Despite the new problems formed with the second patch, is it still worth getting this game? Note: Yes, I will be downloading the second patch and I mostly play offline.

So let me get this straight, If I decline the patch it will sign me out of XBOX live meaning that I can never use the NBA TODAY feature again? Is there any way around this.

I have messed around with the sliders a good deal and honestly I still don't get what people see in this patch (not saying you're wrong, I just don't see it). I honestly feel like it made the game worse. Player control seems less tight than before and my guy will just randomly run in the wrong direction for no reason at all, field goal percentages and scoring are way too high (even with adjusted sliders), the CPU seems way more spazzy on offense and even worse on defense. I did set each teams "Runs Plays" slider to 80 and that seemed to help a lot with the spazzy offense, but I am still getting guys like Jarrett Jack (57 shot tendency) shooting 3 times as many shots a game as Andrea Bargnani (75 shot tendency) and this happened for 3 straight games. Also, what's up with the new "I'm gonna go for a steal and leave you a wide open lane" animation? That was happening so much that I had to turn On The Ball steals down to 10 to tone it down. I don't see how 2K thought that enhanced the game in any way shape or form.

The CPU seems to have reverted back to the old "quick pass through traffic to the cutter down low" trick again resulting in way too many points in the paint. Pick and roll defense is even more jacked up; if I go around the pick and stay with my man (to avoid the switch), my other defender covers the same guy as me, leading to the cut down low, quick points issue again. On defense the CPU also gives up way too many open baskets down low and never really seems to adjust or do anything about it. I just don't get why 2K felt the need to jack with the game. It was great after the 2nd patch, my FG percentages were spot on as was my scoring too and I was having some awesome games; I honestly could not put the game down, now I'm almost ready to move on to something else. I simply don't feel any amount of sliders can fix the issues with the game now, and that is sad because I was LOVING it prior to this....

Playing against cheesers online is hilarious now... none of their cheap tactics work anymore. They all seem to quit once I get a 10+ point lead on then and I'm holding the Kobe spammers to like 2-17 shooting

Problem is I'm still having trouble getting into ranked matches so I haven't been able to play as much online as I want to.

Cheesing doesn't seem as bad, but is still prevalent. I played someone who only drove baseline all game long. It's hard to stop on a regular basis. I stopped most, but it's hard to eliminate it all together.

that is correct. i don't think there is a work around. I declined the patch, the game loaded up, went to the menu, clicked on features, clicked on 2k share, and once I clicked on 2k share the download patch box popped up every time I tried to get on 2k share

this is what kills it for me. I only play quick games vs the cpu, and some have said they never saw the 3 pt glitch during that mode, others said they have. so who knows anymore. i'm just going to hold off on the patch for now. well done 2k.

My gut feeling is that there will be a 3rd patch. They can't leave the game like this, although the the patch has done a lot of good. With live actually improving (slightly) instead of getting worse every year, 2k should be thinking about 11 and knowing some new glitches b/c of the patch may possibly turn some customers away for 2k 11.

That was happening so much that I had to turn On The Ball steals down to 10 to keep this happening so much. I don't see how 2K thought that enhanced the game in any way shape or form.

Horray, thank you man, I knew I was not the only person seeing this, they have completely killed the realism of the CPU, it is definitley back to 2k9 status, and I am damn near getting rid of the game now, I spent all that time praising how the CPU played and 2k just killed it, the CPU rushes into everything, I dont see what these other posters are talking about, this patch made the CPU play worse, matter of fact, it killed every single thing that made the CPU play realistic, no more midrange jumpers, no more pick and rolls, no more jumpers out the triple threat, nothing, only thing they did was make bigs do more down low in the post.


I am soooooooooo fustraited at this, when the rest of the OSers notice this, 2k will have a sever backlash because the way the CPU played was probally the biggest plus about the game, without that, this game has shot down to average, smh, better than the comp still, but no longer a great game.

I think you can still play quick games without downloading the patch, my HUGE issue is being able to play NBA Today games and you must be logged into XBOX live to do so. I'm a huge 2k fan but this is awful. I like the game post patch # 1 and the majority seem to be saying this patch is screwy. I guess I'll just wait and hope like you said that a third patch comes out.

Well I'm getting the game, and I am wondering if there's any way to download the patch before this one. Is that possible?

No, once a new patch comes out it updates the game to the latest patch. I wish (hope) that in future console generations we are given the opportunity to "rollback" patches.

The game is definately worth it. The only issue I have with the game is the 3pt shooting, and that can be overlooked if you have enough fortitude.

Gotta agree 100% with everything you said, I honestly don't know what they were thinking....the game was near perfect before this patch. Here's hoping that maybe a 4th patch to address the 3pt issue comes out and reverts the game back to how the 2nd patch made it play....I'm getting dizzy talking about all of these patches, lol.

Okay, thanks. I can live with that issue. Can't wait to get this. Hopefully I won't be disappointed.

Re: NBA 2K10 Patch #2 Available For 360 & PS3, Post Impressions Here

Jeez the game is playing perfect for me...again I can't stress this enough but try the game with default sliders!! The very first thing pared noticed when the game came out was that when you mess with the sliders too much it messes something else up...so with this new patch the old sliders will definately alter how the players play!!

I'm going to take pics of the final stats and show you guys that I don't have ridiculous shooting percentages...I don't play association so the 3pnt bigman is a non issue with me when I only play nba today games......

Re: NBA 2K10 Patch #2 Available For 360 & PS3, Post Impressions Here

Ya'll got me terrified of this patch. I mostly play My Player. I'm not DLing it until I hear something more encouraging. It's not perfect the way it is now, but I'm having a lot of fun. These new issues seem to be a step back towards the release version, which I was not a fan of at all.
