The CPU don't get smarter with higher difficulties. Don't you agree? They just get better artificially. NBA 2k12 is not a combat fighter game. It's not supposed to be hard , killing you if you make one mistake. there's nothing more real or realistic about hall of fame over pro.

    Regarding the food analogy I would say 2k12 still delivered the steak and potato, but the server was a bum, and the cutlery never showed up. But when you bit into that steak it was the same delicious steak but you had heartburn 30 minutes after the meal.
    I agree. Hall of Fame is impossible and the computer blatantly cheats. But my question to 2K is, why purposely make it that way? Who honestly wants to play a game knowing they will be cheated? If they can't make the A.I. more difficult without adding cheap tactics, why not just have one difficulty level and call it a day?

    And Pro is a little more challenging with the 1.03 patch, but at launch, Pro was a piece of cake personally. I could win by 30 with the Timberwolves against the Heat.
    According to my old marketing professor, satisfaction is when product performance meets or exceeds consumer expectation.

      The trade logic was my only gripe, and it has been addressed.

        btw, what is Mike's motivation in developing a better game? his love for basketball video game development?
        and

        "This game was a big undertaking trying to top 2k11"
        -how do you know? did you do the development?

        "and they fumbled a bit."
        -I think they did an amazing job - I think this year's game is better than last year if you ask me (with custom sliders / pro etc) - my complaint is with the default which you have to use online.

        "They know this...."
        - yet they don't address it because they devote their time to make more money. which is understandable but is part of the complaint.

        relax
        I think they did an amazing job as well. They did fumble a bit. Not a complete drop but the game isn't flawless.

        They don't address this???? Are we not talking in a thread titled NBA 2k12 patch!? If they didn't address anything there wouldn't be a patch there would just be 2k13.

          the ones with the patch I would suggest playing on default sliders first instead of three custom sliders you guys have set...

              That's ALL of the cosmetic fixes, really??

              These need to be fixed and there may be more that you guys can think of:

              - Ability to edit color of headbands instead of them being automatic

              - Ability to edit jersey fit (loose or tight) and short length (60's short shorts, 90's short shorts, baggy)

              - In CAP, fix the current list of hairstyles or add more, because they look terrible

              - Ability to use current players tattoos instead of the ones that are in CAP now, those are truly terrible. I'd rather have the ability to use some of LeBron's tats then the ones on the current CAP list

              - Ability to wear socks underneath ankle braces, it was in last year, don't know what's wrong with it this year

              - More Reebok and Adidas shoes

              - Some of the CAP facial hair in the goatees section looks crooked like Hedo Turkoglu's. There's a couple that aren't even close to centered that need a fix to them cause it looks terrible.

              -Body styles and wingspans. I don't know if this can be patched in or not but in any case we need different body styles like Durant, Dwight, LeBron, Glen Davis, and Kobe. Those are the ones that immediately come to mind. You should get a choice for different body styles in CAP. Wingspans, don't need any explaining; they could make a huge difference.

                Because at this time of history technology isn't sophisticated enough to give us true AI. So instead of getting more life like the game gets cheaper. On pro, the AI is as smart as possible.

                    Other cosmetic things could include the guys with longer hair (Dirk or Nash), make it 3D or something so it moves, looks dumb just gelled in place. I believe 2K7 had it right. And the walking up the court animations in 2K7 were spot on as well. No idea if that's patchable but they said all cosmetics were so just putting in my 2 cents.

                      I'm currently playing a game on Pro with the patch, and I've only scored two points in the first four minutes of the quarter. That's actually a good thing considering I'm going against the Heat with the Raptors. This wasn't like that at launch.

                        Disappointed that they did not fix some of the other team up issues. Especially if you can still throw a full court inbound pass to the other side of the court.

                          Yup the game is still challenging. Trust me you won't go back!

                            It is quite apparent that I am in the minority, but I liked a lot of what I saw in these patch notes. I really enjoy NBA 2K12 but there were a couple of honest-to-goodness issues I'd been having with the game. Namely, I am very relieved to read the freezes and sudden roster corruptions have been addressed. Every other aspect and tweak to 2K12 gameplay paled in comparison with the inability to run through each mode without the constant threat of freeze and corruption. So that's huge for me.

                            Also, as someone who struggles with not exploiting exploits against the CPU, I'm really glad they addressed the post entries. I've found myself unable to be controlled in terms of dropping my defender down to the post to tip the clearly impending post entry.

                            I'm also quite comforted by the assurance my Warriors and Kings won't be getting deleted anymore. Love those teams.

                            Further, very important to me that the CPU late-game A.I. was tweaked.

                            Surely more could be done, but I'm very pleased with what they've addressed so far.

                              lol people still whining.

                              Sorry but anyone who says 2k11... no matter what patch you are using, is better than 2k12 at LAUNCH is insane. Anyone who wants to play 2k11 can just slide that back in IMO. Yeah it sucks to have paid 60 bucks for a bad product, but at least you have a good product to go back to that you like. And that's not even sarcasm; why force yourself to play a game you dislike when you have one you enjoy better sitting right in front of you? I felt the same with live 10 vs 2k11. I was like hmm this isn't doing it for me. back to Live...!

                              But 2k12... man you guys should be happy for this game. This game is a blessing to anyone who loves basketball. If the computer is too good, turn down the difficulty; you wanna get by the computer? turn down on ball D.

                              Would be nice to completely fix online, but that's all.

                              And I don't see this fast break issue. Certain guys just break out well. They get going at the right moment and get that speed burst. That is a dunk. It's not as easy to take the ball with the PG and go coast to coast, but if you do a lay up animation like a hop step or euro step you can still get a score.

                              I get a lot of fast break points, but my team is also like 99 99 99. AS EVERYONE'S TEAM SHOULD BE A FEW YEARS IN. Unless you handicap yourself on purpose...

                                i'm not trying to be a jackass, but are you seriously asking for those petty fixes/additions? i mean, come on... geez. it's-a-video-game, sit back and enjoy what it is because you don't notice those things when you're playing the game.
