Did they fix the issue with creating players & editing their faces causing their forehead to protrude?

There are so many things wrong with this post that I don't even know where to start.

Numbers, especially statistical output of a sports game engine, are important. There is an entire genre of sports games dedicated to the simulation of statistics. I'll leave it at that.

Is this not a video GAME???? It's supposed to be played. If you want a number simulator you can easily find another title to play. The main aspect of the NBA 2k game is to provide the feeling as if you were controlling the game of basketball. Having a controller in your hand means you are supposed to play the game. The xbox comes with a gamepad, not a calculator. Yes this thing should be fixed but I'd take gameplay over numbers any day.

This is the 3rd time you have avoided to properly answer my posts.

What MAJOR gameplay problems were they addressed?

[cream and crimson]

I've had significant amount of drops since I downloaded the patch tonight...never had the problem before....anyone else experience this???

Also when it says waiting for opponent with the 14 sec timer, after that's gone my game speeds up and goes crazy and I can't control anyone. It's crazy really. Anyone else noticing this?

The thing is there aren't any MAJOR gameplay problems. If there were then why are we all playing it? The game is alot better than you think. Glass half full. Btw since you can't seem to search it yourself here are the patch notes. Alot of good things got fixed.


Below are the full details for NBA 2K12 Patch v1.04 with NBA 2K12 iOS patch notes, at the bottom.

ONLINE
Fixed an issue that would cause large-user Team-Up games to hang at halftime if all users watched the halftime show in-full.
Addressed an issue that would lead to a disconnect in subsequent games when one or more users modified their playbook for the current game.
A number of Association: Online optimizations were made to greatly minimize disconnects.
Additionally, general optimization improvements were made in order to improve the overall online experience.
GENERAL
The ‘Back to Back to Back’ and ‘My All-Star’ trophies/achievements should now unlock under the proper conditions.
Previously unlocked NBA’s Greatest games and ‘Gift with Purchase’ Kings/Warriors teams will now remain unlocked after playing and exiting the Association/My Player game modes.
Fixed an issue where the roster would become corrupt when attempting to enter the ‘Legends Showcase’ with unsaved roster changes.
Fixed a rare issue that would cause the game to hang when attempting to skip the pre-game presentation in Season and Playoff modes.
Corrected an issue where players could become duplicated after editing a Created Team.
“PIPPEN” dunk package has been updated so that it can be re-assigned to Pippen when switched off of him.
Addressed issue where Created Players are assigned Cold Zones for all shot locations. This change applies for all generated players in Association/My Player modes as well.
The Adidas Zig Pro Future and ZigEncore shoes should now have the correct shoe image associated with them.
GAMEPLAY
Increased the velocity of lob passes into the post so they are less vulnerable to tips and steals.
Reduced steal success when the defender attempts a steal from behind the ballhandler.
Tuned player lunges on steal attempts such that they don’t cover an unrealistic amount of ground.
Tuned AI passes from the wing down into the post. The AI is now smarter during this situation, specifically where the perimeter defender is sagging off the ballhandler in anticipation of this pass.
Corrected an issue where during online gameplay, a shot ball would ‘re-launch’ even after it had been blocked.
Tuned AI playcalling during late-game situations so that they initiate plays faster.
Fixed an issue where the CPU ballhandler would take too long to pass (or in some cases, not pass the ball at all) when running a play in My Player.
Addressed an issue where the user would inadvertently commit an intentional foul with a defender when attempting to contest a shot with his hands up.
Tuned animation selection that would cause a player to lose forward momentum when attempting a Swat Block.
Addressed a specific case where attempting a pass fake would cause the pass to be thrown.
8-second violations will no longer be called when the ball is poked loose and enters the backcourt.
Training Camp: Triple Threat drill score requirements lowered in order to make it a little easier to complete the drill.
Legends Showcase: Fixed a hang that would occur when the AI would recover a loose ball by diving for the ball and then sitting idle with it.
Legends Showcase: Addressed a case where players who did not meet the requirements were able to throw a flashy pass.
MY PLAYER
Corrected an issue where the game would hang after winning the NBA Finals in My Player mode.
Trading logic has been greatly improved in this mode. In particular, your team’s GM will no longer overhaul the roster once you join the team.
Your team’s GM will now do a better job of acquiring one of your recommended players when he comes to you asking for potential trade targets. Be careful what you ask for!
Fixed an issue where both teams in a game would be using the wrong playbooks on occasion.
A few select season-long milestones (e.g. Shoot 85% or better from the free throw line) should now properly unlock when the prerequisite conditions are met.
The camera should now properly follow the action in your Signature Shoe Commercial.
THE ASSOCIATION
A number of trade logic improvements have been made for this experience (these apply to Association: Online as well).
Addressed the CPU lineup building / player role allocation such that players no longer become unnecessarily upset with the direction of their respective teams.
New coaching staff is now generated when you get many years into the mode. This will result in sufficiently skilled coaches available to be hired.

AI fails to double team, fast break problems, messed up stats, cheating 4qt AI, on ball defence not working, netcode.

All these are MUCH MORE important things than the ones that were fixed, for anyone who actually wants to play a more simulated experience.

You say MAJOR gameplay problems, them mention "messed up stats?" I didn't know that was a component of gameplay.

And how does on-ball defense not work? Can't stop guys like Carmelo every possession, you know. And if you can't stop a scrub, honestly you should go practice.

what do I know, I haven't even tried the patch out, haha.

Can we keep this thread on impressions please?

There is too much progress to be discussed rather than go back and forth...

If he's mad, let him be mad and post in the suggestions area...

"I dont understand why you guys are praising...." posts are the worst kinds of posts....they serve no purpose

[datruth251]

I can`t bealive they didnt fixed team stats bug in my association or season offline... so sad... cant play anymore.

PD: anyone else with this problem? Maybe isnt a general bug? Thanks

I also have that problem and it sucks

[mjshedrick09]

I Like all of the updates back to back. However the game still lacks players that have signed contracts. All the Lakers rookies have signed.

Re: NBA 2K12 Patch 1.04 Available Now For PS3, Post Impressions Here

After a couple of quick games...

A lot of the glitches seem to have been ironed out, with the exception of the fake pass button still passing the ball on occasion. Improvements made in some areas, like the speed of passes. That hitch before a chasedown block seems to be gone. Still seeing players slide, warps, psychic defense and all that, but no one expected any changes to the game engine. It's outdated and troublesome, but it is what it is.

Outside of that, I had asked about player speed last night and can confirm myself now that everyone on the court still sprints at the exact same speed regardless of ratings. This a dealbreaker for me in terms of gameplay. It seems like something 2K can fix with roster updates, but then they'd have to address all kinds of ratings issues that skew the balance of the game and I'm not holding my breath.

TL;DR: This patch has some important fixes but only gets us to about 2/3 of a final build. Looking forward to starting my association after 1.05.

Re: NBA 2K12 Patch 1.04 Available Now For PS3, Post Impressions Here

Just finished the first quarter on Hall of Fame/Default, everything on. I'm playing as the Suns versus the Cavs. The cheapness from the CPU is definitely gone. They finally play within themselves and not above themselves. If you play defense and get a hand up, it will affect their shot success -- finally!

Here are the stats from the first quarter (I play 12 mins quarters)

Score
Cavs - 25 Suns - 24

Cavs - 11/23 (47%) from the field Suns 9/20 (45%) from the field

Cavs - 0/3 from 3 Suns 2/7 (28%) from 3

Cavs - 3/6 from free throws Suns - 4/4 from free throws

Cavs - 5 assists Suns - 4 assists

Both teams have 2 turnovers apiece.

The Cavs have 12 total rebounds. The Suns have 8 total rebounds.

The Cavs have 2 steals. The Suns have 1 steal.

The Cavs don't have any blocks. The Suns have 3 blocks.

The Cavs have 18 points in the paint. The Suns have 14.

The only negative I have, like I said before, is the lack of speed in the open court. If they can fix that through rosters or a small patch, this game would probably hold up well until 2K13.

I haven't played a third quarter yet, so I don't know if the scripted comebacks have been eliminated. If so, Hall of Fame is definitely a legitimate difficulty setting again.

EDIT: I would recommend tuning the quickness slider to your liking. At default, the players move a little too quickly.

[datruth251]

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

How is it not a but if your getting inaccurate stats every time.

Can someone be so kindly to check if association rotation minutes have been improved. You know most players average 34 minutes and under. Also if you can edit age. Thanks
