joke!
 
# 65 jerseyballer7 @ 12/13/11 07:19 PM
Not too impressed with the notes but if the game play improves enough then I'll be okay with it. However regardless of improvement or not, 2k won't be getting my money next year or at all if this is the direction of patients as a customer we have to deal with in order to enjoy a game that should of been playable from the start.
 
# 66 Gramps91 @ 12/13/11 07:20 PM
this sounds pretty great to me. The major thing I wanted was better trade logic. so I'm happy.

Has 2K confirmed whether another patch is coming or not? I'm asking because history shows that no more patches come after the "big" patch. It was the same thing in NBA 2K11, 2K10, College Hoops 2K8, and those are just the recent 2K basketball games that comes to mind. There comes a point where they just decide to write off the current version in the history books and focus all of their attention on the next version.

Maybe 2k should just skip 2k13 and instead keep fixing the hell out of the current game.
 
# 70 broadrivr @ 12/13/11 07:28 PM
Looks promising to me, especially the part about lob passes and tuning down the lunges when going for steals. Are u guys really having your shots blocked by PGs that much?? I'm still yet to see a small pg block a big man on this game. Forget Shaq, if I got Kobe driving the lane and Steve Nash is there he's getting smashed on lol. Guess that's just me though

Shesh you guys haven't played with the patch and your complaining. Why dont you wait until the patch is available for download to complain because their might have been some under the hood fixes?

Maybe 2k should just quit.

Its not really that big of a deal but there will be no online shot feedback?
 
# 75 m1ke_nyc @ 12/13/11 07:31 PM
they missed a MAJOR bug, in my player when you perform one of the hesitation cross overs your player teleports back to his original starting point, how was this not included ?

They have always released multiple patches, and if I remember correctly 2k11 had a lot of patches they didn't just have one. We have already gotten three maybe including this one. Mos1ted I agree with some of the stuff you say, and you do contribute to the os community but dude your so negative. I'm not saying I'm right to assume their will be more patches, but its not right to assume this is it either, based off the their history I would believe there will be more patches. And if they don't fix the ball physics or collision system and the speed factor after this patch, then I will not be buying a 2k13.

I really don't understand, this patch sounds great to me. people need to stop b*tching.

patch does sound good, but when your player teleports backwards due to a cross over I think thats justifiable to be a little concerned when its not addressed.
 
# 80 DutchMastah7 @ 12/13/11 07:39 PM
I'm digging what's been addressed. To be completely honest, I haven't had too many gripes with this game, gameplay-wise.

Sure there's a few things that irritate me. The speed thing being probably the main thing, but overall I'm happy with this patch. Hopefully we get lucky and get another one, because any improvements they can make are more than welcome of course.

If not, then I'm sure when the update hits tomorrow, I'll see some improvements that make this game just that much better. I think I'm definitely in the minority, but I just think this is a great game. Maybe not as "great" as 2K11, or whatever you guys think, but it's still a really, really good game. Some of you have just been spoiled.
