If you don't like it, then why haven't you turned it in yet?

Because this is the only weapon we have:come here and complain(in a civil way,without offensive lenguage) about all the mistakes 2k made with this game.

How is the speed online??? Does it still feel clunky and like your playing the game at half speed???

That's exactly why I can't play this game right now. I just can't stand the force CPU shots and spinning layups to do over and over. why even have tendencies of the CPU pg's all play the same?

Its because the 2K Insider roster updates has all the pg's tendencies just alike. 2K really needs to fix the tendencies in this game, it would improve the game even more. Stuff like this and bigs doing crossover moves on the perimeter is a tendencies issue that 2K needs to address in the roster updates. Also the lack of aggresive star pg's sg's and sf's that drive to the lane and always spin or pass out of the shot. 2K has alot of players attack the basket tendency much lower than there pass out tendency.

Also I got a interesting question. I noticed after the patch my NBA Today screen is still displaying the matchups/schedule for what have beent the 82 game season, but I thought after the patch the NBA Today feature would update to the current post lock out schedule? Has anyone's NBA Today menu/screen shown the current/accurate scheduled games? Maybe it will update today since I think preseason games start today?

I have yet to try but from what I've read its like the players are on crack and in hyper mode.

Nah, it feels fine to be honest. I'll test some more just in case

After really trying to get used to the little nuances this year's game has, I think I'm going back to 2k11. My biggest gripe is the lack of controller response when performing moves. I don't understand how or why the response time could be worse than last years game.

Not to bash anyone who enjoys it, I just feel like this was 3 steps forward, and 4 steps back this year.
When I play these videogames I expect them to be fun with modest difficulty but it should not be this frustrating to enjoy a videogame!

Alot I things are done right, but most of the issues are fundamental flaws that should be expected to work in any basketball game whether it be a "Sim" or arcade style.

Passing: I'm glad they tuned the lead passing, but how on earth did this game ship with slow floaty passes? You can't say it's user error when the devs tried to patch it. Passing should never need to be patched in a basketball video game period!

Physic CPU defense- I know they try to make the game challenging but my button press should not trigger the CPU's! It's like they know what I'm doing before I do!

I have learned my lesson though thats for sure. I will never buy anymore of these sports games on release day anymore. The fact that its December and the game is still being worked on its laughable. I am aware of the crunched development cycle these guys are under, but spending 65 bucks for a game on release day then waiting 2 months before its patched is crazy.

I get excited for every basketball release ever year, but I now understand why some of the guys on here wait till black Friday to pick up the game.

- CPU doesn't wait until the shot clock is at 5 to take a shot. They move the ball around, look for a good shot. Basically, the CPU is more smarter. You see the CPU actually running their plays better, throwing ally oops.

I *think* this is better than pre-patch, but I still see possessions here and there where the CPU just freezes and then launches one from 3 feet beyond the arc. Given how much the CPU is likely to cheeze me at the end of the game, I tend to take it as a gift.

Yep.

Pretty much agreed.

Though the patch made this game slightly better, it's still annoying as hell.

You CANNOT defend these damn layups, even when you try to defend, you get a foul called on you.

My Player still lags for some reason, do I have to start a new one?

Thanks, Going to give it a go in a few, how up to date are the new rosters? I would have to sign up for Gold for a month just to get them, or should I wait?

As I stated prior to the patch's release, I didn't think they could fix the multitude of problems 2k12 has. I agree with the comment someone made about fundamentals. If you don't have basketball foundation, you don't have basketball,plain and simple. I would like an explanation from 2k as to why the gameplay has taken steps backward. The short time to work on the next installment is irrelevant when you already have certain fundamentals established (passing, rebounding). I promise I won't be in line Oct 2012 on release night. As a matter of fact, I will rent 2k's and EA's basketball games 1st and then go from there.

I played 3 games last night with the patch (Pro/Sim), and I can honestly say I had a much better time. The CPU definitely doesn't sit on the ball as much wasting the clock, and I felt like they just flat out weren't making so many BS shots, especially when I had the lead. Passing is much easier now, and getting the ball inside isn't frustrating any more. I can't think of one occasion in 3 full 48 minute games where I felt screwed over on a post entry pass. The only ones I turned over were the ones I gambled on (over the top, etc.).

I would still LOVE to see the speed issue addressed, but I can live with this patch if it's all we're getting. I still have control issues from time to time, mainly on hop-steps and post shots. I know the hop-step Y button was easy to exploit in the past, but I guess I just haven't gotten used to doing it the new way. It's much less effective also, when I do pull it off. I also have a hard time with my hook shots down low sometimes. It drives me nuts when I want to turn baseline for the hook and instead the guy puts up some crap animation directly into the contact, which is pretty much a guaranteed brick. I play on the Broadcast camera, which may be my problem with the directional controls, but I just hate the 2k cam too much to switch back now.

no you dont need gold, someone can upload them to a filehosting site and you can download from there and put it on your HDD/storage device
