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

Anyone want to chime in?

I'll try by listing some ps3 negatives...

1. Driving the Lane Feels a lot better. However its easy to tell when the cpu is on its run. When the cpu is on its run mirroring defense becames a big pain in the ***. I pumped faked billups in the air only for him to slide right back in front of me. I'm rose btw, and at times i can't get past the D's mirroring and sliding. Sometimes the defender doesn't even move they just slide miraculously in place.

2. Fastbreaks Fastbreaks are better because passing is better but hard to finish for the user, and hard to stop CPU breaks. CPU somehow always run damn near perfect fast breaks. Which leads me to my final thing

3.Speed This is the worst. The sliding makes the CPU's recovery time way to fast. Remember What I said above about Billups? Yeah he slid back into place. Deandre Jordan (53 speed, 45 Quickness) just ran Fullcourt toe for toe with D.Rose (97 speed, 99 Quickness) I have video proof. D.Rose was not running fast enough and Jordan was running too fast. On the otherhand CPU runs fast as hell on fastbreaks while the User runs slower. This makes it harder to stop CPU breaks. CPU reacts to fast on D and User doesn't react fast enough.

One last thing the momentum/Rubberbanding is there but not nearly as bad as prepatch. However if you have one man shooting teams like the bulls it will probably make you toss your controller. Hope this helps. I'm still loving the patch though they could've fixed more. PG's will not block your Centers but D.Rose was blocked by Billups a few times. I recommend allstar/default or sim.

I'm addicted to MP mode, it's way better post patch, getting some pretty realistic games..playing along side with Kemba is so fun, our team is horrible though. I didn't want to get drafted by the damn Bobcats

On Superstar, Default sliders and nobody caught me up with fast ballers.

Scored 23 fastbreak points with GS against Milwaukee.

For those who are wondering, i can CONFIRM that Jimmer Fredette is on the Kings in My Player Mode.

Everyone is on their teams that they got drafted by in real life.

Did you go back a page or two and see the videos posted of what 'we' are complaining about.

The evidence is there, the CPU spams the paint with spins, up and unders, etc, etc. They waste the shot clock doing nothing than absurdly go to the paint at will and score and if you play good defense they will get the rebound or something. It's comical.

Yeah, I saw the Mavs one. I'm just saying generally, we should all do more to collaborate and help each other instead of coming on here trolling, bickering like me and DirtyJerz did, and getting nothing accomplished.

It ain't that serious where I wanna get into arguments with people over their perception of a game or anything. I'm just saying, those people can help us - some of who may not even HAVE the patch and are going off of word-of-mouth on here - get an idea of what to expect in the game. If I came off wrong, then I apologize, but the above message is what I was trying to get across.

Here are my Reverse Placebo impressions-- I played a few games not knowing the 3MB patch was actually the final patch while I waited for the real patch to be released, so I placed blame on everything I didn't like or didn't go my way as being part of pre-patched CPU cheese.

Golden State (me) vs. Magic

I was getting blown out regularly because I wasn't playing very seriously. The one time I hunkered down and played good D I almost won. That is until I got confused one critical possession when the CPU subbed Curry to SG and I was trying to switch to PG through icon passing. Jameer made a midrange with the space I gave him, then Turkoglu became a monster with a rebound dunk and a spin layup. The latter felt like pure end of game cheese, and I was thinking that would be gone with the patch-- except it was the patch.

Still, the fact that I stayed in the game felt like the momentum CPU catch up logic was dialed back a bit. There was a long stretch where neither team could score.

For some reason I had a terrible time shooting with Ellis, and it felt like my shot was affected significantly if any CPU defender was in the area while the CPU would still occasionally make shots in my face at the buzzer. I was able to finish some alley oops on fast breaks that I didn't think would go, but I didn't notice any real improvement with passing speed. Even the lob seemed extraordinarily slow. The up and unders seemed somewhat reduced though, and I even saw a few good plays and a kick out. The CPU was killing me on rebounds, but then again, it was Dwight Howard. I did get a few more offense rebounds that I usually do, so maybe that is improved. Didn't feel like I could drive much at all with Ellis, one of the fastest guys in the league-- I might just be out of practice or not good enough, but it didn't exactly *feel* significantly improved. A good test would be to play against the Spurs who killed me pre-patch after extended testing and see how I fare.

What's wrong with the first video? The defender anticipated the pass and took it from you. A good defensive play that really shows how organic the CPU can be. If this happened every possession then it would be a problem. You could always jab, or fake shot, or ball fake before passing btw. I love how your complaining about a legitimate thing that happens all the time in real life and shows some good ball physics.

I only played myplayer so far. I did not create a new one but continue the season with my rookie center. I had framerate issues in every games. CPU players still abused the pumpfakes in the paint.
I'll try normal games tomorrow.

chalmers starts to raise his arms the exact moment I press the pass button. I don't think you can react that fast. at least not humans. also, how does jab fake shot ball fake before passing guarantee a successful pass? I know I can do those moves but what if chalmers has the same "reflex" after the move?
I want to pass to Hibbert - what can I do in this situation? press the pass button - and this happens. so does this mean that I have to Jab / Pass fake etc before the pass? is this is a rule? how am i going to know when to do what to make this pass ? you say this happens "all the time" in real life - does this mean that it happens more than the opposite of this case which is completion of this what's supposed to be an easy pass ?

the point was to show that post passing is not completely fixed. actually it's probably not the passing it is the defensive awareness.

good ball physics? I am talking about human anatomy.

To people complaining about fast breaks, I've not had any issues. Mind you I just got the game yesterday playing pro right now. Played 3 games? Usually LBJ gets down quicker than anyone and with Barea I almost never get caught. I'll agree with the shot clock running out bit and the getting in the paint. Also in the 4th teams seem to go off.

He's probably referring to the fact the ball was already past the defenders hands and morphed it's way back into his hands. I've seen a lot of that.

Yeah I thought the same thing; I'm thinking, "Why would you pass into the post with a defender RIGHT in front of you?" That's asking to get it stolen. I kind of wonder what kind of "realism" some people want here at OS.

Looks like I might be done with this game. Unless they plan on another patch, I'm not playing this game the way it is. I know it seems tedious BUT two issues stand out that wasn't address:

- I'm a coach mode only player and I cannot call individual plays for players. Limiting my play calling options in coach mode kinda defeats the purpose of coach mode.

- CPU non-double teaming players when they get hot OR if there is a mismatch in the post. 2K11 did this perfectly, Why did they remove it now?

Looks like I'll be playing 2K11 for another year.
