cpu is not so automatic in the paint anymore...my help defenders are coming over and swating the CPU's attempts in the post.

I just played a few possessions against the Knicks (as the Pacers) on Superstar/Sim. To me, this is 2K11 2.0, and I mean that in a good way. If you enjoyed 2K11, you will thoroughly enjoy 2K12 with this patch. Imagine all the play calling and animation enhancements of 2K12 infused into 2K11. That's what you're getting now with this patch in my opinion. And this is coming from one of the most vocal 2K12 detractors on the board. I can finally say, as of this moment, 2K has satisfied me for the time being. I'm not saying that the game is perfect; after all, no game will be. The speed thing wasn't addressed it seems, but it's not as frustrating as it was before, mainly because the passing is 100x better, and the controls are more responsive. Now back to my regularly scheduled program of Knicks vs Pacers.

Could you give me a final score please? Because whenever I played on Superstar the CPU regularly blew me out, even though last year all I could play on was Superstar.

Can anybody that's playing MY Player tell me if the cheap CPU is a lot better? Like watching your team/player miss 80% of your shots in the 4th quarter and then watch the CPU come back from a double digit deficit to beat you in the end? Also if the overall feel of the games with your player are a lot smoother now and not as though the game determines whether you win or not.

Thanks to anyone who can answer this.

driving to the hoop feels better.

Contested shot attempts have definitely been addressed.

I saved a third video of some man defense I played as Kemba on Kyrie to end the first half, blocked his buzzer beater and knocked him on his *** and it looked GREAT. But I went to check nba2k.com and there's nothing in my HP Media Zone so I'm not sure how to find the replays for you guys. Is this one of those things that just doesn't work?

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

driving to the hoop feels better...i'm getting better layup and dunk animations when i drive now...rather than getting some slow two-footed gather and wierd floater, my player does quicker and more appropriate animations now.

Don't wanna repeat all that has been said. I totally agree with you on this. Going to the rack with JJ Hickson and Reke is a thing of a beauty. I'm glad the passing was tuned. The ball gets to the post in a hurry now.

As some said, there are still a few floaty passes here and there, but not enough to complain about, at least not in my early findings. Passings just feels a lot better, you get can into the flow of your offense. You have to play the game to really understand how improved it is.

So this patch is called 1.04 Making the game easier for those who suck

Now we have people loving it because they can beast the cpu on super star.

Maybe next patch we can have 2K put just 3 people on the court for the cpu so we can all beast and act like we are big dawgs in this game.


Game played great and was a challenge. Now it is patched for those who are not good...Fantastic

This is crazy. Is there better boxing out like 2K11 patched? How about mirroring defense and drive penetration?

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

passing has improved 5x! makes the gameplay so much better. Also Cpu misses more contested shots especially in the paint. Also it seems the mirroring Defense has been tone downed but it could be a placebo, but it feels like it has. It seems easier to drive. Open shots go in more for the user. cpu buzzer beaters have been toned down

Some negatives:
CpU Defense Recovers wayy too fast when beaten off the dribble or on fastbreaks even with slower players.
CPU abusing pump fakes and up and under move is still there. (Can be fixed with custom rosters)

Allstar default feels very good now. Custom Rosters and minor slider ajustments will make this game fantastic a wonder. The only problem i have gameplay wise is the recovery speed of the defense.

I'll answer some questions

I'm sorry guys, but I gotta post again. Like I told one poster in another thread, I'll point give criticism when criticism is due, but I also will give praise when praise is do. The super warpy CPU defenders that were present in the last patch are now gone it seems (I'm currently playing on Hall of Fame/Sim). I'm able to beat guys off the dribble again. #fistpump

And I'm getting every foul call! In fact, I'm getting annoyed shooting free throws!! 2k, whatever do, don't address that LOL. That's more of a testament to my aggressive playstyle. I'm getting the fouls that I rightfully deserve. I finally feel like I can get back to an X's and O's mentally against the computer on the highest level and actually hold my own!!!

Anyway here were the stats before I hopped online.

34-29 Cavaliers leading at half, 7 min quarters.

Davis - 12 5/7
Varejao 6 3/3
Sessions 4 2/3
Tristan Thompson 2-4-2 1/2

55%, 40% from 3, 14 boards, 18 PIP, 4FBP

----------

Walker 8 4/10 (I was forcing it with him just cause he's a blast) 2 blocks
Diaw 7 3/4
Augustin 6 2/3
Maggette 5 2/5

44%, 42% from 3, 11 boards, 10 PIP, 3FBP


This game seems lovable, but I like the challenge of fending off cheesers online so I've gotta see what that feels like now, or if it's still floaty online.

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

cpu actually misses open jumpers now.


you can actually pass to cutters in the paint now...no more of that B.S. low one-handed pass that got swatted down every time.

If the mirroring is there, it's not as obvious as before. I have noticed boxing out on free throws, but not so much on regular shots. However, I am noticing improved rebounding from my team when I max out crash boards. Before, it seems like that coaching slider was irrelevant. So far, I've been able to get penetration when the situation warrants it. I'm just halfway through the first quarter, and I've already attempted 7 free throws. That comes from me playing aggressive and trying to get points inside. I hope that answers your question.
