Association: In-Progress Patch Items

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

What about dropping the ratings of the rookies that are in the draft classes? If I'm not mistaken, this is cause of most of the CPU AI logic problems.

Also, if Jordan overall rating is a 79 in his rookie year, then none of the rookies in the draft class should be higher than that. I can see a guy coming into the league with a rating no higher then 83 once every 4 or 5 years but for the most part, all the rookies in the draft classes should be a 79 or lower.

- Tuning down Homecourt advantage during the regular season as well as during the playoffs.

would this address the lack of very good / very bad team records?

thanks simballer, the list looks great.

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

I have a problem where, deep into Association (15 years or so), the stat engine just completely goes bonkers. People averaging 300 points per game and the like. Just totally throws everything off. Fine one year, and then for certain players the next year it just goes crazy.

Yeah, I hope this gets fix as well. I like to play deep into my Association, so I hope this get looked at.

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

Havent even started association mode yet. Waiting for it to be patched. What's the point of starting it when it's broken.

Same here. Association is broken. My player is broken. Everyone I know who purchased this game is just not playing it and waiting for a patch.

And yet 2K is incapable of either releasing a working game or providing realistic/reasonable communication regarding the patch.

This process is pretty pathetic, actually. It is making EA look good as they work on fixes for Fifa 11 bugs. Sad for consumers when video game developers are consistently competing against each other to see which side does worse patching up their newest trainwreck.

That's why I'm amazed how so many people are calling this the greatest sports game ever; when association is so off. I guess people don't play association that much

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

Any idea on when we might expect this patch?

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

I'm playing association and having a blast. Is it a little messed up? Sure. But, there's nothing that I can't get over. I mean, the road records are out of whack. Well whoop de freaking doo. Because it's pretty much even for all teams so, it all equals out in the end. What else? Injured player's get pissed when the don't get playing time. Oh well, turn player's roles off or trade their sorry ***es. Honestly, it's not that big of a deal to me. I'm sure it is to a lot of people but, I play games to have fun not to cry about every little thing that's doesn't mirror the actual NBA.

With that being said, I'm all for a patch and I can't wait for it to get here. However, I'd rather them take their time and put out a quality patch than to rush one out and have something else be messed up. But then again I have this trait called patience. I know most of todays youth has no ****ing clue what that is but, oh hell well. They'll figure it out one day.

I'd like to know the answer to this but I'd much rather they just work away on the patch and get it done as problem-free as possible. If they set a firm or semi-firm date for the patch, they'll end up rushing things and not getting the fixes done properly, which I don't want at all.

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

Simballer if you could make the Prospect Board available during the draft, that would be a plus. The user was able to view it in the previous NBA2K's, but not this one, and I know it helps me out in the draft process.


Also the scouting reports get bunched together on some prospects and I'm not able to read the words. This usually happens when I scout them at the off-season workouts.

Thought that's what this bullet point was:

Tuning Draft Class values to be more in-line with the players they are replacing in the league. Players will be less uniform in size/weight to their position as well (meaning there will be small chances for talented 6'6 point guards, 7' small forwards, etc.).

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

I havent read all the post and this may of been mentioned but when a new(cpu) coach is hired from the coaching pool his playbook is automaticley set to 76'ers.There for bein all the coaching changes that happens they all have the same playbook. Takes away from the each eam each style concept

You got a point.
But some kind of estimation would be nice.
I think a lot of people loose their interest in the game if they think it will take too long.

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

This is not a final list. Not all of these have fixes just, I just wanted to give you guys a heads-up so you are aware of what I am looking into for the Association. As you guys know, we are always listening to the community; so if you think we missed anything important, this is a good place to let me know.

Items we are looking into:
- Tuning down Homecourt advantage during the regular season as well as during the playoffs.
- Issue with players having their roles adjusted downward when they become injured, which results in a low morale, which ultimately results in skewed Team Chemistry values around the league.
- Issue where performing Weekly Practices makes your players have 1-star trade value.
- Issue where Intentional Fouls are disabled after participating in an Intra-Squad Scrimmage.
- Tuning Draft Class values to be more in-line with the players they are replacing in the league. Players will be less uniform in size/weight to their position as well (meaning there will be small chances for talented 6'6 point guards, 7' small forwards, etc.).
- Issue with trade frequency being greatly reduced in future years. Also, tuning the timing of in-season trades.
- Issue with good players still in the free agent pool after the Free Agents period has ended.
- Issue with the Qualifying Offers time period being automatically skipped on occasion, causing the loss matching rights on restricted free agents.
- Loosening the logic the CPU uses to decide whether to accept or decline team contract options.
- Issue with undrafted free agents signing unrealistic contracts (PC users won't notice this issue).
- Issue with in-game saves when the save is made while the game is in a timeout situation (don't create in-game saves during timeouts until the patch is released).
- Issue where existing players are getting their signature animations edited at the end of every season.
- Issue where users are unable to waive players during the Training Camp period of the offseason when more than 15 players are on the roster.
- Issue where Potential values are not being properly updated in the player progression system.
- (PS3 only) Issue where the game is hanging on a black screen between the first and second quarter in the weeks leading up to the All-Star game.

Mind you, this list isn't comprehensive. These are just the core issues we are looking at right now. I've seen a few mentions here and there of people saying they are hanging on a black screen between quarters. If you are one of these people, please get in touch with me ASAP.

-PLEASE MAKE CONTRACTS OPTION IN MY PLAYER MODE!!!!!!!!!!
-And the possibility to load the nba draft classes in my player mode
-Possibility to upload the patch (as a digital file) for people who don't have internet at home (we are more than you could imagine)

Configuration PS3

I have to say that NBA 2K10 was the best sport game ever made, after the first patch...
I hope you will fix the issues of NBA 2K11 as you have done for 2K10.

THANKS

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items
