I didn't notice if this happened before the patch or not. I started a new My Player career as a PG with the latest rosters. I get drafted 17th by the Knicks. I went through the roster and noticed Iman Shumpert was on the team, drafted 17th by the Knicks.
Seems kind of dumb to me that the game allows two players to be drafted with the same pick.

That happened in 2k11, as well ask 2k10 as well.

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

Stop jumping when the CPU is pumpfaking. Just stay on your feet and put a hand up in their face and the success rate of the pump fake cheese is reduced DRAMATICALLY. STAY ON UR FEET

They don't let you move a controller over to the cpu side in the options and change the settings/strategies like they used to do ?

I didn't get the game on ps3 yet. Was waiting to see if this patch was any good & for the real NBA season to start up. Trying to decide if It's worth it from reading thru this thread is tough with all the conflicting reports.

Played a little on pc when it came out but couldn't handle the inability to play man to man defense . I couldn't control my player because he was sliding all over the place like i stated earlier.

Could never fastbreak, while the CPU would have no problems...The unstoppable Hakeem up & unders by everyone was really unrealistic and annoying too.

Whew finally made it through the thread.

One question for the guys who think the patch was all placebo or for the guys who don't see a difference in the gameplay. Did you reset your sliders and play the game on the defaults with default rosters ?

Does anyone who says the Ai doesn't go inside to howard have a capture card ? I have seen snippits of bad gameplay but I would like to see a whole 12 min Qtrs just out of curiosity's sake.

FYI I spoke to 2k about the double teams and fastbreak speed. Have no idea if anything will come of it but after the patch I mentioned both issues to them so we don't have to keep re-posting those two issues over and over and over hoping they see it.

I would also love to see a 3rd or 4th qtr miracle comeback if anyone has a whole quarter posted anywhere.

I can say without a doubt that the fastbreak speed is tweaked.

I think i found a source that said 2k is already working on another patch. Let me try to find it and post the website here.

You mean they might actually release a BIG patch? This patch was just some minor tuning and fixes, didn't really address much or add anything new or added back any of the many things that were removed from 2k11.

Let me just say, that the patch has made things better in some areas. The passing is much, much better which was my major gamebreaker before the patch. However...

-The CPU up and unders are still there, even if they are less prevalent. I'm not saying that these moves shouldn't happen ever, but once every 3 possessions is overdoing it. And to the people saying to just use the arms up defense, that doesn't work since the CPU will just glide by that. And of course jumping with Y leads to a foul call 3/5 of the time.

-The CPU still fast breaks a bit too easily in relation to the human. I see Czar has mentioned that to the devs, which is good to hear. A bit better than before, but still an issue IMO.

And a couple of things which are really bugging me:

-The CPU NEVER jumps on pump fakes. Yeah they will do the little hand thing, but they will never jump, ever. To me this is a bit too perfect as far as the CPU AI. As someone who doesn't abuse the pump fake and uses them situationally, it's frustrating to see a basic basketball element be close to useless for the user. Same with post moves, the CPU never bites on the fakes. I'm not saying the CPU should be jumping out of their shoes every time you fake, but there should be more balance to it and every CPU defender shouldn't have jedi mind reading power to know when you're shooting and when you're just pump faking.

-Plays: To me some plays take way too long to execute, due to my players not hustling to initiate and carry out play calls. I'm not sure if that's something that could be addressed in a future patch, but right now for some reason the play calls just seem robotic and slow, which is a shame since it's obvious so much work was done to improve this from 2K11.

Overall I have to say I like the improvements, but hope that more will be done to tweak some of these things which can't really be fixed w/ sliders.

AwEsome czar. Thanks. I can't believe it's nt in. I thought it was in earlier games. Simply not NBA bball without doubles. Can u imagine how much superstars would score if no one doubled? Wow.

[Lobcity]

I put in my disc and it updated the patch. Once it was done I went and checked my rosters. No rookies, no roster updates. Can anyone help? I've reseted the roster and put the disc back in a billion times. (P.S. Sorry if this was already addressed but I don't have time to read 29 pages lol)

No double teams is unbelievable. Beluba and co...what happened?????????? That's unacceptable. Seriously fellas, that's EA basketball 2004 style. For 2K to screw that up so badly in 2011 / 12 is just unbelievable.

Whilst I appreciate your passing on the comments Dzar, there's absolutely no way the 2K team didn't already know this. It's obviously a code problem they can't fix or else they would have done so already.

It's basically meant I can't use a team with a star post player.....as they never get doubled.

I am probably going to play with Golden State to avoid the problem as they have no post players worth a double anyway. If you want to use the Spurs, Magic, Bulls, Heat, Mavs etc and post guys like Duncan Boozer Bosh Howard Dirk etc then the game is basically ruined as you can post all game without getting doubled.

Unacceptable. I can't believe they've become so complacent at 2K.

Simballer? Beluba? How'd this happen?

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

Question, is there a prompt that's supposed to come up when you download the patch for PS3 or something or does it automatically load or something? I've still yet to see a thing...I see the updated rosters (had to delete some previous roster files I had first) finally but nothing about a patch. This is irritating. I assume there's no way to download this patch manually?

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

umm... sorry if i sound stupid, but there is double teaming. whenever i have a problem with a player, i go to the defensive settings and set double teams in the post or on ball, etc. What's wrong with doing this? or are people just lazy...
