My Player is terrible now for a big man. If you don't run the set play everyone stands still for 15 seconds. And they only seem to run 2-3 plays the whole game. It's incredibly dull and robotic.

So I just played a My Player game. What the hell were people complaining about? That mode plays great now. You're actually running a true offense now and not just playing it like it's an And1 game.

I've noticed the A.I. for the opposing team is also way better now. I'm not seeing any of those "stand around for 10 seconds then chuck up a shot with 3 people around you" shots. There are still chucks (mainly when playing with Corey Maggette

) but they're not completely dumb and unrealistic like it was pre-patch.

I'm really glad they ended up making this change. Sure My Player was still fun pre-patch, but now that you're actually getting to run plays it's 10x better. Although I'm pretty sure I know why some people were complaining, now that it takes more work for them to try and average their r****** 50ppg.

I'm with you on this but since most people are complaining i bet they're going to come out with another patch to make it like it was before smh. If they do that hopefully they can at least give the option to still run plays.

Loving this game post-patch. I've been playing online mostly and have played about 8 games virtually lag free. No game drops. Most frustrating aspect is the jumpshooting, primarily 3's online. They were tough before and even tougher now. With the improved interior defense with contact animations, perimeter shots r even more important now. Gonna take more practice I guess to start hitting them. Kudos 2k.

Only played a half so far but the lowered bumping on drive for the cpu is nice so far.

CP3(cpu) is lighting billups (me) up. Now when Chris attacks and we make contact I can back off the contact and in most instances because of that mismatch need to or he can turn the corner.. When I do that he steps back and pops the shot... Basically I have a healthy respect for his ability to blow past me on the dribble. Yet when I do play off him and beat him to the angle h doesn't just blow past me.

So its very early but so far it seems like a great balance for the cpu. Game feels really really good to me more open and yet more structured at the same time. LOVING it but again its just a half.

Czar anymore impressions of the patch pros and cons?

If you value the roll of the dice more than the skill of the thumb you can always go with rating driven FG%, the option is there. not to mention sliders

Is not roll of the dice. Is called ratings of players. Why should all shots go in if the release is done on the green mark. For that then NBA elite would be the game for those types.

Even a perfect release should not mean a 60 rated bench player should be stroking jumpers.

That is not sim. That is arcadish which means all user skill and no ratings involved.

The patch is great! Just wish they would have fixed the siloquette pictures for created players (during subs) and also the NBA Today feature (halftime show during the association where it shows scores around the league) , I'm not seeing it.

^^^^ did the patch do anything for created players or teams? like do they finally say names during subs or intros? I haven't had a chance to get it yet..

I agree completely. My free-throw shooting has suffered the most. I have to hold the Shot stick extremely late now to get a good release.

My Player mode plays fine in my opinion. The difference is that I had to actually learn how to play off the ball. Once I get to the blue spot, and the ball gets to the person the play is designed for, I cut to the basket and look to get to open spots on the court and have gotten passes from my teammate for easy layups and close jumpshots. If you stay active your teammates will find you, but I learned just standing on the blue spot until its time run back on D is not effective. I crash the paint which has resulted in more rebounds now, and it feel like I have become the hard hat dirty worker player on the team now. Its cool, I look at like I am the Joakim Noah of SF's now. Just stay active once the ball gets to the designed person and good things happen for you

Seems like online is unplayable now post patch. They try to adjust the timing due to the lag but it was already playable pre-patch. Seems like the timing and physics are all out of wack after the patch....

I only played 2 games online so far. Now I can't even time the free throws right. It always says early release, no matter if I release it really late. Does that happen to anybody?

Well if my online games could last more than 2 minutes before they drop I might have some feedback for ya

I had no issues with the jump shooting before patch. But you making everything just confirmed that it made the game easy. So you rather make things easy then realistic

You do realize that this game is based on ratings and not your ability to put the marker on the green. If that was the case then ratings meant nothing

that's the whole point of timed based shooting. if you time it right, then it should go in. if you want realistic shooting percentages, you can always switch it to real life field goal percentage in the options.

Wrong again. Realistic FG percentages does not take ratings into account. It just takes the FG% and makes it like nba games regardless of who is shooting

This is a sim game. Meaning player ratings and tendencies matter. If you hit a perfect green mark it does not mean that a scrub player should never miss. Then what is the point of ratings.

The green mark should only be something that if you get it right then based on the players rating, the shot will have a higher or lower chance of going in.

The way you want it, ratings should not matter then.

One quick note regarding generated rookie classes. That fix needs a corresponding roster update before you will see those changes. When the next Living Roster update is made available (I believe that is scheduled for overnight tonight), you will notice those changes.

These generated classes will apply to newly started Associations. If you want to use them in an existing Association, you can simply generate new classes outside of Association, save them, and load them into your existing Associations when prompted. Enjoy.

Ok so if I have spent quite some time editing my roster(the 11/20/10 roster update I believe) with Sean Barkley's shoe/equipment edits and some of my own touches I would have to start all over editing the newest roster update(11/25/10) which I just got? Or... generate my draft classes outside of my association with the newest roster update(11/25/10) loaded, right? So I DON'T have to start ALL OVER... I'm halfway done editing every player's shoes and equipment. I REALLY don't want to do the entire Eastern conference again.
