Re: NBA 2K10 PC thread

I got it today. Had to really play with the settings to get the framerate decent. Ended up with Med textures and low on things like the stadium and crowd. I'm now running 60FPS steady on both the 2k and Drive Cam. At first I had turned off the sidelines, but that was too barren. Turned it back on and didn't hurt. I'm really enjoying it! 42" Dynex and my 360 controller, can't go wrong. I'm loving all of the Presentation elements. Gotta start my Association tonight. Come on with the patch 2k!

You will notice all the glaring issues(as well as no online) soon enough. Gameplay becomes unplayable at times with no contact in the paint/double team glitch which leaves the wing players WIDE open/CPU reducing 2 Timeouts when only 1 is called/CPU lead pass in the paint/CPU crazy Alley-Oop/etc etc) These are all fixed in the patch.

At least you got the game at the right time because the patch is coming soon(hopefully without the Big Men shooting 3's glitch).

GENERAL

- Improved game performance in all arenas and camera angles.

- Corrected a framerate issue that was causing noticeable slowdown in the paint in specific arenas.

- Corrected a framerate issue that was causing noticeable slowdown during NBA D-League games.

- Fixed an issue (online and offline) where Coach Settings were not properly saving to the user’s Settings file.

- Addressed an issue where the user would enter into a game where there would either be no crowd present or the opposing team would not appear on the court.

- Fixed an issue where users would get NBA Blacktop rules (no intentional fouls, no 3-in-the-key, etc.) turned on when attempting to play a Quick Game.

- In-game saves should now load up correctly in the Playoffs game mode.

- Users are now able to assign any jersey number to a player, on any team, when playing outside of The Association game mode.

- Games played in the NBA D-League should now have appropriate sized crowds. (Note: this change will not be reflected in existing Associations and My Player careers.)

- Fixed a slowdown issue during stoppages of play with created teams.

- Made a change to where the value for headband colors is stored at. These changes can now be made through Living Roster releases once the patch is released. If you see any discrepancies, make sure and let the 2K Insider know!



GAMEPLAY

- Tuned shooting percentages across the board, particularly (points) in the paint where more shots are now initiated with contact.

- Fixed a soft hang on an inbound where the inbounding player would miss the ball handoff from the referee.

- Addressed issues in defensive rotations that didn’t function as intended in various situations, with particular attention to both post double team situations as well as in pick-and-roll situations.

- Lead passes into the paint will now result in more tipped/deflected passes as the interior defense is now more aware of these types of passes.

- Assists should now only be credited to the passer at appropriate times.

- Only 1 timeout is deducted from the total when the CPU calls a timeout for the user.

- The CPU should no longer pass the ball to a teammate when the recipient has a foot out of bounds.

- Bad passes should be less inaccurate now. They still happen with similar frequency, but some passes can be recovered now.

- CPU players now have better logic behind their turbo energy management (which will keep them fresher for key moments in the game).

- CPU players should now be more aware of being called for 3 second violations.

- Defensive assist is now turned off when the ball is not in play.

- Players with unique free throw stances (ex., Paul Pierce) will no longer slide into position to shoot the free throw.

- Point Guards should no longer end up out of bounds during baseline inbounds coming out of a timeout or dead ball.

- Fixed a case where the PG would run in a circle (in anticipation of receiving the ball) in the backcourt during transitions.

- Players should no longer get stuck in the post in a single player hold-ball animation (often leading to a 24-second violation) when trying to drive to the basket.

- Fixed an issue where the user was unable to give certain players their player-specific animation packages.

- Fixed an issue with a baseline layup where opposing defenders weren’t able to create contact when the animation played out.

- Addressed a specific dunk animation that would sometimes not result in a made basket despite a successful dunk.

- The user should now notice more over-the-back calls on rebounds when the boxed out player attempts a rebound.

- A good number of other changes aimed towards increasing user satisfaction have also been made in this release. These will be apparent as you play the game (ex. The referee will now utilize a bounce pass rather than a chest pass when passing the ball to the shooter during free throw situations, plays will now start quicker when the user manually calls a play, etc.).

- Removed the spotlights for online play only to improve performance during stoppages of play.

- Corrected an issue with the My Player Pick-Up games that would sometimes cause games to diverge upon initiation.

- Fixed an issue where games in online leagues would diverge if users made changes to the default roster.

- Addressed an issue where completed ranked games would sometimes not report the results to the server.

- Fixed an issue where the number of players the user had sent down to their D-League affiliate wasn’t getting reset despite recalling players back to their NBA team.

2nd patch fixes. The PC patch will be a combination of the two so it will be huge. The game will be awesome once the patch arrives!

Re: NBA 2K10 PC thread

Has there been any word when the PC patch is coming out??? I just got it for PC so I am kinda behind on the talk.

Re: NBA 2K10 PC thread

Supposed to be before the end of Feb.

I gotta say, 2k has been HORRIBLE in support of the pc....and that's the reason I'm not picking up MLB 2k10.

Re: NBA 2K10 PC thread

I downloaded the newest official roster update the other day and noticed a few things:

1. The game doesn't lag any more. I play on my laptop so I can't crank up the settings. Before, I couldn't play with sideline characters on or it would be so choppy it would be unplayable. Now, it's running smoother with sideline characters than it was before without. I still can't run it at the highest resolution settings, but this is due to my crappy video card. It just plays smoother.

2. With un-edited rosters, I have not noticed the drive and kick-out issue at all. The CPU runs the break more effectively and attempts to finish at the rim. Again, I have not edited any tendencies.

3. The CPU has been playing smarter and more effectively in the post but also more fouls are being called and there is more contact in the paint.

I had been playing with the 12-18 roster update that I was editing until I accidentally saved over it. Is it possible that they put "patches" into the roster updates? I'm not talking about the official patch because I know it's not out yet, but small changes to the code to tweak these issues? If not, why would it have made these differences, which are very noticeable in a very good way?

At least 2k share and NBA Today/Living Rosters work

Re: NBA 2K10 PC thread

With the newest rosters I have there is no longer player salaries on the player card. I can not see them any more. Any work around?

Re: NBA 2K10 PC thread

Just noticed that one of the Roster Update corrected the Camera option in My Player Mode. Now the camera angle that you've adjusted is automatically saved for the next games.

Before I had to pause the game and adjust the camera angle before each game in My Player mode, but now it saves.

Re: NBA 2K10 PC thread

Is anybody having problems with the game crashing? I've had this happen in the 1st quarter, the 4th quarter, during trades, etc. I've read that it could be a resolution issue (not supporting 16:10) or that the sound is affecting the game. I've tried some of the methods to fix the issue but I still get it.

Anybody find a solid work around to this problem? Should I assume it will be fixed in the (never coming) patch?

Re: NBA 2K10 PC thread

FYI, going by Ron's word, the patch will be out this week.

He didn't say it would be out this week, he put the responsibility of the patch's release on QA, which he has done the entire time. He has no control over when QA releases it. I hope it comes out this week, but I won't count on it until I see it.

Sorry to be pessimistic, but it's been a long time coming for this patch and I've seen many posters on multiple sites say it would be out on a certain date based off their interpretation of Ron's tweets. None have panned out yet.

Well, for more evidence/proof:

RT @sohofx@Ronnie2K i hope they didnt started makeing it today...->If they did, it'd be about 6 weeks away. That isn't the case though.
3:41 PM Feb 1st via web

http://twitter.com/Ronnie2K/status/8519127454

If its not released this week, next week will be 5 weeks since Ron made that Tweet(Feb 1st). The way Ron worded that Tweet, it seemed like it was coming in a couple of weeks. 5 weeks is pretty much the same as 6 weeks IMO or else why did he write it like that?

He even says "That isn't the case though" to reassure us/stand firm in his position.

Re: NBA 2K10 PC thread

My game had been running great until this afternoon where i get stuck in a loop of the pre game sequence and all i can see are two point guards and the refs. Please help me.
