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.

Thanks Mos1ted. I really missed how the game played and looked so much better with boxing out and realistic big men verticals when we first fired up 2K11's patch. Would definitely like to see boxing out again, but if everything else plays as well as you say, it's an oversight I can live with.

Do folks remember the ridiculous vertical centers had when rebounding on 2K11 pre-patch? That was amusing, and easily as immersion breaking as many of our current issues. I don't know what the reaction to it was on OS, but for some reason I just grinned through it, probably because it was so visually jarring I knew it would be patched.

Oddly enough, I've never had complaints about foul frequency that others have had. I get plenty of calls-- but then again I also drive into contact a lot with Monta Ellis and end up at the line a fair amount. Ironically, Monta doesn't get the calls when he drives in real life, because he actually tends to shift his body away from contact and doesn't get Kobe superstar calls. I do get clobbered now and again with no calls-- that was annoying, but my overall foul numbers were okay with my play style. But it sounds like I won't be robbed as much when I need to score on a possession.

Have not noticed any unrealistic play so far, no PG making layups over multiple 7 footers

This I do not understand bro.

To be honest, the % of contested layups in this game was no issue AT ALL for the CPU or the User. It was actually the opposite from what you are saying. They missed too many to me, and this was for either superstars or average players. Honestly, they even missed the hell out of mildly contested layups or even layups with no contest, but a defender near by.

If you are good at using the shot stick, finishing at the basket contested or not was perfectly fine. If they actually made it worse then it would be a horrible thing.

No offense, but I just hate to see people mention things for changes when there is nothing wrong with whatever specific issue to begin with. Do you really feel like layups were too easy?

FYI....... Im a beast in this game so its definitley not user error, im 61-19 and have never cheesed in my 2k career. I just cant understand how layups could have been seen as a problem with too many going in.

I'm wondering about this to. I would love to know what they mean by "general optimization improvements were made in order to improve the overall online experience."

I got a matchup I was looking for: George Hill vs Tony Douglas. A man's ankles don't deserve that kind of abuse. To my isomotion technicians, you can finally feel confident in your abilities again. The defenders are human again! And this is on Hall of Fame/Sim. And blocking feels so much better. You're now rewarded for timing.

uh oh...i passed to a cutting big man with that garbage one-handed overhead pass...it went right through Drew Gooden's head and got to the reciever cleanly...seems 2k has allowed some questionable ball physics in order to make inside passing easier...i guess an occasional pass going through a head is better than not being able to pass inside at all.

Defenders are reacting properly to crossovers now?!

I think he was referring to the CPU, and yes, the CPU's routine of having Luke Ridnour turn into Hakeem in his prime with the up and unders was nonsense and at the very least needed to be toned down.

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

It made it easier because you no longer feel cheated by players playing beyond their abilities, only down side I noticed is that in my first game against the Knicks Melo was not really aggressive, he scored at will but he was not getting alot of touches, another thing i noticed the CPU plays alot more selfish I have not noticed any last second passes to a teammate out of nowhere.

The melo issue can be fixed if you change his tendencies

It feels a lot like 2k11 post patch.
