Re: NBA 2K10 Patch #2 Available, Post Impressions Here (PS3)
I find it funny that online players are saying "screw association players." If I saw all the wonderful things in this patch that some people have invented in their heads, I would live with the 3 pt glitch. But I haven't. I've seen a decrease in the amount of passouts on drives. That's about it. How many of the people who are shouting about great defense are now using some of the suggestions in another topic about the right stick being set to absolute? Wouldn't that change your ability to evaluate the patch? I'm just asking if that might be why some people are claiming this huge defensive change.
The bottom line is that the three point glitch is big. Simmed games where big men literally take double digit three point shots between them can absolutely change the outcome of the game. I have the Spurs with Duncan and Jermain O'Neal with Shaq off the bench. Are you telling me that those three jacking up 10 or 12 three's isn't going to hurt their chances at winning? And to be told that if I just toss away my assocation that I've worked so hard on, 2 1/2 months after the game came out, is just ludicrous. That is just horrible customer service. I played NBA Live starting on the PC when it was a one on one game called Bird vs. Dr. J. Yes I'm showing my age here, but I want to illustrate that I was an avowed NBA Live supporter until 2008. That means almost 25 years, of which I probably purchased 18 or 19 of those years. It was not lightly that I decided to switch to 2k. Why did I switch? Because Live was catering to the arcade style crowd and 2k was catering to the sim style crowd. So when I'm told that my sim must be reset to correct a problem that shouldn't exist in the 1st place other than due to absolute sloppiness by the patch designers, then I'm a tad upset.
Part of me just says screw it, I'll go buy Raw vs. Smackdown and play that until MLB the Show comes out. For a company that is struggling to keep it's franchises alive (as in NHL 2k, MLB 2k), I find it mind boggling that they could put out a product that needs 2 patches and then still manage to screw up stuff each time a patch is put out.
So online people, enjoy your game. Those of us who are in the middle of long term associations are not nearly as pleased. I will definately be thinking twice about purchasing this game next year.
