I know I'll get some criticism here, but I'm going to say these things anyways. First of all I think 2k really delivered with this patch. Anyone who liked this game in the first place I don't see how you cant like this game more now. It's just a more refined game and they corrected a ton of glaring issues out of the box to get this game to work the way it should have on release. The game is that much smoother and more accurate and even the spacing seems better. That said they still hit cutters all day if you don't defend against that.

I think this is an excellent game. I even went out and picked it back up again because i really liked it at first, but im regretting my decision already and realizing why I returned it. after playing live for months I just can't go back to this game... I just don't like it that much anymore. I dont know if its the skating or that the speed is just way overdone in this game, or the fact i cant do a simple crossover while standing still and the control is really not that finite at all. It's still basically run as fast as you can to the basket and throw lightnight passes and spin and hop step and glide, it's just not as fun or realistic. This game is weird because it has so many aspects and features to it that are so sim, there are also a ton of cool animations, but the way the game plays is very arcadelike.... There just are too many problems with the engine itself imo and 2k next year really needs to add a footplanting system and better control ... It's like 2k is caught in between here. This game is next gen in a lot of regards but is also behind the times in others. I traded in NCAA for this game and I'm wishing i hadnt spent more money again...

The on the fly subs glitch should be tell tale as well. Pre patch, the subs would reset if you pulled the otf sub screen up. Now, your sub choices should remain until the players actually enter the game.

Thanks a bunch dude. I just fired it up and played a few minutes. 2k camera has 0 lag thus far, free throws are fixed, and the subs are good to go. I just did a quick game against the Celtics while I used the Lakers and I had KG post up Pau and actually do a mid range fadeaway. Instead of backing me down for 10 seconds and doing a jumphook. This game is playing awesome right now through the first few quarters.

Do all cameras (specifically Drive cam) seem smoother offline?

Re: NBA 2K9 Post Patch Impressions

just had a crazy OT game against the rockets - down by 15 at the half because Yao was destroying me with second chance opportunities. The dude had 7 of his 16 rebounds on offense, and Scola had 3 other offensive rebounds. They had 17 second chance points, but even with that the Rockets had 44 points in the paint - 108 overall and shot 47% from the field.

The patch seems to be working wonders with a couple of slider edits from my previous set.

yeah a lot better...there's still some framerate issues when you inbounds the ball, but it's a lot better, especially after half court.

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

Just finished my first game and I have to say it's by far the most enjoyable game I've played since I got 2k9. I'm using nogsters sliders and tendencies with my own player ratings. The game just plays great now. "Feels" realistic. Much more cohesive and smooth. I was very surprised after reading how many negative reviews it has gotten already. Great job by 2k9 crew. Only complaint is it seems CAPs have to be reuploaded by their makers in order to be downloaded without that generic face setting. It doesnt fix pre-existing uploaded CAPs.

Edit: playing 2nd game....Postup is way too hard. Any suggestions for a work around?

I know I'll get some criticism here, but I'm going to say these things anyways....

As you can see man....just to put it frankly: no one really cares lol Alot of people here are happy with the improvements and just want to enjoy the game. Some arent. Thats fine! But there is no need to go into (yet another) long spill about how you feel about the game again. We have all read it repeated times between the two forums. I dont know what the intent of your post was supposed to be, but fyi man, were good....we gotcha....dont feel like you have to validate your choice with an explanation in every thread.

PS3 Owners: I just popped in the game and was prompted to download patch 1.10. I haven't play this game in well over a month and I'm not sure if this is the patch or a prior update. Does anyone know? Thanks for the help.

So what you are saying is you felt the need to respond, because you're a dick? Again man you take things out of context and for whatever reason take things too personally. i'm sorry if i hurt your game. lol. as you can see i don't really care either. you're a dick and that much is pretty obvious. lol.

PS3 patch sounds like it's out. Nice! Can't wait to get a game in when I get home.

How did you get that from the posts here? Dude said it was the first patch which was the one that was released a few days after the game came out which I believe had something to do with the PAL version.
