Re: NBA 2K12 Patch 1.03 Released (PS3) - Patch Notes

people like jordan crawford and jr smith hitting contested mid range shots consistently like they are MJ or Kobe. its crazy

kobe shouldnt be hitting them with his 78 mid. but other than that its a online slider problem where every sliders is on default making for unrealistic play

? you adding to the patch? midrange wasnt touched as well as game speed. 3pt success when guarded was the only change on offense in this patch.

I dunno it feels different to me but then again it over wrote my custom roster so it could be that they adjusted the roster wit the d/l.

After another night of ranked games.....the only difference I see is that it's much faster to find a game. I see no difference in steals and minimal difference in 3pt shooting.

Not patch related: the passing is by far the most frustrating part of this game this year. Way more annoying than 3pt bombers and steal spammers.

im loving online now on ps3 post patch 1.03. playing good defense is rewarded. 3pt shots are toned down. and if your wide open u must release the shot correctly or u will brick it. steals and blocks are still high but i can deal with it but if u play smart u get the ball stolen less

What about the framerate hitches?

Re: NBA 2K12 Patch 1.03 Released (PS3) - Patch Notes

Keep posts on the patch. Enough of this "fix it now" garbage that permeates these threads.

This thread is about the PATCH.

Re: NBA 2K12 Patch 1.03 Released (PS3) - Patch Notes

im online ps3 thrashing people since the patch. so whoever just cheese wit three pointers will need to find something else cheese at lol cause u will probably get blew out. just played the celtics. i had the wizards. shut down pierce and ray allen. mid range shots fall but still can be stop with great defense. if u play great d on someone shooting mid range it wont fall as much. u still can hit contested shots just not as often which i like cause good players in real life hit contested shots just not every play. psn: abcfinest

I've only played about 5 - 10 minutes of the game since the 1.03 patch, but playing defense is definitely less frustrating now. I also noticed a slight improvement in passing, but I haven't played with any elite passers yet either. I'm about to fire up an online game real quick to see what it's like on there.

EDIT: Just finished the first quarter, and yes, sim basketball prevails even better than it did before!! This is finally shaping up to be the game I was expecting at launch. I'm housing this cheeser with the Nets! He has the Thunder. Cheese tactics can still prevail if you play lazily against them.

Re: NBA 2K12 Patch 1.03 Released (PS3) - Patch Notes

Post Patch Impressions:

- Searching opponents takes a ton less, on both: ranked vs and teamup.

- Defense is much tighter, thus it has been like that since the shoe D/L.

- Of around 10 games of teamup, only one crashed ... it was one with 10 users and it did, when in the screen where you vote the teams out ... it started lagging badly and then went to the counting screen where you wait once an opponent gets out ... kept counting down 14 to 0 over and over again until after the 15th time I gave up and had to quit the game.

- Now you dont always have to wait the 14 seconds once a player quits when a team up game has started. Sometimes you do, sometimes you dont.

- The game still lags for me everytime there are more than 6 players and becomes almost unplayable when more than 8. Might be my connection but I see other leaving, so its for all involved.

- While I have yet to see a network error on any of both modes, am now seeing more no other players remain messages, a bit more often ... on teamup.

- The contested 3s are going in a less rate, maybe due to the influence of both, the D not beeing overly focused on drives and more focus on shooters and because of a toned down succcess rate. The again, there are a few that still go in when shot by good players (Dirk, Allen) but is tolerable. In a few games I have seeing %s in the 50 & 60 but when I look at the attempts is way less than 10.

- Since I regulary play two really steal spammers, I have become less prone to lose the ball by an on ball steal, but after this patch, I only lose the ball once a game at most. Like it. If only there were a bit more reaching fouls and if the passing lanes steals were toned down just a tad bit.


* My only question is, have this patch solved all the insane amount of OA disconnects ? ... prior it, couldnt play a single game out of 20 tries with around 8 different users of 2 OA I was a part of. Quit both since I didnt wanted to hamper the others experience and since my teams were getting most of the simmed wins.


In sum, liked the patch and just hope they keep listening and addressing all the gameplay & game modes issues as well as the omissions of the already pointed out needed online options.

Re: NBA 2K12 Patch 1.03 Released (PS3) - Patch Notes

After playing a full game online, the patch has definitely made the game better. The particular game I played had some lag, but it wasn't so much that it distracted from the gameplay too much. The only gripe I really have is that more reach-in fouls need to be called. The cheeser I played with kept steal spamming the entire game, and while he only got about 2 steals out of the 100 he attempted playing this game, reach-in fouls should have been called at a greater rate. If 2K can fix the fouls in the next patch, this game will be a sim player's paradise online. Cheesers never prosper!! I ended up winning 70-61 with the New Jersey Nets against the OKC Thunder (I love when I beat a cheeser with a bottom 5 team).

Re: NBA 2K12 Patch 1.03 Released (PS3) - Patch Notes

As far as online goes, cheesers can still play frantically and keep the game close. The game is not rewarding patient players because the passing is still an issue. While I did notice a slight increase in user passing, the defense is still able to cover ground to intercept and deflect passes at an unrealistic pace. If they can incorporate true player movement that utilizes weight and momentum properly and get rid of the sliding, that would fix that problem altogether.

It's infuriating where I have a clear path to the basket and the cheeser's defense is able to collapse and recover because my player is artificially slowed down while driving to make this happen. Anyway, it was still rewarding having a cheeser quit just now in the fourth. Muahahahah

Re: NBA 2K12 Patch 1.03 Released (PS3) - Patch Notes

We used to complain that people weren't taking midrange jumpers in 2k online and now we are complaining that they make too many mid j's. I'm happy to see people actually taking them in a game for once imo. I had a bigger problem with fadeaways being more successful than they should be (Pre-patch on the 360) than I did with straight up mid j's.

I called this quite a while ago. It's why I say some here will NEVER be happy.

My game freezes every time I start a game after downloading the patch! what do I do??

You may have to delete all your game data if you can't access your profile and settings separately. If you can, try deleting these first as it's most likely something being auto-loaded and corrupt.

when does the patch for the xbxo 360 come out.
