Patch did not fix the game from freezing when you quit the association (before it can get to the main menu).

Disappointing.

I was wrong. The patch made MyPlayer a lot better. The AI didn't have to get smarter or consistent, it just needed better execution. The auto-playcalling has all but eliminated the horrible 3 on 1 contested jumpers. And when all else fails I can always press A and take over.

10 more hours left...

(For the patch to be out for 24 hours)

You should really stop ****ing on people in this thread until you've played the game yourself. The CPU PG's don't do ANYTHING anymore until the play is ran or until there is about 5 seconds left on the clock. They stand there dribbling in place and won't even take picks or anything.

I can see where the would suck.

So you can override the above mentioned issue? That would be a good thing yes?

(the reason they aren't throwing you the ball, person with 99 speed, is that accuracy on long bomb passes is way lower, and the CPU reacts much better. Before it was ridiculous that someone like Chris Aldrich could throw a perfectly accurate 70' pass every time).

My issue with that is that is the reason I have 90 vert and maxed hands, I can call for the pass and catch it (regardless of who's throwing it, normally between scola and yao); however they won't throw it to me on their own. They should be at least smart enough to know I'll catch it, either 100% of the time or 0% of the time so when I do call for pass they aren't already throwing me the ball and I'm not quick-passing it the second I get it.

If you break the play down then the person with the ball will take a horrible shot at the end of the shot-clock, whoever was saying otherwise was just running the play whether they knew it or not. (I've run all my myplayers, PG, SG, SF, C; that is my result on trying to break the play.)

Yeah but it's better than hitting the side of the backboard.

Still does that for me. Actually when I'm at the baseline if I pass the ball (lets say to a guy in the paint) it throws it off the backboard automatically resetting the 24 second clock.

Did they ever announce any kind of ETA for the PC patch?

This patch CHANGED the players running style (running without ball in hand) and I HATE it becuz now my SG Myplayer and all the other players run like Centers and that really sucks....hopefully they fix this.

Re: NBA 2K11 Patch v1.2 Available Now, Post Impressions Here

I love seeing the plays on MyPlayer; before, I was just the craziest screen setting Center in the league, and now I can run plays and break them if I see an opening.

Two things I have noticed that I'm disappointed with:

1. Players still foul out and don't get subbed. Just stay in the game as if it were fouls 1 - 5.

2. Tipped up rebounds count as boards whether you secure them or not, and the same goes for the CPU players. So my rebounding numbers are inflated - particularly on the offensive end - because I got a hand on the ball and it popped up yet another player corralled it. In turn, I'm getting grade deductions when an opponent getting credit for a touch that I then secured.

What exactly do you mean when you say the running style has changed?..and is this change only in My player ...

Re: NBA 2K11 Patch v1.2 Available Now, Post Impressions Here

why is that if I'm in the lane with my defender beat no one is in front of me...I don't dunk the damn ball My player just go for some sorry *** floater...the defender is beat no one is around me my vertical and dunk is a 99 I should dunk the ball unless there is contact which it wasn't...

and why didnt they fix the computer missing wide open shots in myplayer mode...kevin garnett can hit fade aways from damn near the 3 point line and my teammate lebron james cant hit a sorry wide open 10 footer ?

Re: NBA 2K11 Patch v1.2 Available Now, Post Impressions Here

So from reports of people here they finally fixed custom music, with the extra downtime for the pc patch would be nice if they could patch it for the pc version.

I know, I'm beating on a dead horse here though.

Re: NBA 2K11 Patch v1.2 Available Now, Post Impressions Here

I'm liking the improvements to the gameplay especially the perimeter D and realistic verticals. I'll admit this is a bit nitpicky but has anyone noticed in sims the crazy amt of free throws? This might have been happening before the patch and maybe even was mentioned before but I never noticed til now.

I just got to the playoffs in my association and a simmed Bulls/Heat game produced a really close game so I was happy to see the home court advantage has indeed been toned down but D. Rose attempted 17 free throws and Boozer 23. 40 between the two players and the team shot 65 total. That's insane. I looked around the other games and saw similar though not as outlandish numbers. Typically each team shot 40-50 FTs a game. Realistically avgs are around 25. Again, not that serious but caught my eye.

What I don't understand is you people saying our myplayers shouldn't be scoring points?

Excuse me? A 7 foot person that's faster than kobe with higher shooting skills than kobe shouldn't be putting up more points than kobe? (replace kobe with durant, or any of the others.)

If you don't play myplayer, or you don't try to win at myplayer, then you have no business talking trash to other people who do. That's just ridiculous. Out of the NUMEROUS (50+) friends I have from myplayer on xbox live, every single person thinks that the auto-calling of plays is stupid that has gotten on today (31 so far), I've gotten more messages from people about how they can't believe that having the highest PER, TSP, PPS aren't helping them on having more catches with the auto plays being called.

Sorry if you think that it's unrealistic, but that's kind of the point of a game. Don't tell me to go play another game because I can still accomplish the same stuff, it's just stupid to force work-arounds on people that aren't really needed.

Oh, and I've been top 100 in ranked online games since 2k8, but this game really appeals more to the MYPLAYER mode to me, if sudden changes like this for "realism" sake are to be expected in the future (auto calling plays, even if you're the pointguard) I see no reason to buy any further products, I doubt next years game can change much from this years; just like I felt ripped off buying 2k10 when I already had 2k9.

Just follow the damn play to score or ask your team to trade you. You can't force the same s*** in this game post patch. 2k is trying to be a BASKETBALL SIM and has succeeded so I really hope they don't listen to this kind of complaint.

If you're gonna pass on the rest of this year and or next year, then good riddance! I don't want to play with or against people like you who live in fantasy land believing there would EVER exist a 7 footer who's faster and shoots better than Kobe! The point of the game is to have fun yes but the REASON it even exists is to SIMULATE REAL LIFE! What you and your idiotic ADD-addled friends envision as basketball nirvana is absolute poison to any rational, well adjusted basketball fan!

Go Sim or Go Home! If you can't learn to play the game the way it was meant to be played and excel at it, then do us all a favor and play NBA Jam to your hearts content! Leave the online matches to true competitors!

Probably April, like last year. They don't care about PC users.
