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

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

the one thing they said was patched was CPU dunks branching in to contact animations. i cant seem to do this? every time the CPU goes for a big dunk my guy just stands there. ive tried pressing block, turbo+block, turbo+right stick in dunkers direction. any tips on hard fouling post-patch?

I have yet to see this on a consistent basis myself. The contact animations I have seen have been when I attempt a dunk in traffic. When the CPU attempts a dunk and the A.I is controlling my teamate, the player will just do a "backward lean" animation. Perhaps there's a timing window in which to trigger the animation?

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet but the trajectory of jump shots taken along the baselines have been changed post patch. It almost impossible to hit those now...

Is the ai smarter when defending screen plays or can you still exploit spot up plays to generate ridiculous numbers of uncontested three pointers?

Sorry if this has already been discussed...its a long thread...

I'm having two big issues with stats since the patch. First, it seems like FG% in simmed games are a little low. There's only 1 team shooting over 46% in my association for the season, and its in January. I'm shooting .453 and im 3rd in the league. This just seems a little off. I should be in the upper tier of teams, but not nearly that high.

Also, in games that I play (I play all my teams games), FG%s are usually too low (especially for the CPU), but scoring seems to be right on. For example, the CPU will generally shoot around 41% from the floor, but usually will score over 100 points against me. The points against is fine, because I'm the Wizards. But I feel like the shooting% is way too low. Are there any sliders/settings I can adjust to get this to come up without it resulting in the CPU scoring like 120 points every game against me? Thanks in advance.

Wish they could at least tell us the month (December/January...March )

It's being worked on.

Frustrating, I'm sure, but the PC patch is usually the one that gets the most "love."

Yeah, from the one guy in the PC-Patch Q&A...

I got the game on 360 and have played a few games with the patch now...very nice. Rebounding is a hell of a lot better than the "everyone randomly jumps wherever" pre patch.

Just as a side note: the passing and stuff is a lot better on the 360 than the PC version which i've been playing. I don't know if that's just the patch or the version. It could also be the rosters. (I am using Nog's rosters on the 360 with dunk edits etc etc etc...easily the best roster out there IMO).

For whatever reason, I enjoy the game more on Hall of Fame than I do Superstar. It seems as if my half court offense runs more effectively on HoF vs Superstar; it's like the AI teammates do a better job at making the proper cuts thus allowing me to hit them in better positions for the score.

The main beef I have is the same as everyone else - fast break logic, on ball defense, and post defense. The Human AI teammates don't cut to the basket like they should during fast breaks, and instead, prefer to settle for jumpers in transition. That's all well and good if the defense gets back to cover the lane. But when the lane is open and your teammates don't cut to the basket to take advantage of this, you're forced to go for the attempt yourself which usually ends in some contested contact layup or pull up jumper with very little chance of going in. It's very frustrating, particularly on the higher difficulty settings when you need to take advantage of every easy basket you can get. That's not to say that you can't run successful fast breaks, but those annoyances happen frequently enough to present a problem.

The problem I see with the on ball defense is that defenders aren't moving their feet fast enough to match the stride of the offensive player. And the bumping that many of us complained about pre-patch is still very prevalent. I actually think that the on ball defense was fine just the way it was last year - they just needed to upgrade the help D in the paint to prevent the easy scoring.
Also, it seems that when they fixed the vertical jumping for big men, it also affected post defense. Post defense was one of my strong suits before, but even now, I can't stop big men from hitting fadeaways consistently despite the fact that I'm making every effort to perfectly time my block attempts. Even when my defender wins the ratings matchup for this scenario, the CPU still gets the upper hand. This is once again another frustrating instance of the game boosting the CPU just a little on higher difficulty settings to simulate a challenge. I prefer the higher difficulty settings because I feel the A.I. makes more human-like decisions and attacks the weak points of my defense, but 2K has to find a way to eliminate the attribute boosts for the CPU in certain situations.

I still do enjoy the game however. Just a few more things that need to be patch to really give the user a fairer shot and not feel like the losses we suffer are cheap ones.

Is it me or is it much tougher to post up post-patch? I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Perhaps it is because I haven't played in a few weeks.

[Villian]

could someone please correct me, i thought that during the hp halftime report in the association after the roundup of your game so far it would show some of the scores of the games that day around the association. is this true or not? or is it only for xbox because i have a ps3

Hi guys, sorry if it's already been asked before (I admit I ain't read all 72 pages of the thread), but is there any link to download the patch for non-Live users? Thanks everybody, and happy Xmas!
