My game is fine and set, but I really want 2k to fix 5on5. It is a nice change from association and it's just fun...even if you have a few ballhogs it can be fun just trying to get a A+ by doing everything else but score.

At ranked match you should be able to play against people from the same overall ranking, like you can at player's match. In that way the ranking is also more reliable. Now, i come most of the time against people who far to good for me, that's no fun for me and also it isn't fun for the better player. Greetz

EDIT: Thanks to Pared for assembling this list from all of the issues in this thread. I will update it as more things are added. This way the 2K dev team doesn't have to sift through the whole thread to get this info.

Patch issues that we would like to see fixed:

**VERY IMPORTANT**

-This layup (now known as the "Ghost Layup"):
The offensive player sometimes starts this layup just inside of the free throw line, and then magically glides through any defenders that are trying to foul him or block his shot. There is no stopping this layup because the game somehow isn't registering the "contact" being made with the offensive player by the defender. Also that layup almost never misses (I'm not sure if I have ever seen it miss actually).

-Shooting %'s must be lowered. Too many contested shots go in even with tight defense. If it's a ratings thing, fix the ratings!

-Shooting tendencies are BROKEN (especially for scoring guards), there are way too many scrubs taking the bulk of the shots that the star players should be getting.

-Pass accuracy. Way too many pinpoint passes by guys. Should be a bit more variety. At default players can run one direction and make a cross court pass with perfect efficiency, regardless of the ratings.

-Edit Prospect appearances. Being able to edit everything else is great. However, we should be able to edit what they look like. This takes away from the overall feel. Also, please do not use retired player faces for these prospects!

-Dribble, hopstep, extra dribble that is not called as a travel. Add to this the walk from a turn around jump shot in the post.

-The CPU scores way too many points off of quick cuts/passes (and in some instances alley-oops) to the basket. This leads to over-inflated points in the paint stats.

Credit: RubenDouglas for this info on the above mentioned problem:



-On-the-fly substitutions. Currently, if you make a change using the d-pad, confirm, then go back in to add to it all your changes are reset. They need to stay until the next whistle.

-An option to force the CPU to substitute by ROTATION and not by fatigue.

-The CPU in general needs to take more mid-range jumpshots.

-After a missed basket by the post player the guard ALWAYS is guarding the post player after that. Mismatch defensive switches happen far too often, e.g. guards checking a PF or Center, or vice versa..

-2k Camera angle framerate is not consistent with others. Also, if that gets fixed, it would be nice if it could be added online.

-lag when shooting the first FT that throws your timing off during online play. This was the SAME exact issue from last year that was patched up and it's back again.

-Clipping between objects (players, hoop, backboard and ball). As it is now, too many things go THROUGH each other, resulting in missed blocks, steals and other aspects of collision detection. At least clean it up a bit!

-On the fly subs show a players position in the FLS column instead of how many fouls they have. Fouls are very important in close games.

-Zone usage slider in coach settings. Seems as if it is broken or not as effective as it should be.

-Defense in the paint needs to be WAY more physical. In general, CPU defenders in the paint need to be more active and strong. There needs to be more bodying up. Too many times a CPU big man will flash to the paint and stand there for a second with a defender guarding him who doesn't lay a body on him. From that point, if he gets the ball, its an easy two points when the shot/layup could have been made way tougher if the defender just put a body on him. I think this is a HUGE issue that hasn't been talked about enough.

-In Association mode use pictures of the created players/rookies face, or NO PICTURE AT ALL. Please get rid of using retired players faces instead the rookie's cyber face. Some peoples Association, in their second season, have multiple pictures of Kerry Kittles, Juwan Howard, and Travis Best on different teams.

-3 second calls seem to take longer than 3 seconds.

-The dribble, hop step, extra dribble that is not called as a travel

**WOULD BE NICE**

-Orange Circle during replay mode: Get rid of it like last year using the two bumpers (L1 and R1 on PS3)

- on a charging call, the PA announcer says they are over the limit

- replays happening at the wrong moments. Derrick Rose could be on the bench, and they will talk about his passing. They will talk about someone scoring a lot of points after they just missed their last 5 shots. Someone will get their shot blocked out of bounds, then they talk about how dominant in the paint they are...just annoys me a little.

- Framerate issues during FTs, replays/highlights, and the far away camera right before a quarter starts.

-Some elements of some teams courts (ie: ATT sign on the Spurs court, and similair logos on other courts) are blurry beyond sense and reason. It really detracts from what otherwise is a very nice game graphically.

-PA announcer saying the team is in the penalty after charging fouls

It is also very very very necessary that every cpu team should at least triple the amount of on ball picks that we see so far. B4 you tell me im wrong i just want you guys to sit and watch a real nba game and you will be blown away with the amount of on ball picks every single team sets on a given half court set!! this alone would take down the assist numbers because it creates open mid range shot opportunities off the dribble

Simballer, can we get an update on the status of the patch?

thanks

Re: If There Is A Patch For NBA 2K9, Then These Things Need To Be In It!

There needs to be a fix for the Fantasy Draft on the PS3. Whenever I tried to do one the game freezes just prior to the first game.

Re: If There Is A Patch For NBA 2K9, Then These Things Need To Be In It!

Why not a laddercompetition. You just play against a guy or girl who is online and stand closest in the ranking to you. And who wins get higher in the laddercompetition, the other guy/girl get lower in the competition. So you get a ranking that is right, that is now not the case. Greetz

Re: If There Is A Patch For NBA 2K9, Then These Things Need To Be In It!

Some of the things I have read in this thread are described as "issues" but in fact are part of the design...

example... "the far away camera right before a quarter starts" in post #7 which doesn't need fixing and isn't an issue, it's a designed feature of the presentation.

Re: If There Is A Patch For NBA 2K9, Then These Things Need To Be In It!

Has there even been any news on when a patch is being released for these things?

Re: If There Is A Patch For NBA 2K9, Then These Things Need To Be In It!

I don't know if this has been mentioned but simulation scores in association seem to be high this year. Can this be patched? In my Bulls association, every team was averaging over 100 ppg. That is not realistic at all. Some teams are avg up to 121 ppg. i know there are teams who score a bunch of points but not every team should average 100 ppg. Have any of you noticed this as well? Once again I am sorry if this has been mentioned already.

Re: If There Is A Patch For NBA 2K9, Then These Things Need To Be In It!

Well, it's close to the time where we find out if/when a patch will be released. Last year we didn't hear anything until November 28th(or is that when the patch dropped?) I don't think that there will be a patch cuz 2k is ghost.

Re: If There Is A Patch For NBA 2K9, Then These Things Need To Be In It!

If there isn't a patch I will probably trade this title in... yes the animations are lifelike but it is simply too difficult to control when playing

wtf I can't get any development drills in association my xbox locks up every time, I pick the drill and the player then he asks me to proceed I say yes and then lockdown, disaaaster! I have the game installed on my xbox hard drive so I can't believe the game locks me up it's not a bad dvd it's the game, I'm in my second month in association in the first month the development drills went fine.
