initial impression is that passing does feel better - faster passes and more appropriate passes...i could just be imagining it, but i'm pretty sure it's been improved...not sure why they wouldn't mention this in the patch notes though.

Does this mean I can expect a few pleasant surprises that are not mentioned in the patch notes? I like pleasant surprises...

How can people can applaud 2k for a patch that hasn't fixed the catch up fast break bug or the association stats?

It's not a bug. A bug would be if you were on a fast break and your player fell through the floor. With the increased passing velocity it seems fast break catchup has been improved

We can applaud cause other things were fixed. One little thing doesn't make everything else irrelevant.

Well I played about 6-7 team up games online and this is what I noticed with the new patch 1.04.

Team up online (patch 1.04) PS3

pros: Connecting online in team up is a lot faster and it connects almost instantly to 6 to 10 players right away. I played several matches with up to 6 to 10 players and it ran very well without much lag. I was however disconnected a couple times with a network error. Controls feel more responsive and Passing in team up is much better overall as well. As far as onball defense goes, I was able to stay in front of my man one on one much easier and play better onball D. Team up seems to flow a lot better now and feels more balanced. I noticed that players fatigue more than they did before.

Cons: There seems to be some bugs still present with team up. Calling defensive plays with PG in Team Up is missing from last year. There is the annoying random inbounds bug, where you just cant get the ball inbounds and either end up with a 5 second call or you have to call a time out. Another Issue is in random team up games when you call a time out the substitution screens are gone at the top of the screen and so are the on the fly sub screen menu and you cant make any subs through the whole game.(this happened twice to me) I also noticed several full court inbounds passes which end up in an easy score. I was in a game where this was abused several times in one game. This needs to be toned down. Also the grading system for team up still shows most players with an F as their average grade. I do sometimes see a C grade from time to time. Now where it shows your average team up stats ie. points per game etc...seems to be way off. Now this one really gets me... I create a locker room to play teamup online with 3 or 4 friends so we can play on the same team together, only to randomly get separated and placed on the other team. This needs to be fixed.

I really hope they come out with another patch to fix a few more issues. All in all I am happy with 1.4 patch, but I expected more issues to be resolved.

Is the 1-3-1 zone the new fad now? Since the patch I have played 3 games online and all 3 opponents have used this defence.

That would imply that the most serious bugs/design problems have been fixed.

They haven't.

The gameplay most defiantly improved, you should be grateful for what they gave you, now stop whining, it isn't improving anything.

My cpu teammates in My Player seem to just 'play' better(with plays turned off). I don't know if its because the passing is better or because there are less delays on off ball movement, but they seem to make decisions quicker. Actually, just reading the patch notes now it says they don't hold on to the ball as much and they make smarter decisions passing inside. Sounds about right.

There was a couple of plays during a game I just played that seemed so right I had to yell something and freak out my friend. I'm feeling something strange...what is it...why, yes, I'm actually having fun playing 2k12. Weird.

I should be grateful for not fixing the catch up and double teams, for example? Is that what you consider whining? Dear lord...

And of course complaints improve things. They

a) have a chance to make customers and fanboys see how they are being treated
b) they have a change to affect, even slightly, the sales of the next game. If they are lower, then 2K will pay more attention. This year sales were much lower and this shows that we are not complete tools. I'm really happy for 2k suffering lower sales, because that will mean better attention paid to the next game.

Why did you switch the plays off?
