Dakkon or anyone else,

Do you know if they fixed bobby brown's(SAC) chin in the roster update?

They didn't fix him, they just gave him a new face that doesn't have the yellow on the chin. It's a completely new random face for him and doesn't look anything like the face they had before.

SAME SCRIPTED GAME. Nothing changed gameplay wise. Played a few games Knicks vs Nets and the game played great. Thought they really did something with this patch and thought to myself, "Wait lets see how it compares with a high ranked team vs a low ranked team". As expect the game fell apart. While my opponent , on EVERY possession took all his players out of position I could not capitalize on the open looks, or rarely could I while those Rockets

He had Yao Ming miss timing blocks all out of position just pressing block with NO CONSIDERATION of timing it and Yao gets a grand total of ZERO personal fouls on the game. NONE.

As usaul the game found , better yet, invented ways to screw the lesser team. Like a wise man said "mm mmm mmm Morr Morrrrr Morrrrph". I just hope that sliders can help this game now with the patch. It does seem a bit more 2K8 with stock sliders than though

Awesome to see ya TO!

A couple notes I want to add on.

Morphing/Clipping
There is still the morphing. It's less subtle, a nice attempt to hide it. I played online game against Rockets last night and the following things happened against me because my opponent was "better".

1. Run around with McGrady and quick pass to Ming/Landry for a layup attempt. Darko Milicic/Marc Gasol jump and "attempt" to block ball, but Ming/Landry was better and managed to push ball through their hand.

2. Rockets players get back on D, with only Ming left to attempt rebound. Boxed out by one of my bigs, he manages to leap 30" in the air and grab the ball over and past Gasol/Milicic's head...

3. Read "defended jumpshots" for next one

Defended jumpshots
Don't work, plain and simple. The kid (13 year old talking major s***) was draining long 2s/3s after bringing ball up with Barry over Gay/Ross! I swear to God! that Gay should have had anywhere between 5-10 blocks but again, the kid outplayed me and managed to shot through my hand...

Point in Paint
Using the paint, he scored like 87% of point in Paint. I think he score like 70 and had 56 in paint and rest off 3s. No fts, nothing. Ming had a great game, going 10/13. The 3 misses were me being lucky and his hooks hitting off back of rim..

Not sure if it was mentioned already but....

They fixed some of the grading when you play 5 on 5 online.

Before the patch, I would get irritated that I would get docked for trying to help out on defense, or another persons man would get an offensive rebound.

That is no longer the case. If you help out, and go to defend another person's man and he scores, it doesn't count against you. Only the person who is suppose to be guarding him.

This may not be a big deal to some. But for me, I would get extremely agitated over it.

I'd be playing with people who are shooting every chance they get, so I'd never get to do anything offensively to earn a good grade. Then on defense I help out because people are leaving their men wide open or letting them get right to the rim, and because I'm around when the man scores, I'm constantly getting docked because of it. So I get left with a low grade only because I'm being active and being a good teammate.

Pissed me off man. Glad they fixed it.

To add to the Defended Jumpshots part...

I showed the kid the replay, slowly moving at like 1/2 speed and he laughed and said it's part of the game, that the designers wouldn't have put it in if it wasn't...

I love how they fixed Bosh and Calderon's jumpshots!

I'd say so. Much better.

I played two games, with 10 users in each. The game played smooth. Very playable now. No more slow down or "waiting for opponent" message popping up every 10 seconds.

The only thing is that there is still that half-second lag when you try to do something. Makes it very hard to guard people or stay with them with they don't have the ball and are constantly moving around.

But other than that. Much much improved. They also added a few different camera angles too which work well.

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

I'm guessing there's no camera flip for High camera still? At least I can play on 2k.

Thanks Dakkon. I'll take that over orange chin.

Its a lor smoother rarley any lag but the problems that were going before still happen a lot. Sometimes you join a Ranked team up and it will not find 9 other players in a span of 2 minutes. Other times when there are 10 people and the clock hits 0 it freezes and you can still shoot around but it is kinda liek th egame is waiting for someone with a bad connection to quit on there own. THe whole 34 second things happens still when the 34 second clock will go down and then reset it self. Sometimes when i was in the middle of games It would end on us saying that the network connection blah blah blah so then we cant finish the games. SO basically all they did was Add new Camera angles and lessened the lag but there is still some lag sometimes but not a lot. There still work to be done on 5 on 5

Re: NBA 2K9 Patch Released For 360/PS3, Impressions Here

Man, the game seems to really play hectic all of a sudden since the patch and I dont like it at all. Im in a game with Washington with only the strength sliders tweaked from what I had pre-patch and Ive already seen many instances where Haywood drove on defenders and took it to the rack, which is unbelievable to me. On a side note, when downloading the patch it doesnt effect my rosters or tendencies that Ive downloaded already and incorporated into my association does it?
