Guys listen up. I saw a couple posts with the best info besides the patch. The Help D slider is backwards for, sure put it on 0. You will see cpu guys run over to help quickly, if you post up on one side you will see defenders paying much more attention to the ballhandler.

Also another poster in the slider section said to to switch the cpu team playbook to all at the team select screen and I will tell you the stars for opposing team will be used. They post garnet, run ray around sceens, post and look for paul p. This game is the shizz now.

Early impressions on the PS3

Game feels 'tighter'.

Pace seems slower.

Blocking has defintely been changed.

Played only a quarter...but saw the CPU ISO Paul Pierce twice for mid range J's...nice

Don't see any change to help d yet...

Re: PS3 patch is up...

Hahhaha...just heard clerk kellog say on the cpu's mid range game... "but they're not getting any points in the paint...jumpers can be fickle, they need to establish an inside game".




The mid range game is much better.

Players definitely run to their spots in called plays faster.

Re: PS3 patch is up...

Wow...there is some serious sliding going on now.

D-Fish just got locked in a weird animation and slid about 2 metres...i'm wacthing the replay now and his feet don't move at all / he sliders around a screen like he's on rollerskates.

Had never noticed this much sliding before?

Gameplay feels much better...the sliding is weird though.

Re: PS3 patch is up...

PITP are definitely much better / point guard play is much more realstic...yet to see a back door cut on default sliders / pro.

assist bug still there...farmar passed to kobe who was posting up.

kobe backed down...stopped..pump faked...moved off and lay up around prince...

farmar got the 'assist'

Have they fixed the "player download" bug (head reset to standards valors when you download it)? My Dream Team '92 is waiting ...

2k Cam is way to high for team-up. 2k Cam offline still stutters after the autoflip and still does that quick 360 rotation after the tipoff which basically doesnt allow you to move for about 2 sec till the camera gets set.

Re: NBA 2K9 Patch Released For PS3, Impressions Here

Thanks for the early impressions Court_vision. I'm definitely interested in hearing more when you've spent more time with the game.

I'm thinking of finally getting 2k9 depending on how this patch works.

Re: NBA 2K9 Patch Released For 360, Impressions Here

from a simmed games standpoint...they have fixed the simmed team scoring...
the problem with that however is...i now have to redo the coach profiles and raise the scale back up to default style to get the ppg up to realistic averages.
thats fine and all. but i and im sure the many of u that use the O.S outsider rosters were satisfied with how they played as they were.
raising most teams "game tempo" to a higher scale means the teams will play at a faster perhaps more "arcadey" pace.
the change will be subtle though so it shoudnt be too much of a worry.
i need the simmed stats to be on point so i have to do it.
pity they didnt fix the low rebound averages while they were at it though. .

agreed. in my opinion it's the blocked shot / rebound glitch. when you block a shot, and get the board after, it's not counted as a rebound for either the offense or defense. the announcer's even say "so and so grabs the board." in my opionion, this would raise the rebounds per game for each team at least by 3 or 4 depending on the number of blocks you get.

Honestly, I saw no difference on the court whatsoever.

I was holding out hope, that the patch would make a significant difference to on court gameplay before even thinking about starting a association, but I didnt notice anything at all.

I wish I had the hardware to share the CPUs shot chart with all of you. It was disgusting. Youve all had the game long enough to guess what it was like though.

Ive had the game going on 3 weeks now, and I have given it more then a fair shot. I just do not like it, and am now at a point where I cant even look at the box without feelings of disgust and rage. To hell with that. It's not staying on my shelf one more day.

Re: NBA 2K9 Patch Released For PS3, Impressions Here

im loving the shot blocking..in the 1 game i played the cpu only went back door once. post back down seems over done i had trouble backing down haslem with bynum..no more fade away 3s (thank god)..not every open shot was made quite a few misses. cpu takes more mid range shots.. overall the game feels much better. i also saw some new defensive animations

Re: NBA 2K9 Patch Released For 360, Impressions Here

im seeing a couple of new offensive and defensive animations....im seeing alot of things lol

I might have a magic disk. I find it hard to believe people dont see a change in gameplay....unless they have a set of sliders equivalent to what the update did...

I've noticed new layup animations..I must have a magic disk too
