Ball warping is in every sports game. That is not a reason to call the game average when every sports game has the same issue

dude...i know it's in every game, but it's especially bad in this year's version...it's a real problem when you position yourself right in front of the ball handler and he is able to dribble the ball right through your abdomen and get to the hoop with no collision...

in 2k11 i could've at least initiated a bumping animation in that situation and stopped his progress...now he just dribbles through my body...

also...on those damn up-and-under moves near the hoop....on those moves the game just turns off all collision detection with the player and the ball...last night a guy did that leaning up-and-under and his arm and the ball passed through the torso of two of my defenders - and he made the damn shot....in 2k11 if there was a defender in the way it would lead to a collision layup and a missed shot...2k12 is just much worse than 2k11 in this area.

same problem with the spin moves and hop steps in the paint - in 2k11 if a guy tried to hop step or spin right into a defender he would sometimes knock him over and get called for a charge...now a guy can literally spin directly into a crowd of 3 defenders and not get bumped or affected by one of them...all the defenders just conveniently get nudged back like he's a bowling ball knocking pins around.

Make sure you have Living Rosters set to "ON" in the 'Load/Save Options' screen.

The patch blows monkey d**k. They still make three pointers with ease, F*** you 2K for this piece of game!

Interesting stuff. I was impressed (more like relieved) post-patch too but then the 2nd time I played the game a few days later, I was thoroughly frustrated again (bad controls, poor responsiveness, canimation hell).

Is it really possible that the patch effectiveness is lost after the roster update, or actually needs re-setting?

It's been a rough year for NBA 2K. What a fall from grace.

try manually loading your settings at the home screen it has helped me i believe the patch downloads to the user settings.

Yes I have..along with the game freezing after the game is over.

I played an online game unranked game (sim setting). Is it conceivable that the patch wasn't loaded?

Not if you played online.

I can't get this Saving content thing on the bottom right to go away,i have tried everything.

Is there somewhere in the game you can go to check which version of the game you have? I can't tell if I have the patch or not.

Impressions:

- Have had a few times where it felt the patch didn't "take" for some reason. Have been loading my settings manually at the start and haven't seen the issue since. Still, may be occurring for others and causing unnecessary frustrations

+ Still trying to feel out the overall movement; had gotten used to the sense of momentum pre-patch and liked the overall smoothness of the animations although some felt a lack of control. Post-patch the movement seems a little more static, but still a nice sense of implied momentum/glad they didn't go overboard. The animation-blending is really highlighted with this patch; seeing noticeably more dynamic animations and animation interaction. The animation variety is fantastic; I'd say best ever in a sports game

+ Post game isn't as overpowered as it was pre-patch imo; they made it slightly more awkward to pull the moves off. Also better with anticipating a player's direction and defending them

+ Playing cpu on higher difficulty levels much more enjoyable/less frustrating

- Overall lack of charges

+/- Would like to see a slightly bigger speed differentiation, but much easier to get around opponent than it was pre-patch

+ cpu isn't as psychic on interior passes; opens up the post game and fast breaks more

Just some things off the top of my head; patch is a big plus imo. While it doesn't address Every.Single.Issue. it definitely improved the game overall

If you deleted the game from your hard drive shouldn't it prompt you to download the patch again when you put the disc back in?

What I'm liking about the patch is that I can just play on All-Star/Simulation and get very good results. Slider tweaking can be a headache, so it's nice to just play the game.
