Perfect!! Please, 2k do NOT listen to the masses who say it's broken.

Man people use the "broken" term so loosely. Anything that doesn't work 100% as we want is apparently broken. Layups might need a little adjustment but it's far from broken. Broken would be layup animations not triggering when they are suppose to or players missing every layup.

I do think layup balancing is something that we won't ever 100% agree about. It's one of the things I hate when it comes to "sim" arguments because we all have different perceptions about what is sim and realistic. If they put layup success too high then people will be complaining about layups being automatic, which was an issue when the Live demo dropped and too many contested layups and inside shots were going in.

I'd be cool with them adjusting layups a TINY bit, maybe adjust what qualifies as contested, but, IMO, it's far from "broken" or a glaring issue that ruins the experience. What I like about the game from my experience is that it rewards taking good shots vs bad shots. Now you will still miss open jumpers from time to time and hit heavily contested jumpshot (it happens in real life) but generally speaking you want to play smart basketball and make smart decisions. If it gets too easy to score inside then all you will have to do is pound the paint all game long.

I'm playing a game now and the CPU just pulled Markieff Morris 3 minutes into the game after he picked up his 2nd foul.

I'm not certain if it was like this before the patch, but I don't think so because I played a game against the Nets pre-patch and RHJ fouled out at the end of the 3rd Quarter.

edit: the CPU also called a timeout after I opened the game with a 14-4 run.

Personally, I think it's high time they've fixed the lack of fouls in sim games. This problem is too old and it is an integral part of the game. There's no way an NBA game should end with one team having 8 total fouls and the other team having 11.

I can confirm that the Framerate drop issue is still not fixed. SMH

Has it improved at all?

The game has only been out for 4 days and still hasn't had it's "Official" release yet so no surprise that this issue, and others, haven't been fixed yet. I wasn't even expecting another patch at this point. At least it shows that the team is looking to address issue is soon as they can.

Are the issues fixed by this patch specific to the consoles? I haven't seen any patch on Steam, or even an optional beta...

This is painful to post. Misses happen though. They hurt but they happen.


The longer I play the more I enjoy the gameplay. I have art issues but nothing major. This is a great effort.

A quote from Beluba from another thread:



Apparently we're not supposed to be penalised for timing, so why are so many people missing so many easy layups?

Did you not read that last sentence?

Both. This is ridiculous because its the main issue in the game. The game is pretty unplayable after the framerate drop. They should have sorted this out before anything else. Who wants to play a game where it's choppy the whole time?

Playing on rotation substitutions or fatigue substitutions settings?

1. Money on no MyLeague/GM stuff being fixed.

2. Money on patch being 99% about prevention and restoration of deleted MyPlayers (got to get people buying VC as quick as possible)

Yep, cant imagine this patch actually fixes actual broke game modes as MyGM and MyLeague. I cant imagine those fixes happening that quickly, if so thats great, but I would bet everyhting I have which isnt much that its exactly what you stated.

I think I've seen more fouls called in this game than any other basketball game Ive played in the past. I've been seeing a lot of fouls in the paint and on drives. In some cases I'd say they are soft fouls, and in one case the announcers seemed to acknowledge there wasn't a lot of contact, but it helps teach you not to go for dumb blocks or reaches.

What difficulty are you playing on because I'm seeing plenty of fouls on SS default?

This was the 3 games that I played this weekend:

Agreed 100 percent. The lack of fouls I think is really only a critique if he means non-reaching, non-shooting fouls due to just basic blocking fouls between two players when reaching (there are illegal screen fouls plenty as well).

Whichever one is on by default.
