Re: NBA 2K12 Patch 1.04 Available Now For PS3, 360 - Post Impressions Here

Just played a game against the Magic. They attempted 25 3's, while the CPU was doing their "unstoppable momentum" thing: my PF missed an open layup, every CPU controlled player was able to beat my guy off dribble, and their offensive rebounding was spectacular. On one play, my Center had post position and was calling for the ball, my PG wasn't being tightly guarded, he passed the ball which was off target, bobbled by the Center... leading to a turnover. My PG was D. Rose, nice. I love momentum.

Went home and played a game and to honest, couldn't tell any difference between the game pre or post patch.

Still plays the same.

Guys still cut to the basket for no reason when their spotted up on the 3 pt line.

The cpu still forces, spins and morphs his way to the hoop.

I must be missing something because passes still seem floaty too.

Still couldn't get around Big Baby with Westbrook or Durant on miss matches.

If this (4MB) update was indeed the patch then it's officially baseball season for me.

Just sayin...

Turning clutch factor off and putting the clutch slider at 0 is the only way to alleviate that, and even then you'll see some funny stuff, but it's a lot more natural. It's been that way for years in 2K games.

Exactly what i've been saying. I'm actually jealous of the people who are saying that the game plays different. To me, and clearly some others, it's the same BS as before.

Post patch + default 2k roster + Pro/Sim = same old gameplay

CPU still spams the paint
CPU still up and unders
CPU still gets 'morph' blocks, un blocks (where you morph through the ball)
CPU C's still dribble like guards
CPU still dribbles around and then goes into the paint when inappropriate to do so
CPU still kicks the ball out when inappropriate
CPU still does the same old, lets not look past it, lets be realistic about it guys

I would post the video, but nba2k.com has not updated with it yet.

Since 2k has still not got the vid up... i took a vid of the vid.

Post Patch+Allstar/Default:

CPU doesn't spam the paint like they used to
CPU has done only about 3 up and under's after playing 3 full games
Not sure what you mean by morph blocks
CPU C's seem to be slower, or either that or PG's and SG's have far more explosiveness which makes them deadlier than C's dribbling and on the break
CPU sometimes does inappropriate things, but mainly goes for decent/good shots

These are my honest findings after playing 3 12min quarter games. I'm not analysing this through rose tinted glasses, it's just exactly how the games are playing. That 2k11 feeling is back, things make sense now. Driving to paint is actually do-able now, amazing. Are you sure you downloaded the patch? It was 3mb earlier today.

</object>Yes, I have the patch.

Morph blocks are where the CPU 'morphs' over to get a block even though they are realistically out of position. User then gets the ball morph through there hand/arms.

Like I said, I will provide proof once the vid gets on the site.

Also, I would like to say that the first play of the game, Dwight gets the ball at the top of the key where he is the ball handler with a Hedo pick (WTF?) then they both crash into the paint, D12 handsoff to Hedo who under the rim kicks to Jameer Nelson.

Who then does a hesitation, then an in and out, where the ball goes through Dwight Howards chest/head w/o collision. The ball then goes to Hedo (whos been standing in the paint for 8 seconds w/o leaving) Hedo catches, goes up, does a contact animation w/o contacting anyone, foul is called, Shawn Marion comes flying over 'morph' (CPU) and blocks the ball at the top of the square. Hmmm....

Yeah, I don't get it. I really wish I could say the same because I love bball.

That's what's so annoying about it, I got clutch off and the slider at 0. I only play offline association though, maybe my team is tired late in the season, maybe there's a little bit of scripting to tell a story, idk, I'm just trying to rationalize. I need to play some single exhibition games to see if this is consistent.

People online is still spamming the steal button. There is still not enough of a risk for them the stop. The offensive player has way to really counter unless they havent used their dribble. Then you can protect the ball, but other then that you are at the mercy of what I call the 50-40-10 rule. This means that every time you press the steal button there is 50% chance you will knock the ball loose, 40% chance nothing will happen or the defender will send the ball handler in a unwanted contact/ bumping animation, and 10% chance a foul will be called.

I really hope this is addressed in the next patch. That makes the game so frustrating when playing online but for the most part the patch has made online enjoyable.

If anyone would be so kind and provide a offline patch link, many thanks!

Just beat the Magic by 10 with the Heat on All star, w/ custom sliders, great game. Again, loving the feel of this patch.

Nice vid chia!

That is actually what I'm talking about.

1. Howard doing cross over is just well... STOP IT! (Mike Ditka voice)
2. Nelson was open should've shot the ball. Instead he was to force his way to hoop.
3. Turk doing unnecessary pump fake.
4. Dirk clipping threw him and no foul.
5. Marion being WAY out of position and somehow blocking the shot.

What is going on with 2k12?

COME ON MAN! (Chris Carter voice)

The game was good before the patch. Passing is better. It plays cool to me. Just set the game to sim and you will be fine.

Celtics vs Heat game 7 of 82 (assosiation Mode with patch)

Celtics 105 - 96 Heat

I shot 54% from the field + 42 from 3
Heat shot 53% + 55 from 3

They shot 60% in the 4th quarter 12/20 < Joke

I held them to around 75 points in the 3rd quarter and they came out blazing in the 4th, I dont like that at all. Clutch factor is off Btw
